commonly, the knowledge of how to
apply a tourniquet and check bleeding
saves many a man from losing his
chance Of living. Artificial respiration,
the ability to dress wounds or scalds,
even roughly, Or to administer simply
poison antidotes might make the diff
ference between recovery and death.

"There are great many times dur

Scalding, coal gas poisoning, burns
cuts and bruises of all kinds are com

accidents. Ordinarily, the injured man
would be put aboard train Just as he
was, would have to wait until he got
to. the city and be taken either to a
hospital or be treated by q physician
of the road. This might mean a delay
Of several hours, and that delay might
be disastrous. AS it is now, with The
first aid men scattered up and down the
line, some one can be reached in very
short time who is competent to do a
great deal Of good -.
"Do Something Quickly
"The men, of course, do not attempt
to make physicians Of. themselves, but
most effective way possible under tie

them constantly do something and
do it. quickly. Surprising s. conductor
should find a passenger suffering from
poison. There, might or might not be
a doctor within reach, and the man or
woman might die before one could be
found. One of our graduates would
know enough to clean out the stomach
without delay. He would administer
Some simple enetic and flood the stom-
ach with water. That would be enouph
in most eases to save a life.
The first few moments in case of
that kind count for more than thessuc.
ceeding hours. What the conductor
could do after that depends upon his
knowledge of how to make the most
of what materials lie within his reach,

to themselves, it is surprising how many
of them manage to squeeze out the hour
which might otherwise be devoted to
recreation. The railroad shoulders the
expense of the undertaking, but the
men have to give their own time to the
work. They feel that it. only makes
them more valuable to the road and to
the service, and they also look upon it
as sort Of mutual benefit society. John
Jones puts himself in the position of
helping Sam Smith in the case of need,
and Sam Smith reciproeates by making
himself valuable in; the case Of injury

be of Invaluable service to passengers.
