will have city staked out while the

telephone. The Americans passion is
for industry, the Englishman's for
dominance; the American is an engi.

This passion for controlling things
rather than doing them, touches every
part of the Englishman's life It is
his opinion first, and something else

American. We are orthodox in a neg

POiSOning-Preventive
and Remedial Measures

In the preventive treatment of poi
Boning we must remember to keep all
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 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 a dangerous practice to put poi
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 a physician. They
usually only relieve the symptoms
and do not counterfeit the cause of the
trouble
There are a good many pOisons that
have two ways of producing their bad
effects: 1. Chronic action, where the
results come from taking small doses
of the substance during a long pc
Rod. 2 Acute action, where the re-.
suits are seen promptly and follow
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 it is only
the acute poisoning that one would be
called upon to treat as first aid.
There are some methods or princi-
pies CT treatment which should be re
membered for all poisons. One which
hardly needs to be mentioned but
which is very important is to stop the
taking of the poison at once. This Is
best illustrated by impresstng upon
ones mind the importance OF moving
to the fresh air a person who had
been found unconscious from gas in
room. The next point to remember is
20 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
yomft, or by washing out his stomach.
NOtn4NAAS may be SouSSu IL
ways. 1. Sticking finger far back
into the throat 2. Giving teacppful
of warm water with a teaspoorlful OF
powdered mustard stirred into it. s.
Teaspoonful doses of wine or strip Of
specac. 4. Large amounts of luke
warm salt water.
The third point to think of is to
give the antidote If the substance
taken Is known. 1t is not TO be ex-
pected that the list OF antidotes can
be remembered except by physicians
and druggists or those familiar with
drugs, so it is best to procure the
list from your physician or druggist

HORTICULTURE
INJURIOUS ELM-LEAF BEETLE
Prompt Action Necessary If This Pest
Is Eradicated Before Trees Are
Dana ged.

No one who has elm trees infested
with beetles should trust to natural
checks to eliminate them. The trees
should be thoroughly sprayed as soon
in the season as the first sign of
beetle feeding is seen of the leaves,
and arsenate Of lead at the rate of 8
pounds in 100 gallons of water should
be applied
1t is important that this spraying
should be prompt and very thorough,
the object being to kill off the beetles
before they lay their eggs. For this
reason the strong mixture is advised,
that its action may be prompt and the
injury to the leaves minimiZed.
All beetles must feed before they
lay eggs, and there is usually period
Of about two weeks between the time
when the first beetles are seen on
the leaves and the time when the first
egg mass is noticed. Earlier spraying
is not advised because the foliage in
creases in size SO rapidly at this pc
Rod that leaves sprayed when half
grown may be very imperfectly Gov

the surrounding vessels and tissues,
but 1t is sometimes felt while one Is
applying a bandage or splint
Make the Patient as Comfortable as
Possible.
ALI fractures should be seen by a
physician as soon as possible and the
person giving first aid should not at
tempt to set the broken bone (reduce
the fracture). The emergency treat
ment consists simply in placing the
patient In comfortable position until
the doctor arrives, or, If he has to be
moved, in applying splints and band
ages so that the transportation gives
as little pain as possible to the pa
tient and does not add injury to the
wounded part. 1t sometimes has hap
pened that through the unskillful han.
ding of a simple fracture, the ends of
the bones have been pushed through
the skin thus converting 1t into com,
pound and therefore a much more ST.
rious fracture.
Compound Fractures.
In compound fractures, never touch
the wound in the skin with dirty hands
or put dirty cloths over 1t. Treat 1t
the same as laceration or a cut or
puncture wound. The person giving
first aid must wash his own hands for
at least five minutes with soap and
warm water that has been boiled.
Then clean up the wound in a careful
manner with water that has been
boiled and with clean sterile cloths
(The methods of making cloth steL
ile has been given under wounds OF
the skim. Avoid wiping directly across
the wound but rather wash from its
margin outward in all directions.
spIInts.
In treating fractures of the extremt
ties, spIints may be made of any stir
material as cardboard, pieces OF
boards, limbs of trees, canes, UNI
brellas, etc. These can be bound to
the injured limb by handkerchiefs,
pieces of rope, grape vines or roots OF
some plants. Some padding should be
placed between the limb and the
splint, the hollow places being filled
up 30 that the splint will put equal
pressure on all parts of the limb when
tied to it. This packing may be made
from rags, handkerchief, caps, hay,
straw, moss, etc.
In vases of fracture Of the arm, ii
can be bound to the side of the body
to help keep 1t steady. A broken leg
can be strapped to the other leg which
acts as splint.

on which to carry patients with bro
ken legs will be taken up under the

GROWING THE CATALPA TREE
Mil Be Big Enough for Telephone
Poles or Fence Posts in About
Fifteen Years.

