WATER P.EDS FOIi \VOf.M»Kl>
Aa entirely new and satisfactory
use of water in the treatment of
sh»ll-to.-u victims from the front,
hag been discovered recently at the
famous open air military hospital
located at Cambridge. England,
where a ward, in. which patients1
sleep on inflated rubber mattresses
half-submerged in tubs filled with
warm water, is now installed.
It was found that many of the j
patients arriving at the hospital,
had such terrible wounds that the}
were unaole to bear the pain, and
as the constant administration of
opiates retarded their progress, it
was decided by Colonel Griffiths
to provide a bath where the bad
cases could spend their entire time
In the water. The water, which
is kept flowing through the tub,
is maintained at a temperature of
100 degrets. By a system of slings
the patiia* lies on a rubber mat
tress with his entire body under
water, only his head saowiug above
the level of the bath. The casual j
observer passing thvough the i
ward would never know the patients
were in a tub. The head is in!
Bight occupying an ordinary pillow
and the figure seems to be cov
ered by the conventional bundled
blanket. However, when the flap
is opened the body is seen to be
submerged in water, but lying on
a rubier mattress, which is pro
nounced absolutely comfortable by
the patients. One patient who-je
thigh had been ripped away b;. a
shell, has been iu a tub continu
ously for six weeks. Before he
was placed in the tub he said he
feared that ho was going insane
from the pain, but during his so
journ in the water he had not felt,
anything worse than the usual dis
comfort from long confinement iu
bed.—WhitehoTSo star.
ICE WORMS THRIVING
ON" COED SNAl*
Sourdoughs declaro that thuie is
no lou<v>r any danger oi the total
e-xtinc'iwi of the ice worms in Al
aska.
The previous two winters proved
rather aovert» for the ice worms
anii the blue glacier bear, and
wheq. te hot spell last summer
caused the glaciers to recede far
ther tli&n ever known betoro there
was a fear expressted for both
habitat ta ot the glacial ice.
Thomas Ashby, George Burford,
Judge States, the ".Xlalaniute Kid,"
"Bull Con Jim," "Red-Eyed Bill,"
and a few other oid timers in dis
cussing- the matter yesterday de
cided taat there ought to be a
gcod crop of ice worms this 'win
ter. The weather conditions dur
ing the past week or so have been
Ideal for' them. The Taku wind,
especially, which seems to reach
th» ;Yery marrow of individuals,
fairly fattens ice worms.
"While it is true no special use
has been found for ice worms, it
would be a pity to see them en
tirely »xterminated from the fact
that they are peculiarly an Al
askan product. They are useful
fcr the tourist business, if nothing
else.—Juneau Dispatch.

YUKONER WOULD SOLVE PROB
LEM OF WINTER MAIL
Frank Pinder who left Yukoa
with tho Bovle contingent, writes
to a Dawson friend and the fol
lowing is an extract from hla let
ter:
"I leff the Canadians and have
a comm^sion in tho Royal Flying
Corps. I have Just gotten through
thrni' exams, and have two more to
pass before I get to be a first lieu
tenant. I am only B0cond now.
"The work is great. I get about
three hours flying in the day, and
the rest of the time I work with
the wireless and on engines. 1
have about three weeks more
training acd then go over to
France. T have passed the Roy
al Acto Club in flying and have
its certificate. I have flown six
different types of machines in all
kiuda of weather and have done
cross country flying. It is a fine
sport and I could fly from Dawson
to Whitehorse in seveoi hoirrs
easily. After the war we 'will
have to get a machine and carry
the nniJ They cost only [about
$6,000, and we could make three
trips a week."
A Reminder.
"I almost wish we hadu't named our
boy. William. Everybody calls him
Bill, and 1 just bate that name."
"Yes, I suppose It Is rather annoying
to be reminded of your debts."—New
