The random shot hit BENIN so unex-
pectedly that he was disconnected.
"Miss Lowriew he snapped in angry
protest.
''Why, what Oh 1 beg your pardon.
Charlie! I" she replied, her look express
sive only of innocent contritio1. 'Raf-

he? And l meant a gentleman detec-

"Detective?" exclaimed Ellen.
Under her shocked gaze BENIN
flushed brick red. Tillie had unob-
trusively started up the garden to-
ward the kitchen door. Amy renewed
her atrack.
"Oh, not common, low, ordinary de-
tective, Ellen" she protested. "No one
could dream of Charlie being that
could. they? But a Sherlock Holmes
or a Gibberer-that famous French
detective, you know-that's altogether
different, isn't it? SO romantic!"
Unable longer to endure the grilling,
BENIN turned to retreat. Titles head
appeared above the blossoming
shrubs; II moved toward the kitchen
porch with marked rapidity. He looked
about at Amy with a glance of resent
ment and suspicion and started up the
garden on run. The girl smothered
a cry of dismay and darted after him.
She was only few steps in the rear
when he overlook Title.
'Stop!" he ordered the hurrying
woman. "What are you going to do?"
She halted and faced him squarely,
her arms akimbo. Her tone was tart:
II amt working for you. Mind your
own business"
II SHALL" retorted BENIN, and he
showed her silver-plated officers

Titles mouth closed with obstinate
r.firmness. Amy FASTENED to interpose.

to follow her, but paused to grasp Til

who had FASTENED up the garden after
Amy.
"I'll have no tricks" he rejoined.
Ellen gave him a disdainful glance.
But he had turned to overtake Amy,
holding fast to Title. The girl went
direct to the telephone, without max
ing any attempt to elude him. She had
the receiver at her ear when, still
dragging the reluctant Tillie, he over
took her.
"S-ssh!" she whispered. Its that

New Years has been observed since
the year one, such is not the case.
In fact. there is no mention of the
day as a Christian festival until the
fifth century, and even now the He
brews celebrate their New Years In
September, for their calendar is ar
ranged according to the new moon,
which makes New Years a movable
holiday. Today. however, there is
scarcely a nation but observes this
season of the year in some manner
or other, though customs differ in
most localities.

HOW TO BE A HELP
Full BYSTANDER
By Captain G. R. G. Fisher.

VIII. Inconsistencies or Insensibility
These terms are simply two differ
ent names for the same thing, and pos
sibly there is no other condition which
is so apt to puzzle one, as just this
state in which one may be found lying
because there are so many causes for
it. AS for instance, severe injuries
to the skull causing conclusion and
compression of the brain. Also GER
tain diseases of the brain as apoplexy,
hysteria; and among the more COM
mon causes-fainting, shock, poison
ing, sunstroke, heat exhaustion, bleed
ing, electric shock, freezing or suffo-
cation. Be careful to ascertain from
by-standers what the cause was. If
no one is able to explain, or none but
yourself and the patient is there, then
quickly study person and surround
ings and examine for any of the caus-
es as mentioned above. If there is
evidence that the case is serious, send
for medical help, and in the meantime
see that the patient is placed in a
position where breathing is most easy.
If the face is pale, keep the head low,
but if flushed, raise the head slightly,
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1920-09-29

loosen tight clothing at neck, chest,
waist. If patient is cold, cover with
blanket or other wraps, and provide
fresh air.
But be careful to note the following
symptoms: If the breathing is rapid
or comes as in signs; if beads of sweat
stand out on face; if skin is cold and
clammy; if the pulse rapid or imper-
ceptible, then they are in state of
shock or collapse, and no time must
be lost in an endeavor to revive
Sponge face with weak vinegar or
aromatic spirits of ammonia, or sprin-
kle with cold water; hold smelling
salts to nostrils momentarily; gently
shake and speak to arouse, and when
consciousness returns give stimulant,
preferably aromatic spirits of am
monia " teaspoonful in II glass wa
ter.) If there is profuse bleeding, flex
limb or apply tourniquet. But if evil
dence of internal bleeding, keep pa
tient on side in recumbent position so
that in event of blood oozing from
mouth or in case of vomiting, they
will not choke Blood which is cough
ed up frothy and bright red, is from
the lungs; blood vomited and dark red
is from stomach. When they revive
give chopped ice to suck and apply
cold cloths to lungs and stomach, as
case may be.
Injuries to head with continued in
sensibility, simply call for genera
care of condition and patient attention
till medical help arrives.
If the conditions is due to sunstroke,
remove quickly to shady place; remove
clothing to waist line; place in semi
sitting position; dash cold water on
face and chest, and keep ice bag to
head. When revived give cold water
freely to drink.
If electric shock, remove cause, if
still near cause, and if lung action
has ceased, perform artificial respira-
ton. When breathing is restored and
consciousness returns, treat burns, if
any, and give stimulant as in shock.
If heat exhaustion, body will be cold
and clammy as in shock, with similar
conditions as to breathing and pulse.
Remove to quiet place, loosen cloth
ing, it the temperature is below nor
NAL; keep body warm with covers, and
when conscious administer stimulant
as above, or hot tea or coffee.
But if cause of condition was suf-
location, following smoke, gas or wa
ter, artificial respiration will be the
first duty to perform, which will oc-
cupy a separate article to follow.
Painting is really an emotional af-
lection, something causing the blood
to leave the head to succor the heart,
and the consequent pale face and col
lapse causing one to fall Painting
may be easily avoided if one will bend
over, if sitting, or if standing, stoop
over, as if one were going to pick up
something. In the case of another,
if they seem to be on verge of fainting
place hand on belt in front and with
other hand force the head over, and
the swoon is prevented. 0
If one is in faint, don't pick them
up. Loosen tight clothing, fan, sprin.
kle water on face and hold smelling
salts to nostrils momentarily. When
conscious give cold water to drink.

