THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION
Funeral services ere held Monday
ember s5, As Day OF Thanks
giving

Executive Chambers, Pierre, s. ID.
The cycle OF seasons has again
brought us to that time of year when
the people of South Dakota, mindful
of their dependence upon the bounty
of God, should seek occasion TO ex-
rress their gratitude for the bless
ings which have been received without
number.
Few years In our history have af-
forded greater cause for Thanksgiving,
and 1t seems fitting that we should
devote at least one day to the con
temptation of our situation and with
grateful hearts make a proper acknow-
ledgment to Almighty God for his low
ing kindness.
1t happens that the year 1920 Is his
torically doubH significant in that ex-
actly three hundred years ago the 30th
of July. last, there was convened In
Jamestown the first legislative assem-
bly to meet on American soil. Further
it is an interesting coincidence that
November 18th not only is the memoir
able day of the beginning of the Arm
istice that closed the great world war.
but ii is as well the three hundredth
anniversary of the signing Of that re-
markable "mayiower Compact" by
which the Pilgrim Fathers politically
bound themselves together, and first
established the principles of civil and
religious liberty and put into practice
a genuine democracy.
The President of the United States.
following the national custom Of more
than a half century has designated
Thursday, November rs, 1920, as a day
of THANKSGIVING AND PRAYER.
NOW, THEREFORE,, on this Thanks
giving Day let US gratefully rejoice
that these institutions although labor
iously conceived were firmly establish
ed; and they have been successfully
maintained; and from generation to
Stiti ~ navy OCSi hdluSu hONh ~
Tar, vigorous and unimpaired. And ON
that day in public and In private, In
church, in school. and In our homes
let us pray that God may continue us
a free, equal, independent people: that
He give us courage, wisdom and siren
9Th to undertake the new responsible
tiles constantly devolving upon us, and
finally that He aid and guide us to be
faithful 10 the principles and high
ideals of the Pilgrim fathers-clean,
untarnished Americanism.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, / have
%hereunto set my hand and caused to
be affixed the Great Seal OF the State
of South Dakota at the Capitol In the
City of Pierre this 18th day of Novem-
ber, A. d., 1920.

dos" and "DOn'ts" For Care o.
Wounds

For all general purposes, wounds
may be classified under five general
heads. First, incised, such as a sharp
knife or razor would infiict. Second.
lacerated, where the flesh is torn apart
rs by a fish hook, barbed wire or the
Jagged edges of a tin can. Third, pun
ctured, a wound greater in it's depth
than its width, as by stepping on an
u%pturned nail in a board, falling on a
spike and piercing the hand, or a sliv-
err running in deep. Fourth, poisoned,
such as a rattle snake bite, or that
Of the bite of a dog or other animal
with rabies. Fifth, gun shot wounds.
Never neglect a trivial wound, as so
often blood poisoning comes from just
S ich cuts, chafings or scrathings, so
never take a chance" on those, but
rather do something for it since 1t is
better to be safe than sorry.
All serious wounds call for immedi-
ate medical treatment; but If the hos
pital is too far off or the doctor Is
likely to he long in coming. something
must he done in the way of first aid
for the good Of the patient. But there
are some important "dont's" to keep
i'm mind.
Don't wash a wound with water. No
unboiled water is clean and especially
a wound on which the blood is clotted.
Don't touch a wound with the fingers
ar any instrument which has not been
sterilized. Don't cut away torn skin
which is hanging loose. Don't probe a
wound i'll which there are foreign
bodies. such as broken glass, gravel,
cinders or splinters. Leave that to the
doctor.
The positive things to do, if you
must. First, thoroughly cleanse the
hands, second il there are foreign
bodies in the wound sterilize a knife
blade in a clear fire, or over an alcohoi
fame. and remove surface particles
herewith. Third, il you have no real
a%ntisepLiC gauze, take a clean hand
kerchief or napkin and scorch with a
|hot iron and place face down ON the
wound aud secure loosely with band
aeg. Fourth, if the wound must be
cleansed because of mud, dry dirt or
! gravel. etc, pour on the wounnd clean
gasoline and then apply compress. A
p%unctured wound is considered dang
erous because of poison being forced
deep into the flesh.
Always encourage bleeding as that
is natures method of expelling germs
and pour iodine into the p%uncture. In
case of a snake or rabid dog bite on
arms or legs, tie quickly a string be-
tween the wound and heart. Encour-
age bleeding if you have to make a
crucial incision with a sharp clean
knife, directly over bite. Then burn
with pure carbolic acid or a red hot
knife, and get medical aid. In gunshot
wounds. if there Is much bleeding, this
must be stopped by licking limb or use
of a turDiquet, place compress over
the wound and treat for shock. by
giving black coffee, or aromatic spirits
Of ammonia, one-half ~teaspoonful to
ons-half glass of water. Send for med
ical aid Immediately.
