Kansas Women Office Holders,
Kansas leads the rest of the United
States in the matter of women office
holders. The ‘late election swept a
lot of them into offices, sweeping out
of office, of course, an equal number
of men. But so far there has been
no complaint heard about the matter,
for the women elected recently are
said to rank very high in intelligence
and integrity.
Fifty-eight women were elected
county superintendents of instruction
in the state. The women lead in that
office, which seems to be a favorable
one for them. But there were also
elected 36 registers of deeds, 25 clerks
of district courts, 15 county treasurers,
6 county clerks and 2 probate judges.
There is not another woman probate
judge in the nation.—Dayton News.
Caring for a Monkey Mascot.
The newest addition to the Berlin
zoological garden is a monkey which
was the mascot of the U-85 for a con-
siderable time.
The monkey originally was the mas-
cot of an English merchantman that
was halted by the German submarine.
He made trip after trip with the U-35
and was “in at the death” of several
merchantmen. His transfer to the zoo
was ordered only when it became so
cold that he was Hkely to suffer if ex-
posed.

Produced by Penetration of Sharp-
Pointed Substance, Such as Thorn,
Fork, Nail, Etc.—Symptoms
and Treatment.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
{ ment of Agriculture.)
Punctured wounds of horses are
| much more common than others. They
are produced by the penetration of a
sharp or blunt-pointed substance, Such
as a thorn, fork, nail, ete, and the
| orifice of these wounds is always
small in proportion to their depth.
P involve the feet most frequently,
next the legs, and often the head and
face from nails protruding through the
stalls and trough. They are also the
most serious, owing to the difficulty of
obtaining thorough, disinfection and
the lack of attention that they at first
receive. The external wound is so
small that but little or no importance
is attached to it, yet in a short time
swelling, pain, and acute inflammation,
often of a serious character, are mani-
fested.
‘ The most common of the punctured
wounds are those of the feet. Horses
worked in cities, about iron works,
around building places, etc., are most
liable to get “nails in the feet.” The
animal treads upon nails, pieces of
iron, or screws, and forces them into
the soles of the feet. If the nail, or
whatever it is that has punctured the
foot, is fast in some large or heavy
body, and is withdrawn as the horse
lifts his foot, lameness may last
for only a few steps; but unless prop-
erly attended to at once he will be
found in a day or two to be very lame
in the injured member. If the foreign
body remains in the foot, he gradually
grows worse from the time of punc-
ture until the cause is discovered and
removed. If, when shoeing, a nail is
driven into the “quick” and allowed
to remain, the horse gradually evinces
nail has at once been removed by the
smith, lameness does not, as a rule,
show itself for some days; or, if the
nail is simply driven “too close,” not
actually pricking the horse, he may
not Show any lameness for a week or
even much longer. Considering how
thin the walls of some feet are, the un-
easiness of many horses while shoeing,
the ease with which a nail is diverted
from its course by striking an old
piece of nail left in the wall, or from
the nail itself splitting, the wonder is
not that so many horses are pricked or
nails driven “too close,” but rather
that many more are not so injured. It
is not by any means always careless-
uess or ignorance on the part of the
borseshoer that is to account for this
accident.
Productive of Lameness.
From the construction of the horse’s
foot (being incased in an imperme-
able, horny box), and from the elas-
ticity of the horn closing the orifice,
punctured wounds of the feet are al-
most always productive of lameness.
Inflammation results, and as there is
ao relief afforded by swelling and no
escape for the product of inflammation,
this matter must and does burrow be-
tween the sole or wall and the sensitive
parts within it until it generally
opens ‘between hair and hoof.” It
may thus be seen why pain is so much
more severe. why tetanus (lockjaw)
more frequently follows wounds of the
feet, and why, from the extensive, or
at times complete separation and “cast-
ing” of the hoof, these wounds must
always be regarded with grave appre-
hension.
Symptoms and Treatment.
A practice which, if never deviated
from—that of picking up each foot,
cleaning the sole, and thoroughly ex-
amining the foot each and every time
the horse comes into the stable—will
reduce to the minimum the serious
consequences of punctured wounds of
the feet. If the wound has resulted
from pricking, lameness follows soon
‘after shoeing; if from the nails being
driven .too close, it usually appears
from four to five days or a week after-
wards. Always inquire as to the time
of shoeing and examine the shoe care-

