With "Wizard!ike », swiftness Switzerland mobilized her army and ever since the ancient Helvetian republic has been described as "an island of peace to a sea of war." * \ To those who know her, Switzerland summer represents a master study '" to artistic color combinations; Switz­ erland in winter, however, is a totally " different vision, radiant In dazzling, spotless white. Jack Frost has Jm- ,' printed a Silencing kiss upon the bab- . ibling lips of -every tiny brook and mountain stream, and glistening •heets of the smoothest ice cover also . the limipid blue eyes of ponds and Alpine lakes. While mother earth Is thus wrapped in a wonderful mantle : Of ice and snow, the sky above has ~ assumed the matchless hue -of a pre- ^ Clous sapphire, and the always dell- ,, t£ous mountain air seems to have ac- • qtilred some additional qualities which S rejuvenate and strengthen the whole human system and which Instill into „ every being, young or old, an inexpli- cable feeling of light-hearted happi- v tiess. Very shortly, one finds every­ body interested and engaged in some , i form of winter sport .. '&*' There Is skating, of course, but inany games compete now with this , oldest of sports on the Ice, which has, however, been developed. into an art which charms the onlooker by the :^acefillness of its movements, and . Again astonishes by the cool daring of TTils swift rushes. '< As In summer over the lawn, so flies file tennis ball over the Ice in the game of hockey. Curlers are frantlcal- t sweeping their "stanes" toward the veted goal, and the unlimited dl- %*>rsfty of gymkhana stunts offers con­ stant amusement for the %pl#yers as . j|ell as for the onlookersr '^1 The improved appliances for sport - 'requirements have nearly ousted the <D>|d-fnshIoned herdsmen's sleds which hire now only occasionally used by timid beginners. The up-to-date ve­ hicle is the so-called skeleton, a low. yard-long toboggan, on which the ilder lies flat, steering the craft with hands and feet. Like an arrow, it 4brts up the iced walls of the curves, •lid as the bewildered spectator fear­ fully anticipates an accident, the to- Ifcggan shoots down Into the furrow |thd around a beautifully shaped curve. • f One of the most attractive and cer­ tainly a very social sport is bob- ^lelghtng, IjOng, low, padded tobog­ gans seating as many as six persons are used and under this heavy burden the bobsleigh shoots down Its course With amasing speed.

Strong iron spikes which are driven by a lever into the ice en­ able the leader to stop the vehicle al­ most instantly, but a sudden applica­ tion of these brakes whirls up the ice and snow in clouds. Skiing has taken root to an extraor­ dinary extent In Switzerland; even the poorest youth does not want to do without skis, though they might con­ sist of only a couple of crudely adjust­ ed barrel staves. Thanks to the ski, the boys and girls living on remotely situated farms are now able to attend school every day; their parents are no longer isolated for the best part of the long winter months, and, thanks also to the "wooden wings'of Norway," the mall and newspapers can be delivered regularly. Sport is furthermore made easier by the different mountain railways, which In winter run toboggan trains. Thus one can travel a couple of stations up­ ward and arrive at a startlng point on a mountain road without exertion and without waste of time. Then one descends to the valley on toboggan, ski or skates, or vice versa, goes down first and returns by train to winter quarters. Races, competitions, ski excursions, sleigh drives, fee -carnivals and an equal variety of fascinating indoor en­ tertainments transput the* happy winter visitor into a totally different world where sorrow and care seem to be banished and where every human being seems to realize that the best life after all Is found right next to nature's heart. But Christmas In Switzerland does not only indicate the time when winter sports are beginning to be at their best; it signifies for the native? a pe­ riod full of sacred mystery and the anniversary of many a day particular­ ly specified In ancient legends. In many parts of the country the Yuletide customs and festivities still have their beginning on December 6, which Is the anniversary of St. Nich­ olas. Markets and fairs are then held In villages and cities, and- seeing that the old traditions prescribe for this day the purchasing of presents for the children, it is an event of utmost Im­ portance to all youngsters. In some districts St. Nicholas parades around in person, in an