FOREIGN LAsoRERs COMPLAIN.

A Garment Makers union went on
strike some weeks ago in New York. A
Polander who headed the strike talked
affectingly to a reporter He came to
America because it was called the land
of the free, but he had found It the land
of the real slave. Poland" said he, lis
the land Of serfs. America. the land of
slaves who die"
His wife did not care to. leave her peo-
pie in Poland, but he over-persuaded her
to come. His wages as worker for cloth
ing manufacturers was their entire sup
port. He has worked for 30 years for these
clothiers at Sc a week. His wife helps him
on his work. His work is just as accept
able as it ever was, but they can barely
live. Employers in America grind US so
heavily we can hardly live. We cannot

When there are thousands of acres of

from the sweat shops of New York city

CARE OF LAMPS.

sure Good Lights.
Much has been said and written con-
cerning the best lamp chimneys and
burners to use In order to have good
lights, but neither one is so important
as to keep the burners clean. Many
lamps give a dull feeble light or have
been set aside as dangerous because
they are not properly cared for in this
respect and the dust has accumulated
in the small air tube at the side Of the
wick. The remedy Is 80 simple that
there Is no excuse for this condition Of
affairs.
New lamp chimneys are toughened
and made more durable by putting
them in water and heating IL gradually
until II is boiling hot. When they have
boiled five minutes, set them off the
stove and allow them to cool in the wa
ter. In addition to the daily filling Of
the lamps and cleaning Of the chin
neys, the burners should be boiled once
a week In water containing enough
washing powder to make a good suds.
This will remove the oil and leave
them bright and clean. Polish with
dry flannel.
Use none but the best oil, and the
lamp should be kept full to insure
good light. Keep the reflector, II it has

FROSTBlTE AND ChlLBLAlNS
How Co Treat Parts Affected by EN-
poHWre 10 Cold.

pOmWre TO Cold.
Frostbitten parts should be rubbed
with snow or towels soaked In Ice wa
ter; remain In a cool room. When the
skin becomes warmer after the rub
bing with snow, wrap the affected part
In cotton wool. When a person is near
ly frozen to death, place him in cool
room, rub him up and down with fan
mel soaked in alcohol or whisky and
follow this by rubbing with dry hands.
Make artificial respiration at the start
(the same as practiced for q person res
cued from the water). After a time
wrap the patient In warm blankets
and apply mustard plasters over the
heart Ind spine. Give injection into
the bowel Of brandy or whisky. AS
soon as the patient can swallow, give
brandy or whisky by mouth. AS his
condition improves gradually admit
heat and raise the temperature of the
room.
Chilblain is the secondary effect Of
cold. The person suffering from chill
blain must take exercise out Of doors
and never lolter around the fire. Ev-
cry morning upon rising he should take
q cold water sponge off from head to
foot, followed by brisk rubbing with
rough towel. Sleep with warm stock
ings on the feet or with the feet against
a bag or bottle of hot water. If the
chilblain be only small spot, wash
the part twice daily with cold salt wa
ter and rub dry with flannel, after
which rub with mixture Of turpen-
tine and sweet oil in equal parts

How 10 Care For the Teeth.

If the teeth are to get but one thor
ough cleaning during the day. just be-
fore retiring is the best time to give it
to them, as there are six or eight hours
during sleep that the saliyary glands
are inactive, and fatty and starchy
foods that may be lodged between and
around the teeth are bathed in saliva,
n partial digestive fuid, undergo de-
composition. forming acids which act
more or less readily on the tooth struc-
ture at the time Of their formation. The
salivary glands not being active during
sleep, acids are not diluted, as during
the day free flow of saliva prevents
to a great degree the deleteriOus eff
fects of acids thus formed. The teeth
and gums should be carefully brushed

SPRhiNEO JOINTS.
How to Treat TO Reduce the Pain
and Swelling.

and Swelling.
An injury resulting from any violent
wrenching or twisting Of joint with
out a fracture of bone is termed a
sprain, says Youths Companion.
Immediate attention is an imperative
necessity in sprains, since in no injury
do swelling and pain more promptly
supervene The marked and rapid
swelling following a sprain is usually
occasioned by the exudatiOn Of fluids
taking place not only around the injur-
ed joint, but also within the joint, the
latter frequently to so great an extent
as to force the two articulating sur
faces apart
Any motion or weight upon the Joint
when in this condition is iutolerable,
| and In every case effort should be
made to check exudation promptly, re-
lieve the swelling and pain and relax
the tension of the muscles adjacent.
Nothing meets the emergency better
than hot water-as hot as can he borne
and this fortunately is usually quick
ly at hand even in the most primitive
camp. The joint and adjacent limb
should be plunged into the water,
which may be kept hot by the addition
of small quantities from another YES
sci kept over the fire. This treatment
must be continued for hours if neces-
sary. 1t should continue at least until
the swelling and pain have been reduc-
ed An all night treatment not infre-
quently results in the possibility of
using the limb the next day, although
such a procedure is not to be recon-
mended.
Cold water is nearly as effectual as
hot in checking the symptoms. In
some cases 1t seems equally efficacious
and even more comforting. In either
case the treatment must be prolonged
and the temperature Of the water faith
fully kept at the point of greatest eff
cheney.
Other remedies are also valuable il
the physician has them at hand, but
all are used with the same end In
view-of relaxing muscular tension.
