but it is sometimes felt while one is
applying bandage or splint.
Make the Patient as Comfortable az
Possible.
All 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 a 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 Sc
rious fracture.
Compound Fractures.
In compound fractures. never touch
the wound in the skin with dirty hands
or put dirty cloths over II. Treat 1t
the same as a laceration or 4 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 a cloth ste,-
lie has been given under wounds Of
the skim. Avoid wiring directly across
the wound but rather wash from its
margin outward i'm all directions.
SpIints.
In treating fractures of the eXtreEli-
ties, splints may be made of any stiff
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 so that the splint will put equal
pressure on all parts of the limb when
tied to it. This packing may be made
from rags. handkerchiefs. 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 ii steady. 4 broken leg
can be strapped to the other leg which
acts as splint.
Methods of improvising stretchers
on which to carry patients with bro
ken legs will be taken up under the
general discussion of transportation
of the sick and injured.-William II.

Beef in Chicago is still about at its

Taking a list of fourteen commodi-

1t would seem that the top prices
were hit in January. A number of
commodities reached prices then
which they have v since returned

These market prices, although in
fuenced by speculation, usually indi-
cate the true level of values In the

OF the commodities chosen it will

none have reached new high levels

TOFRU|T CROPS BY FROST
Cold Causes Devastation In ILL
nois, Michigan and Missouri.
HEAVY FALL IN KENTUCKY
Area of Remarkably Low Tempera-
ture Extends as Far South as
CarOlinas-Latest Snowfall Ever
Recorded in Illinois.

Chicago, Ill.-The third killing
frost has spread over the West n
Northwest, destroying the remnant OF
the fruit and berry crops. The loss
was estimated at $20,000.000, Mich
igan, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin. In
diana, Missouri, Minnesota and Ne
braska being the chief sufferers.
Michigan lost peaches, grapes,
pears, plums and Strawberries. The
big loss in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri
has been apples. 1t had been snow
ing and freezing for forty-eight hours
over the entire territory.
Forecaster Cox reported a mini
mum temperature of twenty-seven
and a maximum of thirty-eight.
The situation was designated by
Mr.. Cox as one of the most serious In
his experience. The only chances for
a supply of fruit that he could foresee
were in the Colorado districts hi
those west of Colorado, with a posi-
BILE chance that some fruit in Mis-
souri, will be saved by smudging.
80 far as the fruit is concerned 1t
will be a serious and perhaps a total
loss from here west" he explained.
''The cold is going into Ohio to COM
plete the ruin which is general north
of Central Illinois and as far south
as Kentucky and Tennessee. The
freeze extended westward and north
westward up through the Dakotas and
down through Iowa, Missouri, Kansas
and Oklahoma to the foothills of the
Rockies. The fruit suffered much
from the first freeze, and this n
will finish killing what had not been
killed already"
Only once for the entire month OF
April for any previous year on record
has the temperature been so cold, and
that was on April /, 1899, when the
mercury dropped to nineteen de-
grees.
The snowfall in Central Illinois was
three inches, according to the Wealth
er Bureau. Never before has there
been more than a trace of snow re-
corded after April Is in that region.
Reports from the entire Northwest
indicate that barley, oats, rye and
corn were badly damaged, but the
soil still is in fine condition, and 1t
is not too late for reseeding.
The loss to fruit in Michigan is
estimated at half a crop by William
Eschrich, a Milwaukee nurseryman.
Tree fruits will suffer heavily, but
strawberries and other ground fruits
are protected by snow.
Snow fell lightly all day at Burling-
ton, Iowa.

HEARST ENDORSES A F
Calls at the White House and Then
Issues a Remarkable Statement.

Washington, D. civilian Ran
dolph Hearst, former aspirant for the
Democratic nomination for the Presi-
dency, issued a remarkable statement
over his own signature, in which he
unqualifedly indorses Mr.. Taft. In
doing so he also criticises in severest
terms the Administration of President
Roosevelt, and, in SO many words,
warns the American Nation against a
renewal of the political domination
of the former President.
Hearst called at the White House
and spent a half hour with the Presi-
dent in the executive Office. Upon
leaving, Hearst said he had called
merely to pay his respects to Mr.. Taft,
whom he said he admired. Later he
issued his Endorsement Of the Taft
Administration, saying that Taft is
doing what Roosevelt should have
done.

New York City.-Wheat, corn, cot
ton, some of the metals, and those OF
the other commodities which lend
themselves to speculation have been
declining for the past few weeks,
some of them sharply, and the poor
consumer, who has seen the cost OF
living go up steadily since the panic
period, is beginning to hope that the
crest OF high prices has been reached
and that most of the necessities OF
life may get back again to something
like real values.
Flour Steadily Declining.
There are indications that the back
ward slide has begun. Flour has
gone down Is cents a barrel since
January. and s1.10 since its highest
price of last year, and east side bak-
ers have increased the size of their
loaves- Consumers are now getting
two pounds two n of bread for
seven cents. A short time ago they
got only two pounds for the same
money. This results in the saving
of thousands of dollars to the poor.
1--WE have increased the weight OF
loaves as much as we can" said Jacob
Book, of 159 East Houston street,
president of the Boss Bakers Assocfa-
ton.
It is estimated that the increased
weight in the loaves will make a diff
ference of $4,000 a day to east side
consumers.