attire very similar to that of our American Santa Claus, gen­ erally carrying a bag filled with ap­ ples. prunes, nuts and homemade cookies which he distributes among the children who have been obedient during the year. The next and Ini modern days the most important festive day of the Wht^le Yule season is Christmas. His­ tory relates that It Was only In the year 354 that the Roman Bishop Li- berius designated December 25 as the birthday of Christ, as the Romans re­ garded this particular day as the birthday of the sun, , and as they were next time we are confronted with some situation that we^thlnk is too great to bear? "Do not lock at God through your difficulties, but look at your diffi­ culties through God." For he is your God, and has pledged himself to meet all your needs. Slake *God the lens, the eyeglass, through which to view your difficulties; and he will enable, you to see them as he sees them. You mayiiot know, as he knows, how the difficulty Is going to be vanquished; but that is not necessary. You can have the mind of Christ in the matter, ing of safety. Life Is full of evenings in which this prayer Is fitting. There are evenings when the skies grow dark; and if we do not have Christ to come in and Abide with us, we shall be uncomforted, while his presence fills our hearts with light. To all of-us will come at last the evening of deat£» It will be very still about the house. The breathing will become shorter and quicker; the end will be near. Then we shall need Christ. If he does not come in to abide with na, it will be unutterably dark for ua. We furthermore desirous of giving more religious importance to two Important ltoman festivals which also fell due in the same period. With thejibjgfH'wtion of Christmas day therXitrlstkindli, de­ scribed "as a lovely angel with wings," gradually, started to take old Santa's plnce In many sections*Qf Switzerland. Christkindli, the Christ Child, is said" to come from the far North and always brings a wonderful Christmas tree, decorated with all the glittering things associated with fairyland and heavily laden with manifold gifts. A pretty legend about the ojigln of the Christmas tree tells us that In the beginning of the ninth century a cer­ tain St. Winfried went to preach Christianity to the people In Scandi­ navia and northern Germany. One Christmas eve these people were gath­ ered round a huge oak to offer .a hu­ man sacrifice, according to the l>ruld priests, but St. Winfried hewed down the great tree, dnd as It fell there ap­ peared In Its place a tall young fir. When St. Winfried saw It he cried to the people that here was come new tree, unstained by blood, which, In pointing to the sky, showed them what they were to worship. "It Is the Christ Child,"' he sal.!. "Carry It to the castle of your chief, and in future, instead of the bloody rites of the Druids, your worship shall bev In your own .homes, with cere­ monies that speak the message of peace and good will to all. A day will come wliei) there shall not be a house In the North wherein on^-tfie birthday of Christ tlhs whoj^ramlly shall not gather together round the fir tree In memory of this dny and to the glory of the only God.*! In many parts of Switzerland the peasants are still fervent believers In mystic powers and supernatural occur­ rences which ancient traditions hav#> reported to be prevalent during Christ­ mastime. And when the happy Christmas days are over, there conies Vew Year's eve, with its jolly social and family gather­ ings and its marvelously effective rlng- Ing-ln of the New Year, when all the church bells throughout the land are lifting up their voices for half an hour. While Christmas of 1910,will hardly be a genernl day of rejol^fng In many a great country In Europe, Switzer­ land Is preparing to celebrate It In her usual way. There will be less laugh­ ter In the valleys and fewer brllllanf festivities In the fashionable winter resorts above the clouds. Brotherly love and sympathy for her bleeding neighbors could not will it otherwise, but Switzerland is grateful to the fate which has so far. in spite of everything, been kind to her, and with gratitude and love she will think and take care of lier soldiers watching at the front, and she will open wide her already generous heart to the many refugees whom she Is sheltering and to the destitute, homeless wanderers passing through the country, to make them feel that Christmas la after all the most wonderful day of the year. the undisturbed assurance of Gjpd him­ self that this thing is omnipotently provided for.

