Aid to the Injured
on July Fourth

AS Mrs. Rice, the suppression-of-un
necessary advocate, has not sue
ceeded in diverting American patriot
sim from expressing itself on the
Fourth of July by means of explosives
of various kinds, there is every reason
to believe that the casualty list of
our national holiday will line up in
length with those of preceding years.
Carelessness on the part of parents,
disobedience on the part of young
America and greed on the part of
dealers are responsible for most of the
accidents that the celebration of indie
pendence day brings forth. If chill
dren were properly protected from the
use of toy pistols, giant frecrackers
and other dangerous noise making de-
vices-but why talk of things as they
ought to be? It were better to ac-
cept them as they are and to give a
few instructions to mothers who are
apt to lose their heads when Johnnie
or Molly is badly burned.
We all know that the best treatment
for the Fourth of July accident is, to
use Hibernianism, to guard against
it. But when the inevitable does hap
pen and in case of serious injury the
manner in which sufferer is cared for
during the wait for medical assistance
may ward off life Disagreement or prob
ably death. A calm, cool, self possess
ed woman or man at such a time be-
comes an angel of mercy not only to
the victim, but to his distracted family.
In dealing with burns, both superb
eial and severe. it is well to bear in
mind that immediate exclusion of air
from the wounded surface win greatly
relieve the sufferer. Should the injury
consist merely of a reddening of the
skin the best method is to sprinkle it
thiekly with bicarbonate of soda, then
bandage it with a wet cloth till the
burning sensation is allayed. As soon
as relief is obtained the in1amed skin
