Fisher " UNCONSCIOUSNESS OB, INSENSI- BILITY. These terms are simply two dif- ferent names for the same thing, and possibly there is no other condition which is so apt to puzzle one, as just ..this state in which one may be found lying because thege “are so many < causes for it. As for instance, severe injuries to the skull causing concus- sion of the brain. Also certain dis- ehses of the brain as apoplexy, hy- steria, and among the more common causes—fainting, shock, poisoning, sunstroke, heat exhaustion, bleeding, electric shock, and freezing or suf- focation. Be careful to ascertain ‘from bystanders what the cause wds. If ho one is able to explain, or ‘none but yourself and the patient is there, then quickly study person and sur- roundings and examine for any of the causes as mentioned above. If there is evidence that the case is se- rious, send for medical help, and in the meantime see that the patient is placed in a position where breathing is more easy. If the face is pale, Reep' the head low, but if flushed, ise head slightly, loosen clothing-at neck, chest and waist. . If the pati- “ent is- cold, cover with blanket or “ather wraps, and proyide fresh air. But be careful to note the follow- ing symptoms: If the breathing is rapid, or comes as in sighs; if beads of heat stand out on_face; if skin is cold and clammy; if the pulse is rap- id’ or imperceptible,-then they are in -a state of shock or collapse‘and no time must be lost in an endeavor to \xevive. Sponge face with weak vine- gar or aromatic spirits of ammonia, or sprinkle with cold water; hold smelling salts: to, nostrils momentar- ily; gently: shake and speak to -arouse, and when consciousness re- turns-give stimulant, preferably aro- ‘matic spirits ammonia (1 tegspoon- ful in 1 glass of water.) If there is profuse bleeding, flex limb or apply tourniquet. But if evidence of inter- nal bleeding,. keep patient on side in .recumbent position so that in event ..of blood oozing from mouth or in case of vomiting, they will not choke. Blood. -which is coughed up frothy and bright red, is from the lungs; ‘blood vomited and dark red is from tlie stomach. When they revive give ‘chopped ice to suck and apply cold cloths to lungs and stomach, as case may be. Injurles to head with continued'in- gensibility, simply call for general ‘eare of condition and patient atten- ‘tion till medical help arrives. If the condition is due to sun- stroke, remove quickly to shady place; remove clothing to waist line; place in semi-sitting 'position; ‘dash cold water on face and .chest, and Keep ice bag to head. give cold gater freely to drink. If electric shock, remove cause, if still near cause, and if lung actioh las ceased, perform artificial respir- ation. When breathing is restored -and consciousness returns, treat Mburns if any, and give stimulant as in shock. If heat exhaustion, body will be oold. and clammy as in shock, with similar conditions as to breathing and pulse. Remove to quiet ‘place, loosen clothing, if the temperature is below normal; keep body warm with covers, and when conscious adminis- ter stimulant as above, or hot tea or coffee. But if cause of condition was suf- focation, following smoke, gas or wa- ter, artificial respiration will be the first duty to perform, which will oc- eupy a separate article to follow. Fainting is really an emotional af- fection, something causing the blood to leave the head to succor the heart, and the consequent pale face and col- lapse causing one to fall. Fainting ~may be easily avoided if one will bend over, -if sitting ,or if standing, When revived |- 5,100. Although gold production dropped to ‘80 "per cent of mnormal during the war period, the increase. is explained by the fact that many countries, especially those of Central Europe melted up vast®quantities of gold plate in order to"carry on the struggle, e BROODY HEN MUST BE MADE TO LAY Broody hens are useless the re- mainder of-the season and should be made to produce, as eggs are Now close to the half dollar mark. “A hen that .is moulting,” zays A.. C. Smith, ghief of the division of poultry. husbandry at University farm, “is of questionable value as a_layer and ordinarily should be culled out of the flock and marketed, but the broody hen should be made to lay. “Breaking the spell of broediness is not a difficult process, although many xm:}e hard work -of it. All unnatural processes are unnecessary as are processes which make 'the hen uncomfortable, to say nothing of the methods that torture the biddy which are not a bit short of eriminal. “All that is necessary to do is to provide * comfbrtable quarters in which there is no place to set, nests and all floor litter having .been re- -moved: feed a variety, including a plentiful supply of green food and supply clean, cool water. If the hen is ,placed in these quarte! imme- diately upon showing the wurst signs of broodiness, she may be returned to the original.flock in a week or even- less. ‘She should :ay again in two weeks or less. “A good laying flock should, be vielding about 40 to 50 per cent at this season. If the yield of the flock folls below that percentage, it may be largely because too many fowls are allowed to remain broody .too long a time. - . “Farmers should not discontinue the feedingof laying mash’In summer if they want to benefit from the pre- sent high prices of eggs. Such.,a practice means a loss in production and cash.” 3 Early Rising. A Ohicago advertising man drove through to the advertising convention in Indianapolls. A few miles outside Indianapolis he had bad luck. His ear skidded into the ditch and he had to walt till daylight to get someone to pull him out. - At 8:90 a.-m. he went to a:near-by farmhouse, knocked at the door and the farmer's wife answered the call. The advertlsing- man. asked ;- “Could I get your husband to pull “my car out of the ditch?’ “Well, that's too bad,” she replied. “You should have got here ‘before breakfast. He took the horses over half an hour ago and is-down the road two miles there and plowin’ by now.” {HE PIONEER WANT ADS BRING RESULTS , GRINAGERS Sunshine Grocery Carry-a-Bit Save-a-Bit ——Every Day —— ) THE BEMIDJI 'Northwe;,fgg';n Néw: MINNEAPOLIS AND FARM BUREAU DAY AT FAIR St. Paul, Sept.
