TO REVIVE SHOCK SUFFERERS
Application OF Artificial Respiration
Must Be Kept Up Despite Seem
ing Encouragement.

Or. s. Jellinek, Analysing the effects
of severe electric shocks received by
contact with tho electrified wire fences
during the World war. wrote In Elck-
trotechnik und MaSchinenbau that an
important factor vas the state Of pre-
pnredncss Of the victim.
Experience, says the Scientific Amer
ican. has shown that a shock
which was likely to prove fatal If
received UNEXPECTEDLY, was harmless
when anticipated. Experiments on
animals have confirmed this impress
sion and have been instrumental in
showing that physiological effects of
shocks administered with direct and
indirect current are distinctly differ
ent.
1t Is also remarked that close re-
semhlanCe to death after shock should
not be accepted too readily as proof.
Persons apparently dead have not in
frequently recovered when artificial
respiration was applied. 1t is best
to give the victim the benefit OF the
doubt.

Diet and Enerpy

The Salvation Army acquires new

doughnut will provide lifting power to

and six walnuts will do the same,
while three medium-siZed olives will

discouraging article in the American
journal of Medicine, supplies energy

the mistaken picnic luncheons that

Make Your Speech Short.

It's Il mark of business ability to
say much in few words. 1t saves
time. The man at the other end Of

tcrtainment If that were on his mind
he would go to the theater and get
the real thing. Neither does your cor

He wants your order in the fewest
words. 1t saves him time and it will
save yours, too It's a good thing to
aim at the greatest concisencss and
eXactness Of expression. You are apt
to make fewer mistakes when you can
make few words tell your whole story.
You will rise in the business world
as you are able to do it.

He is to have volunteer assistance by To- cal hunting clubs, the members of which value permission that has been given them for shooting on the re- serve. Agent A. H. Symons at San Carlos has intimated that he may re- yoke all hunting licenses on the res ervation, as number of the sports men who came have been conducting themselves in careless fashion, even shooting into bands of cattle, and contemptously treating the protests of the Indian police.

PLANS WEIGHT MEASURE

R. E. Merritt, state inspector of weights and measures, stated he was preparing bill governing weights. He said a great deal of fraud was known to be practiced in Arizona in the weighing and measuring of pro- duce by persons who were not under bond and who were responsible to no authority that would prevent them from committing fraud. Merritt said he was studying the weight laws of California and Texas and had drawn up two bills, but had not decided which he would cause to be introduced.
