REMEDIES FOR NOSE BLEED

Bleeding from the nose is seldom
anything to be alarmed about, unless
it comes from blow on the head or
as the result of a severe internal hem
orrhage. In most cases it stops after
a while of its own accord, but even
then it is extremely annoying and
often most inconvenient and embar-
raising as WELL In most cases Wig
orous motion of the jaws, as if in the
act of chewing, will stop the trouble
very shortly. A child should have
wad of paper inserted in the mouth
and then chew it hard. 1t is the mo-
ton of the jaw that stops the flow of
blood. With some people it is only
necessary to place a small, hard wad
of paper under the lower lip and the
flow will stop; with others salt and
water or vinegar and water shifted up
the nostril cures it in few moments.
In very severe cases it is sometimes
necessary to plug the bleeding nos
tril with cotton and make a pressure
on this by pinching the nose from the
outside, or to soak the hands and feet
in water as hot as can be borne.
When the nose bleed is caused by a
blow in the face it can be stopped by
holding the head back and breathing
through the nose and eXpectorating
the blood that falls into the throat
This is the plan adopted by most
prize fighters to stop such bleeding.
If the bleeding comes from any Sc.
we're injury of the head, such as a
fractured skull, the nose should be al.
lowed to bleed until the doctor ar
rives.
An old-fashioned remedy for nose
bleed to which many mothers pir
their faith is to apply something colo
to the back of the neck. This is Otter
done by dropping large key dowr
the back, but it is much more effica
cious to use cold compress for this
purpose, such as a cloth wrung out
of very cold water or bit of icC
wrapped in a cloth and applied to the
neck just under the hair.
1t often happens after tooth ma.
been extracted that the bleeding con
tinues for an undue length of time
If it flows very freely for more thar
an hour the patient should have medi
cal attention. Pack the socket tight
with absorbent cotton and shut tn,
mouth, bringing the Jaws together
thus forming a pressure on tn,
wound. Keep up this pressure, anC
if this does not, after a few minutes
cause the flow of blood to cease, il
means that the sufferer is "bleed
err" that is, person in whom from
some constitutional popularity Tho
blood is extremely slow in CLOTHING
Such people should call doctor t.
attend even the slightest wounds, fol
it is dangerous for them to neglect
them.

WHAT IGNORANT
COMPETITION MEANS

Speaking in New York recently.
Edward N. Hurley, vice chairman Of
the Federal Trade Commission, as
serted that ignorant competition was
one Of the most dangerous obstacles
to the development and success of our
country. at is estimated, continued
the speaker, "that ninety per cent of
the manufacturers and merchants in
Germany know absolutely what their
goods cost to manufacture and sell.
If you compare our figures, which
show, according to estimates, that on
ly ten per cent of our manufacturers
and merchants know what it costs to
manufacture and sell their products,
you have the answer as to why Ger
many has been so successful in de-
veloping such high standard of eff.
ficiency in manufacturing and dis
tributing their products not only in
Germany but in the markets of the
world. 1t is fact well understood
among business men that the general
Generalization in large number Of
industries has been caused by firms
who cut prices not knowing what
their goods actually cost to manufac.
ture; the cost of selling also, which
is equally important, is also wholly
lost sight of. Are the officers of the
companies who are cutting prices
right and left, irrespective of their
costs, fair TO their customers, stock
holders and competitors? Quality
and service are becoming greater fac
tors in the field of merchandising.
Long after the price of a product is
forgotten the quality of that product
is remembered"
Mr.. Hurley may be depended upon to
know what he is talking about, and
this estimate given out by him to the
effect that but 10 per cent of Amer
lean manufacturers and merchants
know what it costs to produce and
sell their goods is extremely impor-
tant. Under such conditions it is sur
prising that we have been as success
full as we have, rather than that we
have had so many business failures.
The national and local stationers
associations have done good work
along the lines of impressing on their
members the Importance of accurate
ly ascertaining costs, and the facts
mentioned by Mr.. Hurley should cause
them not to let up in this extremely
important work.-The American Sta
toner.

GOVERNMENT FUR FARM

An experimental fur farm has been
established in Northern New York
by the biological survey Of the depart
ment. At this farm the Government
specialists expect to test many kinds
of fur animals, foreign as we'll as ma
tive, as to their adaptability to do
mestication. One of the most i'm
portant lines of work to be taken up
will be that of developing improved
strains by selective breeding. This
farm is the outgrowth OF experiments
conducted with minks and martens
during the past year at Linden, Md,
and the National Geological Park, D.

SUGGESTS U. S. PARK
IN ARCADIA DISTRICT

A national park in the Arcaria
scenic district of Southeast Missouri
is advocated by Carl r. Kraft, a Chi
cago painter, who is exhibiting 81
canvases, showing the scenery of that
district and of other places in the
Ozarks, at the McCaughen & Burr
galleries, 900 Locust street, st. Louis,
says the Post-Dispatch.
Kraft, who has spent two sum
mers in the Arcadia Valley, regards
it as one of the great scenic treasure
houses of the United States. In its
attractions for the lover of natural
beauty, he declares, this portion Of
the Ozarks is comparable with the
Yellowstone Park region.
In his paintings he has given es-
pecial attention to the remarkable va
riety of rock coloring which appears
in the very abundant outcroppings of
stone in the Arcadia region. Among
the trees of the Ozarks, his favorite
is the sycamore, and in several of the
pictures the sycamore appears in the
foreground, set off by the more num-
erous oaks in the rear.
The paintings are landscapes pure
ly. No animals are introduced, and
only two of the canvases show human
figures. In 'Red Rock" a boy is seen
fishing from the natural promontory
which gives the picture its name.
"The Shut-in" depicts bit Of prim-
tive nature near Arcadia. Several
paintings show the far sweep Of the
Arcadia Valley, scene of great beau
ty. "Fire-Flies," Decorative Syca-
mores" and "From Sunset Rock tBap-
fist HilD", are other noteworthy pic
lures. Besides the Arcadia paintings,
several were made along White River,
in the Southwest Missouri Ozarks.
A number of other Ozark paintings
by Kraft have been sold to various
galleries and private collectors. His
"Charm of the 0zarks" was recently
acquired by the Chicago Art Institute
in the annual purchase, made by a
municipal art committee, in which
one painting is selected.

Says Phosphate Doubles
Strength and Health

Numerous notices have appeared In the
press from time TO time telling Of the
remarkable benefits to be derived from
the regular use OF a digestlble organic
phosphate known among druggists as
bltro- phosphate. Investigation shows
that bltro- phosphate which In obtainable
OF any good druggist, enjoys It's great
popularity because Of It's peculiarly valu-
able property OF quickly restoring the
strength and vitality OF the depleted
nervous system. NeuraSthenla nervous
ness, sleeplessness and physical and
mental weakness are almost invariably
due TO starved nervous system, This
condition can only be corrected by sup
plying to the nerve centers the necessary
phosphoric food elements, the lack OF
which has caused all the trouble. For
this purpose specialists highly recon-
mend taking with each meal a tasteless
5-grain tablet Of the organic phosphate
now 80 generally known as bltro- -phos-
phate, which, while being inexpensive.
Ia undoubtedly the most remarkable
nerve food and restorative Of health
and strength known to medical science.
Bitro- phosphate can be obtained from
