II you attempted to dress face burns you
might stop the pain, but at the same time
you would not heal the burn properly and a
scar would result that would disfgure you
for the remainder of your days.
Nothing that can possibly be contaminated
should go near burn. Rags and oils ana
-four and such things are all right to stop the
pain, but the chances are they may not be
entirely germ-free. Keep boric acid in the
house for Just an emergency and
case Of burns dust this over the injured
place.
When blisters occur they should be opened.
but care should be taken in pricling them. A
darning needle is all right, but it should be
cleansed from all possible germs first by
holding 1t in a blaze Whether dressing your
own burns or those OF another, wash your
hands thoroughly and clean the nails, as this
will frequently prevent germs that are always
more or less on the hands from getting into
the burn.
After pricking the blister mop the water in
1t with absorbent cotton and powder with the
boric acid powder.

Why BABY TALK Is Harmful

TSHE use of the words "cute," cunning"
1 x and. "old-fashioned" as applied TO
children, although they are hoary with
antiquity, are serious, evidences of the exist
ence of a real evil 1t is of great Importance
to the development Of child that it should
be surrounded with everything that Is help
full, and modern science is laying especial
stress on the help that lies in the expecta-
tion of good things. 1t is common thing
to hear the parent or other relative Of a
fairly intelligent child quoting as funny
story" some sentence of the child's in which
he or she has used a long word, although
the word may have been rightly used.
AS many such stories are told before the
children themselves this fatal error has two
dangers, either that the child may become
conceited and desirous of showing of. in
which case it will get hold Of all the long
words possible and use them whether they
have any meaning or not; or else, that the
child will fail to develop the use of proper
words for fear of being laughed at. 1t is
not right to laugh at child at any time.
but to laugh at child for doing right is SO
obvious an injustice that it is a wonder 1t
continues at all.
Closely allied with this is the mistake of
speaking to children in way far less gram

How to Care for BURNS

IT very frequently happens that the shock
resulting from burns proves as serious or
even more serious than the burn itself,
and physicians who are called in such emer-
geneies devote their energies and skill to as
sisting the victim in recovering from the
shock.
A coal may burn deeply through the flesh
and muscles and yet not cause as great
shock as a burn that extends over a larger
area, but merely burns the skin and does not
injure the flesh and muscles.
Nearly every one knows that oils and -four
prevent pain In the case of most burns, and
they apply 1t, but they are not aware thai
cleanliness and great care to keep out germs
are the most important things OF all. While
fire kills the germs about the wound, 1t
does not prevent others from getting in and
thereby doing great damage.
In case of serious burn, make no attempt
to dress IL yourself, but call in doctor. And