(Prepared by the United,. States Depart­ ment of Agriculture. J - /To be able to render "first aid" to a wounded horse, and to follow up with proper treatment, not only In­ sures a minimum loss of service of the uuimal, but .frequently saves Its life. Horses are liable ordinarily to such wounds as cuts, lacerations, contu­ sions, bruises, punctures and poisoned wounds.. They also may be burned or scalded. Incur troublesome harness or saddle.'galls, or be afflicted with ul­ cers, abscess^,; or fistulas. Ah incised wound is a simple cut made with a sharp body, like a knife, producing merely a division of the tis­ sues. The duller the body the more force Is required, the more tissue de­ stroyed, the greater the time required for healing. In a cut wound the edges are even and definite, while those of a lacerated wound are irregular and torn. Three conditions are present as a result of arc incised wound: (1) Pain, (2Y hemorrhage, (3) gaping of the wound. The first pain is. due to the crushing an<| tearing of the nerve fibers. The Secondary pain Is usually due to the' action bt the air and In­ flammatory processes. When air Is kept from the wound pain ceases soon after the lesion Is produced. Bleeding may be from the arteries, veins, or capillaries. In the latter form of bleed­ ing the blood oozes from the part In drops.- Hemorrhage from the veins is dark red and issues In a steady stream without spurting. In arterial bleeding the blood is bright red and spurts with each heart beat. This lat­ ter varfety of hemorrhage Is the most dangerous, and should be stopped at once before attempting any further treatment. Bleeding from small veins and capillaries ceases in a short time spontaneously, while larger vessels, especially arteries, require some form of treatment to cause complete stop­ page of the hemorrhage. Stopping Hemorrhage. Checking the flow of blood may be accomplished by several methods, such as compress bandages, torsion, hot I^on and ligatures. The application of an Iron at red heat will 'jtfause the Immediate clotting of the blood In the vessels, and this clot Is further sup­ ported by the production of a scab, or crust, over the portion seared. If the Iron_ls at a white heat, the\ tissue is charred, ~whlch makes it brittle and the bleeding is liable to be renewed; If at a black heat, the tissue will stick to the Iron and will pall away from the surface of the wound. X'old wa­ ter and Ice ba^s-qulckly stop^jfoiillary1 bleeding, whileJiot water Is preferable In more excessive hemorrhages. A solution of t^ie chloride of Iron placed on a wound alone or by means of cotton drenched In the liquid pro­ duces a rapid and hand, clot. Tannic acid, alum, acetic acid, alcohol, and oil of turpentine are all more or less ac/ive In this respect. To check bleed- Infg from large vessels compression /nay be adopted. When It Is rapid and dangerous and from an "artery, the ngers may be used for presslhg be- twi^eh the wound and the heart (digital compression), but If from a vein, the pressure should be exerted on the other side of^the vound. Tourniquet may also be used by passing a strap around the part and tightening after placing a pad over the hemorrhage The rubber ligature has now replaced the tourniquet and Is bound tightly around the limb to arrest the bleed­ ing. Tampons, such as cptton, tow, ore oakum, may be packed tightly In the wound and then sewed up. After re­ maining there for 24 or 48 hours they are removed. Bleeding may. sometimes be efsily checked by passing a pin under the vessel and by taking a horsehair and forming a flgiire 8 by running It above and below the pin, thus causing pres­ sure on the vessel. Torsion Is the twisting of the blood vessel until the walls come together and form a bar­ rier to the flow of blood. It may be accomplished by. the Angers, forceps, or by running a pin through the ves­ sel, turning several times, and then running the point into the tissue to keep it in<a fixed position. Ligation Is another method for stop­ ping a hemorrhage. The blood vessel should be seized with the artery for­ ceps, a clean thread of silk passed around it, and tied about one-half Inch from Its end. The silk should be ster­ ilized by placing it In oik antiseptic solution, so as not to impede the heal­ ing process or cause blood-poisoning or lockjaw, which often follows the ligation of a vein with unsterllized material. Sometimes It will be Im­ possible to reach the bleeding vessel, so It is necessary to pass the ligature around a mass of tissue which in­ cludes the blood vessel- Ligation Is the most useful method of arresting hemorrhage, since It disturbs healing least and gives the greatest security against secondary hemorrhage. \ „ After the bleeding has been con­ trolled and all forelgq, bodies removed from the wound, the gaping of the vound is noticeable. It is caused by tiie contraction of the muscles and elastic fibers, and Its degree deperias on the extent, direction and nature of the cut. This gaping will hinder the healing process so that it must be overcome by bringing the edges .to­ gether By some sort of sutures or pins or by a bandage applied from below upward. As suture material, ordinary cotton thread is good/ if well sterilized, as Is also horsehair, catgut, silk and various kinds of wire. If the suture * Is made too tight, the subsequent swelling may causf the stitch to tear out. In order to make a firm suture, the depth of,,the stitch wonud. ̂ The deeper the suture the more tiss&e is embraced and the fe er the slumber of stitches required. J Pfocess of Healing, . In tljpse cases where perfelt stop­ page of bleeding, perfect joming of the edges of the wound, ancf perfect cleanliness are obtained,, healing oc­ curs rapidly; without the formation of granulations, pus or proud flesh, by what Is termed first intention. s If wounds do not heal in tros manner they will gap somewhat and become warm and painful.