Talk Of Boosting
 Lunch Room Prices

Panic seized the hungry throngs that patroniZe the one-arm chair restaur- ants of the city, today, when the story gained widespread circulation that our old arch-enemy, High Cost of Living, was about to invade the precincts from which, up till now, he has been effec- tuaI1y barred.
 The story is that all five cent sand wiches may be doubled in price, and that the dishes and sandwiches that hitherto have sold for one dime are to be given a 50 per cent. raise, to IS cents
 Coming on the heels of a similar boost iD the prices of sandwiches in New Haven lunch rooms, the story gained considerable credence, and one lunch room proprietor admitted that R conference of several of the busiest Of these eating emporiums has been ralled to consider the advisabilfty of concerted action
 Should the contemplated rise in prices become effective, it will no doubt mean a rush for the more mod sse tzDle restaurants. Many a pa s-on of the lunch rooms has been eating on one arm of his chair so ong he will find it difficult to be- some accustomed to thrust his knees beneath a regular table. This diff .ulty might be obviated, as one of the unch room diners suggested, by emu ating the old Roman fashion of eat ng from a position sideways to the able. with one arm resting on< the lapery- Gradually the chair could pc shifted until the lunch room epi- sur9. became accustomed to eating in he good old way.

FIRST AID TO THE INJURED
By DIR. H. Fl. HARTUNG, Copyright by H. H. Hartung)

quire the imm ediate attention of a. surgeon They frequently contain for efgn bodies such as bullets, slivers, etc., which must be removed, but only by competent surgeon. The wound or entrance should be thoroughly cleansed, and an, antiseptic compress applied, and the patient removed to place where he can receive proper surgical treatment
 How to Cleanse Wounds.
 The first thing the operator should do is to thoroughly cleanse his own hands. To do this, bare the arms to the elbow and use boiled water. Scrub the hands and arms thoroughly for at least 10 minutes, using antiseptic soap where same can be obtained. Take a nail brush and scrub about the fin ger nails and in the crevices. Have the finger nails cut very closely Re move all rings from the fingers Af- ter scrubbing, pour some of the boil ed water over the hands and arms, and rinse off the soap. Finally, wipe them with. a little ether or alcohol where same can be obtained. Dry the hands with a piece of surgical gauge or lint. After washing the surgically clean dressing material The safest method is to keep the hands covered with several folds of surgical gauge or lint and thus avoid all contact of the fingers with the wound
 If the wound is covered with grease, soot or dirt, a simple and effective method of cleansing is to moisten a portion of the surgical gauge with turpentine or benzine and wipe the wound.
 No one but a trained surgeon should ever attempt to stitch a wound. The use of adhesive plaster must be confined to the surgeon, except in very small wounds, or in cases where it's use seems imperative
 Care should be taken never to ban dage wound too tightly, unless it is necessary to stop bleeding.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Different Hair Treatments
Q BY BLANCHE BEACON

Nowadays, with beauty parlor on every corner and each and every one of these parlors shrieking to the world that their individual and pri- vate method of curing badness, dan druff, etc, is the best, it might be well to consider a few of these pseudo cures.
 Obviously, they cannot all be equal ly beneficial. On the other hand, one cure might help a certain scalp, and not touch another
 Take electricity, for instances At one time it was used more than it is now, and at that time nobody stopped to think about it's probable effect upon his particular head. A good deal of damage is now traceabIe to the fad. At present it is still used, but less generally. My advice is, that if you want to try it, go slow! Better ask your doctor what he thinks of it first. ,-
 Vacuum caps have always been ob- jects of distrust to me. The treat ment seems too radical altogether.

strange rooms cosy and bright with a few yards of the new patterned goods. As dorrnitOry rooms always lack ade- uuate closet space, lowered denim for covering hat and shirt waist boxes and a pillow or two should be provid- ed. Goods of the same, or similar design, in chintz or silk should be girl finds so necessary in her bed-sit-s ting room.
 The dresser essentials, like pin tray and cushion, writing pads and throws, have goods of still different materials with similar designs of exactly the same patterns.
 The be& of these new goods are practically everlasting, for new ways of dyeing have been discovered that make their colors fast and some mills wash and press every piece of goods can be insured against soap and sun shine.
 Furniture that you are tired of will seem like new if covered with some of the bright new effects and the old hangingS, that look plain and dull be- side the new stuffs, may be frightened too.

