Our Worst Enemy. This is the time of the year whoa forest fires destroy game and timber. Be careful with matches, build your campfire in places where there is no Bi accidehnt or sudden illness, At times help. Tf there is any use in saying so, I would strongly advise the perso Rho is on the spot as a helper to keep cool. Try and control yourself and deal with the circumstance in a common-sense way. For instance, if a person gets hurt and is bleeding the bleeding must be checked, The the bone with your fingers or better still, apply a tourniquet. This is eas- ily done by eying a handkerchief around the limb (always above the wound), over a piece of stick or simi- lar article, Then twist the stick till the hankkerchief is as tight as can be borne and hold or tie the stick in position. I In bleeding from the nose, place the tz patient on his back with the head and shoulders raised on pillows or any- thing handy. Raise the arms above 'the head as high as possible, and pinch 'Ithe nostrils tightly with the finger ,1 and thumb. This will often stop the flow. Should it not, wrap some broken ice in a handkerchief and apply to the nose and to the nape of the heck.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. ersistent Should you find a person lying un- conscious, do not try to matte him sit t up. Just let him lie, and if he 'can swallow, give a few sips of brandy. In eases 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 Ioosen any clothing that may be tight. Fainting will usually yield quickly to lying down and sipping a stimulant.. Cold water is an excellent stimulant, if lust sipped, but do not give fluid un- less your patient can swallow, other- wise it may find its way into the lungs. If ho 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 hones to deal with,..e>1'orts *must be made to prevent any movement of the two jag- ged ends at the point of fracture. Movement causes pain, so bind the linib 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 be useful 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 positiou before a permanent splint is applied. danger of spreading.

When the skin is broken it is particularly liable to he 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. First, bathe the wound carefully and thoroughly with warm water to which you may add some antiseptic solution such as boric acid. Better still, wash the wound with warns water and soap. Do not touch the wound with a sponge or flannel, but, something reasonably clean, such as a piece of new lint or clean cotton wool. If none of these are to be had, a piece of clean linen such es 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 same 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. Sovere haemorrhage is. a condition that requires immediate treatment, but what you can do is onlyof a temporary nature.

Twenty-five years ago, Green Tea was more popular than Black, but due to tate heavy importation of poor quality Japan and China Green Teas,. the demand fell off. Ceylon and India started producing Green Tea on n large scale only in recent years.

"How much even a little musical ac- complishment means to young men was effectively demonstrated during the war," says a writer in Canadian Home Journal, "The boys in a regi- ment who were definitely sure of popu- larity were those wlio could play some instrument or other, or sing a song. It was found that a great ninny bad the gift of playing the piano by ear; but the lad who could really play un- familiar compositions and could vary .the usual fare by something 'high- class' once in a while, was honored. "Nor did the soldiers always insist on something lively. I have heard of one young Canadian officer, awarded the V.C. posthumously for suberb bravery [luring the great advance of the summer of 1915, who had a most remarkable gift for playing on that haunting instrument, the ukulele. He had (it was afterwards known), a real conviction that 1m was never to see Canada again, and the soft, melan- choly strains he used to evoke from Ills instrument were an expression of his premonition. He undoubtedly gave solace to himself and much plea- sure to his comrades by his music, sad though it was.
