THE ART OF GARGLING.
Not the Same Thing as the Process
Usually Followed.

Not the Same Thing as the Process
Usually Followed.
The proper method of gargling is
thus described by writer in the Med
ical Record:
"The patient Cat first under the guild
ance of a physician) should sit well
back in a chair, take swallow of wa
ter in the mouth and bend the head as
far back as possible.
Now he must protrude the tongue
from the mouth the tip Of the tongue
may be grasped with handkerchief)
and in this posture with protruding
tongue he must try to swallow the wa
ter. The physician should control the
patients vain efforts, for 1t is impossi-
Bile to swallow under such circum-
stances.
1.-THE patient has the sensation as ii
he actually had swallowed the water.
Now he must start to gargle, to eXhale
air slowly. One can see plainly the
bubbling of the fluid in the wide open
pharynx.
"After gargling thus for awhile the
patient is ordered to close the mouth
and quickly throw head and body for
ward. Thereby all the fluid is forced
through the choanoe and nostrils,
washing the throat and nose from be-
hind and eXpelling all the accumula-
lions that had been present with great
force.
This should be repeated several
times, as the first trial is not always
successful and satisfactory. 1t is an
act that must be learned
"When properly executed the sensa-
ton, as the patient will assure you, is
that of great relief not had by any
other method. 1t will be wise for the
practitioner to try the method first on
himself. Even small children who are
at all clever learn the method readily
and rather enjoy it,"

His Mouth Full.

A certain town council after pro
tracted sitting was DESTROYS of adj
joulning for luncheon. The PROPOSE
ton was opposed by the mayor, who
thought that if his fellow councillors
felt the stimulus of hunger the dis
patch of business would be much IA
cllltated.
At last an illlterate member got up
and exclaimed:
II ham astonished, ham surprised
ham amazed. Mr.. Mayor, that you
will not let us go to lunchw
"I'm surprised" exclaimed one of his
colleagues, that a gentleman who has
got so much ham in his mouth wants
any lunch at all"-London Scraps.

paid to beginners is s75 per month.
COMPENSATION rnus as high as 81 400
per year for rangers who have had
some experience and demonstrate
their capabilty. Still better places
are open to these men, for it is the
policy of the forest service to ill
vacancies in higher positions by the
promotion of rangers who have proved
their capacity.
