THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1930 ments of the day. It represents one of the few organized efforts that mankind is making to understand the nature of this mechanical age of ours. We have called innu- merable machines into being, and we have to live with them for better of for worse; but we have devoted re- markably little time to the job of finding out just how we can get along with them without getting hurt. In the old days there was little need for a safety movement. The factory hand worked in a small shop and generally used his own tools; if he were not more than ordinarily clumsy—in which case he would not have his job at all—he hardly had a chance of hurting himself. Today, though, it is different. The worker is sur- rounded by a multitude of whirligigs that can grind the life out of him if he is not careful. A moment’s inatten- him. The effort to keep from being hurt has to be or- ganized—and it is to the credit of American ‘industry that it has been organised. Indeed, the same sort of thing, to a lesser extent, is true outside of the factory as well as in. Mechanized traffic kills 30,000 men, women and children a year. We have to be watchful, even on our more casual errands. Carelessness has become fearfully-expensive. The safety movement is a sincere intelligent attempt to meet some of the worst of the problems that the ma- chine has raised. That is why it deserves country-wide support. et { (Incorporat easel eae ; Former! Logan Payne Co. . .

The Nation’s Best Wishes ‘Another encouraging announcement came last month from the department of agriculture, which stated that the counties of the United States improved 45,481 miles of local and county roads in 1929, at @ cost of more than ; | $80,000,000. i ‘When a majority of farms are served by good year- round farm-to-market highways, we will have taken a long step toward the solution of agricultural problems. ‘The manner in which the road problem 1s to be solved in North Dakota is not yet apparent but it is plain that - two separate questions are presented. ‘One is the development of main highways to facilitate traffic and, at the same time, reduce expenditures for maintenance which now are a heavy drain on the state highway commission’s finances. ‘The state of North Da- kota today is spending thousands of dollars in main- taining roads which, by all the standards of highway construction and engineering, would be cheaper as well as better if they were paved.

If the farmer is to be successful he must cut costs wherever possible, and in many instances @ major reduction can be made in the cost of bringing farm produce to market. With a thousand bushels of wheat to sell, the difference between a good road and a bad one may mean many dollars to the farmer. In addition, good roads, and the attendant freedom of com- munication which they permit, make farm life more at- | that he is well and can go about his business. tractive.

F. asks: “What is a good cure for one to take after being bitten by a rattlesnake?” Answer.—The bite of a rattlesnake is not necessarily dangerous or fatal. with white, rye, wholewheat or toasted bread used for the covering. The least injurious fillings are made of meat, sardines, chicken, ground nuts, lettuce, chopped celery, ground raw cabbage or other wholesome non-starchy vegetables. The least wholesome sandwiches are made of tomatoes, jelly, jam, onions, pickles, gravy or acid dressings. If sandwiches are used at all, the whole- wheat is the only bread that should be used, and when I say wholewheat I mean the pure wheat—not the imi- tations often found on the market. Wholewheat combines better with the proteins and the fatty foods than the white bread, but, at the same time, it should be remembered that whale- wheat contains a large amount of starch and should not be mixed with acid fruits or acid dressings or you will have unwholesome combinations.

The first important thing to do after one has been bitten is to apply a tourni- quet above the wound and make the wound bleed as much as possible by sucking the blood out, or by cutting it with a sharp knife in order to make the blood flow more freely. After this has been done, loosen the tourniquet slightly, and the patient should be put into a tub of hot water and allowed to remain in it for an hour or two. The water should be kept at about 110 degrees. This will produce elim- ination through the ‘pores and also keep the blood flowing more rapidly and thus counteract the effect of the depressing venom. If these precautions are taken there is very little danger of the patient dying. Milk and Eggs in Lung Trouble Question—G. H. writes: “About eighteen months ago I had my ton- sils removed, and later developed lung trouble. The doctor insists that I use lots of milk and raw eggs, and that I should increase the number of eggs each day. I am 20 years old. Do you recommend this milk and egg com- bination for my lung trouble?” Answer.—I most decidedly DO NOT recommend milk and raw eggs in your case, because they are both mucus- forming foods, An orange juice fast should be taken for about twelve days, combined with two warm shower or sponge baths and two warm water enemas while on the fast.
