Italians Use Bulls to Charge Defences.
During the attack on the fortifications of Monte Coracle, the Italians employed savage bulls, which were

For those who are going to buy a

off.
To fry bacon so as to have it
straight, light brown and crisp, invert

An even brown color is obtained as
the grease trickles into the plate be-
low. This metho'a prevents any spat-
tering of the stove. The bacon is
evenly cooked and the grease is per-
fectly clear for frying. eggs. This
method is a great advantage when
one uses oil or gasoline, especially as
the cooking of the bacon can be com-
bined -with the baking of muffins or
other things.
Zinc is often the hardest thing in
the house to clean, especially under
kitchen stoves, where it becomes bad-
ly discolored. One of the simplest
and surest methods is to dry thor-
oughly the zinc and then go over it
with kerosene oil, which must be al-
lowed to stand over night. In the
morning this should be wiped with a
soft cloth, and more kerosene applied.
The oil eats out all the grease and
dirt which adheres to the zinc and
makes it white and spotless. Zinc -
lined sinks or bathtubs can be treat=
ed the same way, but must' be thole
oughly dried afterward.
HEALTH LESSONS
FROM THE WAR
WHAT SURGEON -GENERAL OF
U. S. ARMY SAYS.
Development of Preventive Methods
and -of Surgery are Most
Important Results.
Here is what General William C.
Gorges, Surgeon- General of the Unit-
ed States Army, has to say about the
sanitary aspects of the Europeen
war. It is the first statement he has
made.
General Gorges is best known as
the man who made the construction
of the Panama Canal a healthful job
for the American workers, whereas
it had been a deathful job for ` the
French, workers whopreviously, at-
tempted it.,
In' the minds of many it is ' re-
garded as a probability that without
his genius as a sanitary expert the
canal never could have been. built.
He ' had actual!' battlefield experi-
ence in the ..'Spanish War, and he
literally 'worked,magic in Havana,
changing it from. . a yellow . fever
plague spot • to', one ' of the healthiest
of tropical cities.
His "observations' on the sanitary
aspects • of the' European war cannot
fail to be of great interest and great
value. '''
"Un'doubtedly_great sanitary les-
sons will be learned through the ex- ease in recent years. For this new
perienees- of the medical officers of knowledge the world is indebted prin-
the warring powers in Europe." Sur- , cipally to two American investigators,
geon General Gorges further said,
"But so far we have received no re-
ports and do not know just what
they will be.
"Probably the most important of
the unusual sanitary conditions will
prove to have developed through the
character of the wounds.
"The second and the more serious
thing is the fact that by the nature
of the trench fighting it frequently
becomes impossible for the contend-
ing forces to leave shelter so that
they may gather up their wounded.
"Thus, first, unusually large pro-
portionate numbers of the fighters
suffer lacerated wounds, and, second,
these wounded often lie without at-
tention for an unsually long time
upon the field where they have fallen.
"Thus, forced to remain unsuccored
upon the ground for hours, and
sometimes, even for days, every con-
dition favorable to wound infection
is created, and a situation which very
nearly approaches that of the old
days before the development of
aseptic surgery results.
New Diseases 'Unlikely.
"A great change has been worked
in ambulance ' service by the general
introduction . of automobiles, and
doubtless many lives are being saved.
through the speed with which the mo-
tor ambulances can work, which is
much greater than that at which
horse or mule equipage ,can be oper
atedW.
"e scarcely can expect the pre-
sent war to develop m ech new knowl-
edge with relation to disease. Fought
in. temperate or cold climates, it of-
fers few or no new disease problems;'
but it will go far toward demon-
strating the practical efficiency or in-
efficiency of several comparatively re-
cent medical discoveries.
"Among these undoubtedly will be
typhoid vaccination. The application
of this preventive method to millions
of men—and literally millions have.
been vaccinated , in the various arm-
ies-undoubtedly will prove it and
perfect it.
But in this war the surgical side
is infinitely more important than the
medical side. As I have said, con-
ditions in this war, for one reason or
another, have returned to something
very closely akin to those existing
during our civil wax.
"Before the development of asepsis
almost all the gunshot wounds of war
became infected, although this fact
was not understood.'Even as late
as 1880,-when"I was getting my, me-
dical education, we considered what
was really the effect of wound in -
faction to be one of the natural stages:
of the healing process.
"But there came Pasteur's discov-
ery of micro=organisms, and this was
followed by . Lister's development of
methods by means of which to pre-
vent the entrance ,of these micro-
organisms into wounds. Thus it was
demonstrated that wounds healing
properly show neither suppuration
nor inflammation.
Treating Typhus.
"Just how effective inoculation for
tetanus will prove to be we cannot,
of course, know until after the war
ends and the final records are check-
ed up, but I; haveno doubt that we
shall then find that it has done much
to reduce war's horrors.
"Typhus is looming up very threat-
eningly in the eastern theatre of war,.
particularly in Serbia and Austria,
and ere long may appear in the west
ern armies.
"Much; has been learned of this. dis-
