Frost Bite.

There are other ways of getting
frost-bitten aside from going boldly
out and letting Jack Frost nip your
fingers and toes. a very common
method is to come home with cold,
wet feet from Il long drive, or from
outdoor work, ard place the feet or
hands in warm water or before the
fire. The II who does this, and not
many escape it during the cold months,
is frost bitten to ali iitents and pur-
poses, SAYS D. H. Stovall of Grants
Pass, Ore. in the Epitomist. The best
way to treat frost-bite is the old meth
cd of rubbing the affected parts with
snow. This coaNes back the lost vital
ity. After the coldness and numb
ness subsidies, put the hands or feet in
moderately cold water and continue the
rubbing process. No warmth should
be applied for some time. Blood poi
son from frost-bite is too frequently
the result OF coming in and rashly
thrusting the numbed hands or feet i'm
to n basin of warm or hot water. On
the American farm chilblains are usu-
ally about the extent of frost-bite.
though not ~lnfrequently we read of
mountain ranche1s and ever farmers
of the more densely inhabited localities
freezing to death. AS before limited il
is not always he extreme lowness of
temperature to which ones feet or
hands are subjected that causes the

or from heat to cold. Thus moist cold

to Withstand than dry; and that eX-

In the recent news many people have
noticed n or two references to the
fact that timed meats for the Russian
troops are prepared by II process which
enables the contents of each tin to
be served hot without a fire. This
boon Is obtained by having the or
binary tins filled with food 'jacketed"
In patent tins. The patent tin con-
tains water. together with n chemical
mixture by means of which the water
can be raised to boiling poin, in ten
minutes or IL quarter of an hour. All
that is necessary to do when it is de-
sired to heat the food is to puncture
the top Of the patent tin. the chemical
mixture being thereby forced into the
water. which soon begins to boil.
