SHAM) GIVES BLOOD TO SAVE SICK WIFE A dispatch from Tacoma, Wash., dated last Saturday, says James Wood, of North Carr street, gave freely of his life's blood today In an operation at Fannie Paddock hospi tal, In the hope of saving the life of his young wife, Lucy. For some time Mrs. Wood has been In the hospital suffering from hem orrhages. It was finally decided that the only possible means of saving her life was by the Infusion of new healthy blood Into her veins. The situation was explained to Wood by Dr. F. W. Rlnkenberger and he free ly offered himself for the operation. It was performed In the presence of all the hospital nurses and many physicians. After an anesthestlc had been ad ministered, Incisions were made In arteries In the bodies of Wood and his wife and the two arteries then bound together. For 30 minutes the healthy blood from the man's body was allowed to flow into the woman's veins. At the end of that time the ar teries were again fastened separately. Although greatly weakened by his sacrifice. Wood appeared little the worse for It tonight, while Mrs. Wood's condition Is very much Im proved, and the Burgeons state there Is every prospect she will recover. HALL FY'S COM KT AXI) THE SCIKXTISTS Our friends the astronomers are making life miserable for a whole lot of timid people. Fortunately they do not all agree regarding tho effects of the comet. Here is one of those scientists who scents danger and kindly notifies us so that we may pre pare for the worst. If the astronomers are right In their estimates of the amount of cy anogen gas In the the tall of Halleys comet, and If that body's vapors do envelope the earth, we may have a chance to feel the sensations of the bugs and Insects which are killed by the use of this deadly gas as an ex terminator. Such was the cheerful opinion ex pressed by Professor Edwin Booth, of the department of chemistry at the University of California, and a well- known expert on spectrum analyses. "We will all be snuffed out," he said, "If a sufficient quantity of this cyanogen gas unites with the hydro gen of this planet's atmosphere. "Their union," ho continued, "would form the deadly gas known as hydro-cyanic acid, the most deadly poison known to science, which means death for all animals." MISSOURI FLAT GOSSIP. Grubbing!

"Ripe" meat Is the "swellest thing" In the line of diet among cer tain fashionable people In Washing ton. Unless It is ready to fall to pieces, the real "nobs" of the smart Bet won't eat it at all. This sort of meat was served at the White House during the Roosevelt administration, according to the testimony given by Food Inspector Dodge before the house committee on the District of Columbia, which Is trying to find out why It costs so much to eat in the capital city. Dodge testified that one day when he was about to con demn a big chunk of bad beef the I butcher begged him to hold off. "There's a footman outside waiting for a roast off that meat right now," said the beef seller. Concerning the moat served to President Roosevelt. Dodge said the steward was In the! habit of buying beef by the quarter. The quarters would be hung up In the open. Dodge said, nnd President Roosevelt would visit It every morn ing, poke his finger In it and not allow It to be used until It was "nice and ripe." Representative Johnson characterized that kind of diet as a gratification of canine appetite and asked Dodge If the ' butcher kept this same meat In the same box intended for civilized people." Dodge thought they did. llnpy Hands will get Into mischief often It moans n burn or cut or scald.

It is to De hoped that some law can be found which will punish severely the men engaged, both wholesale and retail, In misrepresentations. The farmers who furnish the eggs are also victims of these swindlers as these methods of supplying the market with fresh eggs keeps out the truly fresh ones. We hope that President Taft will have his attention called to this mat ter and that he will ask congress to pass a law that will catch these scoundrels who both rob the pro ducers and the consumers. There is room enough in the federal prisons for a whole lot of these fellows. Wauls to Kill President Taft.
