lodine's Worth As Antiseptic !

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. A RECENT report for surgeons tells us that iodine is still regarded by many as fine of the best antiseptics for the skin. This is worth putting down in our mental notebooks. Evendoctors have questioned the effectiveness of iodine from time to time, and the idea had occasionally arisen thit Itihight have been dangerous to use. But time and experience have shown that iodine has proved to be a good antiseptic because it kills germs In a fairly short time. It usually does not lose its strength when it contacts the fluid or serum of the skin, or the fats, soaps, or oils used to dean the skin. Neither is it irritating to the skin. A colored antiseptic like iodine clearly marks the portion of the skin that has been, treated. This * is especially desirable when an area must be disinfected thoroughly. Another good quality of iodine Is Its relative cheapness as Com-’ pared with the cost of some other ' antiseptics. *7 7 .• 7 Recent Study 7 J The study recently reported 1 was made on 100 people who had P iodine applied to the skin before t and after abdominal operations. The two most frequently wed solutions of iodine were tested. Refore the iodine was used, the skin was cleansed with soap and water. When the incision was

Although they do not expect him to ; win on election day, (hey hope that with three parties in the] field, none will get a majority and the choice will then fall to the noose of representatives. ■ f <• | This has happen. d twice. In 1800 the old system lof election prevailed whereby leach presidential elector voted (or two men without specifying which was to be president and which vice-presi-dent. In 1800 Thames Jefferson and Aaron Burr were tied for the lead with 73 votes The Democrats wanted Jefferson, but the House could legally have chosen Burr. The defeated Federalists supported Bi|rr, and not until the 36th ballot did Jefferson win. J | In 1824 with four candidates in the -field no one had a majority.

Answer: Eczema in g baby is a chronic disease that is difficult to cure in many :lpstances. It very often disappears Wh& the baby is a year or 18 months old. After that time, the rash, if present at all, Is at the bends of the elbows and knees and behir d the ears. Most authorities ag nee that eczema is probably caused by proteins ih the food. The most common offenders are cowjlimllk, wheat, and eggs. An excess of fats and sugars is also to he avoided. Skin tests are of littge value in this condition. The use of milk. <*her than WW's mffit, may be ; necessary. Goat’s milk, W beaj? milk, almond milk, and Xooqs which do not contain cow’s mltk are often satisfactory.

SYNOPSIS ■ It is the year 1914 and we find Henry Lemay and Eloise, nis sister, living in the somnulanr city of Charleston. 8. C.. living in anticipation of a more abundant life. News has reached them that the Leinay family •fortune” tong impounded in France, may be released! to them. ‘Oh, blessed escape from the genteel poverty that has too tong engulfed them. Henry exalts. What wonderful tidings tor Leonie. their niece, on her return to them from college, any day now. But. will she take up with that Calvert boy. again? Heaven forbid. Henri prays. Ah. with money, the ability to travel luxuriously, to indulge the good; things of life. Henri is certain that he can lure his adored Leonie away from Lincoln Calvert, nephew of his old enemy. Unionist Col. Calvert. Such an 111 I•nc t is unthinkable! Henri's sharp-tongued old cousin. Julie Gerard, cautions him against high hopes, for she says therex many a slip twixt cup and lip! ! ' ■ -- ' i\ chapter five I FOR fully two thousand Saturday evenings Henri had made this journey afoot to Miss Antoinette's stately house on New street. He had begun as a young lover and had continued through most of the ills aging flesh inherits. He had kept on' through wind, rain and cold, spring, summer, fall and winter, with ever-lessening hope and finally with a resigned acceptance of his fate. That he had so long remained single was no fault of Henri’s. Early in life he and Heloise had accepted the fact that the care of their parents was their responsibility, and as Antoinette had a similar duty toward her own fa<ther, the years had slipped by. Henri had been ambition*, too. In his late boyhood he had discovered he. had the voice of a carousing stevedore, as if nature had been playing a prank on one Os his small size—and he had dreamed of becoming a famous basso. That, naturally, had been given up. In his forties Henri had, after the deaths of his father and mother, begun to make plans again, and he would have struck out for a change, had not his younger sister and her husband died of yellow fever in Guatemala. He and Heloise had adopted their baby niece, Leonie, and for nineteen years they had been faithful guardians. Perhaps Henri had been too faithful, for in his struggle to provide the best for the child he had established a stationery business which soon failed. It had taken him fifteen painful years to pay off the creditors, for he had refused to take advantage of bankruptcy. This had given him the reputation of being the most honest man in Charleston, but he was still working for twenty dollars a week. * However, none of these disappointments had succeeded in hending Henri’s back, and he stood as straight as a. young man in the imposing doorway of the fine old Georgian house and rapped discreetly with jthe brass knocker. The door was opened by Lucy, Antoinette’s tottering maid of all work, who had also once been L l ' U '■ :■ '

