Health Notes.

The greatest care should be taken
of the teeth. Equal parts of CASTLE
soap, powdered orris root nd precipi-
tated chalk make a good and inexpen.
sive tooth powder.
Nail biting can be cured by will
power alone in older people, as it
comes from nervousness. With chill
dren dip the ends of the fingers in
Quinine or little extract of quassir.
Extreme temperatures should be
avoided in the bath. The extremely
cold bath often is shock to the sys-
tenn. Sixty degrees Fahrenheit is a
good temperature for the bath, both
summer and winter.
You can make a shade for the gas
in sickroom by using an ordinary
asbestos stove mat with ring in it.
Twist a piece of wire around the burn.
er, leaving the upper end free and
bend into hoop shade; then hang
the mat to this.
Eat slowly and taste your food well,
and it will slide down and give more
than food eaten quickly.
Never eat when tired or overexhaust-
ed, but lie down, even if only for
few minutes, before dining.

What to Do In Emergencies.

What would you do if you found a
man seriously injured? Would you
know the proper way to relieve his
sufferings? The Pennsylvania rail
road recently has taken a long step
toward preparing its employees for
such an emergency. Medical examin-
ers of the relief department are CIV
ing lectures at every division point,
and their work is supplemented by
the issuance of First Aid" packets
and pamphlets telling what to do
when man is hurt. Here are the d.
rections, which every one should
know:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS congresses on
the bleeding part and secure firmly
with the cambria bandage. If this
fails, tie a bandage around the limb
between the point of hemorrhage and
the body, and twist tightly with
stick until bleeding stops.
Fracture-Broken bones should be
treated with splints secured in POSI-.
ton by triangular and other ban
dages. Folded newspapers, pieces of
board or anything sufficient to pre-
vent movement of the broken ends of
bones upon each other will answer.
Burnside not forcib1y remove
clothingj out the clothes away, if nee.
essary. Common baking powder, dis.
solved in water, should be used to
saturate the bandage. Don't use oil
they are liable to cause
infection.
Shock From Accident-Don't give
whiskey, drugs or any other stimu-
liant; use hot coffee, hot milk and 9th.
er hot drinks and blankets, hot.water
bottles, etc.
Unconsciousness-Lo the cloth
ing about the neck and abdomen and
give the sick person plenty of air, lay.
ing him upon his back in a quiet
place.
Fits-Keep the person quiet and on
his back, loosen his clothing and be
careful he does not injure himself.
Sunstroke and Exhaustion-In tho |
former apply ice to the head and abb
domen, and in the latter treat as in
4 case of shock.
In all cases those in authority are
urged to KEEP COOL, send for the
nearest physician and avoid touching
open wounds with the hands.

nual convention of the Iowa Dis
trict Osteopathic Physicians associ-
alton at the Commercial club.
DR.. Hook cited many cases which
had resisted old-fashioned methods
of treatment for years, and which
were completely cured by osteopa-
thy. The speaker denounced the
conventional method of the alcohol
baths as given universally in hospit-
al practice. He recommends olive
oil instead.
Ulcers are treated osteopathically,
the speaker explained, by adjusting
the spine at that point where the
nerves emerge which control the nu-
triton of that portion of the body
which is liberated. Local dressings
are not neglected, but they are us
ed only for purposes of cleanliness
and protection, and do not include
medication. DR.. Hook claims that
osteopathic treatment is as success
full in the case of ulcers as in most
other serious conditions.
The osteopaths have decided to
demand the right to practice surgery
and DR.. F. G. Cluett of Sioux City
read a paper in which he declared
that the practitioners of this school
all over the country have decided to
insist that they be given their right
full place in the healing art. while
osteopathic laws in all states, save
only two or three, give us the right
to practice our system" said DR..
Cluett, "the opposition Of the medi-
cal politicians has in many states de-
MED us the right to practice major
surgery, Notwithstanding the fact
that there are many osteopathic sur
geons in the profession, and that
the course of study in surgery in the
osteopathic colleges is equal to that
taught in many of the medical
schools"
The newly discovered osteopath1c
treatment for catarrhal deafness
was demonstrated yesterday by DR..
H. M. Ireland, who is member of
the faculty of the Still College of
Osteopathy at Des Moines. DR.. Ire
land operates upon these cases with
out instruments, using only his fin
ger in the patients throat. The pro-
cedure is a sort of bloodless surgery.
The operator succeeds in removing
with his finger adhesions which OBJ
struct the throat end of the tube
which goes to the ear to provide
equal air pressure on both sides Of
the ear drum.

Using Ashes.

Even ashes may be effectively used,
but they must be ashes of wood only.
Sifted over a lawn they make an
excellent fertilizer protecting the roots
of the grass and sweetening the soil.
This should be done in the late au-
tumn and the ashes should be damp to
prevent their being scattered by the
wind.

 Louis Atwaber was his principal op- ponenE-a He conducted campaign in person and through the mails which called the attention of every union member in this city to the bat t1e-
 The opposition to Mir. Kane waa waged along the line of 'tprogress. g rt was made to appear that the or that there was an element in this city who believed in forcing issues with more strenuous efforts
 As soon as Kane had shown the assembled delegates that the organi- zat1on had doubled in the past two years and that the wages of carpen- ters had been increased materially un- der his management without strikes and the voting was such as to vim dicate his methods completely.
 It is said in union circles to-day that the union does not desire radi- ca1ism where conservative progress can be made. As a conclusion to the election the members of the organi- zation were entertained by Kane in several local host1erfes.