Going in for a catalpa grove next
spring? These trees will grow into
telephone poles and fence posts in
about fifteen years. An acre of ground
will produce from 5000 to 1000 fence
posts and such posts are now worth
about is cents each In fifteen years
they will probably bring twice as
much, as timber is becoming more
scarce every year. One year old trees
are the best to plant. Be sure they
are all healthy and come not too far
from home Buy none but the va
riety known as "Speciosa." You will
have to pay about $40 per 1000 for
good trees,
The ground should be plowed and
nut in as good condition as for corn.
The rows ought to be about eight feet
apart and perfAstly straight. Use a
corn marker to set them just right
After they get a good start cut them
back nearly to the ground Don't be
afraid to cut, as they will be all the
stronger for the pruning. On good
soil where trees are not too much
crowded they will grow from five to
seven feet the first year. Some of the
railroads are going into catalpa grow
ing to get a supply of good trees, but
there is not much danger of overdo-
ing the business.

cred a week later when the beetles
feed, and the application will not be
as effective.
Spraying against the adult beetle
rather than its larva is further urged
because the beetle eats the entire leaf
tissue and therefore gets the poison
whether it is on the upper or under
surface. The larva eats only the cells
of the under side and scrapes to the
middle only In consequence any leaf
not covered on the under side may
mature dozen larvae unframed.
even though the upper surface may be
uniformly and effectively coated.
When we have large trees to deal with
the problem of hitting the underside
of every leaf becomes an almost i'm

covering every leaf on one side or the
other is a comparatively simple mat

What to Do
Before the
Doctor Comes

There is no difference between a
bone that has been fractured and one
that, 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-
CiaRy in elderly people, sudden mus
cular movement may cause the bone
to break.
A bone may be broken anywhere
throughout it's length or it may have
Just a little corner broken off one of
It's ends. The longer bones of the ex-
Eremities are of course more often
fractured than the shorter and irregu-
lar fbones.
Fractures often accompany sprains
and dislocations and 1t is important
that such injuries should be seen by
& physician so as to learn whether or
not,a fracture also exists, as the prop
BIZ 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
Bf organs, as of the lung In frac-
lures of the ribs In fractures Of the
Eknll 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 general blood poisoning and
Heath
AS a bone that has been fractured
Is weaker than normal for a 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 second
fracture
The Diagnosis.
The diagnosis of a fracture is some
times very easy, as when long bone
Is broken near it's middle and the limb
bends at that point. When a long
bone is broken near its end or when
small irregular bone is broken, 1t is
sometimes very difficult without the
assistance Of an X-ray photograph to
tell whether or not the bone is frac-
tured. Some of the other symptoms
which help to diagnose a broken bone
are pain which is rather acute and be-
comes very sharp on any attempt at
movement. This pain is a 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
ments should not be moved back and
forth in attempting to bring out this

Prevention Better Than cure.

Preventive measures are always
more practical than remedies, whether
1t be in fighting crop and fruit pests
or diseases which assault the herds
and focks In fighting fruit pests it
will be a great deal more effective to
remove and destroy the infested fruit
this year than to try to overcome the
pest next year by spraying. This Is
especially true of the cooling moth.
Remove and destroy the worm-eaten
apples as soon as they fall to the
ground, and there will be a great deal
less trouble next year

Remove every dead tree from the
orchard. They are veritable breeding
places for fruit pests.
When spraying do not work with
bare hands. They'll be sore if you do.
Put on pair of rubber gloves.
An orchard will live longer, bear
better and be more profitable by be.
ing well cultivated and enriched.
A light shade is needed now over
almost everything except chrysanthe-
NUNS and some varieties of roses.
Roses recently cut back, taken up
and re-planted must be judiciously
watered at the roots but plentifully
sprayed overhead.
Thin the growths on the dahlias.
One or two good strong shoots will
throw more flowers and better than a
score of crowded ones.
Easter lilies just advancing for
bloom should be fed with liquid ma
nure. changing to clear water when
the buds are well formed.
Now that the fronds on Adiantum
cuneatum are getting heavy and well
developed great care is necessary in
spraying and it is easy to overdo it.
Spraying with nicotine in bright
weather and sprinkling with tobacco
powder when dull are the readiest
methods of destroying black fly in
chrysanthemums.
Bud roses now. Choose healthy
vigorous stock. A very pleasing eff
feet is had by inserting buds of diff.
ferent varieties, generally teas, on the
same stock This makes a fine show.
