The Proper Attention for July 4th Victims

wound a coating of vaseline, or, bet ter still, one of olive oil.
 Disfguring scars are often the re- suit of such injuries, but skillful at tention will do d great deal to prevent this possibility.
 Injuries from toy pistols, that are such a joy to the small boy and a cause of anxiety to the mother, are favorite mishaps of the day, and when the skin Is broken from such an &C., cident there Is danger that powder may have entered the cut.
 The affected part should be cauter- ized as soon as possible.
 If one has a bottle of carbolic acid in the house, this cauterizing is easily done by dipping a toothpick or match stick in the acid and applying the acid to the wound. When carbolic acid is not at hand call the nearest doctor or send the child to a drug store.
 If there is powder in the eyes of the enthusiastic celebrants, draw the up- per lid down well over the lower and have the patient blow his nose forct- bly, at the same time. If the troublesome particle should get imbedded under the lower lid, draw the lid down by the lashes and let the sufferer turn his eyebaM toward the nose. then use a soft handkerchief to clear the eye.
 In wiping the eye always move to- ward the nose, as this is the direction taken by the natural secretions.
 Particles imbedded in the eyeball will have to be attended to by a sur- geon, but great relief can be given by bandaging the eye before the physi- elan arrives.
 Shock very often follows a severe burn, and the sufferer, although not unconscious, lies in an apathetic state that is truly alarming. Failure to rally from this may indirectly cause death.
 To treat patient suffering from shock lower the head and administer stimulants until the heart action is revived. Heat should be applied to the pit of the stomach and the ex- tremities.
 Brandy and water is the best stimu- lant where there is nausea, or hot tea, coffee, or beef tea may be used if the patient can retain 1t.
 When the clothing takes fire pres- ence of mind will often prevent very serious mishaps
 Much the worst thing a person can do is to run shrieking for help, and this is exactly what every child does.
 It would be a wise precaution for mothers to give little talk to their youngsters before the great day on first aids and impress upon them the importance of keeping their mouths shut if the clothes should become ig- nited, for the greatest danger comes from inhaling the flames. They should be told to lie down and roll about them whatever heavy woolen object happens to be in reach. Even a wool en coat is better than nothing.
 When covering a preson whose clothes are afanie be sure to begin at the head, to guard against the flames reaching the mouth. - Philadelphia Times

OUR GREATEST INDEPENDENCE
 DAY.


 What was expected to be great and memorable September festival has because of incidents beyond the con- trol of the people become our great est celebration of the Fourth of July Many things would have been differ ent had not the programme been so unexpectedly changed; but 1t fig doubt ful if the results would have been any more satisfactory had the original pro- gramme been adhered to. The spirit shown by our. citizens in the prepara- tion for the celebration leaves no doubt that their hearts are in the work. and the programme is so exten- sive that 1t makes one wonder how so much can be accomplished in two short days.
 We shall have with us President Taft and many distinguished men of this state and other states, visiting civic organizations and from 10000 to 10000 of our neighbors; and the fact that some organizations have been disappointed because of not hay ing an invitation shows with what favor our celebration is elsewhere re- garded, and how good our repute is as joy-naAers on special occasions.
 Norwich should be conscious of the fact that she has more in her 25Oth celebration than she possibly could have had if the old date had been adhered to-that the pageantry of the occasion has been made much greater because of the presence of the presi- dent whom we all regard with high favor and for whom we have only warm hearts and loud huzzas.
 The presence of John Mitchell will be especially gratifying to organized labor and to the people and our wis., itors in general. MT. Mitchell has en- joyed the distinction of being the greatest, because the most rational. labor leader of this age. He is a man of good conscience, judgment and fair mlndedness, and is likely to be only second to President Taft in popular ity, and not half the people who desire will be able to hear his address on Franklin square.
 The distinguished gentlemen who will address those who were fortu- nate enough to procure seats in Broad way theater are well known for their scholarship and forensic ability and NAiS As d : uahdiey VI du unuSudl Ineu- tai treat there.
 There will be crowds everywhere and good nature-because American crowds are always good natured; but every individual should be alert for the fool in an automobile, of which The Bulletin hopes there will not be one; and for the light fingered gentry who relieve people of their wallets and their jewelry, and of such there are likely to be a fair number, for the bug zards always gather where the prey Is.
 It is not polite to carry luncheon to a hosts house except upon such an occasion as this when he is liable to be eaten out of house and home. Nor wich homes are full of visitors who came in by the thousand on Saturday, and the streets will be filled with hun gry people at midday who are very

Tomato Jam.