The Treatment of Wounds, Concluded
 The directions below conclude the lesson on wounds and their treat ment. The directions are so simple that they can easily be remembered and should be known by everyone, as wounds are the commonest of all hu- man ills.
 Sp.inters-The danger of splinters and thorns under the skin or finger nails Is that, at the time of inser- ton, they carry 8 certain amount of foreign body, inflammation and sup puration set ins with a. result that pus or matter collects under the skin, and this might result in blood poi soning.
 To remove a splinter or thorn, slip the point of a penknife under the protruding end of the splinter, catch ing it firmly against the blade with the thumb-nail and draw it out, or by using a pair of fine pincers. If the end of a splinter does not protrude, the skin over it can be pricked away with the point of a. needle until the end of the splinter is uncovered, then it can be easily removed. If the splinter is under a f1nger-nail,e re- move in the same way. If, however, it is broken off under the nail, the nail over the splinter should be scrap ed thin and a little V-shaped piece of the nail cut out over the splinter, when it can be readily drawn out
 Treatment for bruises and contu- sions-Bruises or contusions are us- ua1ly slight and simple affairs. There are no cuts or bleeding to be treat ed They can be treated by making cold or hot water applications, or by applying compressions soaked in hot or cold water or some mild antisep- tic solution Bandage, and keep the parts at rest.
 Treatment of punctured wounds Punctured wounds are frequently very severe and dangerous on account of internal or deep-seated bleeding with injuries to the internal organs, ac- companied by severe shock and re-

 One is almost tempted to make a sofa from an old chair, and a chair from a barrel, as Godey's magazine used to direct our grandmOtherS to do in order to have a valid excuse to riot through the art departments of the stores, selecting upholstering.

GIFTS BOUGHT IN
 EUROPE MISSING
 WHEN TRUNKS COME

Much mystery still continues to en- shroud the disappearance in transit of many valuable gifts purchased in Europe for Bridgeport friends by Miss Emily Mcguire, of Warner Brothers Company, resident at 138 Garden street
 Miss Emily, daughter of Mrs. Ellen Mcguire returned to this city last Sat- urday with her mother from an ex- tended trip abroad. They had several trunks, but were much surprised up- on receiving them at their home 70 find the contents of one entirely miss ing. Though they were inclined to blame the local congressman, it later became known that the trunk in ques- ton had been broken in transit and had to be tied with ropes.
 The police Investigating the matter are inclined to believe that the con tents may have been abstracted in New York, either by custom officials or dishonest baggage employees. In the meantime valuable gifts to local people are withheld.

SEA SICKNESS SPOILED
 PROSPECTIVE CAREER OF
 RUNAWAY -ERRAND BOY

Oh, for life on the Ocean Wave. Oh, for Home on the Rolling Deep!
 This was the refrain sung by Ray Kelly, the 16 year old boy, who dis appeared from his home in Gilman street, Monday night, when he quit his work at Kline Brothers store. But it is not the song he sang later. ac- cording to the reports of Officer Cliff ford Gorgas, detailed to search for him upon the complaint of his par entG.
 Gorgas learned that he had told youthful acquaintances that he would join the navy and become a. rover upon the seven seas. It was later ascertained that he had slowed away upon a tug bound for New York.
 He returned yesterday via the unvarnished route after recovering from the most severe attack of sea- sickness which the tug boat sailors have seen on their boat. Kelly would rather die than again brave the bound ing main.

also know of a very sad case of par tiaI loss of hair from the use of one
 To my mind the best and safesf treatment is the old-fashioned finger massage. This should be given dur ing the shampoo and drying process, and after the hair is dry. I would not consider for one moment patron izfng a beauty-parlor where the maid who does the shampoofng does not put the necessary emphasis on mas sage.
 Personally, like to see women talCa enough interest in their hair to treat it at home. Of course, if you have access to readily adequate and up- to-date beauty y-parlor, and go there enough to demand one girl for your treatme ments-that is, some girl whose manner of attending you is satisfac- tory-it is a good thing. But never attend a cheap shop of that kind The conditions are unsanitary and there ig little or no science involved.
 And do not be "faddfsh" when if comes to ''treatments."

it was necessary to cut through the woods to a suitable fording place. Adding to their difficulties were swarms of moose-f1fes and, surpris- ing1y enough, equally large swarms of mosquitoes, comp cling the entire party to wear nets over their heads.
 When they reached the Keystone canyon the trail had been washed away in many places. Thousands of tons of rock. and ice had been dis lodged and, in falling, had carried away bu1kheads of solid stone sup porting the trail. This forced the crew to fill in great gulches with stones before they could proceed.
 At the finish of the trip on August 19, the truck was again placed on the trail to carry supplies and mail to road camps and settlements in the vicinity of Valdez. Colonel Richard son said he believed that the road work contemplated by the Alaskan commissioners will make 1t possible to go from Valdez to Fairbanks in four days next summer.