fully, and see whether it has been par-
tially pulled and the horse stepped
back upon some of the nails of the
clip. Shooting pain is caused by
these wounds; the horse is seen to
raise and lower the limb or hold it
from the ground altogether; often he
points the foot, flexes the leg and
knuckles at the fetlock. Swelling of
the fetlock and back tendons also fre-
quently is seen, and is liable to mislead
us. The foot must be examined care-
fully, and this cannot be done prop-
erly without removing the shoe. The
nails should he drawn separately and
carefully examined. If there is no es-
cape of pus from the nail holes, or
if the nails themselves are not moist,
continue examination of the foot by
carefully pinching or tapping it at all
parts. With a little practice the spot
where pain is greatest can be detect-
ed cor the delicate line or sear left at
the peint of entrance of the foreign
body discovered, The entire sole is
then to he thinned, after which esire--
fully cut down upon the point where
pain is greatest upon pressure, and,
finally, through the sole at thig spot.
IVhen the matter has escaped, the sole,
so far as it was underizined by pus,
be poulticed for one or two days aad
of oakum saturated with carbolic acid
solution or other antiseptic 'dressing.
If a nail or other object is found in
the foot, the principal direction, after
having removed the offending body, is
to ent away the sole, in a funnel shape,
down to the sensitive parts beneath.
This is imperative, and if a good free
opening has been made and is main-
tained for a few days, hot fomenta-
tions and antiseptic dressings applied,
the cure generally 1s easy, simple,
quick and permaneni. The horse should
be shod with a leather sole under the
shoe, first of all applying tar and
oakum to prevent any dirt from en-
tering the wound. In some instances
the coffin bone, or enter the coffin
joint. Such injuries are always seri-
ous, their recovery slow and tedious,
and the treatment so.varied and diffi-
cult that the services of a veterinarian
will *be necessary.
Punctured Wounds of Joints.
These wounds are more or less fre-
quent. They are always serious, and
often result in stiffening of the joint
or the death of the animal. The joints
mostly punctured are the hock, fetlock,
or knee, though other joints may, of
course, suffer this injury. As the symp-
toms and treatment are much the same
for all, only the /accident as it occurs
in the hock joint will be described.
Probably the most common mode of
injury is from the stab of a fork, but
it may result from the kick of another
horse that is newly shod, or in many
other ways. At first the horse evinces
but slight pain or lameness. The own-
er discovers a small wound scarcely
larger than a pea, and pays but little
attention to it. In a few days, how-
ever, the pain and lameness become ex-
cessive; the horse can no longer bear
any weight upon the injured leg; the
joint, is very much swollen and pain-
ful upon pressure; there are well-
marked symptoms of constitutional dis-
turbance—quick pulse, hurried breath-
ing, high temperature, 103 to 106 de-
grees Fahrenheit, the appetite is lost,
thirst is present, the horse reeks with
sweat, and his anxious countenance
shows the pain he suffers. He may lie
down, though mostly he persists in
standing, and the opposite limb be-
comes greatly swollen from bearing
the entire weight and strain for so
long a time. The wound, which at
first appeared so insignificant, is now
constantly discharging a thin, whitish
or yellowish fluid—joint oil or water
which becomes coagulated about the
mouth of the wound and adheres to the
part in clots, like jelly, or resembling
somewhat the white of an egg. Not in-
frequently the joint opens at different
places, discharging at first a thin,
bloody fluid that soon assumes the
character above described.
Difficult of Treatment.
Treatment of these wounds is most
difficult and unsatisfactory. Much
can be done to prevent this array of
symptoms if the case is seen early—
within the first 24 or 48 hours after the
injury ; but when inflammation of the
Joint is once fairly established the case
becomes one of grave tendencies.
Whenever a punctured wound of a
joint is noticed, even though appar-
ently of but small moment, apply with-
outt the least delay a strong can-
tharides blister over the entire joint,
being even careful to fill the orifice
of the wound with the blistering oint-
ment. This treatment may be ef-
fectual. It operates to perform a cure
in two ways—first, the swelling of the
skin and tissues underneath it com-
pletely closes the wound and prevents
the ingress of air; second, by the su-
perficial inflammation established it
acts to check or abate all/deep-seated
inflammation. In the great majority of
instances, if pursued soon after the ac-
cident, this treatment performs a cure
in about one week, but should the
changes described as occurring later
in the joint have already taken place,
then treat by cooling lotions and the
application to the wound of chloride
of zine, ten grains to the ounce of wa-
ter, or a paste made of flour and alum.
A bandage will hold these applications
in place, which is only to be removed
when swelling of the leg or increasing
febrile symptoms demand it. In the
treatment of open joints the chief aim
must be to close the orifice as soon as
possible. The only probing of an open
joint should be when first the wound
is examined for foreign bodies or dirt,
and after removing them the probe
must not again be used. The medi-
cines used to coagulate the synovial
discharge are best simply applied to
the surface of the wound, or pledgets
of tow, and held in place by bandages.
Internal treatment is also indicated in
those cases of open joints in which the
suffering is great. At first administer
a light physic and follow this up with
sedatives and anodynes, as directed for
contused wounds. Later, however,
give quinine or salicylic acid in one-
dram doses two or three times a day.
Wounds of Tendon Sheaths.
Wounds of tendon sheaths are sim-
ilar to open joints in that there is an
escape of synovial fluid, “sinew water.”
Where the tendons are punctured sim-
ply by a thorn, nail or fork, after a
thorough exploration for any remain-
ing foreign substance, treat the wound
with the flour-and-alum paste, ban-
dages, etc, as for open joint. Should
the skin and tendons be divided, the
case is even niore serious and is often
incurable. There is always a large
bed of granulations (proud flesh) at
the seat of injury, and a thickening
more or less pronounced remains.
When the.back tendons of the leg are
severed. apply at once a high-heel
shoe (which is to be gradually low-
ered as healing advances) and bandage
firmiy with a compress moistened with

