FIRST AID TRAINING
TO men AND WOMEN
American Red Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds of Thousands Life
Saving Methods.

The purpose of instruction In First
Aid to the injured offered by the Amer
lean Red Cross is 10 train men and
women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and intelligently when
emergencies demand II. First Aid
treatment is not intended to take the
place of physicians service. A sur
geon should always be summoned as
a precautionary measure where there
when one cannot be secured few min
utes' delay may mean a fatality. In
such case a person trained In First
Aid Is invaluable not only to the In
dividual, but through him to the COM
munity In which he lives.
There is perhaps no way Of ascer-
tanning the number of deaths or seri-
Gus disablements which result from
lack of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment II Is safe to as
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation Of First Aid methods to each
case would UNNECESSARILY tighten the
country's toll of suffering and death.
The dissemination of First Aid train
Ing and information has already pro-
duced q farreaching and beneficial in
tluence in the prevention of accidents
on railroads, In mines and In great In
dustrial concerns.
The benefit Of widespread knowI-
edge of First Aid In the event of a
great disaster, such as a train wreck,
an explosion, an earthquake, etc., is
obvious. Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient as
sistance. Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work includes
~ the formation and conduct, through
Red Cross chapters, of classes for in
struction In accident prevention and
First Aid to the injured among men
and women in all communities and In
every industry; CO the introduction Of
courses of instruction In high schools
and colleges.
The Red Cross Is prepared to supply
First Aid books and equipment at rea-
sonable prices.
Every person In this country able to
do so should. In his own interest, re-
ceive Red Cross First Aid instruction.
Information about the course and In
struction classes may be had at the
nearest chapter headquarters.

WOMAN SUFFERED IN SILENCE
Health Poor, Beauty Fast Fading Away=-=
Made Believe She Was Well

A woman of New Auburn, Ne, writes:
There must be lots of women who feel
as 1 did. 1 suffered in silence many
times on account Of my pride, but now
know that a good laxative is essential
to good health. / neglected my health,
trying to keep CHEEKY and pretending
I was all right when l wasn't. l had
terrible pains, was 'grouchy,' and my
headaches almost killed me with pain.
and worst of all, from my viewpoint /
had a sallow, unbecomfng complexion
which was not helped by face powders.
Why didn't I try to cure myself rather
than pref nd? After taking DR.. True's
Elixir, l now know that laxative was
what l needed. DIR. True's Elixir is
mild and pleasant to take. and works

b. New Auburn, Me.
The root of many of the evils of sick
ness is the bowels, a very vital part of
the human body.
A cold, fever, diseases or the like
can be helped at once, providing the
operation Of the bowels is normal-the
first and most important relief can be
had by giving a laxative, be sure IL is
the proper kind.
Most everybody in these days of
quick action and strife, forget their
health. The laboring people bolt down
their meals, often go to bed right after
eating, and wake up in the morning
restless, force down a breakfast and
then are distressed all day.
An Outdoor Worker says: Il couldn't

Atmosphere Above Earth,s Surface.

The atmosphere is believed to ex-
tend much more than 100 miles above
the earth's surface. Its density de-
creases rapidly for the first few
miles of ascent, then much more grad
ually. From the phenomena of twi-
light, due to refraction Of light. 1t may
be demonstrated that the air extends
up to height Of As miles; but other
phenomena, such as the behavior Of
meteors and the aurora, show that
rare air exists at a much greater
height.
