Electric Shock Hazard signs of life were absent: In case where the contact was of short dura- tion and where artificial respiration has been applied without delay there is a better chance of recovery. Al- though, in reality resuscitation from electrical shock is a case for the medical man, or at a pinch for those men' of the power and telephone companies well-trained in the art of artificial respiration, there are cer- tain things that everybody can do., In shock accidents the victim ,is,' usually thrown clear of the live wire or apparatus, but if such is not the case the obvious thing to do is to clear him at once from contact, the greatest care being taken that the helper himself is insulated from con- tact. Not withstanding the fact that success in resuscitation decreases in hot .summer months, warmth is of great assistance. The patient should be wrapped in warm !blankets and hot water bottles applied. A person partially shocked should be made to. lie down, and it is a point to be re- membered that, owing to lack of tone of the blood vessels, it may be fatal to allows resuscitated patient to sit up or !stand. Artificial respiration of course, is of the greatest impor tance and should be taught in all dis tricts•. ' Efforts in artificial respira- tion should be kept up for at least four hours until the patient breathes or until the 'signs of the onrush of. rigor mortis are definite. In this age of electricity, the latest hazard added to life on the farm is electrical shock. The passage of el- ectrical current of considerable vol- tage through a man causes paralysis of the higher nerve centres, entailing the stoppage of breathing. The fail- ure of the normal tests for life should not be taken as evidence of death. Persons have been resuscitated after hours of effort although ordinary NATIONAL RAILWAYS CHAIR- MAN IMPRESSED WITH WESTERN CROP "On our western trip we were, os course, greatly interested in the coming crop and were all impressed with its volume. Especially was this apparent in districts that for the last few years had not taken off a crop because of dro'egbt conditions. The early nioisture conditions this year went a long way in putting these districts back on their feet and there is a general feeling of renewed' optimism and hope," declared Hon. C. P. Fullerton, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Canadian National. F'ASCINATiNG FLAVOR ice. z��r 1 S se piSCfl yp ps Am':s{ iii In a way of speaking, the buying public awns every retail store in our town. It pays the reilts• and the 'salaries and all the ether costs of all stores in our ;city. It informs the owners of these stares what to buy and at what price to sell. And it demands from all, retailers a communication service -meaning news of what re- tailers have in stock, and what their prices are. And of course it does most of its business with those retailers who report to it regu- larly and fully -by the agency off advertisements in oar newspalper. And if any retailer says -in effect -"I'll not give you -the real own- ers of my business -any nifprmation about my business'," then the buying public says -in effect--i'Right you are. As for' us, we shale go in largess; numbers' to those retailers who communicate to us regularly and adequately via the mediate of our local newspaper."' This way of putting it is not just fanciful. It is stern fact. Retailers who decline to maintain communication with the public hyr means of the newepaper which it reads' lose business to those who, are faithfully communicative. ,.Sone retail business is languishing today: unnecessarily. Its attitude to the public is wrong. It says in effect --to the public, 'Ton come and find us," and the public's attitude is: "You tell us about your business and your merchandise•. You ase our employee. Report to us regularly and adequately on haw you are serving us. If you convince us tibat you are our faithful and efficlient servant, w•eii keep on employing you, and will' pay you well."