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND DON'T KNOW IT
Wesk and unhealthy kidneys cause so
much sickness and suffering and when
through neglect or other causes, kidney
trouble is permitted to continue, serious
results may be expected.
Your other organs may need attention —
but your kidneys should have attention
first because their work is most important.

cause of your sickness or run down con-
dition commence taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liverrand
bladder remedy, because if it proves to be
the remedy you need and your kidneys
begin te improve they will help all the
other organs to health.
Prevalency of Kidney Disease.
Most people do, not realize the alarm-
ing increase and remarkable prevalency
of kidney disease. While kidney dis-
orders are among the most common dis-
eases that prevail, they are almost the
last recognized by patients, who usualy
content themselves with doctoring the
effects, while the original disease con-
stantly undermines the system.
A Trial Will ‘Convince Anyone.
Thousands of people have testified
that the mild \and immediate effect of
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, is soon realized and that
it stands the highest for its remarkable
results in the most distressing cases.
s Symptoms of Kidney Trouble.
Swamp-Root is not recommended for
everything but if you suffer from annoy:
ing bladder troubles, frequently passing
water night and day, smarting or irrita-
tion in passing; brick-dust or sediment,
headache, backache, lame back, dizzi-
ness, poor digestion, sleeplessness, nerv-
ousness, heart disturbance due to bad
kidney trouble, skin eruptions from bad
blood, neuralgia, rheumatism, lumbago,
bloating, irritability, worn-out féeling,
lack of ambition, may be loss of flesh or
sallow complexion, kidney trouble in ite
worst form may be stealing upon you.

He Never Knew Temptation.
Rev. Fred Winslow Adams, pas-
tor of St. Andrew’s Methodist Episco-
par church in West Seventy-sixth
street, who recently read from his pul-
pit answers to the question, “What
are the greatest safeguards against
temptation?’ received a reply to his
question from Thomas A. Edison. He
said :
“I cannot answer the question as 1
have never had any experience in such
matters. I have never had time, not
even five minutes, to be tempted to do
anything against the moral law, civil
law or any law whatever. If I were to
hazard a guess as to what young peo-
ple should do to avoid temptation, it
would be to get a job and work at it
so hard that temptation would not
exist for them.”—New York Mail.

Sausage Skins of Silk.
The packing of sausage meat in the
old way has long been an objectionable
proceeding to fastidious persons. It
also has been declared insanitary, so
that many families have tabooed the
link sausage. Now thin silk cases are
being provided, which can be sterilized
to the last degree of sanitation. Being
of chiffonlike texture, they would hard-
ly be noticed if taken into the mouth,
although they can be easily removed
at the table. These thin silk cases can
be supplied at a cost little greater than
the sausage skins now in use and ure
