RECORD
FEBRUARY 15TH, 1917
Colonel John A. Cooper, comman-
ding officer of the 198th, Toronto
Battalion the Canadian Buffs' ,was
the guest of honor on Friday evening
last at a gathering at the. National
Club, Toronto, of the Past Presidents
of the Club.It is said that Colonel
Cooper is not only a past president of
the club but was instrumental in its
foundation and had always shown the
keenest interest in its welfare, and
for this reason his associates met to
do him honor on the eve of his depar-
ture with hie battalion for overseas.
The Clinton Ladies' Hockey Team
met their first defeat at Stratford on
Tuesday evening last, when, after a
spirited game in which the puck was
kept pretty well around the opposi
tion goal all evening and the score up
to the last ten minutes stood) 2-2, the
hone team made three swift goals
and the game was over. A return
match will be played' in the Clinton
rink en Tuesday evening. Two- of
the players have left town but their
places have been filled.
Mr. W. E. Watts received a cable
Salt Pork Packs Stop
Bleeding, Says Doctor
Dr. Alfred Jared .Cone of Wash-
ington university school of medicine
in St. Louis reported recently what
sounded like an old country nos-
trum, but wasn't: That simple salt
pork packs are "invaluable" in con-
trolling hemorrhage.
In cases of severe nosebleed,
Whether after operation or from dis-
ease, plugs of salt pork in the nose,
said Dr. Cone, are far more effec-
tive than ordinary gauze packs.., "In
many instances," he continued,
"salt pork promptly stopped bleed-
ing after other methods had failed
It seems to have the property
of .preventing recurrence . I have
used it in controlling violent hemor-
rhage occurring with the, onset of
meaples, rheumatic fever, and ty-
phoid fever, and during the third
stage of labor.
"Salt pork," he continued, is
cheap, common, and easily ob-
tained. It keeps well and is handy
to use. It is superior to the usual
nasal pack in that it is easier to
introduce, and it is more comfort-
able for the patient, whose only
complaint is that the salt causes
smarting for a few minutes ..
Salt pork is easily kept in brine and
does not disintegrate. Pork fat does
not harbor the parasites (trichinae)
that might be present in muscle."
Little Devil
Far from being an enthusiastic
inhabitant of fire, as the ancients
believed, the salamander must be
moist; dies if it is even thoroughly
dried out. Though no fire-eater, the
lizard -like little creature is, how-
ever, something of a devil. He
secretes in his skin a milky poison
which causes most of his potential
, enemies to leave hint severely
alone. This skin poison is thought
to be harmless to man.
Recently a group of Stanford uni-
versity scientists announced that
they had found a far more virulent
poison in a species of salamander,
"Triturus torosus," which is abun-
dant in California. The venom oc-
curs in the egg yolk, in embryos
,which have not finished .eating the
yolk, and in egg -carrying adult fe-
males, When Some • of this poison
was injected into a cat, the cat lost
muscular co-ordination, collapsed,
went into convulsion, suffered re-
spiratory paralysis, died in 20 min-
utes. Quantitative tests showed that
one gram (one twenty-eighth of an
ounce) of Triturus poison is enough
to kill 75,000 mice or 600 monkeys
or (presumably) 21 grown men.

Climate Puzzles Tourists
Mexico Cfty, America's coolest
capital this summer,, is a perpetual
climate enigma to the average tour-
ist. Too far south to be cold, yet
too high in the air to be hot, Mexico
City lives in a continuous spring.
Even the so-called dry and rainy
seasons which affect other sections
of Mexico fail to change the even
climate of Mexico City itself. Curi-
ously enough this colorful mountain
city also enjoys one of the highest
averages of sunshine in the world.
Its highest temperature is about 80
degrees, and its lowest about 37 de-
grees. Most of the year, however,
the temperature averages about 60
degrees:
the other day announcing the safe
arrival of his son, Sapper Sidney
Watts, in England. He, went over'.
from Ottawa with a small draft, and
they managed to elude the German
Pirates on the way.
Word was received last week of
the wounding of Pte, Norman Miller,'.
s•q. n of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Miller.
Afthoult not fully aware of the extent
of his wounds it is, notbelieved they
are too serious, but he has been ad':'
milted to the hospital. Pte. Mille,
went to France with the first draft
from the 161st.
The death occurred in Clinton on
Saturday of an old resident bf this
section in the person of Robert Thom-
pson.
hompson. The deecased was born of Irish
parentage in Lanark County in 1837
and came to Huron in 1855. For some
yearn he followed the business of far -
piing then settled on the farm just
!south of Clinton, now owned by Mr.
James Hamilton, where he resided
for a time. Later he purchased the
farm en the 16th, and that continued
to be his home until two years ago
when he left it to his son Robert G.
and moved into Clinton. He is sur-
vived by his wife, and a family of five
daughters and two sons; Mrs. L.
Beatty, Varna; Mrs. James Fulton,
IYale, Mich.; Gerrie, Bertie and Win-
nie at home and Harry J. and Robert
G. in Goderich township. Two sisters
also ssrvive, Mrs. Edward Rathwell
of town and Mrs. McCordick of Mount
Albert.

party at her home' on Saturday last

able afternoon.

Career of Glassware
Glassware has had a different
career. Good glassware was made
in the Williamsburg and in other
factories more than 100 years ago
and Arnerican-made glassware has
always been popular in this country.
Last year 97 per cent of the glass-
ware sold in this country was
American made and this year the
percentage will be even higher.
Special automatic molds have made
our pressed glass far less expensive
than European pressed glass, and
even American-made hand -blown
glass is .notexpensive, due to years
of research and costly experiment
on the part of the Corning glass fac-
tory.
