Against Fuel Pay Basis. ..
The possibility Of basing the pay Of

to saving fuel, elected numerous ques-

Of the commission, and the frank hos

system.

per cent Of fuel units were utilized. We
are interested very greatly in making
time with trains to relieve congestion
and also in the saving of fuel. Could
not the fremen be paid on basis Of
the coal used"
"a bonus SYSTEM" asked Mr.. Shea
quickly. 81 would oppose any such
plan. 1t was tried on the Pennsylvania
lines east, and experience showed that
there was no accurate, way of measur-
ing the fuel. The experiment caused
more confusion and dissatisfaction

Burning Real Estate
"Thcre should be competent instruc-

ton, though, as a matter Of fact we
are not burning coal on railroads any

ground that Gilbert is an agent of

Your Health And Its Care
By DR.. R. II. BISHOP, JR.

Repeat this treatment frequently
for twentyfour to forty-eight hours.
In the meantime do not permit the
patient to move the joint. Do not
allow patients with knee or ankle
sprains to walk.
A strain IS the same as a sprain,
except that it is the muscles, not
the cords that are injured. Unless
an exceptionally severe strain a doc
tor is not needed. Complete rest is
necessary. Rub the afflicted part
with a mixture OF half cold water
and half alchohol. On account Of
pain rub lightly at first.
Measles.
Anxious Mother: Measles are in
fective for five days after the ap-
pearance Of the rash. If there has
been any inflammatory condition of
the nose and throat or ears or any
persistence OF the catarrhal symp-
toms, the quarantine should be con-
tinued until these disappear. OF
course, a house should be cleaned up
after any communicable disease.
German measles do not protect from
the ordinary variety and there may
be a slight danger on. this account.
There may be other children in the
household who may now be In an

The auditor recommends that the
distribution of printing be taken

The state auditor says that tax
making powers should be centralized
in the state board of equalization,
which he would have headed by the
governor, with the attorney general,
treasurer, auditor and agricultural
commissioner as members. He says
there lis danger with a tax-making
body composed OF appointive Of
ftcials over whom the governor may
have no control of "antagonism" to
the administration, which might
prove embarrassing. For instance,
the administration might ask a GER
tain revenue, and the tax making
body might refuse to raise that
revenue. Instructions relative to tax
levies should come from one body,
instead of several, says the state
auditor, who would have the state
board Of equalization provided with
a full time secretary, with at least
three years experience as member
of a tax ~lnalSing body.

FIRST AIp-No. 1,
SFSESS HLG'Sy: ASeANr

The season Of outdoor activity is
at it's height. Summer sports bring
sprains and fractures in addition to
minor bruises. A little first aid
knowledge is therefore in order.
When a person suffers a fall, the
force of which has not been suffici-
ent to cause a dislocation, a sprain
often results. The cords about the
joint have been twisted so severely
as to cause the breaking of a small
blood vessel and results in the
escaping Of the blood and the liquid
part of the blood in and around the
joint.
Immediately severe pains are felt.
An attempt to use the injured joint
only increases this pain. This usu-
ally is accompanied by great swell
ing although the, bones are not
broken and the head of the bone is
not out Of place. Nevertheless
sprain is no joke. o.,
If the sprain seems to be a severe
one or If you are in doubt about il,
send for doctor. In the meantime
reduce the flow of blood to the at
nicted part as much as possible by
raising the injured joint. Check the
swelling by applying very cold
water. This should be done by lay
ing on cloths soaked IN cold water,
by sprinkling the joint with aald.
water. or by placing 1t under cold
water tap.
