Every day's paper brought sickening lists of casualty, and their columns were crowded with appeals for help for the hospitals and the weary garrisons. It is said in legend that Trapman street hospital was crowded with wounded after the battle of Secession ville, and that fine young men there died like flies for the need of the hos pital and surgical supplies and the contraband- medicines which might have saved them. The Relief begged piteously for cot ton, or for cleaned, dry moss,, from which to make beds for wounded men to lie on; and plead earnestly for rags to dress wounds. And there was small pox among the troops, and but one small hospital for its care. There were eight hospitals in town; the First Louisiana Recovery, Distri bution and Transfer, in King street, just off Cannoe, R. Lebby, surgeon; the Soldiers' Relief Hospital, at the comer of Cooper and Drake, William H. Huger in charge; Third North Car olina Hospital, at 29 Charlotte street, J. G.

Tayl r have Careful, painstaking canning is the only, kind of canning that pays, de clares the United States Department cf Agriculture in a statement issued today warning housewives against carelessness in putting up' fruits ana vegetables. "The faithful following of approved methods and directions is the only safe road to success in canning," says ihe statement. "Housewives who carelessly practice methods that are new to them, or who attempt to 'im prove on the methods, or to make short cuts, are taking a risk cf spoil ing good food. Canning is essentially .1 scientific process, however much it may have been simplified for home Method Should Be Followed in Detail "In the canning methods which the department advocates careful study has been made of the essentials for the preservation of food products, and all steps not absolutely necessary have been eliminated. There is good reason, therefore, for each step which is advocated. If home canners pro fess to follow a department method, they should follow it in detail; and if they fail so to follow it, they should frankly recognize that not the meth od but the application of it is at fault. Especially there should be no mixing of methods, whether those of the de partment or others. One method should be adopted and followed care fully in canning any given batch "of products. One-Period Cold-Pack Method. "In the one-period cold-pack method of canning, in particular, canning has been simplified greatly as compared with some other methods.

Friends in Liverpool, James Calder principally, tried desperately to run in quinie, morphine, opium and" harts horn; but got little through compared to the great and increasing need. Chas B. Farmer, near Walterboro, made he roic efferts in 1863 to raise poppies enough to furnish an anodyne; da tura sramonium was used to soothe; and the papers were full 'of sugges tions of substitutes for medicines. For prophylactics the Oonieuerate Physician was compelled to supply the place of quinine with willow DarK, ana poplar bark, in whiskey or rum, while eifeher lasted; the fruit of the dogberry was used to break fever; a decoction of parsley seed as a febrifuge; or the breast was wrapped is a cloth damped with oil of turpentine half an hour before the chill. In July, '63, Dr. J. J. Chisholm, medical purveyor to the Confederate army, called for herbs, seeds, roots, Ipps. their stalks and leaves, all' of. which he needed desperately as substitutions for standard drugs ns could not in any way obtain; and beg ged also for potato beetles as a suo- it.nt. for cantharides, fcpamsn uy, to be scalded and dried, or killed with the fumes of turpentine. From them a tincture was made for treatment of fever and exhaustion, typhus and typhoid forms. The common stinging nettle, also, was used; ana uncwuw of red ants in brandy, for their formic acid, internally, or mascerated m bland fat: even the black beetle was used, so great was the need, so smi. the supply. ' Broom straws were used to prom gunshot wounds, jerked from the hos pital broom, no other proper appliance being supplied; often the broom naa but just swept the ward; wounded men, waiting for their turn,nopea amy the straw would not be used upon them. , Early in the war wounds had been packed in line; now there was no lint; wounds were packed no more, but drained. . . .