Is Miss Antoinette at home?” For forty years he had been asking that same question. “Yes suh,” Lucy responded. “Won’t you come in? She’ll, be right here." } , / Henri left his hat and stick on the table and sat on the little horsehair sofa. “Henri!” said Miss Antoinette, entering the room, andPiHenri sprang to his feet He came forward and took her hand, very gently, for Antoinette was arthritic. i f. \ J ■ “You’re looking very wall, my d/mr,** Henri said. Antoinette sighed. She was a small, bent, pale woman, excessively slow in her movements. Her thin face, which had been pretty, was still attractive. She had bright blue eyes, and her coquettish expression would have told you instantly that, at sixty-odd, she was still a Southern belle at heart. "I’m feeling very well,” she Said. “What a beautiful evening." “Magnificent,” Henri said. “There is pothing like the Charleston climate." h “And a complexion like yours, Antoinette,’’ Henri said, !‘is the best proof of that.” “Oh, Henri,” Antoinette said. They sat side by side on the horsehair sofa and Lucy hobbled in with sherry and glasses. Antoinette poured a glass for each of them, and the fiances sat sipping the wine and looking at each other. Over the years they had exhausted many topics, but there were always polite Inquiries to fill up the blanks. T. : “And how is Miss Heloise? And the little gyirl?” Antoinette asked. “They’re wpll, thank you," Henri said. “Leonie, you remember, is coming home the end of next week. I have to go up to her graduation.” “I’ll miss you." Antoinette said. “My, my, to think of that child a great big woman out of college!** •it’s been a long time," Henri said. “1 can hardly wait to have her home. Perhaps?* he went on, •things will be easier for my little some day. I’ve Just heard that there may be some family money coming to all of us.” “That would be wonderful,” said Ardninettp ‘ \ “If it had only happened twenty years ago, or even sooner, Antoinette," Henri said with a melting look. f ' ' i ■ ' “Things never happen at the right time/' Antoinette said. “And you and I were bom into an unfortunate generation, Heart Hut tell me an about IL” /.1 ’ Henn made the disclosure as brief as possible. “Os course, I'm too old a bird to be caught with salt on its tail,” he said, ••bift there’s a posaihtlity.

nette hopefully. . But the best Antoinette could do for him was to say again that it would be wonderful. “And speaking of legacies,” she said, “before I tell you something that 1 want your advice about, Henri, your spfeaking of that legacy reminds me that Edmund Calvert came in to see me this afternoon. With Lincoln.” Henri could not imagine what connection this had with his family inheritance, but Antoinette’s conversational habits were individual. It was enough for him to know that his rival had been there. He smiled stiffly. “Oh, yes," he said. **oll, yes,” “Lincoln Is going to farm. Did you know that?” "You mean right near by?” Henri demanded, shocked at this news, although he had expected the worst "He expects to find a farm across the bridge. My, he’s grown to be such a handsome boy. 1 always remember when he was little, and ne was sitting in that very chair over there that General Lafayette sat in. He was looking at the portrait of Grandfather Fielding and he said, ‘Miss Antoinette, did he wear a cravat under those whiskers ?’ ” Antoinette laughed a little screaming laugh at the recollection. | "The Calverts,” Henri said, indulging in cine of his rare witticisms, “were always looking under xnmeihing ” J/ / j “Oh, rn nevejr forget that,” Antoinette said, and Henri believed she-was referring to his joke until she repeated, “ *Did he have a cravat under those whiskers ?’ ** and laughed again. 7 ‘ Henri managed a polite laugh, too. "And now he’s grown up and about to become a farmer,” Antoinette said. “I remember when he went North to study. He always wanted to be a fanner. Edmund wanted him to be a lawyer but he said he’d rather be an undertaker. He’s very much like Edmund in some ways.” Henri did not consider this the highest praise. "I hope his principles are better,” he said flatly. “Oh, Edmund doesn’t mean halt of what he says. That reminds me of why 1 sapd your talking of that legacy made me think of him. He asked me what I thought of the Southall legacy.” "Nd do lib t he disapproves,” Henri said with heavy irony. “Well, now, that would he asking too much, wouldn’t it ? He said ho that it Was a nice gesture, and wljen I pelted film if he thought that awful John Brown deserved anything better than hanging he said John Brown was a martyr.”.j ' .1 ' ~ '

A Tribute Death! To many youths this is a dreaded word with a frightful meaning. It seems to signify the end of happiness—leaving behind pour poMtwhus you wked for so dißgautly, departing from your loved ones, wboae love you have treasured with all your heart, and abandoning jfour hopes and ambitions, which you have planned, pondered, anticipated, tor your future —to go to a celestial place you have heard and read about since ypu Were a mere child, but at a time of grief and sorrow find it difficult in which to believe. The faith and belief of the students of Decatur high school and Decatur Catholic high scbol were put to a great test last week. This test was brought about by the sudden death of our dearly belo ye d classmate, Rosemary Hetrick. Although she was in the prime of her lite, and it seemed cruel and unfair <to take her from ft, I know that ißosie is in complete happinesn. Rosie was tne type of person that never complained or gave up when the chips were down; she wouldn’t have thought of hurting one’s or saying nasty digs Bbout other people; she wor* ried herself siqk if one of her girt friends was angry with her. An incessant smile appeared on W fpce as she was always laughing at garnet bi ng little that amused her. Rosie was small and fragile, but she had courage comparable to that of the bravest soldier. Even during the crucial moments of preparation tor surgery, she joked and kidded with the nurses. Her friends were innumerable. Everywhere Rosie went she acquired everlasting friendships;/ she impryased total atrangerK with her expressive eyes and /ielfpossessed manner. She was truly a person ths* doesn’t haw* one enemy. When Rosie became so desperately ill, people of all ages and religions were praying for her recovery. ForXopr struggling weeks Rosie tried in vain to fulfill these prayers, but God had other plans for her. God called Rosie to His sertice because she was top good for this world. Even though her life was shorL she had a fruitful one. The memory of Rosemary Hetrick will long remain in the hearts of her fellow schoolmates. For she is not only a pleasant metnory <rf friendship, but also a paragon of everything perfect. She is a symbol of perfection —a goal which we are now all striving to equal. Jacquic Hite
