Overhauling the Treasury Building

Fifteenth street; frieze windows will
be placed on the third floor, and a
general adjustment of bureaus and
divisions will be made to facilitate the
work The treasury department has
been seriously overcrowded for a num-
Der of years. One of the very first inn
provements was the elimination from
the building Of the branch printing
Office, with its combustible inks, oils,
etc. With the great Fifteenth street
steps removed, a fine entrance at
grade will be provided for the en-
ployes, and count viii be kept of the
people entering and leaving the build
ing, which at the present time seems
to be impossible At the present time
the employees are obliged tn carry
their clothing, hats, rubbers. up1brel-
las and everything OF that character

ers are imperative. It will certainly
be $3.50. 600 mighty well expended, for
in the present condition OF the treas

keep 1t clean or to run it on business

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. It is unfortunate how few
know what to do to aid the unlucky
person until a physician can arrive.
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 II was at the time OF
the accident
Although it Is very necessary to
know what to do in case of emer-
gency, 1t 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,
az you may do something in your
haste that may add further TO the
injuries or suffering of the patient.
The seriousness Of burns and scalds.
OF course, depends upon their extent
and degree Death is usually the re-
suit II two-thirds Of the body's sur
face is affected by only very slight
burn or If one-third of the surface is
affected by burn that destroys the
tissues below the skin. Other results
OF burns and scalds not fatal are de-
formities caused by destruction of the
tissues and parts and the contraction
of the scar tissue that is formed in
healing. and infection of the part
which may go on to a general blood
poisoning.
Preventive Measures.
AS in the treatment of all condi-
tions we should study the proven
tive measures first. Here are a
few points that should be men
toned. In all places, as labora-
tories and foundries, where fire is
liable to occur. as from explosions
OF apparatus or from furnaces, large
blankets made entirely of wool should
be kept in easily accessible places to
be used to throw over any person
whose clothes may have caught fire.
No persons, especially little children.
should be allowed. under any circum-
stances to cover their garments with

Note how the price has scared. In
1907 hair was worth only about twen-
ty-f1ve cents a pound, wholesale. and
We imported only 56,132 pounds of it,
while in 1909 we brought in 445,733
pounds, with the price at something
more than seventy cents. Such a rate
of growth in face of so rapid an in
crease in price is almost unprecedent-
ed in other lines of commerce and is
another illustration that woman wants
what she wants when she wants it and
is going to have it-expense be
hanged
Our diplomatic representative leaves
us in the dark as to what woman in
China is doing for hair If the trade
keeps on. she will certainly be bald in
course of time. He pays a compli-
ment, however, to the genius of the
Chinese artist by remarking that Chi
nese hair is treated at home in various
ways so as to match almost any tex
ture desired" leaving us to conclude
that the diversity of color not infre-
quently noted on the same head Is
due to lack of circumspection on the
part of American women.

Frost Bites

The results Of cold depend more
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
culatlon in the part exposed and II this
continues until complete stoppage of
the blood has occurred. the part may
become white and freeze solid.
First symptoms Of Freezing.
The first symptoms of freezing are
tingling and sharp stabbing pains,
usually of short duration, then numb
ness and a 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 par
has been frozen for a considerable
time. the vitality may be restored in i
by proper care and treatment. and, OF
the other hand. cases where the part!
have not been really frozen may ter

LURE Of PLAINS DRAWS
9-YEAR-OLD FROM HOME
Frantic Parents of William Butt
Ask Police to Help
Locate Their Son

Despite the fact that his mother
deprived him of his clothes and at
tired him in a 'nightie," William Butt
9 years old, son Of William D. Butt
auditor for the Hollenbeck hotel, dom
ned a suit of khaki and ran away from
his home at 244 South Bunker Hill
avenue Thursday afternoon. He failed
to return to his home yesterday and
his parents last night asked the police
to assist in finding him.
Several days ago the lad told his
mother he wanted to go to Arizona
and live with the cowboys. She told
him he was too young to leave home
and advised him to be content under
the parental roof until he grew older
Instead of being satisfied the boy de-
clared he would run away and &c
where he could live the life of q
plainsman. The mother, fearing he
would leave the house, took his clothes
and compelled the lad to wear night
gown.
The lad eluded his mother and at
tired himself in a khaki Indian suit
which his father gave him for q
Christmas present. Then, bareheadeo
and barefooted, the youngster escaped
from the house, and since that time
no trace of him has been found.
His parents are frantic over his dis
appearance and are making every ef-
fort to locate him.

HARDY JURY BRINGS IN
VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER
Long Deliberations Result in Con-
viction on Moore Killing

After being out for over thirty-siX
hours, the jury in the case Of Hal e.
Hardy, charged with the murder of
William Moore last December, filed
into Judge Willis court yesterday
morning and returned a verdict of
manslaughter against the prisoner. The
date of his sentence was set for June
20 at $3.50 o'clock.
Hardy's defense on the charge was
that he was temporarily insane from
the long and continued use Of intoXl-
cants when he shot Moore, who OPP
Grated a lunch stand in this city prior
to his death.
The testimony showed that he had
applied to Moore at a late hour Of
the night for something to eat and
that Moore had refused to serve him
on the ground that he had nothing
left. Hardy went away and returned
shortly afterward. The men quar-
relied and Hardy shot him. The con-
tention was that he was not aware Of
his actions when he committed the
deed.
