Needless to say, the men are not allowed

During the recent spell of hot weather
unusual precautions were taken at the re-

protect the men against heat prostrat1on.

when necessary, he was immersed in the

required. hypodermic injections of nitro
giycerine were administered. Everything
possible was done for the patient. and it
was always left to the physician to decide
how soon the man should be permitted
to return to work. 1t is the opinion of
Mr.. Weigand that many of the cases of
heat prostration were due to the men not
having properly taken care of themselves.
Such, for instance, as drank beer and
whisky in large quantities laid themselves
more open to til" evil effects of the heat
than those who led temperate lives.
According to the superintendent, the
number of men absent from the refinery
varies usually from twelve to twenty-five,
an average which is not large, seeing that
it includes not only those that are Ill, but
those that send such excuses as: Il have
