WHEN LOST IN THE WOODS.
Do Not Hurry Nor Get Excited, but
Follow These Rules.

What would you do if you got lost in
the deep woods? How would you pro
coed to get out, and how would you
make yourself comfortable until you
did get out or were rescuedi
Herman Templeton, a Maine guide of
many years experience, has the fol-
lowing lists of dos and don't for those
who may find themselves lost:
First.-Sit down and think it over
SecOnd.-Stay where you are, so that
the men who are not lost will have
some chance of finding you; if you
wander around they will have almost
none.
Third.-If you cannot stay still, but
must try to get out, follow stream or
logging road downward, and you will
eventually come out somewhere in
open country.
Fourth.-When you stop build fire
and keep comfortable overnight
Don't get excited don't travel in a
circle once you discover you have been
doing so; don't hurry at any time;
don't worry under any circumstances
1.-THE trouble with most people is
that they get in hurry when they
find they are lost. lose their heads and
wander around almost blindly." said
Mr.. Templeton, THE greatest reason
why people get lost is lack of observa-
ton. They fail to observe the country
when they are going into it, and when
they start to come out although they
may be on the right track, they do not
recognize tue country enough to follow
the right course.
Every mHH going into the woods
should have a compass and a thorough
knowledge of how to use it. With that
knowledge and the ability to observe
the country man can travel in the
deep woods safely even without pre-
vious experience Boston Globe

DRESSING A WOUND.
Jse Soap In an Emergency, and II Will
Prevent Infection.

Use Soap In an Emergency, and 1t Will
Prevent Infection.
The danger of infections, even from
slight abraN,ns of the skin, Is ap-
preciated so thoroughly today that no
Intelligent person will willingly neglect
slight cuts or bruises where it is pos
sible to give such injuries first aid
treatment with some kind of dressing.
frequently, however, there are none
.! The usual remedies at hand, but a
cake Of soap is almost always avail
able, and this substance makes an ex-
cellent dressing, as European army
surgeons testify.
The favorite substance of the sur
geOnS for cleansing wounds before the
days of antiseptic dressings was So
luton of CASTLE soap. The usual meth
cd of dressing wound at that time
was to wash it thoroughly with the
soapsuds, allow the surface to dry and
then apply lints and bandages. The
soapsuds removed the germs from the
wound, but as the bandages and dress
ings were not sterilized these dressings
frequently contained bacteria which in
fected the wound. If the surgeon had
gone one step further with his CASTLE
soap dressing and dipped his iints into
tn, soapsuds before applying them or
rubbed the moistened soap into the
lint his treatment would have been
much more effective.
Every one should bear in mind. there
fore, that any kind of soap makes
good emergency dressing and should
be used as a covering for freshly in
jured surfaces if nothing better is
available. strip torn from . hand
kerchief, with the moistened soap rub
bed into the meshes and bound over
the wound, will prevent infection from
outside sources. And if the wound has
been thoroughly cleansed with soap
suds it is probable that no other dress
ing will be required.-Los Angeles

YOUR FIRE POLICY.
Have You Read It carefuIly7 Do You
Understand Ito Terms?


William Hardwick. Melvilles leading
grocer, was man of forethought. He
carried fire insurance both on his store
and his residence The policy applying
to his store he kept in his house and
that applying to his LAbuse and its con-
tents he kept in his safe at the store.
Thus in the event of fire in either
property the policy applying to it would
escape the flames.
One night William Hardwick's slum-
bers were disturbed by the frantic ring
ing of the telephone.
"Come right downtown" urged an
excited voice "Your stores going up
in smoke"
When Hardwick arrived the fire was
under control. and fifteen minutes later
the 'all OUT signal was sounded.

WEEKLY NEWS REVUE
(By c. J.)

Hudson Maxim has announced that
 he thinks he has invented a device
 that will put a good-sized, well-fed
 crimp in the submarine menace. MT.
 Maxim says he intends to try out the device soon on merchant ship. More
 power to ye, MT. Maxim, but please
 don't invite any Bisbee newspaper men to be abroad that ship when the test takes place. Of course, the de- vice is probably all to the mustard and. though we have no doubt but what it will scare away the torpedo before it gets to the ship, we cannot forget the poor, unfortunate individual who once donned "bullet-proff'' coat and then went out and made faces at Hassayampa bad-man to see if it would work.
 But, on the other hand, if the in- vention is a success, just think how nice it will be to get one of MT. Max inns captured torpedoes, put it in the duck pond ih the back yard, and then go out in the morning, tickle it un- der the chin. pet it's shiny head and say. Nice little torpy; did 'oo sleep well last night? ?" What a scrump- tious opportunity for the advertising men. No doubt they will soon be writing something like this: Have you torpedo in your back yard? We have a nice supply of tame cnes, made in Germany Buy one today and take it home to. the kiddies.
