Practical Suggestions for
Sizzling Summer Days

bathe the-face and hands and arms
whenever you have time to do so In
cool water. Drink plenty of water. but
do not indulge in many soft drinks. If
YOU are thirsty and away from home.
il the day is very warm, quench your
thirst with a glass of sweet soda water.
So much for preventive measures. The
first symptoms Of too much heat and
sun is headache. After that dizziness,
dim vision and nausea give warning.
Whenever you have a headache IN very
warm weather, try to cool yourseif.
Walk more slowly. drink cool water,
rest a few minutes if you can. get in
the shade, and bathe the forehead with
cold water II the headache persists
fold a cloth wet in cold water across the
forehead and lie down near window.
This precaution Is worth taking, for In
half an hour 1t will probably put you
in good shape to Withstand the heat Of
the rest of the day.
II YOU are called on to revive anyone
who has been overcome by the heat or
sun first OF all have him taken to the
coolest place in the building you are
in. or. II you are out Of doors. place
him under a tree on the ground or
carry him into the nearest house. II he
is taken in the house, place him. lying
fat, near a widow, open top and bot
tom. Remove the outer clothes imme-
diately. Battle the forehead in cold
water, and hold pieces Of ice on the
head, under the neck and rub them on
the chest and arms II the patient
does not Immediately respond to this
treatment, he should be plunged In cold
water. or soused with cold water.
OF course. the first thing to do when
you wish to help a heat victim is to
send for physician. The treatment
prescribed above can be employed when
no physician is Forthcoming. or when

Net Frocks.

Surely there is no prettier picture than

Among the hills Of Massachusetts,. not
far removed from the pretty little town
of South Carver, is q great farm, where
wild birds are being reared In large num-
bers. And 1t win not be SO many years
before the fields and forests of America
win be alive once more with the Wild
lings whose varied calls echoed through
the woods and over the waters until the
birds were laid low by the sure aim OF
relentless hunters.
For the East Head Game Farm Is Of
Serine a safe harbor TO wild game and
fish, and gladly will send out its treas
ured tenants all over the United States
to those who can and will offer them
adequate protection. The association
back of II Is reaching out Its shelterins
arms all over the country. and soon those
who love to hear the sharp. sweet Bob
White call of the quail of an early sum-
mer morning will not listen In vain Tor
the notes they always pause to near
when the birds are a-perch In a nearby
field. The whir OF the partridge will echo
through the woods once more ana the
rustic of wild wings will be heard over
the waters of many an inland lake In sec
ttons that for years have been almost
barren of that kind Of wild life.
Cause of Their Interest.
But do you know that many Of the men
who are supporting this great tract Of
5000 stretching acres are perhaps pri-
marily interested in the work of pre-
serving wild life from the sportsman's
viewpoint.
1t may be a little sharp to say that the
legislation they are seeking in every
State Is as much for the sake Of them
selves and the sport they love as for the
purpose of once more filling the woods,
the meadows, and the waters with the
wild life well-nigh depleted by reckless
slaughterers. 1t may be, because in their
constitution they declare that their pur-
nose is the conservation Of wild life, and
on their farm the delicate and beautiful
wood ducks, the wild turkeys. pheasants
quail, and many other game birds are
remarkably tame. But as one reads the
objects OF the association. as set forth
in the constitution, II is bit dishearten-
ing to note one OF the clauses.
1t says the purpose Of the associa-
ton is to arouse interest among indi-
yiduaIs, clubs and others in the pro-
lection and propagation of game ana
fish and to show them that propaga-
ton is the practical way Ito increase
the sport
And there one stops, for though II
goes on to add "the general food sup
ply and purposes of commerce, 1t is
quite impossible to forget the sport

pitifulIy small thing for men of wealth.

preserve wild life for the sake of wanton
destruction later on-a bit of play in an

Perhaps one should not condemn true

the rules of the game and are profess
sionally great conservators of wild life

His Trust in God.
The child leans on its parents breast
Leaves there its cares and Is at at rest
The bird sits singing by his hest
And tells aloud
His trust in God and so Is blest
Meath every cloud.
He has no store, he sows no seed.
Yet sings aloud and doth not heed:
BY flowing stream or grassy mead
He sings to shame
Men. who forget. in fear or need.

citizen of the county who can re-

this to be true. The restless dis

of our now best citizens, was

We should have love for the

cry instance, strive to improve
existing conditions and better a.
dapt ourselves to them, and not
strive to follow in the wake of
the many other persons of our
county who have moved to other
counties, after making a nice lit
tie fortune here. They have gone
there to get the conveniences of
sife that We remaining citizens
must secure for ourselves, or
many more of our citizens will
continue to leave us as the many
have done in the past to get these
advantages of life that we nat.
