After pointing out that the Gov- ernment, through Congress, has been 1in its aid to the disabled, Direc- r Hines adds: “It is a well known that many detailed types of as- sistance fall into the hands of local legion posts fuffillment, and it has been further disclosed that funds for the carrying on of the specif emergencies have been noticeably deficient “It is therefore an opportunity that this call comes from the legion with 80 well defined purposes that the pub- lic and other interested organiza- tions may comprehend at once the necessity of the call. It is true that millions of dollars have been appro- priated for rehabilitation and hospital- ization, and these expeditures will continue in decreasing number as the work nears completion, but the con- tinuing liability remains in the in- stance of the mentally disabled and of the minor dependents of all veterans of the World War.

In selecting a, place to spend the vacation careful inquiry should fftst be made to ascertain if the water afd food supply and general surroundirgs are safe and ‘satisfactory. Places where marshes, pohds of water, ac- cumulation of 'refuse material or other mosquito breeding places are, should be avoided. Be sure of the safety of the water pply, and. unless you are certain of its, purity, it is best to boil all water used for drinking purposes. The purity dnd wholesomeness of the milk supply’ are also important matters. . Select Clean Hotel. If vour vacation is. to beé spent in a country hotel, farmhouse, or simi- lar place, select one that is clean, well ventilated, and where proper and adequate drainage facilities are pro- vided. The place should be well screened against flies and insects and the food should be of good quality and properly protected against contami- nation. our plans contemplate “camping a tent of adequate proportion should be obtained. The site upon which the tent is to be erected should be high with sloping side and the soil a porous nature to facilitate drain age. Trees are also very desirable about the camp site. The best tent is one with a wooden floor raised a few inches above the ground. A ditch should be dug around the tent to drain off the surface water, thereby prevent- ing its accumulation under the floor and resulting dampness. Food should be protected from fiies and insects. A suitable number of covered metal receptacles should be provided for the reception of all garbage. The gar- bage can be disposed of daily by burn- ing and the excreta buried in shallow trenches some distance away from the camp site. Carry First-aid Kit. Outof-door life is not infrequently accompanied by sickness and injuries of varfous kinds, and medical aid may be difficult to obtain. It is therefore very desirable that every camp in- clude in iis equipment an “emergency kit” to enable the campers to apply first-aid treatment until medical aid can be secured. ch a “kit” might contain, to advantage, a few small gauze bandages, small roll of ad hesive plaster, few safety pins, small package each of absorbent cotton and sterile gauz small bottle each of tinc- ture of lodine and aromatic spirits of ammonia, one bottle of castor oll, package each of epsom salts, seidlitz powders and boric acid, few mustard plasters, hot-water bottle, box talcum powder, pair of scissors and a clinical thermometer. In slight cuts or abrasions first paint the wound with a light coat of tincture of iodine and apply sterile gauze, keeping in place by bandage or Strip of adhesive plaster. In more serlous cuts or injuries secure medical aid at once. In the treatment of se vere bruises relief may be obtained by the application of cold water com- presses of a size large enough to com- pletely cover the injured part. This compress can be held in position by the use of a bandage Sunburn may at times he very se- vere, and in persons with delicate skin produces much discomfort and pain. Such persons should protect themselves When exposed to the direct rays of the sun. An application of cold cream on, starting out in the morning and repeated during the day will do muck:te prevent severe burn- ing. Another relief for sunburn is to dissolve one. tablespoonful of boric acid in a half pint of hot water. This solution can be applied freely to the inflamed area by spraying with an atomizer or ‘dabbed on with a small plece of cotton. Ammonia for Stings. Bites and stings of insects may also be the cause of much discomfort and pain. For the relief of these am- monia water may be applied to the part’ where: the sting entered. After which cool wet dressings, such as so- lution of borfc acid, may be applied. Campers are not infrequently af- -ontact wtih poison oak or Be careful to avoid ex- ure to these plants, as contact with them may cause severe inflam- ation of the skin, attended by much pain, itching and discomfort. The advice of a physiclan should be sought at once. In the meantime, re- lief may be obtained by thoroughly washing the affected area with soap and water. Applications of solution of boric acid or bicarbonate of soda are also heipful in relleving the irrita- tion. It s safer never to eat anything found growing unless you are very certain it is not of a poisonous nature. It mushrooms are eaten great care should be taken to distinguish be tween the harmless and the poisonous varieties. If by accident or mistake you should eat a poisonous variety of the plant, send for medical ald at once. In the meantime, lay the pa tient down with the head low, cover the body warmly and apply heat by means of hot water bottles placed around the patient, cause the patient to vomit if possible, and also' admin- ister stimulating remedies such as aromatio epirits of ammonia. or cof- ee. Stay From Deep Water. Persons who cannot swim should be careful not to go into deep water. No person should tax his strength, stay_too long & time in the water or Suffered With Large Red Pimples Cuticura Healed” I suffered with pimples for over five years. At times my face would be covered with them. Some of them were hard, large and red, and would stay for several days, then dry up and scale over, and others were small and in blotches. They caused me to lose much sleep at night by their itching and burning, and my face was disfigured. “I sent for a free sample of Cuti-| cura Sosp and Ointment and it helped me. I purchased more, and after using one cake of Cuticura Soap and about half a box of Cuti- cura Ointment I was completely healed.” (Signed) Paul J. Tatum, Hallsville, Texas.

