What to Do
Before the
Doctor Comes

There are few people who at one
time or another in their lives have
not been present when some person
was injured. or when some emergency
case arose. II is unfortunate how few
know what TO do to aid the unlucky
person until a physician can arrive.
A great amount of good can be done
by the proper emergency treatment
IN saving the strength of the patient,
lessening the duration and degree Of
his suffering and, in cases where the
skin has been broken, in preventing
the injured part from becoming more
infected than it was at the time Of
the accident
Although 1t is very necessary to
know what to do in case of emer-
gency, il is quite as important to
know what not TO do 1t has often &C.
CURED that because of some Had
vised emergency treatment the inju-
ries of the unfortunate person, which
were serious enough at first, have
been made more severe.
In Serious Cases Send for the Doctor.
Two points, which, although not a
part OF the treatment itself, in all
serious cases at least should not be
overlooked, are first, don't forget to
send for the nearest physician at once
SO that he may be coming while you
are proceeding with the treatment,
and second, don't get excited or fright
ened but keep your wits about you,
as you may do something in your

and degree. Death is usually the re-

Of burns and scalds not fatal are de-

Preventive Measures.
AS in the treatment OF all condi-
tons we should study the proven

few points that should be men

liable to occur, as from explosions

Shortage of Food.

There is no danger of shortage of
food supplies in this country If the
farmers can get remunerative prices
for their crops. Under the regime OF

Now that the population has so far
increased as to equalize the supply
and demand and reduce our exportable
surplus, creating better home markets
and better prices. We may be sure OF
more farms and better cultivation.

Spraying Cucumbers.

Spraying muskmelons and cucum-
bers with Bordeaux mixture is not an
absolute preventive of the dreaded
blight, but it helps to hold the disease
in check 1t must be remembered that
spraying is a preventive measure and
not a cure. so the first application
should be made about the time the
plants begin to throw out runners
Several applications should be made
before it is impossible to drive through
the fields. Four pounds of copper sui
phate. six pounds of unslacked lime
and so gallons OF water is a desirable
formula for this purpose.

and he promised to take good care of
it, This he did and enjoyed a part of
the evening by sitting in the machine
He was a little inquisitive and started
to look the, engine over. He was most
successful in this and with him on the
seat, the machine started down the

chine and did well until the bottom
was reached and the speed slackened.
