number of deaths in Norway from
drowning being about 600 year. Only
about II per cent of all the school

How to Treat q Cut.

When you have a cut, a scratch, a
bruise or any other kind of injury,
paint it with iodine. AS soon as in
jured, dip a toothpick with cotton
rolled on the end of it in the iodine,
and paint over the wound without
washing. The iodine will kill all the
germs in the dirt that gets into the
wound, while washing only drives the
germs farther into the flesh. When
painted with the iodine, wrap the in
jured part in a clean cloth for cou-
pie Of days.
