of them full of pep. The first thing
| was n heart to heart talk by DR.. Sing
er. and say. fellows. IL you have never
heard him you don't know what you
have missed. He kept us laughing and
yet told us some things that will come
in handy some day. He talked most
ly about the rattesnakc and snake
bites. IL any one gets bit by u snake
tho first thing TO do is to put n tour
niquet bandagc between the bite and
the body, making tho tourniquct very
tight for fifteen minutes. then loosen
ing 1t up entirely, and then tightening
it up again Immediately. The idea of
this is to let just a little bit of the
poison into the body at a time. At
tho same time you arc working the
tourniquot. give tho bitton man two or
three glasses of water every fifteen
minutes. This way no will be able to
wash all the poison out thru his kid
neys. Just TO show how this works
out, IL you wcro to put tho same
amount OF poison into n bucket OF
water that tho snake puts into you.
you could drink the water without it
doing you much harm. Just so by us
ing the tourniguct and drinking lots
of water you can so dilute the poison
that 1t will not hurt you. In using the
tourniquet be sure and do not let II
stay on over fifteen minutes because
it will injuro the limb below the BAN
dage.
wo adopted DR.. Singer and no has
promised TO come often and give us
something practical. Next time he
will give us some more first aid and
