Let there be less firecracker and
more flag and broader realization OF
what that flag stands fOr.-Mrs. J.
Heron Crosman, chairman Patriotic
Committee, New York City Fedora
ton Womens Clubs.
Tetanus is the most important
single menace of the Fourth, chiefly
through the use of the toy pistol
which makes insignificant wounds.
but of a peculiar character, owing to
the fact that they are specially favor
able to the development of the te-
tanus bacillus. Ii there is any adj
vice to give parents in this matter
it would be not to regard trivial
injuries as of smaller consequence.
The chief danger is from the wads of
pistol which often enter the skin
through very small openings, but
which expand beneath the surface of
the skin and form favorite nests for
the tetanus bacillus.
Parents cannot treat these seeming
ly trivial wounds, they are too dan
gerous. The hospitals are filled after
every Fourth with home treated pa
tients. The only proper thing to do
is to call in a physician at once. and
don't put oil on the burns. 1t inter
feres with modern treatment by the
surgeons-Dr. Robert T. Morris, pro-
fessor of surgery at the New York
Post Graduate Hospital

and make a background of the same.
If you have a family friend who was
veteran of the Civil war give him
A seat of honor, also draped with
Tags, and persuade him to give a
little talk of his own experiences. If
you have no personal friend you may

annex one. We have not many years
more when we can hear the story at
first hand and a half century from

slipping over the divide will be glad
