I the shoulder so that it Is fairly sta
tionary. as having some one to hold
ii, and pulling down on the arm. The
pull should be steady and considerable
force used, but it must not be jerked
by a sudden pull. Sometimes the
person giving the first aid car get a
better pull and also assist in pushing
the head of the bone into place by re-
moving one of his shoes and placing
his heel under the injured shoulder
n pulling while bracilg himself in
this way. Care must be taken not to
push up under the arm too forcibly,
as there is considerable danger of in
juring the blood vessels and nerves
that pass along under the shoulder.
The Elbow.
The elbow is quite frequently dislo-
Gated as the result of a fall or twist.
The usual kind is to have the bones of
the forearm dislocated backward, but
they may go to either side or both
backward and to n side. This dislos
cation is usually rather difficult to re-
duce and a physician should be seen.
OiSiOCdtiOn OF the lip
The hips are not very frequently
thrown out Of joint and are with diff.
Guilty put back into place. 1t may be
attempted by fixing the hips as solid
ly as possible and pulling down on
the leg. at the same time having an
assistant try to push the head of the
bone towards its normal position. The
muscles around the hip joint are 50
powerful that it is often necessary to
give a general anesthetic in order to
relax the spasm of the muscles which
accompanies every dislocation to a
greater or less degree.
The Knee.
D~islocations at the knee Joint may
take place in any direction. The at.
tempt should be made TO reduce them
by the same general methods as In
d~islocations of the hip, but this usual
ly is rather difficult to accomplish.
The Ankle.
Dislocations of the ankle are in
clined to be somewhat complicated
and usually it is better to have the
patient see a physician at once rather
than first attempt to reduce it without
his aid.
The Toes.
The joints of the toes are not often
disiocated, but this does sometimes oc-
cur. They are usually fairly easy to
reduce by simply pulling them back
into place.
If you are not successful in putting
a bone back in place after two OF
three trials, 1t is best not to attempt
it any longer, but have the patient
see a doctor. If the patient has to be
moved any distance. b%andage or splint

possible, as this will make the journey
much more comfortable for him

London Goes to Bed Early


Contrary to an opinion commonly
held in New York, London does not
obtain relief from the effects of the
e~arly-closing laws by forming supper
clubs. There were such clubs fifteen
years ago, but nowadays there are no
supper clubs in London where the
thirsty can with slight formality of
initiation get drinks after 1890 a. m,
when all restaurants and saloons are
closed ordinarily. the closing hour on
Saturday night being midnight and on
Sunday night eleven o'clock.
The police long ago made the life
Of supper clubs impossible and there
is not one now in existence in Lon
don, says the New York Suns Lon
den correspondent. The average Lon
doner when his restaurant and pub"
closes must go home or to his club,
and London clubs with a single ex-
ception are closed at two a. m. One
club keeps open until four a. m. Fake
clubs cannot exist nowadays.
The police permit two clubs in the
vicinity of Leicester square, the he, -rt

is a p~retention that bantams are profit

miserable trucking to the almighty
dollar. 1t may be, and doubtless is, a
fact that bantams are valuable fowls
to keep solely for profit, considering
the small amount of food they con.

generally bred, and misery indeed

for pets, do lay eggs-just as good II

licious. So they can justly claim a

Satin Suits for Fall.

If the college girl is beginning to
choose her autumn outfit now, il
would be well for her to brush up on
what a few of the prevailing modes
will bring.
Satin is cropping out again in the
tailor-mades and is used literally for
ornamentation.

Some bit of color here or there
makes their most serious trimmings.
A few buttons and a little strap
ping usually serve for the entire fin
ish of the coat.
A bit of rare old lace Is a wonder
full brightener for a satin suit.
Satin costs little more these days
than handsome woods or even cottons,
and they are the very acme of smart
ness for afternoon suits.

What to Do
Before the
Doctor Comes

In order TO facilitate our moving
about and performing our various du-
ties, the body has been supplied with
numerous movable joints. These are
primarily of two kinds, hinge joints,
which allow motion only backward
and forward in N place, as at the
knee; and ball and socket Joints
which allow motion, to a certain ex-
tent, in all directions, as at the Shout
der. The movements of the Joints are
accomplished by the action of the
various muscles that stretch across
them and are fastened at a greater or
less distance on each side. Some
muscles run across two or more
joints, and SO in a measure assist in
controlling the movement in each of
them.
The most common injury to a joint
is a sprain. 1t is usually caused by a
sudden twist OF wrench of n of the
bones that goes to make up the Joint.
1t may, however, be produced by slow
over-bending (extension or ~flexion) of
the joint as when a person is trying to
bend backward as far as he can or
take some unusual position.
The degree of the injury done is
variable and depends upon the kind of
sprain, the direction of the force ap-
piled, and what joint is affected. The
effect may be only slight so that the
pain subsidies in a short time, or it
may be that enough damage has been
done so that a ~dislocation at the joint
occurs, a d~islocation being merely a
severe sprain that has torn enough
ligaments and structures around the
joint to allow one of the bones to
slip out of its place.
SprainS are more frequent in young
and middle-aged adults. The most
common locations are at the ankle
and wrist joints.
Severe sprains, if not treated prop
erly, are liable to cause a permanent
limitation of motion (ankylosis) In the
joint, or disability for a long period
of time. 1t very often happens that
a partial ~dislocation or a fracture of
the end of one of the bones occurs at
the same time as the sprain, so that
all severe sprains and minor ones that
do not improve promptly should be
seen by a physician.
Pain is always produced by a
sprain; it is usually very severe, often
causing the patient to faint. Some
times movement of the joint is pos
sible in some direction in which 1t
was not possible before the accident.
At times the whole joint may appear
loose and relaxed. In a very short
time swelling takes place and then the
pain which may have been lessened
for a time, r Movement of the
joint now may be greatly lessened or
prevented altogether. 1t is very de-
sirable that the physician zee the
