DECEMBER GRAY

GGbg1St120 Sc.erce Monitor
 December is more than the eldest Of the family Of months It has sirgGler beauty. enigmatie appeal The l2rGscaDe has lost the shades of hrOEn which distinguished the season of Indian Summer. Orer the earth has spread the blanket Of bien6ed grays which predc.il' mates until the snow has changed the gray to E.hite.
 There are gray days: days of drskF. murky gray; days of peariy transparent gray. On the pasture hills 1des ard in the lox,ands mea- 6OEs the frost-iaden. lambert grasses keep their silre-y-gray tone 1h-0ugh the short gray hours Q. 6atsgl1t.

 Sametimes the sun breaks through the gray clouds; for short time an rnfense light floods the countryside. The mountains ard hills are reveal Ingly clear in the cold ar: the ever greens of the swamp seem a deeper. greensr hue: the nehen-patterned. weather beaten gray stone walls seem to cling closer to the earth.

The Other Extreme

Officials, particularly those concerned with enforcement Of fire and building safety laws may become bit overzealouS in their efforts to protect the public from such disastrous blazcs as those which caused heavy loss of life in Boston, Mass, and St. Johns, New Foundland of recent date. Up in Hartford now there has been a ban placed on smoking in department stores. A week or so ago in New Britain smoking was prohibited in practically every public place where a group of peo- pie might congregate, such as restaur- ants, taverns, hotels, etc.
 This interest is, of course, commend able, but 1t should be tempered WiCh lot of calmness and wisdom. Much damage has been done which can't be undone. We don't want repetition Of what has hap pened, but neither do we want to act now as if everything person does constitutes a menace to public safety. In other words let's be careful to avoid any mistakes made in the past and which recent fire disasters have revealed, but let's not swing away around to the other extreme in doing it.
 There probably should be closer SUI veillance by the proper authorities of pub lie gathering places. But every such place isn't Veritable fire-trap nor are its patrons threatened by smoking therein. And the same holds true for other pub lie places, large stores, etc. If building laws are conformed to; if there is proper regard for the safety of the public; if of ficials are on their job in regular and thorough inspections; if owners and man. agers are solicitous for public welfare, a lot of unnecessary prohibitions can be eliminated and the attendant unpleasant notoriety.

A Lesson For Us

The North African adventure teaches one valuable lesson. That is, we should not be too nasty in judging something about which we know nothing. For months there was concerted campaign to discredit the State Department par- ticularly Secretary HulD for its policy toward the Vichy government, which was denounced as one of appeasement.
 Now we have reaped some of the fruits of that policy. We have accomplished most of a major victory, which unques- tiOnably will shorten the war at a rela- lively petty cost in time, armannents, and human lives. We are on the verge of clearing the Mediterranean for use of United Nations supply. We have nearly prepared a jumping off place tor the attack upon Continental Europe We have strengthened pre-democracy neu- trals, and frightened pro-Axis neutrals. We have all but ruined Italys morale.
 We obtained control over Dakar with out firing shot. We deprived the Aazis of any possible use of the strong French fleet, and even obtained portions of lt tor ourselves. Moreover, we maneuRered Der Fuehrer into spreading his forces yet thinner by forcing occupations of tne remainder of France. In doing thls me has antagonized Is0st of the Bremen

IPECAC COMES BACK

We old timers in practice often gave young child or infant choked Up with bronchitis from one to two teaspoonfuls of syrup of ipecac as an enetic. The vomiting caused by the ipecac followed in perhaps fif- teen minutes, and helped the child to get rid of much inucus, after which the child would be confort- able for while, relieved of ob- struction to breathing. If the ipecac failed to work as an emetic 1t prob- ably worked as a physic and so got rid of much fnucus secretion from the bronchial passages which the child had failed to cough Up and swallowed instead.
 Of course syrup of epicac is not a good emetic for emergency use as in case child has swallowed poison. It Is much too slow in &C., tion--too long to wait fiften min utes in such circumstance. The best first aid emetic for infant, child or adult who has swallowed poison is copper sulfate. commonly called blue yitriol. Give Q young infant one grain of copper sulfate dissolved in 6 tablespoonful of water, as n quick emetic. Give a child over three years of age three grains in one or two tablespoons of water. Give an older child or an adult five grains in five tablespoonfuls Of water.
 I can't tell you how to measure one grain. But instead I advise you to have your druggist prepare for you solution of five grains of cop- per sulfate in two fluid ounces of water in a plain two. ounce corked vial. Label 1t Copper Suifate-. Emetic Dose for infant table- spoonful, for adult the entire con- tents of the vial.
 Yes. copper sulfate is poisonous, if you take enough of 1t. Not, how ever, in the quantity required as an emetic. It has one great virtue as an emetic in an emergency--it acts almost ipstartaneousiy. l uGed 1t successfully at different times for two of my own children, when they managed to get hold of and eat Eone bichiorIde of mercury (corro- giye sublimate) tablets, ard I have always felt grateful to good old Dr. Abraham Jacobi, father of pedia- tries, who taught me the value Of copper su.fate as an emetic.
 Tn the treatment of the asthmatic attack syrup of ipecac is almost as valuable as adrena.in, indeed 1t seems to bring great relief in some eases when adrenaiin falls. Give the infant one-half teasroonful Of syrup Of ipecac: if this does not cause vomiting give two teaspoon fulS after waiting fifteen minutes. Give an older child or adult two or three teaspoonfuls first dose. Fol IoW the ipeeac with warm water. Often the effect on the difficult breathing Is astonisihng-the yorn- ting serves to expel masses or pluts of thick exuGate which have blocked bronchial tubes, and these plugs may be seen in the material vomit- ed. Release of the osbtruction b:ings comparatively easy breathing. CPhysiciaEs will find the scientific basis for this in contribution of Bret Rather. NJ. D.. to N. Y. State Jour. Of Medicine. Ncy. 42).
 An eneic dose of syrup Of ipe- cac is still the best treatment for a severe attack of group.
