Contusions are those Injuries to the issues of the body caused by their coming In contact with some blunt ob ject, in simple or slight contusions the Injury Is confined to the area very closely surrounding the point of con tact. In severe contusions the sys temic effect or the shock produced may cause Immediate death. In a con tusion the external 6kin surface is not broken and only the underlying struc tures show evidence of Injury. To a greater or less extent a -contusion ac companies lacerated and incised wounds (where the skin is broken) and in many cases it is a very serious complication. Any of the structures below the skin may be injured by a contusion as the tearing of muscle fibers, rupturing of blood vessels, para lyzing of nerves or crushing of bones. The part Injured Is tender on pres sure and painful on movement. Swell ing may take place at once from the rupture of a blood vessel or after a short time rrom the collection of serum to the part There I always a certain amount of shock produced which in some cases, as some con tusions of the abdomon. may cause im mediate death. After a few days. In most instances, the blood from the ruptured blood vessels finds its way towards the surface and the skin be comes discolored. This Is very no ticeably shown in cases of "black and blue"' eyes. Sometimes the tissues have been so deadened that th;y break down and slough away or become In jected and are destroyed by that means. Preventive Measures. As preventive measures for contus ions, never strike any one about the head. face, or body, especially In the abdomen. Nearly every one knows how easily bis wind may be "knocked out" even by a light blow in the abdo men. In games, such as football, where contusions are liable to be frequent. Wounds of the Skin Wounds of the skin and tissues may be of three kinds, first, tears (lacera tions) made by a fairly blunt instru ment as a stone; cuts (incised wounds) made by a sharp instrument as a knife or piece of glass; and third, puncture wounds made by some article or relatively small diameter as a splinter or a bullet. The dangers of wounds of the skin are infection or inflammation, bleed ing (hemorrhage) from some wound ed blood vessel, destruction or cutting of some nerve, the cutting of some muscle or bone, and the wounding of some internal or vital organ. Death may result from an Increase of the infection to a general blood poisoning (septicemia), or from bleed ing (hemorrhage), or from injury of some vital organ as the brain. De formities and ugly scars sometimes follow the healing of such wounds. Wounds quite frequently accompany sprains, and fractures and disloca tions. Preventive Measures. In order to prevent wounds we should be very careful while handling sharp tools. Never allow children to piny or run with open knives, sharp sticks or broken glass. Never point a gun or allow anyone else to point one at anybody, no matter whether It Is loaded or not. because too frequently I it is the guns that "are not loaded" that go off and Injure people. Treatment. In treating wounds it is a good plan to allow them to bleed freely for a short time, ii they will, as some of the germs (bacteria) which are almost al ways carried into the wound by the Instrument that makes it. may be washed out In this way. If this bleed ing is very excessive or long contin ued it should be stopped. Methoils of stopping bleeding will be given in a .later paper. After the bleeding has stopped the outside of the wound should be washed, and If It Is not deep, the whole wound should be cleaned by washing It thoroughly with hot water that had been boiled for a ;short time and cooled. Some mild 'antiseptic or disinfectant may be add ed to the water, as bichloride of mer cury (corrosive sublimate), so that the solution Is of about the strength of one part of the bichloride to 2.000 parts of water (1-2000): enough boric uratcd solution about 1 part to 5 or I 10 parts of water (1-5 or 1-10): or carbolic acid (phenol) so that ther Is 1 part or carbolic to 50 parts of water (1-50). A person before at tempting to clean out a wound should first wash his own hands thoroughly in boiled water and soap for at least three minutes continuously so as to get off all the germs. Do not use dirty rags or cotton waste to wash out Avoid the Moon's Rays "The majority of Porto Ricans have Instilled In them from earliest infan cy a superstitious dread of the full moon's rays. It is a curious sight to tho merican visitor to note men and women going along the streets and highways of the island with umbrellas raised over their heads at night, and the more brilliantly the moon is shi ning the greater will bo the number of nconle who are thus protecting them selves from her beams," said a visitor recently returned.

