This Will Help You SAVE LIVES

r T UMAN lives may some day depend upon
what you know about giving first aid
This is why you ought to be familiar
with the advice given by the committee of
eminent physicians and surgeons which has
recently been investigating mining accidents
These recommendations apply not only to men
who are overcome in mines. but to those
suffering from the effects of gas poisoning or
electric shock anywhere:
In case OF gas poisoning, remove the vic.
tim at once from the gas-laden atmosphere
Carry him quickly to fresh air and imme
dately give manual artificial respiration Do
not stop to loosen clothing.
Give oxygen. This may be given through
a breathing bag from a cylinder having
reducing valve with connecting tubes and

In case OF electric shock. break the electric
current instantly. Free the patient from the
current with single quick motion, using any
dry non-conductor. such as clothing, rope or
board, to move patient or wire. Beware of
using any metal or moist material.
Attend instantly to the victims breathing.
IL the victim is not breathing, he should be
given manual artificial respiration at once
II the patient is breathing slowly and regu-
larly, do not give artificial respiration, but
let nature restore breathing unaided
Continue the artificial respiration if nee.
essary' two hours or longer without inter.
ruption until natural breathing is restored.
II natural breathing stops after being re-
stored. use artificial respiration again.
Do not give the patient any liquid until he
Is fully conscious. Give him fresh air, but
keep his body warm. Send for the nearest
doctor as soon as the accident is discovered

WHAT to EAT If You're OVER FORTY

IND. CHARLES F. BOLDUAN,
director of the Health De-

Health Education In New York City,

altogether too much meat, eggs, fish
and other proteid foods. Such a
diet is harmful at any age, but 1t
becomes exceedingly dangerous when
