THE FIRST CONCERN.
CLEANLINESS MOST ESSENTIAL IN |
GIVING INJURED FIRST AID.
R. S. Copeland, M. D.
If “Cleanliness is next to godli-
ness,” as the Biblical saying goes,
then certainly, it should be applied
in the case of an injured member of
the anatomy. |
Everyone should know what to
do in case of a cut or a wound in
the flesh. i
When we speak of cleanliness in
this sense we speak of surgical |
cleanliness. |
A surgeon will use bi-chloride of
mercury or some- other antiseptic in
treating a wound, but in first aid
rendered by a layman water, which
has been boiled and cooled is one
of the best things with which to
wash out a wound. It mattersnot
whether the wound is a cut with a
knife or there is a tear in the flesh
by a piece of tin or rusty nail. In
any case absolute cleanliness is the
secret of right healing.
Before touching the victim’s wound
a person should wash his hands very
thoroughly with soap and water.
Then clean the finger-nails careful-
ly, after which wash the hand again. '
Apply the sterilized water, either
pouring it copiously over the wound
or applying it with pieces of steriliz-
ed gauze or cotton. Wash out every
particle of dirt, splinters, bits of
rust or any other foreign substance.
Clean the wound thoroughly with
the water.
After cleaning the wound should |
be dried with a piece of the gauze.
Then the edges of the wound should
be brought together with strips of
adhesive tape, using the strips cross-
wise of the wound. The wound
should not be entirely covered, but
enough left exposed so that there
will be drainage.
Then cover the whole with several
layers of gauze and bandage it well.
Of course, later, a surgeon can use
sutures and give treatment if nec-:
essary.
If the patient is in a place where
sterilized water cannot be had in an
emergency the cleanest water pos-:
sible should be used. The ban-;
daging can be done with a clean |
piece of cloth or clean handker- |
chief. However, the wound should
be seen by.a doctor as soon as pos-
sible and the proper treatment given.
Every household should heve a first
aid kit. It can be had very reason-
ably. Have at least a solution of
iodine (a 7 per cert solution is all
right) apply it to cuts and other
injuries. It should be painted on
and around the wound before wash-
ing with sterilized water.
CARE OF NOSEBLEED
What a number of things there
are to worry about! A lot of worry-
ing is done over nosebleed.
One of the most common of child-
hood’s ailments is bleeding from the
nose. Usually it-is not at all seri-
ous.
Nosebleed is almost always founded
on some local disturbance, easily
accounted for and corrected.
It is always well to see a doctor
if nosebleed occurs often, or if the
bleeding is long continued.
A very great loss of blood is mot
good for anyone. But sometimes
Nature takes this way of getting rid
of too much blood in one place, a
congested area somewhere in the
body.
In our northern climate, especial-
ly on the Atlantic sea coast, and in-
land on the Great lakes, where there
is much moisture in the atmosphere,
catarrh is one of the most common
ailments.
One who has repeated colds and
catarrh is very apt to have mnose-
bleed from broken tissues in the
nose. There is a chronic inflam-
mation of the tissues. Scabs or
crusts are formed in the nose and
when removed bleeding is sure to
be produced.
In some acute
fevers nosebleed
is a symptom. Measles, influenza,
pneumonia, diphtheria, whooping-
cough, scarlet fever, and especially
typhiod fever are such diseases.
Conditions where the quality of the
blood is reduced as in anemia, may
be accompanied by nosebleed.
Of course, if you have a blow on
the nose or some other injury there
you would expect to have bleeding
after it. But don’t worry; nature
has provided a clotting of the blood
to stop the flow of blood. The or-
dinary natural processes will usual-
ly stop the nosebleed.
There are several simple remedies
that can be used in case of mose-
bleed. Cold applications on the back
of the neck or over the nose are
recommended.
Sometimes, putting the feet in
hot water will draw the circulation
from the head and thus assist in
controlling the bleeding. Pinching
the nose between the thumb and
finger will make pressure sufficient
often to control the hemorrhage.
