VERY FEW ACCIDENTS HERE
DURING COLD SPELL.

cit is a remarkable fact" said a
prominent Paris physician to THE
NEWS man yesterday, that there
have been very few accidents in
Paris during this awful spell of cold
weather. One would naturally ex-
pect a number of such, in view of
the icy sidewalks and high-piled
snow, but up to date the physicians
of Paris have not had half-dozen
such cases to handle. People seem
to be taking extreme care to avoid
accidents. I am saying this gladly
and not sadly, please understand.
The same PHYSICIAN, a few mo-
ments afterward, speaking of frost
bitten fingers and ears, made this
statement: 1T is the best thing in
the world to get to Nature in case
you get your ears, fingers or feet
frostbitten Go to cool room, rub
the afflicted parts with snow or ice
and then gradually let the affected
member or members get warmer"
He added that the snow is to be
used after the person has been
taken into the house, so as to get
the member gradually used to the
warm room. His advice at parting
was Never go into a heated house
when frostbitten." 4

EXEMPTION BOARD ISSUES
WARNING TO REGISTRANTS

The Bourbon County Exemption
Board has issued a statement say
ing that a large number of question
naires have been improperly filled
out and that it is of vital impor-
lance that these be corrected and re-
turned at once. The time for max
ing these corrections is limited and
they must be given immediate atten-
ton.
Any person knowing such should
have them appear Immediately be-
fore the Board, as this is positively
the last chance the Board can le-
gally give them to escape punish
ment as prescribed by law.
1t is probable that some of these
men are already in the military SER
vice, and the local Board has no
knowledge of it. In such case the
Board will appreciate it if any rela-
tive or friend Of these men will mott
fly it, as it will help both the Board
and the registrant

The West Virginianl-Now that

we'll to point ou4 to those who figure
on a visit out Of town that plumbing
must be looked after, otherwise on

Of damage done which will mean con-

drain plumbing when they cannot do
so. The assistance of osme one who
knows how or else q competent
plumber should be secured. Simply
