Treatment After a Fall.

It is quite a mistake to think that
when a person falls from a great
height his heart stops before ever his
body touches the ground. Breathing
may be suspended for few minutes,
but if artificial respiration is applied
at once, life can be restored in many
cases. This was proved in New York
when a girl fell distance of 200 feet,
with no more serious results than some
fractured bones and few internal in
juries. She compares her sensations
while falling to the faintness one feels
when travelling downward in jerky
lift. It was only in the moment of
landing that she lost consciousness.
Doctors assert that such accidents
would not so often prove fatal if ar
tiicial respiration were more gener-
ally tried. Just because the patients
pulse is not beating it is a fatal error
to think he must therefore be dead.
Treat him as you would man rescued
from drowning, and in nine cases out
of ten you will save his life.

The military road, which has been

United States government to help

Of course, came in contact with the
Americans who operated the trucks,
and it was necessary for the army
surgeons to make sure that they were
in good health. They were typical
Mexican laborers and, therefore, none
too clean. The army sanitarians also
had reason to believe that some of
them were infested with insect foes
that might disturb the peace of their

new detective unravels the mysteries
and seeks to determine the manner
in which fifty big factories, with 10O,'
900 men on their pay rolls, combine to
stife the small competitor who would
enter their field.
It was such an assignment as this
that one morning came over to New
York in the mail from Washington
and fell to the lot of Special Agent
Billy Gard. The instructions said:
'The Northern Pulp & Paper Manu-
facturers' association will hold it's con-
vention at the Waldorf on the 10Th,
goth, 21st and 22d. It is suspected
of being a conspiracy in restraint of
trade. It's deliberations are in secret
and the membership is unknown. AS
certain all action Of the convention
and procure a. list Of the members of
the association"
This action on the part of the gov
eminent was occasioned by complaints
from publishers of newspapers
throughout the country which seemed
to indicate that there was an under
standing among manufacturers as to
prices that should be charged for
white paper. If there was such an
agreement that prevented competition,
it was probably reached through some
association Of which all were men,
bers. There was the Northern Pulp
e. Paper Manufacturers association.
It's deliberations and it's membership
were secret. This fact put it under
suspicion. Was it fixing prices?
TO answer this question, Special
Agent Billy Gard went on his vain
glorious debauch of assuming an i'm
portance that was not his due. He
unleashed that tendency that is within
us all and let it run riot to the limit.
But back of the assembling there was
an object to be accomplished.
