THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1933 Green Ghost by Stuart Martin j hears padding "Then this man was d< Foster; and the mulatto raised his head slowly. • "Mistah Barron, he tole me dis man had died; but before he died he bin workin' wid papaloys and mama-loys to bring some fierce curse on yo' 'fadder. He thought de Voudoo folks had sent de ghost--" "Stuff and nonsense. It was merely brain fag and a run-down constitution," exclaimed Foster. He was about to say more to the same effect, but he caught the glare in the mulatto's single eye and he stopped. "I thought so too, at first," sumed Maud Barron. "He was bordering on a collapse, but I saw that he took things quietly, and the doctor gave him medicine to calm him, So that I had every hope of his recovery. I wanted him to go to England to consult a specialist, but he did not go until business compelled him. That was only a month or so ago." "Why didn't you insist on the appointment of someone to relieve him of business? He was bound to "He did. There was a young mar who had been recommended to him and he was appointed. Hughes is his name --William Hughes. H« came out here in the boat that followed our's, and he is here now. He is due back to this house within the next few hours." "Where has he been during the last few days?" "In the interior, seeing after the plantations. But let me get on with my story. I thought that the appointment of this assistant would give father time to rest, but it did not. He seemed more worried than ever, and his assistant, I fancy, has not turned out the efficient man he was pictured to be. Anyway, my father's nerves have become worse since he came here. Did you notice any nervousness about him when we came out with you on your last trip. Dr. Foster." "I certainly thought he v working, and I took the liberty of, advising him to go slowly. I remember he once broached the matter of ghosts, but I didn't think it was a healthy subject for him just then, and turned the conversation." "Ah, that was his terrible bete noir. Only a week ago he told evening that he was confident that he was being pursued by this ghost of his late enemy. Nothing would persuade him otherwise. And that same night I was awakened by cry from my father's room, study. I was in the hall at the time, and I rushed up. He was sitting the chair in which we found him tonight; in the same position, with a look of the utmost horror on his face. It took me "a long time to restore him to calmness and quietness. He told me that he had again seen this ghostly face--the green ghost, as he called it. He said it had come to his open window, glaring at him revengefully and fiendishly. And he believed that he was being pursued by it." She covered her face with hei hands for a moment before proceeding. "Of course, I thought that his nerves were wrong again, but he refused to call in a doctor. It was the police, he said, that he wanted, and it was then he mentioned the 1 of One-eyed Uttock. He said life." "Who says he did?" cried Foster, hoping to shield her from the thought but she waved his protection aside. "It did not require the doctor to say so. I saw it in his face and I saw the revolver lying on my father's feet. But it cannot be true. I am sure he did not do that. He had only just been talking to me, an hour or two previously, about the future, and plai He He had "written to Harry--Captain Swathling--asking him to call when he came t0 England. Captain Swathling is on a long voyage to the East just now. You know? There is something behind this all that I cannot fathom. You tw0 have -seen the ghost near my window. Why should it come now that he is dead? Why should it come to him at all? Is it true that the terrible religion of Voudooism is working a spell?" She bent forward towards the latto detective and he next question rang out- in trembling eager accents. "You are a native. You are a detective. You know the native mind and the native secrets. You know that Voudooism is never fully understood by whites and that the priests are believed to have strange, weird powers. Is it possible that some demon of the underworld has been raised haunt us? Can .such thing be?"

Hot water heads the lisl Canada's Floral Regions :ory, there may be ■able diffidences of opinion as to the various floral regions which may be recognized. Taking into account the topography, climate, and present distribution of plants, there are, at any rate, six well-defined floral areas, namely, Arctic, Northern, Eastern, Southern, Prair-' and Western, or Cordilleran. With sgard to the Arctic region, while the growing season is short and the lower strata of the soil remains frozen, it is a mistake to suppose that this area is devoid of plant life. As a matter of fact, the colours of the Arctic flowers, such as the beautiful blue lupins, azaleas, rhododendrons, and Arctic primroses, are deeper than elsewhere. Like the Other floral areas, the Arctic has plants that are not found outside its own district, just as in the Southern area there are 47 kinds of plants which do not occur in any other part of Canada. Although only three species of trees appear to be confined to the prairies (the large - leaved cottonwood, narrow - leaved cotton-wood, and prairie ash), the prairie region can boast of 267 species characteristic plants which do grow outside the great plains, while in the eastern region the species of plants found in that area alone are too numerous to enumerate. As there is a certain amount of overlapping of the floras of any two adjacent areas, the boundaries of the various regions are not to be defined igidly. nized in the light of open failure of many marriage partnerships. Clergy, social workers and psychiatrists have come forward to meet this need. - Educators are slowly but surely joining in with plans for marriage instruction and advice. Domestic relation courts and socially minded judges are endeavoring to reduce the number of broken homes. "All this is of value when the counsel given is wise, sympathetic and in conformity with the best in scientific, social and religious advance," asserted Dr. Parker. "There is, however, some part of the marriage counsel which only the physician with scientific knowledge and human x. .dertanding ran give most effectively. Analyses of marital difficulties show that mental or educational, as well as physical maladjustments are potent factors in family life.

