WHAT TEACHERS OUGHT TO KNOW
 OF FIRST AID
\ Little Kit of Ffrst-Aid Remedies is as Essential in the Schoolroom as a Box of CrayonS-Emergen Meas ures Should Be Understood by Children, but Supplies Should Be Under Control of the Teacher.

(Timely suggestion from the Home
 Economics Division, Bureau of
 Education, Department of the h.
 terior.)
 Quite as essential in the schoolroom as box of crayons is a little kit of first aid remedies. Emergency measures should be understood by the children, but the supplies should be under the control of the teacher One bottle of diamond-shaped, blue colored bichlori1e of mercury tablets should be kept that any cut may be first cleaned in antiseptic solution be- fore being bandaged. These tablets are so poisonous that, after explain ing to the children their use, they should be kept under lock and key One to a pint of water makes a solu- ton in which wounds can be bathed.
 A roll bandage for cut fingers or wounded heads should be ready. If bleeding is excessive a teacher must remember that many layers of band age do not stop the bleeding, but on1y cover up the blood and prevent rec ognition of excessive flow. Sharp pressure must be made over the wound until bleeding ceases. Zine oxide adhesive tape is used to hold The edges of wounds together. It can be purchased in rolls two inches wide and torn lengthwise to any width needed. The cut so often made on forehead by bat, or ball, or stone, can be most effectively treated by first washing in antiseptic solution and then bringing the edges together and closing the wound with short pieces of adhesive tape.
 Not infrequently a child breaks a bone while playing at school If the skin is not torn by the jagged edges Of the bone, no serious alarm may be felt. A few sIats from a window shutter, yard stick cut into pieces, some pine kindling smoothed and cut into lengths; any of these will do as temporary splints. The prominences of the broken member should be padded with cotton Ca one-half pound roll of absorbent cotton should be part of every school equipment) and the splints placed parallel on the limb and firmly bound in place. The binding must be tight enough so that no muscle contractions will cause the bone to tear the flesh but must not be so tight that circulation is impeded
 Should a small foreign body get in child's eye, carefully removing it by using the rounded point of a lead pen cil neither irritates the eye nor causes pain.
 If child chokes on a foreign sub stance, he should be picked up by the heels and shaken. If too large for this treatment, by laying quickly over the teachers desk or table with face downward and head and shoulders hanging over the edge and giving a slap on the back, it will usually dis lodge the offending article.
 After any injury to a child care should be used that the child is kept very warm by added wraps and if possible drink of very hot milk. No teacher should assume the responsi- bi1ity of administering internal medi- cines.

DIANA BELAIS TO SPEAK HERE ON
 WEDNESDAY,

The Anti-Vivisection movement as a moral necessity will be the subject of Miss Diana Belais, president of the New York Anti-Vivisection society, at a meeting of the Bridgeport Philo- sophical society on Wednesday even ing, November 19. at their rooms on Main street. Members of the asso- citation are most eager to hear Miss Be1ais, because of her long associa- tiOn and experience with the work, which is attracting wide attention throughout the country
 The speaker is also editor of the Open Door, a publication entirely devoted to every phase of vivisection controversy, scientific, moral, hy- gienic and social. both in the United States and foreign countries. The pa per also deals with animal life in all it's connections and with questions of public health.
 \ corial invitation has been extend- ed the public to be present at the lec- ture. Physicians are especially in vited by the society.

bodies with hammers and bullets, by scar1fying their most tender organs with red hot irons, by all the bloody triumphs of the knife, by roasting and boiling, by packing their shivering, famished bodies in tubs of cold water and ice, by tearing out their writhing flesh, their living nerves and abdo- minal organs.
 Among the thousands of anti-vivi- sectionists all over the world, will be found celebrated men of science, physicians, poets, thinkers and jour nalists. A few statements at this writing will illustrate:
 Victor Hugo.
 ''Vivtsection is a crime; it can only be excused by hypothesis, and hypo- thesis a basis for such a practice is horrible and shocking The science which uses 1t as a pretext is culpable. The human race must repudiate such barbarous prac- tices."
 Mark Twain.
 'The pain which it inf1icts upon un- consenting animals is the basis of my enmity towards it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further. I have tried to understand why it should be considered a kind of credit and a handsome thing to belong to a human race that has Vivisectors in it.''
 The Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix. (Late Rector of Trinity Parish, N. Y.)
 T have read accounts of the tor lures inflicted in the name of science on the creatures committed to our care on placed in our power by a Divine Providence, and they have made me sick at heart for weeks to- gether. have also read what arguments are made in attenuation or recommendation of the practice, and their only effect has been to strengthen my conviction that man is capable of becoming the most bar barous and most merciless of all agents
 Cardinal Gibbons.
 ''It affords me pleasure to invoke a blessing on the good cause. . the cause of anti-vivisection, which had the warm approval of the late Car dinal Manning"
 J. W. Hodge, NJ. D.. Buffalo, N. Y.
 T am strongly, wholly and una1- terably opposed to the practice of viVisecting the sub-human groups of animals. I regard the practice as cruel, unmanly, useless, and criminal. It brutalizes and demoralizes those who practice it and those who wit ness it, by destroying the sense of justice and the instinct of pity, etc.,