The best treatment for the contus ion itself Is absolute rest of the part for a short time. This may be pro cured by bandages, slings, splints or putting the patient to bed. Finn ban daging lessens the amount of swelling and favors its re-absorption. Cold in the form of lcebags or cold water placed on the part also tend to lessen the swelling. Considerable caution must be used in the application of cold as the tissues are always a little devitatized by the contusion and the added slowing of the circulation by the cold may cause them to die and decay. Therefore, if the tissues appear to have a low vitality, they should be kept warm by being surrounded by hot water bottles and covered with wann ed blankets and other covers. After a few days the part should be massaged, kneaded, and moved about, slowly at first but with Increasing force. Rubbing with some liniment as witcbhazel, arnica or soap liniment may also help some to Improve the conditions at this time. When the Shock Is General. If the general shock is at all severe It must be treated by stimulants as aromatic spirits of ammonia, brandy or strong coffee. The patient must be kept warm by covers and some form of artificial heat as hot-water bottles or heated bricks. If breathing has stopped, as Is so often the case in blows on the stomach, artificial res piration should be given at once and maintained continuously until the pa tient Is able to breath normally. Meth ods of artificial respiration will be given when treatment of drowning is considered. A physician should be called in all cases where the shock is at all mark ed, as some serious injury may have been done to some of the Internal or gans. wounds because you are liable to wash in more germs than you wash out Always use clean cloths that have been washed and Ironed or heated In a hot oven for five or ten minutes, or they may be boiled at the same time that the water Is heated. After the wound has been cleaned out. or If deep Its outer surface wash ed, apply a dressing of some soft clean material prepared in the same way as Tor washing out the wound and it may be put on either dry or moistened in the antiseptic solution used. When possible it is better to apply some sterile gauze dressing similar to that kept at most drug stores. The dressing is kept in place of a snug bandage. In case of a splinter or other foreign body in the skin, remove all of it be fore applying dressings If possible. If not able to remove all of it, apply dressing and have the patient see a physician. In cases of a bullet wound never probe around in the wound to try to find the bullet, but be satisfied with cleaning off the outside of the wound and applying a clean dressing. Then have the patient see a surgeon at once. Never put tobacco juice or ,Iour cr spider webs or anything simi- lar on a wound of any kind. Pliny's Standing Joke. In his "Natural History" Pliny made i a standing joke for centuries by tell ing how ancient deep-sea divers pour ed ol! on stormy seas to quiet them. Benjamin Franklin, printer. Republi can, revolutionist, kite-flyer, electri cian, physicist, natural philosopher, jack of all great deeds, was the first to clear up the oil and troubled wa ters question. In 1757 at sea he saw the wakes of two of the ships that seemed smooth as glass In a whitecap sea. The skipper "guessed the cooks wert emptying their greasy water through the scuppers." Franklin at first thought it a sea joke, a tale for the marines, but never forgetting any thing, he remembered Pliny's divers story- Years later at Clapham on a windy day he poured a teaspoonuful of olive oil on the half-acre of stormy pond water and stilled the pretty pond tempest, even as a miracle in Holy Writ. Franklin then bore such a repu tation that none dare question when he described this "smooth as a looking glass" experiment in the Royal Philo sophical Transactions. Desperate. "There comes Tupper.

Massachusetts bred, he has waxed vigorous under the smoke-reck of many battles and lives to tell a tale of hard fighting through many campaigns and of victories aplenty.

