SECRET OfflEBS
UNIFORMED MEN
Would Readilv Go to the
Front at the Call of
Their Country.
MANY WELL DRiLLED MEN
Would be Found Ready for the Ser
vice in the Event of a Call
to Arms.
War talk has been found everywhere to
day and interest in the outcome of the
next few days is at fever heat. The people
now realize that nothing short of a mir
acle can prevent war.
The soldiers are waiting for orders to
go to the front and those who have here
tofore said that was was not probable,
have now turned the other way and say
that it is inevitable.
Ex-Congressman Blount, w’ho has al
ways been considered one of the most con
servative of men, but whose opinion is
worth much on account of his experience,
is quoted as saying that in his opinion war
cannot be avoided.
It is almost o foregone conclusion that
the volunteer forces of the state will be
called out and that at an early date.
Speaking of the raising of troops in this
country, a prominent member of a secret
ordar said today:
“The uniformed orders of secret socie
ties will be of untold advantage in case of
war.
“Thousands of men, well drilled in foot
movements, could be put Into the field at
a moment’s notice. These could learn the
manual of arms in a short time and be
first-class soldiers.
“The Uniformed Rank of Knights of
Pythias will volunteer immediately after
the militia, or on the second call.
“I shall volunteer as soon as the call
is made. We will not go as members of
the order, but as individuals, but will, of
course, keep together as much as possi
ble.
“The great advantage this country would
have over even Germany is in the intelli
gence of her soldiers. They would learn
quicker, and experience has shown that
the more intelligent the man the braver
soldier he makes.”
J SPRAINS.
Why They Arc So Severe and How They
Should Bo Treated.
It is commonly said that a sprained
joint is worse than a broken bone, and
this is often true, for in a severe sprain
the injury is really greater than in
simple fracture. The ankle is perhaps
the most frequently sprained of all the
joints, though the knee, elbow and
wrist are also very liable to be injured,
in falls especially.
A sprain of a joint varies greatly in
severity. It may consist of a simple
wrench, without the tearing of any oi
the ligaments, or it may boa more ex
tensive injury, stopping just short of a
dislocation.
In a moderately severe case one or
more of the ligaments ot the joint, will
be torn slightly, or possibly completely
across. The membrane beneath the lig
aments, which retains the lubricating
fluid ot the joint, will be ruptured, per
mitting the escape of more or less of
this fluid into the parts about, and giv
ing rise sometimes to a considerable
swelling. This swelling maybe increas
ed also by an effusion of fluid into the
joint, especially if iniainimation sits in,
and finally there is usually a slight or
even sometimes a quite pronounced es
. cape of blood into the tissues, and this,
gradually working to the suriace, ap
pears as a black and blue stain.
In more severe eases the tendons pass
ing over the joint and attaching the
muscles which move it to the bones may
suffer considerable damage, or one of
them may be broken or torn from its at
tachment. bringing with it a sliver of
bone. Where so much harm has bten
done to all the parts —bones, ligaments,
tendons ami muscles —it is easy to un
derstand that much pain will result and
that the cure will ba tedious.
In the treatment of a sprain the first
thing to be aimed at is to relieve pain
and prevent inflammation, then to favor
healing of the torn structures, and after
that to restore the use of the limb.
The first of these objects is accom
plished by absolute rest of the injured
part, the limb being raised, and by lead
ind opium wash, a spirit lotion, or such
other local applications as the physician
may prescribe. Swelling is prevented iu
i measure and pain is sometimes re
lieved by firm bandaging with a flan
nel bandage.
When the swelling, heat and pain
ore gone, the limb should not be used
■oo soon, but should be brought gradu
ally back to health by cold douching,
iry rubbing in a direction toward the
x)dy and passive motion. It is some
times necessary in very severe cases to
:reat the sprain by means of splints, ex
actly as if it were a fracture or disloca
tion.—Youth’s Companion.
MUZZLED DUCKS.
Wot Because They Might Bite, but to Si
lence Their Quacking.
A baggage man on the Santa Fe who
runs into Kansas City from out in the
western part of Kansas has lost lots of
Bleep. It is doubtful if he can ever catch
up with it. He leaves Hutchinson at
night and reaches Kansas City in the
morning. Nearly every night he brings
in his car two or three coops of live do-
Vmestio ducks. During the night, when
he has no baggage to deliver at small
ftationSt it has been his habit and privi-
lege to he down on an improvised couch
and doze. With the advent of the ducks
the dozing stopped. The almost constant
quacking of the ducks, who could not
understand their strange environment,
■ would not permit of slot p.
For many nights as be lay awake be
i planned relief. He thought oi strangling
i the ducks or chloroforming them. But
neither expedient seemed good. One
nigut a bright idea came to him. After
he bad rot it into execution the ducks
were silent.
The next night he had two coops of
unusually vociferous ducks. As scon as
it came time for sleep be wrenched a
slat from olio of the coops, reached in
and pulled or.t a duck. From his pocket
he took a smull rubber band, which he
slipped over the duck’s Lili just back ot
i the nostrils. The duck tried to quack,
but the rubber band, while it stretched
a little, would not permit the duck to
’ open its Lili far enough to use its
tongue. Only a murmur came from it.
One by cue the ducks wore muzzled,
and the baggage man levied comforta
bly.
The commission men were surprised
next mcrnii.g when tlmy received a lot
! of ducks with rubber bauds around
their bills, and when the bunds were re
, moved the shouts of protest from the
ducks were deafening.—Kansas City
Star.
The Origi.ial Navel Orange Tree.
Over in the orangery atthp agricultural
department is the p trvi t tree of ail the
na'.cl oranges in the Coiled States. Every
orchard ci navel oranges in Florida, Lou
isiana. Colorado, Arizona and California
came from it. And tfce shipments of this
kind of fruit from California alone have
reached 10,000 carloads a year. This par
ticular tree, which is still bearing, camo
from Bahia, Brazil, but is st. id to he a
native of southern China. William Saun
ders, the horticulturist of the department,
having heard that they bail a seedless
orange in Brazil, sent down for a plant.
When it came it was carefully nurtured
and grew with surprising vigor. The sec
ond year, when Mr. Saunders was on his
way to the agricultural department one
morning he picked up in the gutter back
of the wholesale fruit market on Louisiana
avenue a pocketful of ordinary decayed
oranges. Be carried them to his room,
extracted the seeds and planted them in
the hothouse. They produced a bunch of
thrifty little plants, upon which he graft
ed buds from tl.e Brazilian tree and after
ward sent them to friends in California
and Florida who were engaged in the
orange business. Mr. Saunders thinks
that the quality of the navel orange is de
teriorating and that there are better grades
of fruit.—Chicago Record.
Connecticut Newspapers.
Ono Connecticut newspaper man has a
way of speaking the names of papers in an
abbreviated style—the Meriden Rep and
the Middletown Trib, for instance. Fol
lowed out, this would lead to some amus
ing abbreviations. There would be the
Norwich Bull and the Norwich Wreck, the
New’ Haven Pal, the Waterbury Am, the
New Haven Jeer and Cco, the New Britain
Her, the Bridgeport Tell, the Hartford
Coor and the Ansonia Scent. Happily
The Day is exempt. —New Londay Day.

I don’t want you to think that I refuse to
paint small roofs. I paint all sizes, sorts

days for my pay. I don’t paint shingle
roofs, but I do paint gutters, valleys, etc.
As I will be very busy on my arrival in

call and see you about your roof. I can fix
it so that it won’t leak and it will stay