world which is so distracted and be- wildered at the present time,'' said Miss Lathrop. For seven years the bureau of the national government created to look after the mortality of children has been obtaining statistics on child mortality and if we are to enter the world to make it safe for democracy it seems to me consoIing to turn to our own land and our own young. Statistics show our country is about seventh in the world relation to the safety of the infant, four teenth in maternal mortality and eighth in the list of illiteracy. In other words there are seven other For seven years the chiIdren's bureau has been making a study of the in fant death.
 T hope to see a bill passed for public protection of maternity and in fancy" continued the speaker. If you want something like this turn to England where during the war the women were protected by the gov ernment.
 Instead of the importance of the child labor laws we should have something forcing every child to go to school and every child should have d IulI IeGHl. we SnOuIQ DluSn 10 think that a child of 14 is let out into the world to earn a living. We must fit the child to some industry and let him out into the world with a rich ness of mind and skill. The con- tinuation schools where children can continue their studies until IS years of age is one of the greatest helps towards correcting this evil.
 Miss LathrOp told of the neglected age of the children-the age when they are at home, preparing for school. Because the average mother has no knowledge of what to teach her child and how to make it healthy of body and mind, he often comes to school to be made over again by the teacher. The speaker urged not only the education of the child, but also the mother.

 Dr. Alice Hamilton. who is the only woman member of the Harvard fac ulty, and who is now interested in industrial conditions, spoke of the work woman can perform in asso- ciating herself with industrial life and conditions and gave startling exam pies of her experiences at Hull House. She said the man looks towards the practical side of industry while the woman has the sympathetic element The differences of opinion between the male and female in settling griv- ouS conditions is very far apart, the speaker said. and both views are needed in industry.
 The closing address of the conVen- ton was made by Miss Julia Lathrop of the Children's Bureau of Washing ton. She spoke at length of the great work that lies before the women in correcting the mortality of mothers and children which is increasinS 5 every year.

WHAT IS VIvISECTION?

(By Simon Louis katzoff, A. M., M.
 D., Author of Timely Truths
 On Human Healthy
 What is vivisection? Briefly speaking, vivisection means the cut ting or experimenting upon living animals or human beings Vivisec- ton, is supposed to be the means by which a knowledge of disease and it's prevention is obtained. It is done in the name of science, health, love, and mercy. Millions of dumb ami mals are annual tormented, burned, and slaughtered as means of know ing the human animal. After talk ing the lives of so many innocent, living creatures, and after spending so much human energy and money, what good has vivisectton accom- plished?
 Have the vivisectors found specific cures for tuberculosis, diphtheria, typhoid fever, smallpox, pneumonia, cancer and the like? Have we less tuberculosis today? Have we less cancer today? Have we less illness. misery, crime and proverty today as result of vivisection? Have we saved any lives last year by means of influenza serums?
 Has the serum or vaccine, advo- cated and employed by those who be- Iieved in vtvisection, and serum therapy (the result of vivisection) :, last year, cured or prevented, in fuenza or deaths? To all these and many other questions, the unbiased student will have to answer in large letters-"NO!" Does anybody know what good vivisection has accomplish ed in this world, outside of keeping vivisectors on good salaries, labora- tory equipment factories busy, doc tors and undertakers rushed to death, statisticians and bookbinders at work? |? Absolutely nothing.
 The medical ofession-composed of the allopath, homeopath, and eclectic schools of medicine are di- vided on the merits or demerits of vivisectiOn, just as they are divided on the importance or non-import- ance of vaccination and serum inocu- lations. Of course, the writer believes that everybody, who studied the sub ject, has a perfect right to any opin- ion. They, as well as all the people, have a. rgiht to be right and a right to be wrong. We cannot have pro- gress unless we first have tolerance.
 Vivisection consigns millions of good, living animals to slow death by starvation, by strangu1ation, by goug- ing out their eyes, by smashing their

IN YOUR KITCHEN.

The housewife not fortunate enough to possess a large cabinet ca- pablo of holding all her wares will save herself many a weary step by a careful grouping of her utensils. It takes only a short time to think out which ones are most needed, and if they are put in the most convenient place, many precious moments will be saved. Group them near the places where they are used and put all those that are used together near each other. For instance, here is a sug- gestion of grouping that can be alter ed and rearranged to suit individual needs On the shelf over the sink place the tea and coffee cans, the tea and coffee pots the douhIa-hniIer

It is a black velvet, but it is reliev- ed from possible maturity by the use of old blue with ii. A satin Vestee with youthfully round collar, sleeves and silk embroidery are the means of introducing the blue.
 The low V-neck and the slit pockets are accentUated by a bit of the blue embroidery and the same goes round the sleeves and belt. Oh, yes, there is a belt, only in back, however It ends upon the sides with small balls of blue crochet.