Another good thing to use is
tannic acid dissolved in water. This
can be applied on cotton. Clear
the nose by blowing out the blood
clots and then push into the nasal
passage a cotton tampon saturated
with the fluid.
You may use peroxide of hydrogen
or adrenalin chloride in the same
manner. The latter is a solution
which has marked astringency.
The sight of blood is apt to fright-
en people. We are taught that the
blood stream is the very life of the
FARM NOTES.
— Provide mow for a better milk
producing inheritance in your future
herd. Use a good sire from a line
of breeding better than that now
represented in the herd.
— Leaves make a good fertilizer
when spaded into the garden soil.
They also make a good mulch and
protection to rose bushesand shrubs
from damage by frost.
— The education of the colt should
not be postponed until it is desired
to break him as a 3-year-old. The
colt should be broken to the use of
the halter early and prevented from
becoming willful and headstrong.
— Tender evergreens can be pro-
tected with straw, evergreen boughs,
corn fodder, or burlap. Free cir-
culation of air should be allowed.
—In planning next year’s work,
try a system which will include
several of the crops most profitable
in the region over a period of years.
You can store vegetable root
crops in a barrel outdoors if it is
well covered with layers of soil and
straw or leaves. The barrel head
makes a good door.
—To fatten the farm turkey for
Thanksgiving, November 27, next,
begin about the first of October,
says the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. At first feed just enough
to keep the bird a little hungry, and
gradually increase the food until it
gets all it will clean up three times
a day during the week before Kkill-
ing. Some turkey growers feed
equal parts of corn, wheat and oats
in the first part of the fattening
' period and gradually change to corn
alone as the weather grows cooler.
Old corn is a much better feed than
new corn. The old corn should not
be musty.
— With pullets coming into pro-
duction, the average poultryman will
be alarmed by the large proportion
of small eggs that he gathers. Pul-
let eggs are to be expected during
the first three or four weeks of
each pullets production. After a
bird has been in production for
several weeks, she should be laying
standard size eggs, provided, of
course, that she has the breeding
that enables her to do so. Clean
nests will also be a big advantage
to the young pullets.
—If your laying hens aren't get-
ting yellow corn every day, give
them all the green, leafy alfalfa hay
they care to eat, advises W.C.
Tully, of North Dakota Agricultural
college. = With no green grass or
other fresh leafy feeds, biddy hasa
hard time keeping thrifty and lay-
ing eggs, too. Vitamin A is a
feed element most North Dakota
hens find lacking in their winter
rations, unless they are getting
either yellow corm, alfalfa hay or
cod liver oil.
—Some poultry breeders have the
impression that the larger the comb
the better breeder the bird will
prove. It is true that small shrivel-
ed combs are either temporarily out
of production or are poor layers.
The same kind of a comb on a male
would lead one to expect him to
make a poor breeder. The opposite
is not necessarily true, that the
largest combed birds are any bet-
ter breeders than those with combs
of average size.
—A new breed of hen, not much
heard of as yet, is called the Red
Leghorn. It was recognized by the
American Poultry association in Au-
gust, 1929. This is what is some-
times called a “Manufactured breed”;
in other words, it is produced by
cross-breeding. A report on the
new variety says that the first
crosses were made with Sussex
Brown Leghorns and Rhode Island
Reds. Further crosses were made
with the stock got from the cross.
with Brown Leghorns. Buff Leg-
horns have earned a high reputation
for egg production, but the new red
variety promises to eclipse all other
varieties because of its vigorous
constitution, which it has inherited
from its Rhode Island Red ancestry.
The variety was first exhibited at
Oakland coliseum show in 1925, and
since then it has become fairly pop-
ular with American utilitarians.
—With certain minor exceptions,
as in the wool of sheep and the
milk of dairy cows, practically all
the potash in the feeds and fodders |
consumed by our farm stock is ex-
creted by the kidneys. More than
90 per cent of the total potash ex-
creted by the animals is to be found
in the urine, and this in addition to
the fact that one-half or more of
the total nitrogen excreted is also
present in the liquid excrete. It
thus comes about that, weight for
weight, urine has a greater manurial
value than the solid excrement, and
this not only by reason of itslarger
percentages of potash and nitrogen,
but because these constituents are
in a soluble condition and practical-
ly at once available for the nutrition
of crops.
