"oh. they'll quiet down and go TO
sleep soon," said Mr. Jarr.
That's always the way with YOU"
remarked Mrs. Jarr. You laugh at
them when they misbehaVe, and then
can't do a thing with them because
they think, and rightly. that you up
hold them. Willie has been very
naughty all day and his alster is
just as bad"

Jarr withdrew TO quell the uprising

specialist who has frequently sug-
gested this mild measure for the
alienation Of the intense pain fol-
lowing acute injuries innloted by
hornets and similar insects. When
swarms Of hornets, bees, or wssps
light upon the mouth or throat, their
stings may cause such extensive
swelling as to interfere seriously with
breathing. Remember that the poison
injected by this type Of insect is
acid. and is neutralized with am
monia or bicarbonate Of soda.
The pain and swelling is further
relieved with ice cold applications Of
lead water and laudanum, or with
simple iced cloths; in the absence Of
anything else apply wet clay.
Severe symptoms OF poisoning may
follow the bite CT a centipede, spider.
tarantula and the like. II the patient
is overcome, apply a tourniquet
above the part to check the absorp-
tion of the poison and suck the
wound. expectorating frequently.
Under no circumstances swallow the
poison and do not suck the wound
unless you are very sure what caused
the bite and that your own mouth
Is free from cuts, abraisons or open
sores.
Apply alcohol to 100, whiskey or
tincture Of iodine to the wound and
gradually loosen the tourniquet. To
,improvise a tourniquet at a moments
notice, tie a handkerchief. or strip or
cloth Of any kind loosely around the
limb, insert a stick into the loose knot
and twist 1t around and around until
the circulation is stopped.
Now the bacillus OF anthrax Is
sometimes conveyed to man through
the medium OF an insect. Anthrax is
one OF the epizootic diseases-com-
municable TO human beings.
When on the surface Of the body
anthrax is called malignant pus-
tule."
The seat OF infection has been mis-
taken for a poison spider bite.
Remember that tincture of iodine Is
destructive TO every form OF bacteria
and at once pour the pure tincture
upon the wound. DO not hesitate:
applied on the outside of the body
iodine is a harmless remedy and EN-
pIoyed in this condition may save q
life.
Vacationists should be particularly
careful to fortify themselves against
bites and stings OF insects. as II Is
often impossible to procure the SER
vices OF doctor when far removed
from quick means OF communication.
