FRANCE NAMES
PEACE TERMS
PROVINCE OF ALSACE AND
LORRAINE MIST BE GIVEN
BY GERMANY
PARIS. Dec. 11—That France is
not ready to make peace is evident
fcy the statement made in an address
to a large crowd assembled a few
days ago in memory of the dead of
the war of 1870. Mr. Thomas,
French Secretary of war said in
part:
There will be no peace until our
Alsace and Lorraine are definitely
re-established as part of the French
unity.
“There will be no peace until our
unfortunate brothers of Belgium
and Serbia are assured of recover
ing their homes in complete secur
ity and independence.
"There will be no peace until
German imperialism and Prussian
militarism are put beyond the pos
sibility of resurrection.
“There will be no peace until a
system of right, founded upon the
victorious union of the allies, and
supported by the free adherence of
neutrals, has abolished forever the
violence of war.
“Whatever may be the sacrifices
France, united, will go steadily for
ward to accomplish this end. Today,
before the terrible obstacle which
confronts them, justice and liberty
have only one road—that which our
ration in arms opens to them, with
the machine gun and cannon.”
The declaration of M. Thomas de
rives added significance from the
fact that in addition to his connec
tion with the cabinet he is one of
the leaders of the Socialist party.

THE VALUE OF PUBLIC
HEALTH EPIGRAMS
It has been mentioned as an in
teresting fact that the sucre?* of
campaigns for public health from
time to time have been largely due
to the facility of leaders as putting
their thoughts into epigrams.
Franklin was z pioneer with his
“Public health is public wealth.”
Disraeli coined the phrase, “The
care of the public is the first duty
of a statesman.” And Gladstone
said: “In the health of the people
hes the strength of the nation.”
Our modern “Swat the fly” ar.d
“Bat the rat,” are briefly character
istic of the time and probably more
effective than their more elegant
predecessors.
The latest claimant to popular
favor comes from Gov. Cars of
Iowa, “The health and happiness of
the people are paramount to every
issue.” This epigram has been
done into a button to be carried ir.
the lapels of thousands of lowans—
and maybe other states too.
SCHOOL NOTES
The Parent-Teachers Association
held its regular meeting Wednes- i
day evening.
The Christmas vacation has now f
teen definitely decided upon and |
there will be no school the two;
days preceding Christmas nor the j
week following, or from December;
£2 to January 3. This report Ssj
reliable and plans for the holidays1
may be made accordingly.
The school board recently dec id
ed that the open building, now used
as a girls play room, should be
boarded up, lighted, and otherwise
i fitted cut for a gymnasium. Basket
ball, hand ball, and other games
will be provided for both boys and
girls. All carpenter work neces
sary for these improvements will
be done by the boys of the differ
ent grades, under proper instruc
tion. This will give practical work
in manual training, which the school
untfl now, has been unable to of
fer this year.
Rose Bartlett, of Juneau, was en
rolled in the second grade this
week.
Tuesday afternoon the pupils of
the whole school gathered at tin
back of the building and stood
still and breathless, while a panoT
nma picture was taken.

GOLD USED FOR INFECTED
WOUNDS
Injections of colloidal gold are
being used in France with great
success in the treatment of the in
fected wounds which have been so
plentiful in the recent war. Ac
cording to a recent number of the
Revue Scientifique, MM. Cuneo and
Lolland have thus treated a series
of wounds in which the phenomena
of infection persisted after surgical
treatment.
The gold was administered by the
intravenous method (2 or 3 cubic
centimeters) by intramusclar punc
ture (up to 50 cubic centimeters!.
or even by injections in the peri
pheral xone of the infected region.
The gold is said to give the best
results in large traumatisms of the
limbs, with infection by anaerobic
species (septic vfbrions and espec
ially perfringens). The effects of
the treatment are less satisfactory
in cases of pyogenic infection- In
cases of wounds penetrating the ab
domen, the authors have success
fully employed colloidal gold as a
preventative of infection.
Intravenous injection is formally
indicated when it is desirable to ob
tain quick action and when the sub
ject is in a state of hypertension.
On the contrary, when the subject
is depressed and in a state of hypo
tension, the intramuscular method
is preferable.