^ Healing then oc­ curs by granulation or with suppura­ tion, which Is termed healing by sec­ ond Intention. The sides of the wound become covWed with granula­ tion tissue which1 may fill the wound and sometimes overlap the lip*, form­ ing a fungoid growth called proud flesh. Under favorable conditions the edges of the wound appear tojirow to­ gether bjf the^end of the first week, and the Whole surface gradually be­ comes dry,-and flnaHjr cojrered^ with pigmented skin; when Ithe^wound is healed. AH antiseptics are not equally de­ structive, and some germs are more susceptible to one antiseptic than to another. lt The most Important are (1) bichloride of mercury, which is to be preferred on horses. It becomes weak­ ened in its action if placed in a wood- en pall or on an oily or greasy sur­ face. It is used In the strength of 1 part of bichloride to 1.000 to 5,000 parts of water, according to the deli­ cacy of the tissue to which it Is ap­ plied. (2) Carbolic -acid In from 2 to 5 per cent solitfipp Is used /on In­ fected wounds ana for cleaning ^in­ struments', dressings and sponges: !* ugjtes well with oil and is preferred to the bichloride on a greasy surface A 5 per cent solution In oil Is-often used under the name of carbolized oil. (3) Aluminum- acetate Is a if efficient and cheap antiseptic, and Is composed, of 1 part alum and 5 . parts ace­ tate of lead, mixed In 20 parts of wa­ ter. (4) Boric acid Is good, in a 2 to 4 pei; cent solution, to cleanse wounds and wash eyes. Compound crpsol may be used In a 1 to 3 per cent solution In water. " Iodoform acts as an nn<j* dyne, stimulates granulation and checks wound secretion, A very effi­ cacious and Inexpensive powder Is made by taking 5 parts of iodoform 95 parts of sugar, making what is ed iodoform suga$ Tannic acid Is a useful drug in tne treatment, of wounds, as It arrests hemorrhage, checks secretion 4|k1 favors the for­ mation of a scab. A mixture of 1 part tannic acid and S parts Iodo­ form is good In suppurating wounds, Iodol, white* sugar, ground and roast­ ed coffee and powdered charcoal are all used as protectlves and absorbents on suppurating surfaces. More de­ pends on the care, and the method of application of the drug thafc ort ttie drug Itself. " On aseptic wounds use only those antiseptics that do not irritate the tis­ sue.- If care Is used In the application of the antiseptic, cori-oslve sublimate or carbolic add Is to be recommended./ In order to keep air from the wound and to absorb all wound secretions rapidly, a dressing should be applied" If the wound Is aseptic, the dressing should be likewise, such as sterilized cotton gauze, oakum of tow. This dressing should be applied with uni­ form pressure at all times and se­ cured by,, a bandage. Allow 4£r to re­ main for a week or t^n days If the wound Is aseptic or If the dressing does not become loose or misplaced or become drenched with secretions from the wound, or If pain, fever or loss ,»f appetite does not develop. The dress­ ing should then be removed, the wound treated antiseptically, and a sterilised dressing applied. Healing Under a Scab. This often occurs In small superfi­ cial wounds that have been kept asep­ tic. In order that a scab may form, the wound must not gap, secrete free­ ly or become Infected with gerips. The formation of scab Is favored by astripgents or styptics, such as tnnnlc acid, iodoform and 5 per cent solution of zinc chloride. In case of fistulous withers, open joints or other large, hollow wounds that cannot be dressed, antisepsis may be obtained by warm- w^ater Irrigation, with or without an antiseptic fluid. It should continue day and night, and never be Interrupt ed for more than eight hours, for germs will then) have gained headway and will be difficult to remoVe. Fonr or five days of irrigation will be suf­ ficient, for granulations will then have formed and pus will remain on th« outside if it forms." The, following rules efor the treat­ ment of wounds should be followed: (1) See that the wound is clean, re­ moving all foreign bodies, For this purpose,* use a clean finger rather than a probe. (2) All hemorrhage should be .arrested before closing the wound. (3) Antiseptics should "only, be used when it Is suspected that the wound Is Infected. (4) When pus Is present treat without, closing the wound. This may be accomplished by drainage ()tubes, absorbent dress­ ings or continuous Irrigations. f&A- I'rotect ®e wound against Infection while- healing. * HIGH COST OF LIVING s Is a serious matter with h& keepers a? food priced are constantly going up.--; To overcome this, cut -out the high priced meat dishes and serve your family ruyte Skinner's Macaroni and Spaghetti/ the cheapest, most de­ licious and most nutritious of ail foods.
