Intonce Heat Has Marked the
Past Four Days.
How to Treat Cases of Pros
tration. The weather man has been totally
unmindful of the comfort of human
ity for the past week. Sat unlay and
Sunday were hotter than the same
days in many years, but the weather
on Monday seemed to break all rec
ords, and the mercury mounted to
points in the thermometers never
reached before, or at least not within
the memory of our oldest resident.
In comparatively shaded places, tem
pered by a breeze, the 98 mark was
reached, and in exposed positions,
where old Sol's rays had full sweep,
104 was not uncommon. Employees
in the various foundries and mills suf
lered the most from the excessive
heat. At the silk mill the mercury
Monday afternoon registered 106,
while in the foundry department of
the American School Furniture Com
pany's plant it was 114. Notwith
standing the terrific heat there have
been enly four prostrations recorded
and no fatalities.
It is probably safe to say that
liloomsburg has never experienced
such weather. People who have never
been known to complain of the heat
are completely unnerved, and the en
tire populace is suffering. A great
deal of the discomfort is no doubt
due to the fact that the heated period
is several weeks earlier this season
than usual. Had it come by degrees,
instead of so sudden and early, the
misery and suffering would be far
ess.
It is to be hoped that the worst is
passed. Government forecasters are
predicting early relief. A drop in
temperature is expected to-day.
The following on the cause of pros
tration and how to treat cases, is
given by J. Howard Taylor, Chief
Medical Inspector of Philadelphia's
Board of Health :
Many cases of heat prostrations are
due to indulgence in alcholic drinks.
All stimulants should be avoided dur
ing hot weather.
Dark, close-fitting and heavy cloth
ing", and such as compresses the chest
and neck, should not be worn. For
those who are obliged to labor in the
sun, light clothing and a straw or light
felt hat, permitting free circulation ot
the air are preferable.
It is injurious to drink a large
quantity of ice water, cold beer, soda
water or other iced drinks. Cool
water, in which oatmeal has been
stirred, is a sate and refreshing drink.
The sleeping room should be freely
ventilated. Get as much fresh, pure
air as possible, but keep out of the
sun. Work slowly, frequently cooling
the head, chest, back and wrists with
cool water. Ii the skin becomes hot
and dry, and a stinging, burning
sensation is felt in the head and the
face is flushed and the eyes blood
shot, the person should immediately
quit work, seek quiet and a cool place.
If not speedily relieved from the op
pressive sensation of heat, take a cool
bath, submerging or wetting the head.
Heal exhaustion is caused by pro
longed exposure to a high tempera
ture, particularly when combined with
physical exertion. It is likely to be
followed in severe cases by delirium.
Unlike heat stroke, the skin is usually
cool, and pulse small and rapid and
the temperature below normal as low
as 95. It is not necessary that the
person shall have been exposed to
the direct rays of the sun, as the con
dition may be induced when working
in close, confined rooms, especially
when exposed to great artificial heat,
as in laundries, foundries, bakeshops
and engine rooms.
In a case of heat exhaustion, stim
ulants shonld be given freely, and if
the temperature is below normal, as
denoted by the clammy condition of
the skin, the hot bath should be used.
Ammonia and water may be given, if
necessary.
Heat sfroke is generally confined
to persons who exercise violently
when exposed to the sun. Those
habituated to the use of beer and
whisky, and the otherwise debilitated,
are especially predisposed to attacks.
In treating heat stroke, the patient
should be removed to a cool, shady
place, where there is plenty of fresh
air. Strip clothing to tne waisi anu

sition. Tour ice water upon the
head, chest and wrists, until con
sciousness returns. Apply ice to head,
and rub the body with it. When
practicable, the patient should be put
into a bath at seventy degrees to re

GEORGE BIULEMAN.
The death of George Bidleman,
which occurred at his home on Iron
street early Saturday evening came as
a shock to his many friends, for al
though it was known that he was suf
fering from a stroke of paralysis which
befell him a little over a week previous
it was not generally believed that he
was in any real danger of death. Mr.
Bidleman had resided in this town for
a long while. He had followed vari
ous pursuits in life. Years ago he
was a farmer, then he engaged at the
Bloomsburg Iron Co's furnace, but
latterly,and until poor health prevent
ed, he wa3 employed at the then
Lockard Car Shops, new the Ameri
can Car and Foundry Company.
The deceased was about sixty-five
years of age and leaves to survive him
a family of four, two sons and two
daughters, namely Mrs. John Wham
of Newton, Iowa, and Mrs. Clara
Woodring, Samuel and Joseph of this
town. Mrs, Bidleman died over a
year ago.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at his late home Tuesday morning
at ten o clock, Rev. J. D. Thomas,
pastor of Trinity Reformed church, ot
which the deceased was a member of
ficiating. The obsequies were at
tended by a large concourse of friends
who followed the procession to Rose
mont Cemetery. As the remains
were being lowered from mortal view,
a current of tender recollections swept
through the minds of those who were
present, as they thought of his numer
ous good qualities.
Amused Themselves.
The lady clerks in I. W. Hartman's
store as well as several pedestrians
who chanced to pass by at the time,
had considerable fun at the expense
ot a newly married Welliversville
couple Thursday afternoon last.
Alighting from a carriage in front of
the above named store, the two as
cended the stairs leading to the Cap
well studio for the purpose of having
their pictures taken. While they were
thus engaged the clerks were inform
ed by a person who appeared to be
intimately acquainted with the couple
that they had only a few moments be
fore plighted their troth at the M. E.
parsonage. Without any further cere
mony the young ladies who are ever
ready lor a spat of fun set to work to
decorate the carriage. A pair of old
shoes were tied on the rear end, white
ribbon were fastened on the harness,
and two placards bearing the inscrip
tion, "We were just married, Put us
off at Buffalo," and -'Married Just
Because She Made dem goo goo
eyes," written in large ana plain let
ters fixed inconspicuous places. When
ine coupie appcareu uu 111c st-cuc, wic
groom surveyed the Situation, tore OH
tha decorations, threw them on the
pavement, and with a look of displeas
ure assisted his fondest hope into the
carriage and drove off amid a shower
of rice from the clerks. It was a good
joke, but if there is any truth in the
saying that "actions speak louder than
words," the groom didn't appreciate
it.
