Treatment For sprains.

The prevalence of sprains and strains
owing to the indulgence In athletic
exercises of all kinds moves an au
thority on the treatment of these pain
full accidents to say:
A little common sense treatment Is
often all that is needed when the strain
Is at ankle or wrist and without COM
plIcations. 1t will swell very alarming
ly at first and gradually develop a
frightful looking bruise, but from the
first 1t should have complete rest and
n treatment of hot and cold douches,
the hot being used at first, when the
swelling is painful, and the cold later
on, as a sort Of tonic to the relaxed
muscles. The hot must be very hot
and the cold very cold, as the tepid
water does harm rather than good.
For the first day of a strain, when
all the wrenched cartilages and mus
cles are aching great relief is found In
a poultice of egg and salt. To make 1t,
beat the white of an egg till light, but
not stiff. Stir In gradually cup and
half of salt. or more II needed, to
make a thick. pastelike icing. Spread
this on a cloth and bandage In place.
Cover all with oil silk or thick bath
towel TO protect the sheets, since the
egg leaks out continually. After this
has relieved the soreness begin with
hot water lamentations and wear n
light, firm lsndage. except at night.

This Is a German invention. The
arrangement used is provided with a
rod, upon which the roll of paper is
placed. A paste receptacle with a
brushing arrangement Is attached in
such n manner that the paste is ap-
piled automatically on the back of the
paper. The end of the wall paper Is
fixed at the bottom of the wall, and
the implement rises on the wall. and
only needs to be set by one workman.
While the wall paper unrolls, and, pro-
vided with paste, Is held against the
wall, an elastic roller follows on the

wall. when the wall paper has reach
