If You Burn Yourself.

The pain from slight burns is very great.
An excellent application is "A thick paste
of common baking soda. moistened with
water, spread on piece of linen or cot
ton, and bound on the part. This can be
kept wet by squeezing water on it from a
sponge or cloth until the smarting is sooth-
ed.
A thick coating of starch can be used
instead of the soda, or wheat -four if moth
ing better can be had, but neither should
be applied if the skin is broken. In this
case it is better to use vaseline, olive or
linseed oil. The doctor will apply some
preparation containing carbolic acid.
If the air be effectually excluded from n
burn, the pain is relieved.
Blisters should be pricked and the fluid
absorbed with soft cloth before dressing,
If the clothing adheres to the skin, the
loose part should be cut away and the
patches of material soaked off with oil or
warm water.
When the injury is extensive, the suffer

shock. Heat should be applied to the ex-
tremities and over the heart, and hot
drinks given until the doctor comes.

should be covered with dry baking soda
or lime, as the alkali will neutralize the
acid. No water should be used, but cos

independence two years earlier, at

WAR OR CANCELLATION.
Where the California Congressman
Will Differ.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-To-morrow the
California Democrats in Congress will
labor with the Democratic mem bers of the
Ways and Means Committee in an en-
deavOr to get them to consent TO amend
ments to the Wilson tariff bill, which will
result In tariff duties more advantageous
to the wine, fruit. iute and other interests
in which California is specially interested.
Representative Caminetti says the report
that he would join Mr.. Geary in opposing
the Wilson bill is erroneous. He never
made any such declaration himself, nor
had any person been authorized to speak
for him. He believes that the Demo-
cratic managers are confident they can
pass the Wilson bill in the House
easily, and that threats of oppos-
ing it on account of California
interests not being sufficiently guarded
will be unavailing. He believes that con-
ciliation and suasive influences will ac-
complish more than attempts at coercion.
For this reason he desires to say that he
will stand with his party in support of the
Wilson bill, but will nevertheless make
every effort to induce his Democratic
brethren to guard California's industries
more carefully and adopt certain amend
illtulS WutCH Will Uo OllbTeu IL CUAlTman
Wilson will give his consent.
Mr.. Geary yesterday voted for the pre-
vious question. which had the effect of
shutting off debate on the question of the
adoption of resolution bringing the Will
son bill before the House for immediate
consideration. Those who voted for the
previous question made quorum by their
action and succeeded in bringing the mat
ter OF the adoption of the resolution be-
fore the House, which would result in
stopping the right of amendment of the
tariff bill. AS Mr.. Geary had several
amendments which he was anxious to
propose his action in voting for
the previous question was in
the nature of surprise to his friends.
who thought he had finally joined the
''cuckoos," as the administration sup
pOrters are dubbed; but his failure to vote
on the resolution itself, acting with the
Repu ublicsns under Reeds leadership.
makes his real position somewhat hard to
understand. However, notwithstanding the
fact that Geary's votes yesterday seemed
to be Inconsistent, there is no doubt that
he is actuated by the sincere motive of Sc
curing a tariff more advantageous to Cali
fornia, the only difference being that
while Gesry'S policy is not conciliatory.
but intended to be threatening to Mr..
Wilson and his co-managers, the idea of
Representatives Mcguire, Caminetti and
Cannon is to stand in with the Democratic
managers and secure what little they can
by conciliatiOn and argument rather than
by coercion. Representative Caminetti
expresses confidence that some amend
ments may be secured in California's in
terest. but others who understand the
situation as well as Mr.. Caminettf are not
80 sanguine of success as he appears to be.
