Not that I mean to leave out the
cherries and hatchets cnthely. Hut
we need the practical patriotism of
our children. And all the cherries In
the world won't send a llttlo girl home
from the party determined to fill out
her thrift card by the end of next
month. They won't make a little boy
forgo a little surplus sugar on his
oatmeal.
Read to the children at the party.
do to the public library and ask
for the brightest and most human
ketches of George Washington's life.
Then at a certain time in the after

and let George Washington become to
them something more than a little
boy who either did or did not chop
down a cherry tree.

The teeth, In mest cases, grind to
gether, and as the milseles of the Jaw
contract, are likely to bite tho tongue
seerely Where prompt attention Is
not given, tho tonguo Is even bitten
quite off. Any Injury to the tongue or
cheeks causes the froth, which Hows
from the mouth, to become red, from the
blood which mixes with It. On this
ace'ount the caso takes on n most fright
ful and apparently serious aspect to the
e.nlooker who Is not familiar with caes
of this kind Tho bladder and bowels
mav be emptied Involuntarily.
The breathing, which has been labored
and noisy, now begin to be easier, al
though It Is still noler than In normal
breathing. Tho face becomes less livid
Tile unconsciousness that accompanies
th's condition Is most profound In
time It Is possible to arouse tho victim
but at first It Is better to permit him
tn sleep for 'overal hours when he will
awaken of his own accord, and without
a feeling that anything unusual or dls-e-nnifortlng
has occurred He may ob
forvo a slight headache or t'onfuslon of
Ideas, but that Is about all.
The flrst-ald step In taking rare of
these cases Is to look to yourself, and
force yourself to keen coed. Protect
the victim from Injuring himself by hold.
Ing hlin fast to the ground or on the
floor. Place a bit of wood or cork or
some other substance between his teeth
to prevent biting and Injury to the
tongue nnd cheeks. It probably will be
necenary to hae some one nssist you
In getting him under control. Do not
attempt to hold the arms or legs quiet,
except hh this may be necessary to pro
tect the victim from himself The con
vulsions will abate of themehcs, when
bn can bo lifted to a bed and allowed
to rest until lie awakens of bis own ac
cord In case you hae not witnessed the
case from the start and are not
su of all the symptoms, hae soma one
relste these to you, so that you may be
certain that It Is epilepsy that the vic
tim Is suffering from Tho blood-stained
froth from the mouth, nnd the bitten
tongue will however, be of great as
sistance In determining the caute of unconsciousness.

truth that in the great rural State of
New York protection was only for the
rich, a luxury for those who could af

truth wa brought hrame to me that the
