LOW, BLOOD PRESSURE.
First Aid to Those Suffering From
hemorrhage or Shock.

One hears a great deal about the
danger of high blood pressure, but not
much about the danger Of too low
pressure. Yet the latter may be very
swiftly fatal. It results often from
shock, as well as from severe loss or
blood. But there is a very simple
means of giving temporary relief,
which every one should know, since
such knowledge might often be the
means OF saving life.a ~ J. s.F1% s@
A diastolic pressure Of fifty MILNE
tiers is critical, for the blood tends to
accumulate IN the abdomen, but death
may be avoided il immediate means be
taken to raise the arterial pressure. A
late number of La Revue gives the
following directions:
"The wounded person in whom ar
teriul pressure is low should be placed
Immediately on an operating table
heated by electricity. with his feet ele-
waited for all hour or more some thirty
millimeters about one and one-quarter
inches) higher than his head. IT the
diastolic pressure remains below eighty
millimeters an injection OF 1sotonic
serum should be made and If necessary
repeated. If the pressure does not re-
main sufficiently high after the second
injection another injection Is made OF
adrenalin into vein, preferably a
vein near the heel
It will be noted that the first part at
these directions can be carried out by
any one-namely, the application OF
warmth and the raising Of the patients
heels higher than his head. This is so
important and so efiicacious that TIE
famous French physician and research
scientist, DR.. Charles Richet, has mace
1t u practice In his lectures to students
to give them the striking object lesson
of a dog which had been bled almost
to the point Of exhaustion, so that
death was imminent, being instantly

changing it's position. When lie was

CAREFUL SOIL PREPARATION.

CAREEUG SOIL PREPARATION.
WASHINGTON D. C., Sept. 4
Especial to the Review Special care
to place the soil in good condition in
preparation for aplanting wheat and
rye will goa long way, says the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
towsr I'd ssarisg the production Of the
bumper crops of those grains which
the department hopes to see harvest

Ii winter grains are to be grown
on land devoted to similar grains dur
ing the preceding season, the land
should be plowed as soon as the oid
crops are removed and occasionally
surface cultivated to kill weeds until
planting time. The blowing should
be to a depth of about 7 inches. Just
before planting time Nthe land should
be narrowed If fairly moist and free
from weeds; otherwise it should be
disked and narrowed.
Wheat and. rye may follow practl-
cally any crop which may be gotten
I ont OF the way in time. Where
+ choice is possible, however, it is bet
4 ter to have these grains follow cui-
tfvated crop, preferably leguminous
crop such as soy and other beans, or
s cowpeas. To have them follow corn
Is q common practice in parts Of the
corn belt. In the south they may fol-
low cotton and in the southern great
J plains region, the sorghum. In some
sections farmers find it good plan
to follow potatoes with wheat or rye
II the wheat and rye follow cult
waited crop which has been kept free
from ,weeds,it is best not to ploW the
land. The land may simply be disked
and narrowed, narrowing to be per-
formed again just before seeding.
Under all conditions drilling Is
preferable to broad casting as meth

IA, drill OF his own, it will be worth
while for him, in most cases, to rent
one. When drill is used less seed Is
required, the seed are covered better
and may be planted in contact with
moist soil and more even stand Is
obtained. n -T
Fertilizer is used on many wheat

braska but is used less frequently IN
the region to the west. Fertilizer IS
not generally used in growing rye. IN
Il growing wheat where fertilizer is used
acid phosphate is considered OF chief
importance. Under present condi-
tions 1t will hardly pay the farmer to
use potash. From 200 to $50 pounds
sof phosphate to the acre is the usual
rate. It is best applied through the
drill at planting time.
Lime should be used on land on
which wheat is to be grown If acid
conditions prevail. The lime or ground
limestone may be applied at the rate
Of 1000 to 1000 pounds to the acre

tighten upon her reins. She looked
inqulringly around, and then stood pa

of the road, could hear the fretful

her hand on his arm, saw the flash
Of her brown eyes as she drew close to
him with that pleasant little air OF fa.
mlliarity, shared by no other woman
he had ever known.
Then the little scene faded away, and
he remembered the tedious present
