THE POLICY OF FRANKNEss

Much was said at the gathering of Advertising men at Baltimore, about truth in advertising. This is a prin- sciple that this newspaper has always emphasized. It may say som ething more about it soon. It is a principle that is pervading all business life.
 A slump of speculative discourage ment followed the decree in the Min snesota railroad rate cases. Railroad Snen SonpIain bitterly of the fostiI= fty of the public. Business men call for more cooperation, in which the public shall allow the railroads to Inake a fair dividend, and the rail roads shall give the. best possible ser vice at moderate charges, and all shall pull together to boost the com smunity.
 The same policy of frankness that the advertising writers have { been urging, which leads the modern bus iness man to tell just what his goods are, will help remove anti-corporation hostility.
 The old motto used to be, in the language of the mining country, t-'Every man for himself and hold syour cards close to your beIly.'' Now Ia good many people have become fconvinced that some games can best abe played with the cards down on tthe table.
 When a railroad bought up a com tpetitor. the reason formerly assign fed was that the property was want Jed as a feeder" If this was not Hhe real reason, irritation was creat- ed When you are dealing with man who fails to give you the real reason for his action, you view all his acts with suspicion. The same principle prevails in the dealing be- tween the public and the roads.
 The railroad magnate who opens his accounts to the public, who as- signs the real reason for his acts, is going to dissipate existing hostility. The railroads. are suffering now for the sins of the past more than from those of the present

PURE WATER NECESSARY
 FOR ICE MAKING.

The rapid gain in popular favor which artificial ice has made in this country in recent years is shown by the reports of the United States Cen
 In the manufacture of ice for household purposes and for cooling beverages it is important that the water used should meet all the re- quirements of potable water in res pect to Cleanliness and freedom from organic matter and disease germs. Most American manufacturers use distilled water in making ice, in or der to get a pure, transparent pro- duct.
 In the plate system, however, which is becoming more and more popular in this country, it is not nee essary to use distilled water in order to obtain clear ice if suitable appli- elusion of air and solid particles. Though 1t is true that the greater part of the bacteria and mineral mat ters in the raw water are excluded from the frozen plate, there is insuf- Aeient ground for assuming that per rectly from dangerously polluted wa rectly from dangerously polluted wa ters and while it may be conceded that water pure enough for drink ing is pure neough for making ice, it is nevertheless true that too much dependence should not be placed upon the natural purifying powers of fhe freezing process

is back in the throat the person has
swallowed his tongue, so to speak. It
is absolutely essential that the tongue
be drawn forward and kept in that pO-
sition, otherwise it acts as a valve and
prevents air from reaching the lungs.
The tongue may be kept forward BY
grasping with the fingers, tying with
a handkerchief or an elastic around e.
or If necessary a. needle and thread
may be passed through and tied to
some part of the clothing.
Now we are ready for artificial res
piration- This should be preferably
performed out in the fresh air, IN
less the weather is too cold.
Knee1 at the patients head and
grasp the arms below the elbows, fac
ing the body; never knee1 or stand
over the body, as this is a. very a.TIc-
ward position and interferes with the
proper application of artificial respi-
ration.
Draw the arms upward and back
ward until the patients hands touch
the ground or floor behind his head.
and keep in this. position until one,
two three, can he slowly counted.
This movement raises the ribs and
expands the chest, and allows the air
to rush in.
The elbows are then slowly carried
downward, the forearm doubled on
the arm, placed by the side OF the
ment forces the air out Of the lungs
Now rest for few seconds and then
repeat the same movements. These
movements should be repeated regu-
larIy and persistently at the rate Of
16 times to the minute and should be
continued for at least an hour and q
half before giving UP.
During the application Of artificial
respiration the body should be kept
warm by the application Of heat and
blankets. With the return of natural
breathing and beating Of the heart
signs of returning life, friction and
rubbing should be applied, and. as
soon as the patient can swallow hot
drinks, such as tea and coffee or small
doses of Whiskey and hot water may
be given AS soon as regular breath
ing is re-esta blished the patient should
be put in warm bed and kept quiet.

When a person is discovered to be
drowning, call to him in loud voice
that he shall be saved, in order to
prevent weakness from fright. I'm
dress as rapidly and completely as
possible. Do not touch the drowning
person while he isovioIently struggling
in the water, but take the first oppor-
tunity to seize him by the hair, if pos
sibIe, and throw him quickly on his
back. Swim ON your back, towing the
body after you, resting his head on
your chest Hold the head with one
arm, that the other arm and legs may
be free. This position may be main
tanned longer, and body supported
more easily, until further aid from
shore is received, than by breasting
the water in the usual position.
When the current sets from the
land, as in sea bathing, it is better
to adopt the position last described,
and wait aid, than to struggle for
shore against the current.
If a boat is available, the stern or
or bow are the proper places to get
bodies into the boat with the least
danger of capsizing. The patient in
the boat, or ashore, should be placed
with his head lower than the chest,
which may be done by placing the
patient on his back on the seat of
the boat, or on a hillock of sand with
head extended backward and the arms
extended behind the head.
The water must be removed from
the mouth, throat, lungs and stomach.
Water and mucous are best removed
from the mouth by passing the fin
ger to the back of the throat and then
sweeping it forward. To remove the
water from the throat and lungs, the
best way is to grasp the patient
around the waist and raise the body
so that the head and feet hang down.
This position and the pressure of
the hands on the abdomen force the
water out of the stomach and air pas
sages Then lay the person fiat on
his back loosen all tight clothing,

throat and air passages. One of the
most important things to remember
is that usually in such cases the tongue
