Just at preeent the greatest affliction of th human rac I death and disfigurement from bul let wound, and Dr. Carrel la bent on finding out what can be done to lower r.rinr-llne mortaMty rate. Not that anything ran be done for the man who la struck In some .vital point by a well-directed shell or pro jectile: but Ir. Carrel believe there are yet ne mh.-h might be avoided by a more ski'ru'l-a.!J ite.l stem of rsrlrg for the wounded. In an authenticated Interview. Pr. Carrrl come forward with a new theory cf treating the wounded, lie would do aaav with th present plan cf segregating the !lghfv wottr.tle-i from the seriously wounuVd ond send ing only thus who ar taJly hurt to th dlirtant rear. Despite tho use nf ant taentlf'M- ha find thousand of case of Infection, and although the old day of gangrene nave patwu, milder infection cause unpuimrau. la large number and frequently lead to death. It 1 the doctor' belief that all th wounded should bo hur . A tn nermanent hosDltaJ and given thorough treatment within tx hours after th moment of being hit. If a wound Is taken witnin w nnrioH Tie Carrel contends that In fection can be wholly prevented by use of a new antiseptic "men n been perfected In France. in afru-tures will come a some thing of a surprise to military sur geon who have devised the universal plan of first-old stations, dressing Bu tton, field hospitals and recrve ho- pltals. Treatment of th wounaea is ..t.emken on th firlnsT line, and If th wound are slight the sufferer may get no farther back than the dressing station Just In rear of the ion of flying bullets. Tho Carrel plan of a hospital close to tno firing r.un serious obstacles, par ticularly In urtalned operation by moving troop covering many mile of offensive or defensive maneuver. Tet the Idea I an excellent one. There can bo no question of tho advantage or rivlrr the wounded careful treat ment In a darkened and noiseless hos pital where they will be free rrom in f.riinm and rrom 'those Irritating dis turbance which do havoc to tho bur dened nervous systems or creatures who have suffered some shock aa a bullet Impact. Perhaps the hospitals ran bo put underground and their freedom from molestation by victor ious troop be made a matter of In ternational agreement. But whatever the result of Dr. Carrel's Inquiries in ihli nartlrular case th aublect of caring for the wounded la certain to find advancement through tne me dium of hi flrlng-llne investigations In Europe.

Attention 1 called to tho fact that rerular ahoala of these great fish wer one a common sight In Connecticut, although the species has become wholly extinct thereabouts. ConnecU cufa experience should be regarded for a moment with serious thought. The present barrenness of Connecticut streams emchaslxe tho Importance or car on our part lest w share the same fate.

And -o she did. and 'sent little Judy Eakln an autographed copy of the book and a long letter about how Judy was named. Last October Miss Webster married Mr. McKinney, who Is an attorney In New Tork City, and they ar now on their honey-tour In the Canadian mountain.

The sight of grlmsclng, capering, painted youths on the stage of the West End theaters has at last revolted the public, and there Is a strong damsnd being made on managers that no more chorus men be used In musical shows until after the war is over. "The newspapers are enthusiastically supporting th public in this case and are calling on the chorus .non In the West End playhouses to enlist in the army or navy or accept the alternative of being forcibly taken to the recruit ing offices and placed in the ranks of England's defenders. As a result, tne poor choristers are exceedingly wretch ed. Needless to say. they are not as a rule of the robust, fighting type of male. They think it perfectly awful' to be asked to go and be "brutal sol diers.' and soma of them are In hys terics over the situation. "The only kind of powder that the London brand of chorus men know how to use is face powder. The mere suggestion of fighting curdles their blood, but the great British public Is thoroughly aroused over the matter, and all kinds of threats are being mad against managers of theaters which allow chorus men, eligible for military duty, to appear on the stage. "It would be no surprise If the chorus men at on of the leading West End theaters, where a new show was produced a few nights ago, were mobbed and driven from the stage some day. There wss a startling dem onstration over their appearance on the opening night, the gallery hooting, hissing and Jeering the frightened youth until they almost collapsed. "Most of these chorus boys are now denying that they are Englishmen, but ay they are Americans, although they cannot show any passports to prove their nationality. If England has to rely on chorua men to fight the Ger mans, there Is not much chance of winning the war. Fancy a regiment of chorus men! What would th Boshes dj to them? ABSTRACT VS.

The whole half-year it took him then, with many a varying change; With courage strong he plodded on to cross the Rocky range.

The urban population comes to the city to buy and each city, no matter what its size, has its distinct clientele. Each city has Its newspaper unit with urban and suburoan circula tion. To a large extent the advertising In these newspapers Influences the buying. That Is why the newspaper is so supreme in the general advertising field. Its daily message reaches the buy ing public at the rlace of sale and at the right time. Manufacturers who study the ad vertising problem for themselves realize this.
