POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DIR. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
THE FAMILY MEDICINE.
CHEST

vEYHILE, as a rule, medicine should
w be given only on the doctors or
ders, there are a few medicines and
number of articles which should be
kept In every home for use In emer-
gencies and for carrying out the doc
tors orders in caring for any sick per
son In the household.
For first aid In cases Of accidents
and injury, there should be kept on
hand few clean bandages of various
widths. One-inch and two-inch sizes
are those most frequently used, with
q few half-inch bandages for tying up
cut fingers. These may be purchased
at the local drug store or made from
an old sheet. A worn sheet, after be-
ing washed and ironed and the hens
torn of, may be torn into strips OF
the desired width and each strip
rolled tightly and the ends secured
with a small pin. A small box Of abb
sorbent cotton. yard or two Of plain
gauze and a spool Of one-inch adhe.
sive plaster will furnish all the mate
rial needed for simple dressings.
Among the articles which are needed
in the sick room and which are Of
great help In the home In case Of emer-
gencies and sudden illness; are foun-
tain syringe, hot-water bag, bed
pan and a clinical thermometer.
Some Of these can be improvised
from other things. Bricks or fiat irons
heated in the oven can be wrapped in
flannel or large bottles or fruit jars
filled with hot water can be used In
place of a hOt-water bag. A screen
can be made by pinning sheet, shawl
or blanket over a clothes horse or
stretching them on heavy cord. In
a cottage in the northern woods last
summer, l made very satisfactory
and attractive tray by saving off the
bottom of heavy paste-board carton
in which breakfast food had been
shipped and lining it with paper nap
kins.
Among medicines and drugs, the fol-
lowing should be kept ready for use
when needed: Iodine for disinfecting
cuts and wounds, castor oil, olive oil,
vaseline In a tube for burns and
chapped hands, boric acid, mustard,
and medicated alcohol. Boric acid Is
best kept as saturated solution.

CarbOlic acid, lysol and chloride of

ARABS STORM
SYRIAN TOWNS
Eleven Villages Near Damascus

French Power Shaken.

London-A message from Jerusalem
to the national political league says
that guerilla warfare has spread over
vast areas in Syria between Damas-
Gus and Mons, 80 miles north of Da-
mascus on the railroad and is shaking
French conrol of the inundated region.
The message says that IL villages

eigners and native women are leaving
Damascus by the thousands, but that
native men are forbidden to leave.

LIGHT AND HEALTH

TT HAS long been known, in gen.
i eral way, that sunlight was neces-
sary to health, but it is only in recent
years that scientific men have even be-
gun to suspect that 1t was Of great
practical value in treating and curing
many diseases. Roller in Switzerland,
and Lo Grasso In New York, found
that the sun was of great assistance in
healing tuberculosis Of the skin and
bones But the sunlight must be used
intelligently. Roller found that the
early morning sun with the cool open
air was best, and that the hot midday
sun was not only Of much less benefit,
but might be actually harmful. Pa
tients with tuberculosis need the light
but not the heat rays, and so must be
protected from the heat but exposed
to the light.
1t has also been found that sunlight
Is of great benefit in ricketts,. But, here
too, 1t Is the light rays and not the
heat rays that are Of benefit. Now,
DR.. Leonard Hill of London, one of
the leading public health authorities
of England, says that sunlight is equal
ly valuable in treating fevers. In
recent address before the British Med
ical association, he told the doctors
that fever patients did better on ver-
andas than indoors, that they should
be given plenty of cool fresh air and
an abundance of light, but not heat.
T~a iof inf IN fhn nthnr' hond
are benefited by strong sunshine and
heat. The British Medical service in
the World war found that wounded
men did better outdoors than any
where else. In fact, this was so strik-
ing that Doctor Hill suggests that our
hospitals of the future, instead Of
great brick and stone buildings with
heavy walls and roofs, should be light
ly-built bungalows with open-air wards
with verandas and courts without any
roofs.
.We must teach people to get rid of
smoke especially in large Cities" he
says. Smoke clouds keep out the sun
light. We must also tell people to
wear less clothing and to expose their
skin to the sunlight" This is good
for animals as well as human beings.
To prevent and wipe out tuberculosis
in cattle, Doctor Hill suggests that
they be kept out of doors in the air
and sunlight.
Evidently, we have been living in too
close houses and wearing too much
clothing, and we need to get back to
simpler and more natural ways of liv-
ing.