Wipe four pounds of tomatoes thor oughly, pour some boiling water over them. Let them stand for few min utes till the skins can be easily re- moved Then skin, cut them across and take out as many of the seeds as possible without breaking up the fruit very much. Put the seeds, skins and liquid that may have run out into an enameled pan, with two cups of water boil gently for 40 minutes strain through a piece of fine muslin; now put this liquid in the preserving pan; add six pounds of sugar and bring to the boil; then allow to boil for five minutes, then add the fruit and boil for three-quarterS of an hour or till 1t jellies, which varies little with different kinds of tomatoes.

As Mrs. Rice, the suppression of unnecessary noise advocate, has not succeeded in diverting American patriotism from expressing itself on the Fourth of July by means of ex- plosives of various kinds, there is every reason to believe that the cas- ualty list of our national holiday will line up in length with those of pre- ceding 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 In- dependence day brings forth.
 If children were properly protected from the use of toy pistols. giant firecrackers and other dangerous of things as they ought to be?
 It were better to accept them as they are and to give a. few instruc- tions to mothers who are apt to lose their heads when Johnnie or Mollie A 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 a sufferer is cared for during the wait for medical as- sistance may ward off life disfgure- ment or probable death.
 A calm, cool, self possessed woman or man at such a time becomes an angel of mercy, not only to the victim but to his distracted family.
 In dealing with burns, both super ficial and severe, it is well to bear in mind that immediate exclusion of air from the wounded surface will great ly 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 @ wet cloth till the burning sen sation is allayed.
 As soon as relief is obtained the inflamed skin may be protected. from the action of the air by painting it with the white of an egg. The first layer of egg being dried apply a sec- and and a third.
 When the burn is of more serious nature and the cuticle has been blist- cred or destroyed. quickly give the

ah2 fett fiaJ the committee upon invitations nt out 4.50G invitations to people in all parts of the world who call Norwich home shows how her children wander, and that the infiu- ence of this well-founded town is felt In many states and in many lands. Those who can look back to Norwich ancestors undoubtedly would make a city several times greater than Nor wich itself is&Pday.
 We know tE4E the major portion of them are not here to help us cele- brate, but there is not one who is not with us in spirit-not one but de- sires to know all the details of this manifestation of civic pride. They would all like to be here; and those who have come find many changes in the appearance of the place and see only an occasional familiar face. and those who could not come are pleased by the fact that they are still remem- bered at the place of their birth-that some one remembers them. The hom- ing instinct is natural to most of Gods creaturea-they have a place of abode which they prefer-a natal place they cannot forget. They do not expect to ind the old hearthstone or the old scenes. The elders among them stand practically in a new city with visions of the old place abiding in their minds and warming their hearts. The very face of Nature changes and there is probably not a tree in existence or a waterway or hill the same as when Mason and Underhill were chasing the aborigines through a wilderness here of plenty and beauty; but there are a few places that were made dear by association or in some other way which do endure Old memories of Norwich do not hold the same hills and habita- tons, or even skies. Each heart treas ures what was near and dear to 1t, and it finds joy in being home once more. Nathaniel Cotton was right when he sang in "The Fireside":
 The world has nothing to bestow-
 From our own selves our joys must
 flow,
 And that dear hut, our home!"
 We know that there are a few hu- man creatures so broad or metropoli- tan in spirit that the whole world seems to be home to them, and they 1NAC CtaobCO do llODO WIO nave lIt wanderlust; and those who are of the heart-keeping home class do not un- derstand them; but 1t is more than probable that they catch their hearts beating faster and their minds long ingly reverting to boyhood's scenes as we do, when they hear vibrating through the air that beautiful song, Home, sweet home, be it ever so hum- ble there's no place like home"
 Norwich greets all her children to- day with the warm heart of a mother, and she yearns for those who are not here as the mother heart ever does and ever must. She loves her chill dren and is conscious of the golden chord which makes them one great family regardless of where they may be located beneath the sun. She is proud of them as they are proud of her, and is conscious of the fact that their attainments broaden her fame.
 Those who are with her will find the old cordiality here. if there are many new faces; and warm hearts and glad hands and oldfashioned hospitality will be the order of the festival which is being celebrated by us all
