PHILOSOPHY AND PLASTERS

For the most part mankind haslearned to accept the varied

of life In a philosophical spiritPut there always will be people whoforgetting the Inspired adage which

recites that sufficient unto the dar Is

the evil thereot continually lookahead for trouble The other day abig snake In the Bronx zoo was foundt be suffering from bronchitis Theordinary remedies were given and inaddition the reptiles throat was wrap-

ped with adhesive plaster for a dis-

tance of six feot the unusual spacebeing covered perhaps because it isdifficult to tell where a snakes throatends and the rest of him begins Andnow correspondent writes-

to his paper and asks how thedoctor and tho attendants propose toremove the plaster It Is possible thatthis Inquiring person has had troublewith plasters and knows how unpleas-

ant it is suddenly to separate thestickers from the human skin Butwhy worry about the snake Whylook for trouble even before the plaster begins to draw When tho prop-

er time comes and the usefulness ofv the big muffler Is ended It is possible

the cobra will slough the plasters asho might his skin

woman can do as she pleasesAt least she generally does Well whynot Who makes tho home EveryIdeal home owes Its greatest charmsto womans part in its making Manis aware of that and tho American-

A while ago BI

young St Loulsanbecame embroiled-In an argument

with another younth There was afight Young Lawles was stabbed Inthe heart He was placed In an automobile and brought several miles to ahospital This took minutes ami manyprecious ones When tho patient wasfinally placed on the operating tableho was still conscious So startling-was the nature of the wound that theoldest internes paled when they sawthe extent of tho injury Twelvestitches were required to close thegash through the heart muscles Thepatient lived He was living when thphospital authorities hoard from himlast and that was but a short timesince His chance of Ufo when hewas brought into the hospital wereless than nothing l was a notablecase of the fooling of death

Men are hard to kill at times Lit-

tle Andrew Cerolnto was accidentally

shot through tho head There was nodoubt that the ball had penetratedthe brain tissue No one expected thochild to live Ten deathwould have been more than certainBut surgery and especially brain sur-

gery has made long leaps In that timeThese leaps have been forward Whendeath did not ensue the eager Internes saw a chance to save a lifeThey did Little Andrew Cerolntowas discharged from the hospital arow days ago He was apparently onthe road to a complete recovery fn

Thirtythree years was once the av-

erage life of man Wars famines anapestilences helped to cut down theduration of mans span No one knowsnow Just how long tho average lifeIs any more It is changing all thetime by getting longer

Death used to reach out throughappendicitis and claim his victims Inspite of the best efforts of manwho fought back at him with thescalpel There was something wrongThis was remedied and the death ratesank and continues to sink The goodsurgeon has fooled death so otten inappendicitis easels that it Is no longerlooked upon as a particularly sorlpuToperation

Before that time in tho days whenthe war hospitals were deadly beyondtho telling an operation of any sortin one of these places was graveThey bad not learned as yet how toround up slay and utterly destroy thepus germs that were creeping everywhere over the unsterillzed beds andplanking clinging to the clothing ofthe surgeon and floating In tho hos-pital atmosphere They do not existany more They are guarded againstand watched by every attendant op-