may be prevented by taking care not
to over do during hot weather, and
in case of one becoming tired, especi-
ally dizzy, followed by headache or
sense of oppression, these being the
warnings of approaching trouble.
Then at once stop working, take a
cool bath, or battle the head, face and
hands in cold water, lie down in shady
or airy place, and rest quietly for an
hour or two. Don't permit use of
alcohol in any form!
Frost bite need hardly be described
since 1t is common affliction in
Northern Division territory If any
thing need be emphasized in this con-
nection, it is revention. Proper care
should be taken to avoid unnecessary
exposure of face, ears and hands, TAX
ing particular care Of the feet.
If one is frost bitten, endeavor to
restore affected parts by rubbing with
snow, or, in absence of snow, ice scrap
ings or ice water. The hands or feet
can be submerged in cold water and

TX. Burns.

Burns are of three kinds-1st de-
gree, where the skin is inflamed, as in
scalds; End degree, where bllsters ap-
pear; 3rd degree, where the tissue Is
destroyed and the burned parts are
charred.
Burns are caused
a. By dry heat, as fire or hot iron
b. By rail, wire or dynamo charg-
ed with high pressure electric current
c. By acid, such as vitrol.
d. By a corrosive alkali, such as
caustic soda, ammonia or quicklime
e. By friction, contact with reyolv-
ing wheel or belt, or sliding down a
rope.
| f. Scalds by most heat, boiling wat
| err, tar, oil or steam.
To treat burns, first remove cloth
ing from burned parts, but if any
sticks, don't pull off; just cut around
with scissors and soak clinging pieces
with oil and leave to doctor to remove.
Never break blisters. Leave these al
so to the doctor. Immediately cover
burnt areas with gauze, absorbent cot
ton or clean cloths soaked in oil. Any
pure oil will do, but the best is Car
ron Oil which is easily made with
equal parts of lime water and raw lin
seed oil. If the burns covers a large
surface, it is best to apply oil dress
ings in strips three or four inches
wide, as these will fit better on the
parts. If you cannot secure oils,
quickly mix strong solution of bak-
ing soda, Arm Brand salaratus, thor
oughly soak cloths and cover parts
and keep wet with the solution. On
failing in these, smother burned part
with pure flour The air must be
quickly excluded from the burned sur
face.
If the face is burned, cut mask out
of gauze or linen, leaving holes for
eyes, nose and mouth and smear this
with oil or vaseline and cover with
pond with dressing.
If the hand is burned badly, sub
merge in water at temperature of body
(98 degrees,) in which some baking
soda has been mixed, and when oil
dressing is ready apply strips to each
finger and thumb separately and bind
the whole with absorbent cotton.
In all severe cases of burns, it will
be necessary to treat shock.
If the burn is-caused by a corrosive
acid, quickly apply water, and then
follow with weak alkaline solution
made from salaratus, washing soda or
Stacked lime in warm water and then
apply oil dressings.
If it is corrosive alkali, immedi-
ately neutralize with water, then
hathe in a weak acid lotjon made from,
equal parts vinegar or lemon juice and
water. If it is quicklime, be sure to
remove any lime before the water is
applied.

X. Sunstroke, Heat Exhaustion and
Freezing

Sunstroke and heat exhaustion are
both caused, generally speaking, from
the same source, i. e., excessive hot
weather, although the former is usu-
ally produced by the direct rays OF
the sun striking the head, while the
latter is more apt to come from hu-
mid weather or as a result of being
confined to poorly ventilated work
shops or rooms.
The remarkable thing about these
very serious emergencies is this, that
while both arise from common cause
vet in each case the symptoms are SO
adversely opposite, as are also the
treatment, that it will be we'll to i'm
press these points by means of a
comparative table and thereby facltl-
tate ones decision as to which IS
which. and also enable one to do just
the correct thing, for we must be
sure in these quite common emergen-
cies since they are of an exceedingly
serious nature. 1864 deaths occurred
last year from this cause directly, and
of the 62,431 deaths reported from
apoplexy (there is a form Of this dis
ease which is termed heat apoplexy"D
there were doubtless many of these