In the case of drowning, as soon as the person has been removed from the water he should be placed on the ground, face down. Rise the hips slightly to free the lungs from water. The patient should then be turned on his back and the clothing loosened about the neck and waist, after which artificial respiration should be resorted to. What is known as the “Sylvester. method” is quite satisfactory and is applied as follows: Kneel just above the patient's head, grasp both the arms just below the elbows. The arms are then pulled gently and steadily as far as they will go above the head and held M this position until the air ceases to enter the chest. The arms are then brought down to the chest and are pressed against it for a second or so after air ceases to escape. Continue these mo- tions about 15 times per minute, until the patlent begins to breathe himself. As soon as resplration has been satis- factorily restored the patient should be wrapped in warm coverings and appropriate remedies administered. Experience has shown that many cases of typhoid fever are contracted during the Summer vacation. It is, therefore, a wise precaution to guard against infection with the disease by anti-typhold vaccination. This pre- ventive measure has proven of great value. Three doses are injected under the gkin of the arm at Intervals of one week. This vaccination affords protection which may last four or more years == o SR Will of Mrs. H. A. Daish Filed.

But not as fast as they are being ordered by people who like fine things. Those who saw de Causse’s great custom-built pattern cars all said they would prove a sensation. But few anticipated the actual response they have aroused. It shows that appreciation of style is instinctive. That everyone wants quality.

ROME, May 25.—The work of American moving picture comedians is creating a new comlic tradition comparable in excellence only with that launched by the famous Venetian art theater of the eighteenth century, according to Itallan cinematograph critfes. q An underlying similarity, the critics say, is that each moving picture comedian maintains his particular personality and stage business in all of his pictures, instead of adapting himself to the stories which are being filmed. Thus Charlle Chapin is always Charlie Chaplin, whether he be_tramp or millionaire Just as the centuries have multi- plied the Colombines, Pierrots and Harlequins of the Venetian theater, so they will multiply the Chaplins, the Harold Lloyds and the Larry Semons, who eventually will evolve into constant types. It is pointed out that the American comic films, far from belng contempt- ible from the point of view of art, have much in common with the great works of the humorous masters from Aristophanes until our day, particu larly in their use of the grotesque and of formalized plots. The one out standing difference, it is said, is that the American movies insist upon pointing a moral and upon having happy endings One critic rhapsodizes that, the American films have created types which symbolize marvelously certain 90 Four-Pc.
