PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
By WILLIAM BRADY. N. D.

Sir Edward Schafer. Many thousands
of laymen have received instructions in
the application of this life-saving
maneuver, and indeed 1t Is so simple
that every child over 4 years Of age
should know how to resuscitate and be
physically capable Of doing so In any
emergency. But the majority Of lay
students Of first aid have learned the
wrong method refer particularly to
the error of placing the subjects hand
or forearm under the head-and II the
subject be a victim of submersion this
mistake in technic creates q trap
which retains any trif1e of fluid that
may happen to be in the breathing pas
sages and, In my opinion, defeats the
effort at life saving In not few in
stances.
How this error of technic crept into
the general practice Of lfe-saving In
struction In America, 1t Is difficult TO
learn. I suspect some one introduced
It primarily TO make Q more pleasing
photograph or picture for publication;
perhaps, too the volunteer subject pre-
ferTed not to rest his cheek on the
ground. However 1t happened in the
first place, q great many authoritative
tionS have adopted the error and now
teach 1t In all cases. It Is not so seri-
Gus an error II the victim happens to
be suffering from asphyxia or from
electric shock. But no matter what
the condition may be, there is only one
correct method Of applying Schafer's
prone pressure resuscitation, and that
Is described and pictured IN our re-
suScitation booklet

HELPING Newlyweds.

"Dear Mimi: My daughter wa,
married last year to o young man o.
whom I disapproved, not because Of
ANYTHING fundamentally wrong, but be.
cause he struck me as being q spoiled
youngster who needed Q bunch OF hard
knocks before he would amount t.
anything.
"He was making q good salary, bu;
had a lot of debts and urged them to
wait until he was on his feet financially
before taking q permanent or serious
step. MY wife, however, sided with the
boy and girl, and they nagged me until
I gave my consent.
"The result Is that my daughter has
turned to me every few months tol
money to tide them over She Is ex-
travagant and not used to hardship, and
I hated to think of her doing without
things. Her husband doesn't appear
to have any pride In the matter. In
fact, strongly suspect him Of helping
her cook up successful schemes for get
ting q touch. They seem TO think II
IL no more than I ought to do.
80 far I have helped them when
she has asked, but I don't Like his
attitude, or hers, for that matter, and
wonder II I'm not doing them more
harm than good"
You arel Nothing is more OF q nm
drance to a young mans getting ahead
than that "why-worry? some -one-will-
put UP" feeling-especially to spoiled
youngster such as you describe. Often
a mans greatest incentive Is his de.
sire to see his wife well dressed and
well provided for In general. You re.
move that by supplying your daughter
with luxuries, which it Is her husbands
privilege to give her and to which she
Is not entitled until he can afford them.
Not only are you unfair to him, but
to her, for you are fdepriving her Of the
right to depend upon and to be proud
of her husband.
BY your mistaken kindness, you pre-
vent your daughter from developing
learning the fundamental principles OF
sound economics, and helping her hus-
band lay the foundations for their fu-
ture security.
To assist q struggling young couple
through q financial crisis is one thing;
to subsidize them so they may live
continually above their income " quite
another.
The first is an act which bears no
bad fruit-the second . practice which
causes nothing but unfortunate results
for all concerned.

have Mrs Ninian Edwards, the sister
of Mrs. Lincoln, visit them: Good ana

Edwards had a great influence over
her.
After the Lincolns had settled in the
White House, many cordial invitation
went to Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards TO come
for a visit. They accepted finally. But
by now the tragedy Of civil war had
come and Lincoln'S life was Swallowed
by sorrow and anxiety almost con-
stantly.
Mrs. Edwards made determined ef-
fort to bring some cheer into his days.
To turn his thoughts away from affairs
of state, she led him to the White
House conservatory.
How beautiful these flowers arel"
she exclaimed, as she pointed out the
glories of the place. How gorgeous

Mr.. Lincoln trudged patiently after

he said: Eyes, this whole thing looks

II you were to have your choice Of q

There are so many styles from which
to choose that it is quite difficult to
know what particular style to select.
OF course, the room in which these
tables are to be used and the furniture
with which they are to be grouped have
q great deal to do with the design.

Released from ofdcial surroundings,

conscious Of his own or any one else's
existence"
Food did not interest him. He ate
mechanically. Indeed, at table, he would
sit so absorbed in thought that he
would have to be reminded Of his food.
Sometimes Mrs. Lincoln, filled With
anger, would read to him attacks csr-
tain newspapers had made on him. He
would ask here to deSiSt.

would say, but yet care nothing for
them. If I'm right Ill live, and II

When Mrs Edwards finally announced
that she and her husband must return

Afterward she told friends that he

First-Aid Kit.


We have sent out to more than 49,

the instructions for Preparing and
Using the Pocket First-aid Kit" New
readers may have a copy If they will
write to me, ask for 1t (no clipping)
and Inclose a stamped envelope bearing
the return address.
When was planning the pocket first
aid kit I assumed that everybody who
could read would know how to resusci-
tate q victim of submersion in water,
electric shock, gas or smoke asphyxia
or any poisoning that stops respiration.
I was younger then. I'm wiser now.
I know that a lot of people who can
read and even write and cipher and
everything haven't the faintest idea
about resuscitation and are worse than
useless in an emergency. How such
people ca1 ito sleep at night Is more
than can understand; but then, no
body is his brothers keeper, If brother

himself drowned or shocked with light

who have the pocket emergency kit In

will now write in for the little booklet
on resuscitation which describes and IL
illustrates the right way and the wrong
way to perform artificial respiration.
Do not send me any clippings about
this. Just write and ask for the re-

envelope bearing your address. I'll be
glad to send the booklet, and hope
you viii keep it with the first-aid IN

but all or nearly all that I have seen
are incorrect, and that is why I have
