kENNEWicN TO SOUND

Under command of Captain Ralph
f. Peasley, and manned by compe-
tent crew, including Captain George
Caldwell, launch Kennewick sailed at
o'clock Tuesday afternoon for Sc
attic, where she will be placed on a
run between that city and cambridge
Island. A deal that provides for an
eight months charter has been con-
cluded and during that time the Ken
neWlck will ply regularly, making
four daily trips between Seattle and
the Island. The launch was brought
around from the Sound last winter
in command of Captain Peasley, when
the weather was somewhat squally
and she proved herself an excellent
sea boat. She was purchased in Sc
attic by the Caldwell Bros, to be used
in towing and passenger business on
the HarbOr, but the season is now
drawing to it's close and the Sound
run has been accepted at a good rate
Captain Caldwell will have charge of
the boat on the Sound. The Kenne-
wick passed over the bar late Tues
day night and shaped her course fol
the capes. She was due in Seattle a
midnight last night, if everythina

What to Do
Before the
Doctor Comes


There is 10 difference between a
bone that has been fractured and one
shat has been broken, although the
term fracture is sometimes used when
the bone has been only cracked or
split and not broken entirely apart.
Fractures are usually caused by
some external force as a blow with a
club or a fall. but sometimes. espe-
cially in elderly people. a sudden mus
Cular movement may cause the bone
10 break
A bone may be broken anywhere
throughout its length or it may have
just a little corner broken off one of
its ends. The longer bones of the ex-
tremities are Of course more often
fractured than the shorter and irregu-
lar bones.
Fractures often accompany sprains
and dislocations and II Is important
that such injuries should be seen by
physician so as TO learn whether or
not fracture also exists. as the prop
ar treatment of the case depends upon
this knowledge
Dangers.
Some of the dangers of fractured
bones are the Injuries to the surround
ing structures. as rupture of blood yes
sells. tearing of nerves, and puncture
of organs. as of the lung in frac-
lures of the ribs. In fractures of the
skull the bleeding. although often
slight, may be within the skull and
cause death by pressing upon some
vital part of the brain. The infection
following compound fractures may re-
suit in a general blood poisoning and
death
As bone that has heen fractured
Is weaker than normal fo- number
of months. even after the six to eight
weeks usually considered necessary
for its healing. the part should be used
carefully in order TO prevent a second
fracture.
The Diagnosis.
The diagnosis of a fracture is some
times very easy. as when long bone
is broken near its middle and the limb
bends at that point. When a long
bone is broken near its end or when a
small irregular bono Is broken. it is
sometimes very difficult without the
assistance of an X-ray photograph to
tell whether or lot the bone Is frac-
tured. Some of the orner symptoms
which help to diagnose n broken bone
are pain which is rather acute and be-
comes very sharp on any attempt at
movement This pain is little differ
ent from the more dull ache of a dis
location. When the ends of a broken
bone rub against each other there Is a
peculiar grating sensation that can be
felt and sometimes heard This is
called bony crepitus. The broken frag-
meEts should not be moved back and

be remembered except by physicians
and druggists or those familiar with
drugs. SO it is best to procure the

In the preventive treatment of poi
Poning We must remember to keep al!
poisons in the household locked up in
some closet or drawer, so as TO guard
against children getting hold OF
them. They should be kept in a sepa-
rate place from other medicines in the
house. as it has often happened that
some person has been taken sick in
the night and going TO The medicine
chest, by mistake has taken some poi
son instead of the remedy intended.
1t is dangerous practice to put pol
son fly paper. rat poison. etc. around
where there is possibility of children
reaching them. Many cough RENE
dies. most soothing sirups and head
ache powders contain large amounts
of poison and should never be taken
unless prescribed by physician. They
usually only relieve the symptoms
and do not counteract the cause of the
trouble
There are a good many poisons that
have two ways Of producing their bad
effects: l. Chronic action. where the
results come from taking small doses
of the substance during long Pc
riod. .. Acute action. where the re-
suits are seen promptly and follow a
large dose taken at one time. The
chronic results are often just as inju-
rious and more fatal than those caused
by the acute poisoning. but il is only
the acute poisoning that one would be
called upon to treat as first aid.
There are some methods or princi-
pies of treatment which should be re-
membered for all poiSons. One which
hardly needs to be mentioned but
which is very important is 10 stop the
taking of the poison at once. This Is
best illustrated by impressing upon
ones mind the Importance OF moving
to the fresh air person who had
been found unconscious from gas in a
room The next point to remember IS
to remove as much of the poison as
possible. in case where it has been
taken into the stomach. so as to pre-
vent its absorption into the system.
This is done by causing the patient to
yomit. or by washing out his stomach

which may be irreparable. An Arizona

were no better. for l found the toast
very constipa,ing.
a friend persuaded me to quit the
old coffee and the starchy breakfast
foods. and use Postum and Grape Nuts
instead. l shall never regret taking
his advice. l began using them three
months ago.