—How much grain and the kind
of grains to feed tocows on pasture
depend upon the condition of the
cows and the condition of the grass.
Thin cows will need more grain than
those that are in good flesh, and as
a rule will also need grain rations
that are not qutie asrich in protein
as the latter. If the grass is still
fairly fresh and succulent less pro-
tein is also needed in the grain
ration than if the grass has become
mature and scanty.
body, and, of course, itis. But fear
is foolish, for it sets the heart to
beating strongly, and this, in turn,
increases the bleeding. Say sooth.
ing things to the patient. Calm his
fears.
If everything is not all right ina
short time, call a doctor or take
the patient to the nearest clinic.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN
MARY ANN
The best of all the folks I know,
Is Mary Ann.
She’s rather freckled, plain and slow,
Is Mary Ann.
She cannot sing a bit, or dance, ;
She knows naught of a coquet’s glance,
Does Mary Ann.
But when the old troubles come to you,
Then Mary Ann.
Her awkward hands are soft to touch,
Her freckles do not matter much,
You feel that angles might be such
As Mary Ann.
—Ruth Herhor, in Rural
—An and old-fashioned quilting
bee was held at the ninth annual
exposition of women’s arts and in-
dustries, New York, Oct. 6to 11.
Groups of women sewed together at
wooden frames as in pioneer days.
The affair was sponsored by the
New York City Federation of Wo-
men’s Clubs.
Mrs. Alice Palmer Mitchell, 85,
maker of the first quilt successful-
ly manufactured by machinery 60
years ago, was chairman of the
committee.
Quality of workmanship alone was
the point stressed in awarding
prizes, which was gold pieces and
modern wool-filled quilts.
The quilting bee was open to any
skillful needlewoman. All materials
were supplied at the exposition,
where an original quilting frame
was set up complete with a quilt-
ing cover and stamped design.
A noted authority on quilting,
Mrs. Ruth E. Finley, acted as judge.
—Skirts were longer last fall
than they had been in the summer.
But skirts are a little longer this
fall than they were last fall.
New oYrker.
‘—Waistlines were higher last fall
than they had been. But not so
high as they are this fall. Now it’s
normal waistline—or as near normal
as your figure permits. -
And this combination of longer
skirt and higher waistline gives a
longer-limbed look to the fall, 1930,
dress than that owned by fashion,
1929.
Youll like them better this fall.
You're more used to them. Last
year the change seemed abrupt. But
by this time you're ready for those
new dresses. And youll like them.
They're beautiful!
— Skirts had an abrupt flare in
the fall of 1929. This year they're
straighter, though still easily full.
There’s not so much of a bell shape
to them. The fullness is more apt
to be placed nearer the front than
the sides.
Last year the fullness in a skirt
was released at ahigher point than
it is this year. Now—though full-
ness may start higher up—as in
dresses with pleats beginning at the
waistline— itis released lower down.
The pleats that begin high up are
stitched down to a low piont on the
skirt—leaving the hips flat. And
this, too, helps give the skirt a
straighter look.
__Clothes may be divided into
three parts. .
First, those one wears regularly
—and the closet never seems to
hold enough of them.
Second, clothes that are out of
season but which are in good shape
and can be worn again.
Third, clothes that are so worn
and so out of style that there isn’t
a chance of their ever serving a
useful purpose again. Why doesn’t
one throw them away? Perhaps
they are bound up with delightful
memories—or they were rare tri.
umphs of dresses in which one al-
ways looked splendid. Make up
your mind to throw them out—at-
tack the closet ruthlessly—but in a
weak moment they are slipped out
of the discard pile and back into
closet again.
For such of us who need overflow
space, either for sensible or weak
reasons, there's nothing likea sturdy
cedar chest. They come in all
sorts of shapes and sizes so as to
fit anywhere. Some are beautiful
enough to be decorative in a well-
fitted bedroom. Some are the size
and shape that canbe slipped under
a window, covered with a velvet
cushion and serve as a pleasant
window seat.
