More profit from farming for farmers

work. 1t seeks to accomplish this by
widening the margin between the cost

price obtained by the farmer on the
market. In the past this margin has
been small. 1t must and it can be
made wider. However this widening

bring down the cost of production, and

AS an illustration Of reducing cost

This is a big subject, and n which
cannot be taken up eXhaustively IN
elementary papers such as this series
affords, ard then, too, it would not be
wise to make this lesson too technical,
since what is really necessary is to
give a few plain hints such as Will
prove effectual in meeting such an
emergency as poisoning.
Lots of people think that in all
cases of poisoning, the most import
ant thing to do is to give an emetic,
to make the patient vomit, but that
is a very unfortunate idea, for in
some cases it would prove fatal. So
then, to be quite sure as to this mat
ter of emetics, if the mouth or lips
are burned or stained, that is usually
the evidence that an acid or strong
alkali has been swallowed, and in
that case an emetic must not be given.
Among acids, salts of lemon and GER
tain polishing pastes must be in
Guided. while the alkalies are caustic
potash, caustic soda (lye) and am
monia.
What we need to remember in cases
of acid or alkali poisoning is that We
must first give a ~neutralizer, hence
if il is acid that is swallowed the
antidote or neutralizer is an alkali,
such as lime water, aromatic spirits
of ammonia (teaspoonful in glass of
water), baking soda in water, chalk
powdered in water. First get the
patient TO rinse mouth out, and then
let him sip the mixture slowly.
II it is a strong alkali, then the neu-
trailer or antidote is an acid. Lemon
Juice, vinegar (50-50 in water), grape
fruit or even orange juice. AS before,
first rinse out mouth and then let pa
tient drink by sips. Follow this by
letting them drink oil, such as olive,
salad, cod liver, or that found In good

CHILD LABOR

by Ruth s. Ambcrg
All through Il country, indeed,
throughout the world, interest in the
welfare of children has increased tire
mendously during the last few years.
Nearly a century ago humane people
we're beginning to bestir themselves
against the evil called child labor, an
evil which had naturally increased
with the development Of great indu-
tries. BY the middle of the last
century Charles Dickens, Elizabeth
Barrett Browning and other lovers Of
children were systematically fighting
this corruption through their writings
and public interest has gradually in
creased so that now thinking people,
through concerted action, are begin
ming to demand that child labor shall
cease.
The hope of the future lies in our
children for they are to be the build
ers of the new world. The stat,
therefore, should give them every OPP
pOTluNlJy lot DeIIeTllleHl ana parents
should see to it that their children
take advantage of all their privileges.
By thus cooperating we should be able
TO abolish this hateful thing, child
labor, and give our children schools,
teachers, and equipment, all tina,
makes for a full and happy childhood
so that they may become strong, eff.

Narrow Escape in Washington

Wednesday night of last week Mr..
and Mrs. W. E. Lott and their two
little daughters who were attending
the Southern Baptist conve. .ntion in.
Washington came near being asphyx-
lated. They retired at their hotel
about $50 o'clock and one of the lit
tie girls called MIR. Lott about $3.50
o'clock and complained of being sick.
Mr.. Lott responded to the call at
once and found that gas was escap-
ing from the gas jet. One of the lit
tie girls turned off the gas on retir-
ing but evidently did not cut it off
entirely. Mr.. and Mrs. Lott and both
of the little girls suffered somewhat
from the effects of the gas but were
able to attend the sessions of the con-
.vention the next day. Had not the
little girl been aroused from her
sleep, doubtless alb of them in the
room would have been asphyxiated.
Their friends in Edgefeld are de-
lighted that they sustained no serious
injury.
