In the preventive treatment of poi soning we must remember to keep all poisons in the household locked up in some closet or drawer. so as to guard against children getting hold of them They should be kept in a sepa- rate place from other medicines in the house, as 1t has often happened that some person has been taken sick in the night and going to the medicine chest. by mistake has taken some poi son instead of the remedy intended. It is dangerous practice to put poi son fly paper, rat poison. etc, around where there is possibility of children reaching them. Many cough rene dies. most soothing sirups and head ache powders contain large amounts of poison and should never be taken unless prescribed by physician. They usually only relieve the symptoms and do not counteract the cause of the trouble.
 There are a good many poisons that have two ways of producing their bad effects: 1. Chronic action. where the results come from taking small doses of the substance during long pc riod. ?. Acute action, where the re- suits are seen promptly and follow large dose taken at one time. The chronic results are often just as inju- rious and more fatal than those caused by the acute poisoning, but it is only the acute poisoning that one would be called upon to treat as first aid.
 There are some methods or princi ples of treatment which should be re- membered for all poisons. One which hardly needs to be mentioned put which Is very important Is to stop the taking of the poison at once. This Is best illustrated by impressing upon one's mind the importance or moving to the fresh air a person who hao been found unconscious from gas Tn room. The next point to remember IS to remove as much of the poison as nossible in case where 1t has been taken into the stomach, so as 10 pre- vent it's absorption into the system This is done by causing the patent 10 vomit or by washing out his stomach. Vomiting may be caused in several u,avs L Sticking finger far back into the throat. 2. Giving teacupful of warm water with a teaspoonfui of powdered mustard stirred into it. g. Teaspoonful doses of wine or sirup o' ,neeac. 4. Large amounts Of luke warm salt water.
 The third point to think oi IS to give the antidote If the substance taken is known. It is not to be ex- nocted that the list of antidotes can h., remembered except by physicians and druggists or those familiar with druys so it is best to procure the tIst from your physician or druggist

PoiSOning-Preventive and Remedial Measures

and keep 1t in your medicine chest An antidote is substance which eith. CT unites with the poison and renders 1t less harmful or one that counteracts the effect of the poison on the sys- tenn. In all cases of poisoning be sure 10 save any of the substance taken, if it can be found, or the bottle or box in which ii was contained, or any of the vomited material or excretions of the body, so that they may aid the physician in discovering what has been taken. And lastly, if the pa tient shows much depression or ex- haustiCn or weak heart action, he must be stimulated by whisky or arc matic spirits or ammonia or some- thing similar If very drowsy, he must be aroused every few minutes and not allowed to sleep. If excited or in a convulsion, he must be kept quiet and away from all external stimulations, as noises, bright lights, drafts or cold air etc

Americans vs. Englishmen.

Throw an American out of the win dow and he will land upon his feet. bis hands doing something. Throw an Englishman out of the window and he will land on his hands, his mouth affirming things. Put both into a bowling wilderness, and the American will have a city staked out while the Englishrnan is cleaning the mud off his boots. Put both into a complex Mars. and the Britop will be running the new cosmos while the American is looking for the wire to introduce his telephone The Americans passion Is for industry, the Englishman's for dominance; the American Is an engi- neer. the Englishman a conductor.
 This passion for controlling things, rather than doing them, touches every part of the Englishman's life. It is his opinion first, and something else next, that differentiates him from the American. We are orthodox in a neg ligible sort of way; but We are hetero dox in a negligible sort of way, also. With us an opinion is nothing to mako a fuss over; with an Englishman an opinion is always something to mako q fuss over. AS yet we are really an unopinionated people.-Carl c. Hausen in Smart Set.

sign as serious harm may be done to the surrounding vessels and tissues, but 1t is sometimes felt while one Is applying bandage or splint.
 Make the Patient as Comfortable as
 Possible.
 All fractures should be seen by a physician as soon as possible and the person giving f1rst aid should not at. tempt to set the broken bone (reduce the fracture). The emergency treat ment consists simply in placing the patient In comfortable position until the doctor arrives, or, if he has to be moved, in applying splints and band ages 60 that the transportation gives as little pain as possible to the pa, tent and does not add injury to the wounded part. It sometimes has hap pened that through the unskillful han ding of simple fracture. the ends of the bones have been pushed through the skin thus converting 1t into a com pound and therefore a much more se- rious fracture
 Compound Fractures.
 In compound fractures. never touch the wound in the skin with dirty hands or put dirty cloths over it. Treat 1t the same as laceration or a 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 cloth ste1- He has been given under wounds of the skin). Avoid wiping directly across the wound but rather wash from its margin outward in all directions.
 spllnts.
 In treating fractures of the extremi ties, splints may be made of any stih material as cardboard, pieces of boards, limbs of trees, canes, um- 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 1t. This packing may be made from rags, handkerchiefs, caps, hay, straw, moss, etc.
 In vases of fracture of the arm, 1t can be bound to the side of the body to help keep 1t steady. A broken leg can be strapped to the other leg which acts as a splint.

Managing Husband.

Men are like children; they want managing, although you must never let them dream that you think so. No child likes to be ordered about. no man will endure coercion. But man. aging! It is an art so subtle. so elu- sive, that few women understand even the rudiments of 1t. Sisters mine, let us reason together, says WomAns Life. In every human being there Is . spark of the divine: 1t Is yours to fan that spark into a flame that is managing a man-it Is to get the very best out of him there Is to have, and not two women in ten can do 1t.
 Do not think that there is anything unworthy in managing man-to bring out the best 10 high vocation. Only let us see to 1t that we are worthy of 1t. There arc women who have made angels of men, but at the cost of their own divinity. There Is room for more than one unselfish per son in a family.

w hat to Do Before the Doctor Comes


There is no difference between !. bone that has been fractured and ono that has been broken, although the .eiih fracture Is sometimes used when the bone has been only cracked or spit and not broken entirely apart. fractures are usually caused hy some external force as a blow with a club or fall, but sometimes. espe. eiaiiy Tn elderly people. sudden mus cuiar movement may cause the bone to break.
 A bone may be broken anywhere throughout It's length or 1t may have Just little corner broken of one of It's ends. The longer bones of the CT. tremities are Of course more often fractured than the shorter and irresu. lar bones
 fractures often accompany sprains and dislocations and 1t Is important that such injuries should be seen by physician so as to learn whether or not fracture also exists, as the prop CT treatment of the case depends upon this knowledge.
 Dangers.
 Some of the dangers of fractured bones are the injuries to the surround Ing structures, as rupture of blood yes Sels, tearing of nerves, and puncture or organs, as of the lung in frac- lures of the ribs. In fractures of the skull the bleeding. although often slight, may be within the shull and cause death by pressing upon some vital part of the brain The infection following compound fractures may re- suit in general blood poisoning and death.
 AS bone that has been fractured Is weaker than normal for a number of months, even after the six to eight weeks usually considered necessary for it's healing. the part should be used carefully in order to prevent a second fracture.
 The Diagnosis.
 The diagnosis of a fracture is some times very easy, as when a long bone is broken near It's middle and the limb bends at that point When a long bone is broken near its end or when a small irregular bone Is broken, it Is sometimes very diff cult without the assistance of an X-ray photograph to tell whether or not the bone Is frac- tured Some of the other symptoms which help to diagnose a broken bone are pain which is rather acute and be- comes very sharp on any attempt at movement. This pain is a little differ ent from the more dull ache of dis location. When the ends of a broken bone rub against each other there is a peculiar grating sensation that can be felt and sometimes heard This Is called bony crepitus. The broken frag- ments should not be moved back and forth in attempting to bring out this