A child may trip over the eiectrical attachment of a coffee percolator and spill the boiling contents. This accident sounds very simple, but may result in many months of illness or death. A burn by means ol fire is less common than that from hot fluids, but as a rule is much more serious. Playing with matches is the usual history in such cases.

"Who was this doctor?" i "He has been here tonight." "Go on." "There is little else to tell. A second time I heard my father cry out when he was in his study. Last night was the third time.

The truest concept of the newspaper is that it is the composite expression of a group of talented men and women, expently translating what is said and done in the vital, pulsating world, day by day describing the passing pageant, not as an entertaining show, but for the purpose of giving to men and women a sound basis of information on which to base tiheir private and political action. setting for such incidents is not pre- If the burn is a severe one, the shock may sufficient to imperil life. In such cases attention should be paid only to its treatment. This sists in keeping the patient warm, in ensuring rest by means of strong datives, and in giving plenty of fluids. If the shock is extremely serious, it is necessary to force fluids by gr ing them into a vein. Blood of the same type as that of the patient may also be given as a transfusion. The latter is the best fluid in severe Death following burns is most often due to poisons absorbed from the affected area. This is , called "burn Toxaemia."

Nausea is an early symptom, and iting occurs soon. The temperature rises and in large burns some of the greatest elevations which are ever recorded in any disease, are present. If this combination of symtoms progresses, a fatality results. Because it is beleived that the p; tient is suffering from poisons al sorbed from the affected part, met! ods of treatment have been devised which retain in this area those products which are absorbed and which give rise to the signs of poisoning. Dr. Davidson of Detroit, first introduced th use of Tannic acid in the treatment of burns for this reason. taction takes place between it and the tissue injured by the burn that the toxic products of the area i not absorbed so rapidly or In as great an amount. Other things than Tannic acid have been tried, but the latter has proved t0 be most satisfactory. She goes on to say that "analysis of handwriting is based upon t" principle that the motions whi govern the writing instrument a subject to the same nervous a psychic impulses, regulations and i hibitions as other motor activities' Some time ago, Madame Roman was able to avert a miscarriage of justice in her native Hungary, through examining some writing. A theft was committed in-'a certain organization, and one of the employees was arrested on the charge of committing the crime. Madame Roman examined various specimens of handwriting obtained from different members of the organization, and on examining that of the man arrested, stated that "he is an upright man, and could not have committed this crime". Coming to the writing of another member, a held in high regard by his fel- Ws, and who pected, she g5 writing of a person I should trust". Acting on this information, thf authorities made further investigations and were able to obtain a confession from the second man, and he innocent man was released. Madame Roman gave some rather interesting facts in regard to graph- ology. She stated that a manias _ over-emphasises his letters, spaces his words badly, uses many exclamation marks and underlining^.

A man was boasting to a neighbor who lived in the same large tenement that he had kissed every woman in the building except one. The neighbor, boiling with jealousy went straight home and reported the story t0 his wife, saying, with a suspiciously inquiring glance: "I wonder, Maggie, wha the woman is that the rascal hasna' kissed?" "Oh," was the reply, "I suppose it will be that stuck-up Mrs. Macintosh the third floor!" change, which, they declare will crease the population, lessen taxation in new homes required and double the working staffs of our industries. It is pointed out by heads of our manufacturing firms that the name Gravenhurst is too closely connected with Sanitarium and that outside business interests resent thi comparison to such an extent that their salesmen are continually confronted with criticism of a very unpleasant nature. It has also been stated that wealthy people desirous of building expensive homes in this beautiful locality, unsurpassed on the continent, are giving the town the "go-bye" simply because the name does not appeal to them. One of our readers has suggested that the name of this town be changed to Port Muskoka. -- Gravenhurst Banner. Tannic acid be used more (e.g. Actan, These may be store.

The pain disappears pidly, and if the burn is not a deep one, healing may take place under the Tannic coating, without nec ing any further dressings. Previous to its application the surface should be cleansed alnd all blisters opened and free tags of skin removed. This is not as painful a process as it sounds. Morphine may be given before the "cleaning up" is undertaken. It is performed by wiping the area firmly with dry gauze or gauze moistened with a cleansing solution such line. the use of Tannic acid is not able to save the lives of all.

When the skin has been completely killed, complete healing will not take place benath the Tannic acid covering. By the separation of this from the tissue beneath, an ulcer is formed. The raw area invariably has some infection associated with it. If this infection is severe, the patient may die. During this stage whe nthe Tannic acid coating has been removed, an ulcer is present, antiseptic dressings are applied. Constantly repeated dressings long period of time, often demoralize a patient. When the raw area is a small one, healing can take by growth of the skin from the When the area is a large one, healing is hastened by means of skin grafting of different types. In every case scarring is left, and may be a prominent feature. The contracture of scar tissue may cause deformity and limitation of motion of joints. This type of deformity and limitation of motion can best be overcome by resorting to plastic surgery. The final stage of repair and contracture following a deep burn is often a prolonged one. j Women Prohibited From Working Underground GENEVA,--The International Labor Conference has unaminously adopted an agreement prohibiting women from working underground in i w Pipe Smokers! fill up with "GOLDEN VIRGINIA" and enjoy a really good smoke!