If space is not available for the
exposed cedar chest, a mew type
may answer the same purpose very
well. It is called the underbed
cedar chest and that's just what
it is. The shape and size differ
from the regular chests. These are
anywhere from 40 to 48 inches long,
18 to 24 inches wide and from 21
to 24 inches high, so it makes up
for it the other way, and is 49 in-
ches long, 23 inches wide and 9
inches high. Also it is set on easy
rollers so that it can be shoved in
and out with no effort. It’s as
well made as the other type amply
Protsciing contents from dust and
moths.
—Dustless dusters can be made
by dipping clean dust cloths into a
mixture of two tablespoonfuls of
linseed or vegetable oil and a pint
of gasoline or benzine. The cloths
should be hung outdoors in the
shade to dry, and are then ready for
use.
—Egg Pie—We are not prepared
to say whether this most resembles
a custard or a souffle, but certain-
ly it violates the rules of egg cook-
ery—yet it still remains delicious:
1 tablespoon butter, 5 tablespoons
flour, 1 quart milk, scalded, 5 eggs,
separated, 1 teaspoon salt. Rub
the butter and flour together and
pour on the scalded milk, taking
care that it is perfectly smooth.
Beat the egg yolks with the salt
and add to the milk and flour bat-
ter. Beat well and add the egg
whites, beaten stiff. Bake ina hot
oven (though this is heresy) —400
degees F.—for 35 minutes and serve
at once, as it will fall if allowed to
stand.
This amount will serve eight.
Chopped ham or fish added to the
recipe is marvelous. Allow about
one cup of ham and decrease the salt
if necessary.—Marie Heyward.
WHAT AMERICA OWES ?
GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE
Not one of the speakers at the
dedication in Pittsburgh of a mon-
ument to George Westinghouse
brought out adequately the biggest
thing of all he did for the human
race.
It was George Westinghouse who
made possible through his develop-
ing alternating current, the trans-
mission of great quantities of elec.
tric power over long distances and
its distribution in retail quantities.
As a result twenty millions of our
homes and nearly a million of our
farms today enjoy the unique bene-
fits of electricity at very low cost.
Also, George Westinghouse’s alter-
nating current made possible both
the centralization and the decentral-
1zation of industries.
His own companies give employ-
ment to some 60,000 employees, but
that number is infinitesimal com-
pared with the millions of pay enve-
lopes that have been filled for many
years through the widespread dis-
semination of electric current.
Moreover, the poducts of Westing-
house's brain have made it possible
forus all to live better at lower cost.
The monument itself is peculiarly
fitting—and, as was Westinghouse
himself, peculiarly American. A
life-size youth stands beholding
George Westinghouse at work sur-
rounded with artistically executed
symbols of his main inventions.
George Westinghouse and his ca-
reer appeal grippingly to the im.
agination of the youth of America.
Stopping swiftly-moving trains by
air, what romance there was in that.
Westinghouse’s railroad switching
and signaling system embodied ver-
itable magic. So with others of
his brain children.
Above and beyond that, George
Westinghouse, not only early but
also late in life, had to tread the
pathway of disappointment, hardship,
obsctacles innumerable. But through
it all this genius, who cared little
for money, proved himself a full-
statured man. Neither his faith
nor his vision was dimmed for new
achievements mever slackened.
Westinghouse had the good fortune
of being loved by his own associates
and his own workers. It was they,
over 50,000 of them, who inspired
and financed the new monument.
What a gathering of all ranks of
human beings attended the impres-
sive unveiling in a sylvan spot of
exquisite beauty.

Yorkers to be the premier candy
mnibblers of the nation, consuming
150,000,000 pounds annually. Pennsyl-
vania consumes 126,679,995 pounds;
Illinois, 90,967,955; Ohio, 80,077,000;
Massachusetts, 57,045,256, and Cali-
fornia, 51,108,485.