CLEVELAND'S MEMORY Only $25,C0O More Needed for the Big Tower to Be Erected at Princeton. Newark, N. J. The erection of a lofty tower at Princeton, N. J., to be known as the Nation's Memorial In Perpetuation of the Memory of Grover Cleveland, is now definitely assured. In an announcement to "all those who appreciate the unselfish, patriotic and courageous work of Grover Cleve land," John F. Dryden, chairman of the Cleveland Memorial association, sets forth the progress and scope of tho work. He shows that $75,000 or the 1100,000 required for that purpose has already been pledged, and a final ap peal is made for the prompt subscrip tion of the remaining $25,000. so that the actual work of construction ma; begin. This tower will be erected upon tho tract known as the old golf links a site commanding a wide sweep ol Proposed Memorial Tower. country, from which the toer will be distinctly visible to the many millions of people passing yearly over the pub lic highways and the Pennsvjvania railroad. The tower Itself will be about 150 feet high by 40 feet square, of a sil very gray stone, and of great architec tural strength and beauty, with in terior accommodations for memorial purposes, including personal and na tional relics associated with Mr. Cleve land's life work. It will form the cen tral shaft in connection with which will be erected other buildings in the future, to form what is known as the graduate scLool. with which M. Cleve land was so closely Identified during the last years of his life and for which the Wyman and other bequests, aggre gating several million dollars, have recently been made. The contribution! to this memorial have come from all parts of the country and range ic amount from $1 to $5,000. ARMLESS MAN GOOD SWIMMER His Performance In the Schuylkill River Astonishes Spectators in Philadelphia. Philadelphia. Claire Lutz of Roch ester, a man minus arms, but blessec with two feet that are wonderfulls dextrous, swam about 150 yards ii the Schuylkill river and thereby pro vided entertainment for several thou sand persons who were drawn to tbt Market street and the Chestnut street .bridges by advance notices of Lutz'i feat. The man made an exceedingly neat dive from a raft floated for the pur pose. The fact that an armless mar can swim was not quite so wonderful when the crowd saw him kick hfc way through the water. Lutz arose to the surface and calm ly turned on his back. Like any other mortal might do, he simply floated. Alternate kicks from his legs propelled him.

Ka3aBCssJssJgSEE5!!i3iJ' We Have Over Half of the New World rJlSiso j2 tq:T W SHINGTON The Indications be- ins that the census will show the population of the United States to be over 90,000,000. it seems assured that the republic contains more than half of the inhabitants of the New World. It is quite probable that all of the re maining countries of this hemisphere have fewer than 80,000,000 inhabi tants. That point can never be settled defi nitely until conditions change radi cally in many extensive regions of Latin America. Now most of the states south of Mexico and north of the Argentine either make a farce of their census taking or else do not at tempt it at any time. Recent estimates, partly based upon census records, which have been made in South America and Central America, indicate that there are about 70,000.000 people living between the Rio Grande and Cape Horn, including the West Indies. Canada has per haps 7,000.000. allowing for rapid growth since the census of 1901. and Newfoundland adds less than 250,000. Unless the estimates, which seem most intelligently made, are very wide of the mark in several countries where there are no authentic and ex act statistics of population, the total for the New World, outside of the United States, cannot exceed 80.000. 000. Brazil, much the largest country of South America, is the most populous in the "Vestcrn Hemisphere, except the United States. It is probable that Gives No Money A3 regularly as the sessions roll around, congress sidesteps, smoth ers; or overrides all propositions which would embark the government in the business of road building.

Where the states take a hand r. beginning is made towards obtaining "through routes." But. despite all that has been said for a revival of road building, notwith standing editorial support from publi cations of all partisan shades, the movement as yet has no central or ganization which presses the work along broad lines.

Capital Boys Are EMULATIONS to protect children from danger of injury and to have them looked after for violations of the regulations aro to be enforced by the Washington police. "The danger to children who make playgrounds of the streets." says Maj. Sylvester, "has been long since estab lished. Now that there 'are public playgrounds in different sections of the city the children should use them rather than risk their lives." Complaints against children playing on the streets sometimes cause a peck of trouble to the police. Children jump upon moving street cars. Others stand upon the streets. Others are loud and boisterous.' In past years Maj. Sylvester has fa vored the enactment of a limited cur few law. He still thinks something (suppress " SMUJ Government Has No Hall of Records P HAtt or MfOpP)rfflra A3 the country has been told about once a day for the last 20 years. Uie United States Government has no hall of records, no place where it can keep tho valuable documents which from time to time it is necessary to clear out of the departments and put some place for safe keeping.

