The Way To Manage Bumps.

Inc way 10 Manage Bumps.
Some bumps have to be gradually
worn away by friction with the
world. I've smoothed down a num-
Der of mine, and like all men over
the draft age l like to jolly myself
with the thought that we grow mel
low as we grow older and know a
lot more than we THOUGHT we
knew when we were younger
which, l suppose, is legitimate con-
ISOLATION or salve for us old dodgers.
When a baby bumps his head and
seems daZed and drowsy soon aft
erWard, don't be alarmed. 1t is
Natural that the little one should
sleep off his shock. Certainly he
should not be unnecessarily dis
turbed, as some misinformed par
enJs imagine, with view to pre-
venting serious results. The bump
or blow on the head causes more
or less shock. Shock is the depres-
sion of weakness due to any injury
or fright; one who is shocked
breathes slowly and in shallow
manner, the pulse is weak and
rapid, the face is pale, the skin
cold and clammy, and the mind
stupoTous if the patient is not quite
unconscious.
One injured by a blow on the
head may show only the shock of
the conclusion. This develops i'm
mediately after the injury, lasts
minutes or hours, and disappears.
But, supposing there has been frac-
ture of the skull, without external
sigma thing, fortunately very rare
in children excepting in crushing
accidents. In that case there may
be the same temporary shock, con-
Cussion, followed by an interval of
a few hours of Improvement, and
then the patient sinks into sleep
from. which he fails to arouse. This
suggests slow bleeding from q torn
artery on the surface of the brain
just within the skulIcap, with slow
ly increasing pressure on the brain
Such symptoms call for immediate
trephining, in order to find the
bleeding point and stop the hem
orThage.
The~best immediate application
to a bump, on the head or else
where, is cold, either pieces of ice

THE BORROWING NEIGHBOR
BY Marvin Drake Wharton.

"Our new neighbors been over

his wife.
Yes, twice" replied his rather
reserved and uncommunicative
helpmeet, and her lips met close
and she declined TO further discuss
the subject.
Martha Barton was not so reti-
cent, however, with her widowed
sister who lived with them. When
Mrs. Dysart propounded the same
query, adding: And what did

Barton replied:

came-she had run out of mus

Saving By Buying Bonds.

In calculating the extent to which he will aid
the government by buying bonds, the Amerf-
by remembering that the money he invests in bonds
is d saving TO him of the money he might have to
expend in taxation. He is dividing with posterity
the cost of world democracy instead of paying the
whole cost through current taxation Inasmucb as
posterty will be the large beneficiary of the con-
ditons which it is certain will follow a victorious
ending Of the war, it is right and equitable that it
should pay its share of the expenses. This share
it will pay through the redemption of the Liberty

bonds escapes that much of taxation, gets fair in

The Day i'm Davenport

Fight Hot Fire-One of the hot
test fires the Davenport depart
ment has had to fight for months
broke out about 5:15 Tuesday aft
ernoon in a shed in the rear of the
house at 400 East Fourteenth
street. The shed connected with a
barn on the same property and
with a shed on the adjoining prop
erty, and all three buildings were
in flames in a few moments. So
fierce was the fire that the over
hanging oak trees caught fire, while
all the residences in the neighbor-
hood were threatened
A Costly Neutrality-suspicious. of

Tuesday afternoon. AS far as
known every employe was present.
There are about three hundred of
them. The principal address was
given by George W. Scott. He
spoke for over an hour. Albert ].
County Council of Defense, spoke
for a shorter time. Both gave pa
triotic talks.
Assistant Principal ResignS-At
the regular monthly meeting of the
school board, Monday, the resigna-
ton of J. II. Cram. assistant prin-
cipal of the local high school was
accepted. Mr.. Cram has been a
member of the high school faculty
for the past ten years and besides
being assistant principal has taught
in the commercial department. The
Misses Clara E. Jacobsen and Beat
rice r. Miller resigned from the
faculty. Mark L. Wirth, instructor
of chemistry, resigned to become
professor of physics at Kalama-
zoo college.
Here's a Mystery-In his mail
yesterday morning. Chairman A. j.
Faerber of the council of defense,
received a piece of note paper on
which was inscribed in large let
ters: 1.-The Dutch Still Flies, 1918
Line, also 1875 line" The envelope
containing the missive was ad-
dressed, "A. ]. Faerber, care of
War" and the note was unsigned
Whether the communication is in
tended as a threat or merely a
friendly note, Mr. Faeber has not
determined. AS yet he has offered
no reward for its solution.

Answer-The citric acid of or
anges combines with sodium and
potassium and circulates in the
blood as an alkaline citrate of sodi-
UNI or potassium, rendering the
blood rather more alkaline and the
urine rather less acid. There is no
harm in eating the skins or peels
of oranges.
