Things To Remember About
Electric Appliances

Elements: The element (tbe
part that heats or lights up) of
any electric appliance must be
treated with care. Dropping an APP
pliance is one of the chief causes
of damage to the element. Even if
the wires are not damaged, they
may become crossed and thus
cause a short circuit which can
burn out the element. Never touch
live exposed element to a metal
object. For example, fork should
never be used to remove slice of
bread from a toaster-the tines of
the fork may touch the element
and cause it to burn out. You can
also get serious shock this way.
If the element of any electric APP
pliance touches the metal frame,
the frame can act as an electrical
conductor. 1t will produce a shock,
or it may even start fire. Never
allow the element of any appli-
ance to come in contact with water.
If the element in any appliance has
been damaged, take it to an cleo
trician for repair.
Hand Irons: Never keep an iron
plugged into an outlet when the
iron is not in use. 1t is not suffi-
cient to turn off the switch-you
may think you did when you really
didn't. An iron should not be
plugged into lamp socket. Most
lamp sockets are not intended to
carry enough wattage to heat an
iron, and the iron probably won't
heat as well as it should. Always
be careful not to drop an iron and
always repair the cord as soon as
the insulation begins to wear.
Vacuum Cleaners: If a vacuum
cl6dIeE CduoCo a . pal n VI Jul iio
cut a fuse when it touches radi
ator or water pipe, it is sign that
something is wrong. In any event,
the cleaner should be checked by
an electrician before it is used
again.
Shock Hazards: Water is very
good conductor of electricity. 1t is
dangerous to handle any electric
appliance, pull cord, press but
ton, or turn on any electric switch
with wet hands. Never pull light
cord when you are in the bathtub.
Never touch a water faucet and
turn on light or touch an electric
appliance at the same time. If
there are small children in the
family, protect wall outlets with
caps made for the purpose SO that
probing little fingers will not re-
ceive a shock

DR.. Riley urges people to follow
the simple rule of reading the

carton or bottle, either as food or

against trusting to memory as to
where a particular preparation is

A. Coughing way be caused by
any one of several things. Dusty

cause of feed wastage in pork pro-
duction?
A. Mortalities. According to avail
able records, the average pork pro-
Queer does not market more than
SEQ of the pigs farrowed. 1t has
been estimated that each pig dead at

140 pounds of feed. A mortality a,

@. When should pigs be vaccin.
ated for cholera?
A. Pigs should be vaccinated for
hog cholera at six weeks of age. The
safe thing to do is TO vaccinate the
SOW for cholera before CESSATION
However, If this has not been done,
give the SOW hog cholera anti-serum
at the time the pigs are narrowed
Then at six weeks when the pigs are
vaccinated, vaccinate the SOW with

Health For All
Home Care of the Sick

~ NAAN ACA~AA
You may be called upon at any
time to take care of sick child or
adult in your home. When that
does happen, there are certain
things you should know and bear
IN mind to serve the best interests
of your patient.
Never attempt to diagnose or
treat a seriously ill person on
your own, or according to we'll
intentioned but amateur advice of
visitors. Call the doctor immedi-
ately and get the proper diagnosis
and instructions from him. Your
program of care for the sick per-
son should be an intelligent per-
Torrance of the Doctors orders
only.
Once the doctor has diagnosed
the patients illness and told you
what to do, follow his instructions
to the letter. When you care prop
erly for sick person in your
charge, you not only make him
comfortable but also help to speed
his recovery.
1t is often wise to write down
the doctors directions to help you
remember details. Perhaps the
doctor may want a written record
Of the patients reactions and
progress in between his personal
visits. The mere fact that he re-
quests it means that it is impor-
tant and is a vital part of your
care for the patient. Do it care
fully and conscientiously.
Although the doctor may pre-.
scribe special care and procedures
in many instances, a number of
general rules apply in all home
care of the sick.
While you are caring for the
sick person be cheerful, sympa-
thetic and optimistic in your atti-
tude. When you are in attendance,
at all times wear clothing that is
washable and can be kept clean
Wash your hands carefully with
soap and water before and after
attending the patient.
The sick person should have
quiet and privacy in a room to
himself, if at all possible. The
room itself should be we'll lighted
and easily ventilated and kept
scrupulously clean. A damp cloth
can be used daily to remove dust
without scattering or raising it.
The nearer the patient is to the
bathroom, the better it is for him
and his attendant if he is allowed
out of bed to go to the bathroom.
II a patient has discharges from
the nose and throat, use paper It's
sues that can be burned after use.
If your community has a public
health nurse or visiting nurse, ask
your doctor to send her to your
home and show you the best nurs-
ing methods to care for a sick
person.
Take advantage of any Red
Cross home-nursing class that
might be taught in your commun-
ity. Your enrolment for instruc-
ton would be excellent prepare
ton for any emergency that might
require your nursing care.

erately stalled in hopes that cor
respondents would lose interest.
Not only have Gen. MacArthur's
men refused to answer queries, but
they have tried to shut off corre-
spondents from Japanese sources.
On more than one occasion, Jap
anese friends in official circles have
told me: "GHQ ordered me not to
discuss that subject with American
correspondents"
Three weeks ago I approached
Maj Gen. H. j. Casey, Gen. Mac
Arthur's chief engineer, on Army

Japan, subject which nobody at

Gen. Casey suggested that "the
people of Chicago are not interested
in details Of such story" Pressed,
he asked for written list of ques-
tions. A list was promptly sub

The manuscripts found by the Soviets

Ruchmuninoff Finds

The Associated Press reports from Mos
cow news of the discovery of two unpub-
hshed piano compositions by Sergei Rach-
maninoff,. Nothing concerning the titles,
the dates or the artistic character of the
manuscripts is mentioned in the dispatch;
but the world of music, knowing the great
aristocrat Of the keyboard has reason to
hope that the new finds will confirm, II
not add to their authors present fame.
Anything written by Rachmaninon Is
likely to be important. He was supreme
melodist, musicians musician who also
was appreciated by the lay public. The
list Of his productions includes, besides his
celebrated preludes, three symphonies, four
piano concertos, "Paganini Rhapsody" for
piano and orchestra, choral setting for
Poe's Bells q symphonic poem based on
Boecklin's isle Of the Dead" six choruses
Tor women's voices two operas, Z, number
of songs, mass and other sacred themes
for the Orthodox Church.
None of his conceptions was political.

With good reason the opposition has
described this as an incentive destroying
capital levy. What makes 1t dificult to
understand is that Sir Stafford has advo-
Gated it In connection with a budget
designed not only to curb imitation, but
also to stimulate production.
The special investment levy to one side,
however, the new budget has been gen.
orally well received In London as real
istic effort to cope with the great
difficulties afilicting the British economy.
Those dificulties are bound to continue
for many long month, even though our
aid, in the European Recovery Program
should play vital role in easing them.
The average Briton, In short, cannot look
forward to a near-future relief from
austerity, either as regards his living
standards or what he must pay out to
the government. The point is worth bear
ing in mind whenever we are inclined to
feel sorry for ourselves as American
taxpayers.