Mexico, only about 25 per cent ot the size of Brazil in square miles. Is safely established In third place among all the nations of the New World, as far ss numbers go. In other respects the Argentine surpasses Mex ico, and so does Canada. Their indus trial output is greater and their for eign commerce Is larger in every way. Argentina and Canada are alke also. In growing so fast and with such as surance of continued swift expansion that they may overtake and pass Mex ico. Their chief cities already surpass the largest civic centers in the coun try which Diaz makes his footstool. But now neither is within 6.000.000 of the Mexican total. From these rivals, so unlike In many things, but so similar in their high hopes and their rapid development, down through countries like Peru. Columbia. Venezuela and Bolivia, the experts guess their way to the many small states which maintain a separ ate existence in Latin America. Costa Rica is probably the least of them all in numbers, counting but 350.000 resi dents. Cuba is fairly well filled up, ranking in density of population with several of the Southern states. As a rule, with comparatively few exceptions. Latin America Is rich In unsettled country. A very large part of the vast expanse of land south of the Mexican frontier, all the way to the southern end of South America lies open to settlement. Some uay such wealth In unused na tural resources must cause great growth, but that is a matter of the In definite luture. For the present it Is certain that the United States will hold its lead over the other countries of the New World, counting all of them together. for Road Building experiments in the use of materials are conducted by the specialists of this bureau. Here the government stops, lor the reason that dominant view in congress has been that this properly delimits tho government's function. Representative Anthony of Kansas introduced a bill in the house last win ter for the construction of a military highway between Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley, 100 miles, by convicts in the two federal penitentiaries at Fort Leavenworth. The bill was lost after a debate that developed Into a general discussion of the good roads movement. The measure had the indorsement of President Taft, the chief of staff of the army and the quartermaster gen eral. General J. Franklin Bell, then chief of staff, stated in a letter to Rep resentative Anthony that the proposed road would unquestionably be of great military lue and convenience." Farmers of many townships through which the proposed road would run offered to supply all the rock and other material to be used In its con- struction. Like others of Its kind, this meas ure was wrecked upon constitutional cause the constitution authorizes the construction of only such roads as aro required to meet military necessities and post roads. to Be Suppressed should be done for the better protec tion of children's morals. "Death and accident have been caused by street cars and other vehi cles." the superintendent of police says. "On the other hand, children pla;ing on the streets have caused destruction to property. "Ball playing on the streets," he continued, "has resulted in complaints on account of noises and broken win dows. The same hue and cry is raised when vacant l6ts are used for baseball and other games. At times, in certain localities. large and noisy gatherings are attracted." Maj. Sylvester wants the members of his command to deal gently with boys who cause trouble. While he wants the youngsters to get what en joyment ther can, he does not, how ever, want them to violate the law. Street corner gatherings are to be broken up. the superintendent says. Indulgence in profanity and other bad language Is to mean punishment All offenders who are caught will be pros ecuted. The police think that keep ing boys off the streets at night would accomplish much good. break out In a non-fireproof building. The loss of government property in this fire is thought to be less than $1,000. but in the library over the fire was a unique collection of geological literature containing more than 65.000 volumes. 85.000 pamphlets and 36.000 maps, the most complete collection of geological works and maps in this country if not in the world. What the United States Govern ment needs Is a magnificent hall of records, where all the valuable arch ives of the government might be stored in absolutely fireproof vaults. Some day after a few hundred million dollars' worth of these valuable rec ords have been destroyed congress will give us a hall of records. Few Up!

A man's word is his stock la trade. and It cannot be broken without In juring his commercial standing. Many good men grow careless of their word and fail to see the Importance of keep ing It until they have suffered some serious consequence. There are those whose word Is said to be as good as their bond. Whether It Is or not, their word must be good, for the world Is not easily deceived about suck mat ters. Keeping one's word Is more often a matter of habit than character. Good men. with the best of Intentions, some times become careless In respect to a promise, a statement or an engage ment, and while no harm Is meant. It might as well be. for one cannot hab itually break his word without los ing his caste as a "man of his word." Nothing Is more essential in business life as the element of confidence, and confidence, after all. rests entirely upon one's care in doing what he says he will do. This matter of per sonal integrity cuts a larger figure In business than we are sometimes will ing to admit. It is one of the de mands, that business makes of men to fulfill their words. Let business learn to distrust a man's reliability as to his word, and it will soon discount his liability as a business man. Omaha Bee. NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT ' "My little son, a boy of five, broke out with an itching rash. Three doc tors prescribed for him. but he kept getting worse until we could not dress aim any more.

There was not one square Inch of skin on his whole body that was Dot affected. He was one mass of sores. The bandages used to stick to bis skin and in removing them it used to take the skin off with them, and the screams from the poor child werJ heartbreaking.
