General Directions for Assisting II
Accidents


When an accident occurs some
ore must take charge until the doc
tor arrives. In the home this usu-
ally falls upon the home woman.
Therefore. she should know. at
least in a general way. what TO do.
for this is one occasion when there
IS no time 10 talk the matter over.
The main requisite IN accidents Of
all kinds is use common sense be
observent and do not allow yourself
TO become excited Have only the
people that can be OF assistance
around the injured person The pa
tient needs air. and superfiuous peO-
pie are in the way. Before moving
the patient from the place where
the accident occurred be sure that
this will not cause further injury
II the doctor is within immediate
cal. IL is often better 10 do as little
as possible until he arrives. Nat
urally the action taken will depend
upon the injury II would he fool
ish 10 wait for even a short time IL
there was danger from bleeding.
As tight clothing may interfere
with both breathing and circula-
ton. loosen anything around the
body that is tight. especially the
belt and collar Next see that the
patient is in a comfortable position
Unless there is reason TO the con-
trary the best position is on the
back with the head low. When the
face Is flushed the head may be
raised slightly. IL the patient is
vomiting the head should be turned
10 one side TO prevent the matter
vomited from going into the wind
pipe. Remember unconscious pa
.tients cannot swallow and therefore
should not be given water or slim
Ulants by mouth. as it may choke
them. However, IL the patient is
not unconscious and asks for water
it may be given with perfect safety.
Sinulants are often misused They
should not be given when bleeding
is prOfuse. when the head has been
injured, or when the face is red or

I felt ashamed of my attitude. and
started in at once. And II there was
need before. how much more there
will be now that our own boys are
going Mark my word. before six
months the woman who doesn't knit
will be more conspicuous than the
one who does. II is an opportunity
for personal service that few women
can resist"
The thought passed into my mind
that Lillian was already rendering
such valuable personal service 20
her country that her knitting was
surely superfuous Then following
that thought came in a flash the
real solution of her knitting activ-
tiles.
Because of her important position
in the service Of her country she
must camoufage her real work in
every possible way. She had al
ways been a breezy, brilliant un-
conventional person. with the repu-
tation among her friends of having
the biggest heart in the world. But
she was the last person one would
associate with secret diplomacy.
Her beautiful knitting bag and her
gray woods would be in keeping with
the reputation she had so carefully
built up.

audaciously, as he lazily extricated
himself from his chair and lounged
over to a seat between Lillian and
me. 1T wont be quieting TO my

Mr.. Herman Salzman returned
from New York City on Wednesday
Of last week where he had been stay

Saxonia. They were married at the
Church of the TRANSPORTATION "The
Church around the Corner" in East
10Th street, off Broadway, New York
on Tuesday, August 26th. The GER
emony was performed by the Rev.
George Clarke Houghton, ID. D., the
Episcopal Service being used. The
trip across the Atlantic extended for
over a period of twelve days, owing
to the fact that call was made at
Halifax to disembark 1900 Canadian
troops who were on board. Most ce-
lightful weather was enjoyed during
the whole of the journey with the ex-
ception cf one day when the ship ran
into fog and an electric storm.
Mrs. Herman Salzman is delighted
with our fair city and informs us
that it is the prettiest place she has
seen since her arrival in America, and
is charmed with the warm welcome
that has already been extended to her
1t may prove an interesting fact-Sor
the readers to know that before COM
ing to this country the bride resided
in London, and during the five years
of the war lived through many un-
comfortable and exciting experiences
on the several occasions that that city
was visited by enemy ar craft.
