SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch

10y LIZ AUul0 As AASNAA
DY hemorrhage is meant an
- escape of blood from the blood
vessels no matter what part Of the
body.
When the hemorrhage is from
an artery the blood is character
istically Of bright red color and
spurts in unison with the beats OF,
the heart. II the hemorrhage Is
from a vein the blood is dark or
blush and the flow is steady. un-
interrupted, and without spurts.
If a small capillary is involved
there is much less blood as rule.
than in the case Of an artery or
vein and the flow may be described
as oozing.
AS soon as any blood vessel is
cut nature itself tries to repair
the damage as best it can. When
an artery is cut the muscular walls
Immediately contract, thereby
making the cut openings smaller.
When vein, the thin walls col
lapse so as to obstruct the flow of
blood as much as possible.
In any event the tissues like
wise do everything possible to
form a clot, that is, coagulation
of the blood at the point of injury,
which acts like plug and allows
the torn or cut vessels to repair
themselves.
However, when blood flows pro.
fusely the opportunity is not given
for a clot to form. That IS why
aside from trying to reduce loss or
blood to minimum-we must at
tempt always to reduce the flow.
If it's merely a matter of ooz-
ing, simple pressure with the
finger over the injury will suf-
flee. But if the hemorrhage comes
from an artery pressure should be
exerted at some point between the
cut and the heart, since the
blood is flowing in the artery from
the heart in the direction of the
wound. If the hemorrhage comes
from a vein, and in veins the
blood flows toward the heart,
then the pressure should be ap'
piled at point below the wound
and away from the heart. When
in doubt as to whether it is an
artery or vein that is injured
exert pressure both above and
below the wound.
The so-called "tourniquet" is
used when ordinary pressure does
not stop the hemorrhage. A tourni'
quet can quickly be made by
tying a handkerchief or band OF
cotton or anything around the IN
o. jured part-toward or away from
the heart as before, depending on
whether it be an arterial or ven
Gus hemorrhage-and then twist
ing the band tightly with piece
of wood or some other useful OBJ
ject.
In wounds of the arms or legs,
where the veins are involved, eie-
vation of the limb often aids
greatly.
The application of heat or cold.
as with wet cloth, often stops
slight bleeding, as it contracts the
vessels and the tissues.
An effective household remedy
is vinegar or powdered aIun.
Such aids. however, are only use
full when the hemorrhage Is not
severe.
The sight of blood often alarms
people, although bleeding wound
is not necessarily a serious one.
AS a matter of fact, in the oroi-
nary cut or bruise a degree OF
bleeding is helpful, as 1t cleanses
the wound and reduces the danger
of infection.

IA lies on my desk.
Four years ago the girl who
wrote il was a radiant young
dreamer. She lived with her
family in small country town
and life was gentle and merry
and reasonable. Everything went
as everything should go--as

minister and her school teachers
had told her everything would so.
Then, quite suddenly she was
thrown out of that peaceful set.

in big city.
For four years she has faced
life as it really is and the sight
has numbed and embittered her.
None of the old rules. to which
she pinned her faith, have
worked. On every side she sees
the wicked flourishing and the
righteous being forced to the
wall. Often, / suspect, she has
tried to ask God about it as she
used to ask Him about things
back in that little country town.
But there seems to be no God
about the hard, city roofs, and
she is quite desperate.

Roseben was the property of John
A. Drake and when Drake sold out
his stable Johnson bid the horse in
for $4,000 and never did man make
better investment than that.
In a single season the horse
netted him S183, 500 in winnings, not
counting other countless thousands
i'm stakes. At least three times dur
ing that riotous season Johnson is
known to have made $50,000 in a
single day-for he played the card
right through from top to bottom.
Yet, with his customary non
chalance and lack of perspective. 1t
was Johnson himself who came near
killing the goose that laid the
golden eggs. Roseben was a
sprinter. pure and simple, but John
son figured he ought to be dis
tance horse as well, and began en-
tering him for distance races. Rose
ben lost, and Johnson with him
and the distance running took its
toll. Roseben failed and the John
son fortunes tumbled.
Eventually broke and without
backing, Johnson was forced to
sell his stable. ROSeben, his IA
VOrite, he turned over to Ap-
pleby, his partner in the old
booking firm of Appleby and
Johnson. Probably it was the
bitterest hour of his whole lie
when he had to let ROseben go.
But he smiled then, even though
there were tears streaming down his
face. Appleby. a smart racing man,

the Nemsis of Dick Garfield, was
hot on Johnson's trail, and the man
whose credit was good for thousands
discovered suddenly that he was
just an ordinary citizen, and an
undesirable one at that. in the
eyes of the law.
Unlike Garfield. johnson was
no part fighter. Once Jerome
started after him Johnson gave up,
and today in the files OF the Dis
trict Attorneys office you viii FIND
one OF the strangest documents In
history. Signed by Johnson is an
agreement with Jerome whereby he
admits his guilt as a common gam
bier and agrees to permit any lnspec-
tor bearing Jerome's card to enter
his house for searching purposes
at any and all times.
That agreement was the kneH
10 Davey JOlnsOn's career as
gambling house operator, and,
with his gambling house closed,
the source of his recOuping tOr-
tune was done for.
After that Johnson lived for but
one thing. He wanted to put by
sufficient funds to provide for his
youngster and his wife. But even
in this he failed. Luck. that had
smiled so happily through the years
deserted him.
In 1911 death came, following an
operation for cancer, and Davey
Johnson passed out OF the gambling
picture, leaving behind him only
memories of friends that were and
a wife almost destitute. 1T was q
sad finale to career that blossomed
with thrill and excitement.
Mrs. Johnson, too proud to ask
aid of relatives or friends, sold her
few possessions and set aside the
money as a fund for her child.
Then she obtained a position as a

she was forgotten. and into oblivion
with her went the thousands or

The Old Liners, as per annual
custom. will start the ball rolling
against Washington College on Sep

Southern Conference games with
North Carolina and South Carolina

The "Gray Fox of Schenectady"
