Anyone who has once seen a fire or helped to fight one is as 'careful with fire as though it were dynamite, Fire Fighting. You may have an opportunity to help fight a forest fire. If a spade ror shovel is handy, beat out. the 'fire or smother out with fresh earth along the burning edge. Until the fire is un- der control disregard the burning ma- terial within the fire limits. Rake away all leaves to establish clear paths about the area and thus restrict the fire. An expert will know how to start a back fire from a path. Ask your father what this ,beans. A bur- lap bag soaked din water, branches used as rakes, or a hastily made brush broom of .:hardwood branches and leaves will serve in an emergency. Re- member that a fire often spreads in all directions. - Walk around the entire area to see if there are any new out- croppings. And Now It's Time for Eats!

"I cannot understand," said the nock- ney patronizingly, "how the midges bother you so much. 1haven''t. got so much as a single bite yet."

Addresi him at Bptadiun ;blouse, 8p810106 creeeint, tomato. People living in country districts, perhaps far removed from a doctor, are often confronted with cases of accident or sudden illness. At times like this it is very hard to know just what to do on the spur of the moment. Most people get nervous and excited, thereby adding to; the general confu- sion without giving much practical help. If there is any use in saying o, I,would-strongly advise the person •t� he is on the spot' as a helper to keep cool. Try and control " yourself and deal with : the circumstance in a cornmon-sense- way. For instance, if a person gets hurt and is : bleeding, the bleeding must be checked. The best way to do this is to get a hard pad' and press it Veinly' against the bleeding spot, or else tie the pad on with your handkerchief. A lot of alarm and anxiety -is often -caused in cases of convulsions. When a fit comes on, the sufferer": will be ly- ing down, the best position for him, but your common-sense will suggest something soft under his head, and you should use -a little gentle restraint if necessary, just sufficient to pre- vent hini from injuring himself in his struggles. If the teeth are clench- ed and the tongue bitten, try •incl in- sert a• small stick with a piece of'rag wrapped around it, between the jaws. Cut and abrasions are perhaps the most conunon injury met with, and 'to keep the wound clean is the important thing. When the skin- is broken it is particularly liable to be infected .with septic germs :•which may cause blood- poisoning. If you can only keep the wound clean, nature will do the heal- ing,. but nature cannot heal while her work is being interfered with by germs that cause inflammation; and pus,: or what is known as an infection. Of course, one can control infection by the use of antiseptic `solutions, ;but these may not be at hand,' so the very best thing to do is to keep the cut" or abrasion "clean and free from infec- tion if, possible. You will ask what to .do then,; Fiest,':'bathe the wound carefully and thoroughly with warm water -to :'which, you may add same antiseptic solution such as boric 'acid: Better' still, wash the wound . with warm, water: and soap. Do not touch the wound with a sponge or flannel, but something reasonably clean,. such as a'.pieee •;of new lint`tor clean cotton wool. If none of these are to be. had, a piece, of clean linen such as a hand- kerchief' will do very well."Then dry the wound and' paint on some tincture of iodine if it is available. The iodine may smart, but only for a few -mo- ments, and you should now protect the wound by a pad of boric lint or clean linen. A bandage applied snug- ly, but not too tight, will stop any further bleeding and at the sane time keep the dressing" in place. If the wound does not throb, or feel uncom- fortable, the dressing need not be changed for forty-eight hours or so. Severe haemorrhage is a condition that requires `'immediate treatme%it, but whatyou can do ,is only of a temporary nature. Still, you can often save life by checking or control- ling the bleeding until the doctor arrives. Keep the patient lying down quietly and notice whether the 'blood comes out in spurts or in a steady flow. Apply a pressure pad or even hold the bleeding point tightly with your finger until you get assistance. When the pressure pad is applied, bandage firmly at once. Elevate the injured limb as high as possible. Should the blood still continue to come in spurts, it is evident that an. artery has been cut or torn and you will then have to try and compress the main artery by pressure against "lint, mother, Jack says he lovas f16 With leis whoh^.heart." "Yes—but you want soni•eono wllo ,Aon love you witit his whole bank-: kali ion,,`^ Doesn't hurt ono bit! ""Deep a little "Freezone" on -an €ceiling corn, in' stoutly that corn stops hurting, then shortly you lift•it right off with fingers!

This is ear-. f ily done by tying a handkerchief around the limb (always 'above the wound)', over a piece of stick or simi- lar 'article. imi-lar'article.' Then twist the stick till the hankkerchief is as tight as can be borne and hold ter tie the stick in ;position. In bleeding from the nose, place the ed !patient on his back' with the head and shoulders raised onillows' or any - ng handy. Raise"the thingp arms above . the head as high as possible, and pinch. 'the, nostrils tightly with the finger and }thumb.' ;This will often stop the How. Should it not, wrap some broken ice in a'handkerchief and apply to the nose and to the nape of the neck. A thick slice of 'lemon bitten and sucked, sometimes acts like a charm. Of course the doctor should be sent for without delay if the bleeding is per- sistent. Should you find a person lying un- conscious, do not try to 'make him sit up. Just let him lie, and if he can swallow, give a few sips of brandy. In cases of sudden illness where a doctor cannot be got at once, a little common sense will often work won- ders. In the first place get the pa- tient to bed at once if the attack is. severe and 'don't forget to loosen any clothing that may be tight. Fainting willsusually yieldquickly to lying down and sipping a stimulant. Cold water is an excellent stimulant, if just sipped, but do not give fluid un- less your patient can swallow, other- wise it may find its way into the lungs. If he is cold or shivering, apply hot water bottles to the body and the feet, but be .sure to wrap the bottles in something woollen to avoid blistering. Vomiting may be relieved by suck- ing ice, also by applying a mustard plaster to the upper part of the ab- domen. • When there are broken bones to deal with, efforts must be made to prevent any movement of the two jag- ged ends at the point of fracture. Movement causes pain, ._so• bind the: limb. above` and below the fracture to a splint which can be -made out of a piece of stick, or even an `'umbrella. These bits of advice are intended to beuseful in emergency,but do •not neglect to secure the'services'of a'phy- sician at the -earliest possible moment,. as the fractured bones may need to be set in position before a permanent splint is - applied. . eIIlLD1[ it 0� INDIGESTION Nothing is more common in child- hood than indigestion. Nothing; ,is more dangerous to 'proper growth, more weakening to the constitution or more likely to pave the way to dan- gerous disease. Fully nine -tenths of all the minor ills of childhood have their root in indigestion. There is no medicine for little ones to equal Baby's Own Tablets in relieving this trouble. They have proved •of benefit in thousands of homes.

Twenty-five years ago, Green Tea was more popular than Black, but due to the heavy lniportation of poor quality Japan and China Green Teas, the demand fell off. Ceylon and India started producing Green Tea on a large scale only in recent years. They were of such fine, finality and delicious flavor that Green Tea` drinkers im- mediately recognized their superiority and demanded {:hien in ever increasing quantities.

"Nor did the soldiers always insist on something lively.
