DAINTiNESS IN SERVING TEA
Small Things That Count For Much

noon Function.

AS young women are so often asked
to pour tea for their friends who are
entertaining, they should realize what
a difference It makes how the tea is
served. If this Is done in a careless
manner the guests have always the
feeling that something may at any
moment be upset, and the quiet and
repose. which is an essential element
in that most peaceful function. is lost.
It is well for the person who pours
the tea to rearrange the tray before
the arrival of the guests, so that each
piece is just where she is accustomed
to have 1t, otherwise she is apt to FUN.

General Effect Of Cold.
The systemic or general effect of
cold upon the body follows a very SIM
liar course to its effect upon a single
part. There Is first pain and uneasi-
ness, then drowsinesS and numbness,
and finally Inconsistencies, which
continues until death if the condition
is permitted to progress.
Treatment of the effect of cold upon
the whole body should follow the same
general principles as when only a
small part is affected. The tempera-
ture of the body must be raised very
slowly and the circulation restored
cautiously AS the reaction progresses
sti1nulants, as black coffee or aromatic
spirits of ammonia. etc. may be given
in small quantities, but not repeated

may be given. Be sure to remember
to keep the patient out of a warn

until reaction has been we'll estab

Avoid exposing the patient to cold

warm by covering It with warmed
blankets or covers of any kind. Place
around him hot water bottles, any bot

Frost Bites

The results Of cold depend moro
upon the emergency treatment than
do those Of burns. Sudden chilling of
the body. especially when overheated.
may cause sudden death from a rapid
lessening of the amount of blood in
the brain. Death may also be caused
by the slow effect of cold as in cases
of freezing to death. The local effect
of cold is to lower the resistance Of
the part and so favor Inflammation
and Infection. In some cases where
the tissues have been frozen for some
time they are so nearly killed that
gangrene follows and the part is de-
stroyed.
In order to prevent freezing of the
exposed parts of the body keep the
blood circulating in them by continu-
GUS movement and friction by rubbing
and slapping with the hands.
The severe local effect of cold is
known as frost-bite. The low tenn
perature depresses or slows the cir
culation in the part exposed and If this
continues until complete stoppage of

First Symptoms of Freezing.
The first symptoms of freezing are
tingling and sharp stabbing pains,
usually of short duration, then numb
ness and sense of weight and les
sened ability to movement In the
later stages We get less of all sensa-
ton, bleaching Of the part and, finally,
hardness of the tissues, and the part
feels cold to the touch.
Restoring the Vitality.
In some cases, even after the part
has been frozen for a considerable
time, the vitality may be restored in it
by proper care and treatment. and, on
tle other hand, cases where the parts
have not been really frozen may ter
inmate in gangrene on account of
some unskillful or all-advised treat
ment. The treatment of a frozen part
is, of course, to thaw it out and re-
store the circulation Of the blood in
it, This must be done very slowly by
gently rubbing the part with snow or
ice or dipping the part in ice water.
This should be done in cold room.

There are few people who at one

was injured, or when some emergency
case arose. 1t Is unfortunate how few
know what to do to aid the unlucky

"A great amount of good can be done

lessening the duration and degree Of
