CARE OF INFECTIOUS AND SMALL
INJURIES
Certain diseases are called inf:ace
tious (transmiesible), because one
person may and does take the dis-
ease from another, . The following
diseases are transmissible: measles,
mumps, scarlet fever, .diphtheria,
whooping cough, chicken pox, small-
pox, typhoid fever. The patient and
theperson-nursing the patient should
be isolated. Everything coming from
the patient's room, such as (Bohol.
or vessels, and the contents, should
be boiled or scalded The pecten
nursing the patient should wash her
hands whenever she touches anything
patient has touched. No one having
one of these diseases, or living with
anyone who has one of these dis-
eases, should be allowed to go to
school, or play with others, or mingle
with them at all, till the danger of
infection is over, "Colds" are also
infectious and we should take pre
cautions to prevent transmitting
colds to others.
Smallpox is a most infectious. and
frequently fatal disease, Vaccina-
tion prevents it, Everyone should
be vaccinated in infancy; again at a-
bout 12 years of age and with when
ever smallpox is prevalent,
CUTS, WOUNDS, HEMORRHAGE,
BLEEDING.
If the blood comes in spurts
quickly tie a hankerchief, or piece
of bandage around bleeding
• arm, leg or finger above the wound
that is, nearer the heart. Slip a
stick around and round till the
handkerchief is tight enough to stop
the bleeding. If the blood Vows
steadily, then tie the handkerchief on
the side farther from the heart. If
the bleeding does not stop tie on an-
other handkerchief, so that there is
one, on each side of the wound. If
you cannot get a doctor to dress the
wound after the bleeding is stopped,
prepare a piece of linen for a pad
to cover the wound by scorching it
in a flame or boiling it. Wath your
hands thoroughly, roll the linen up
tightly and place this pad over the
wound, then tie it firmily with- a
• clean, fresh -laundered handkerchief•
or a clean bandage.
Be sure that the circulation of
blood in the finger or limb iv not
stopped by the pressure. ( When cir
culation is stopped the limb le Bold,
numb, livid or pallor). The ars: pres-
sure to stop the hemorrhage should
not be kept up more than half at
hour to an hour. The relaxed pres-
sure when the pad is put on will
need to be kept up 24 hour,-, and
the dressing, if the wound is com-
fortable, should not be touched for
eight days, except by a doctor. If
there was much blood lost or if the
wound becomes painful, emu! for
the doctor,
If the -wound is not in a limb, and
you cannot use the above phut to
stop bleeding, then press your:
thumbs on one side of the wound,
thus pressing the edges of the wound
together, first wnshfng your hands
thoroughly, if possible. Always use
boiled water in washing and tireseieg
wounds.
Burns should be kept from air by
immersing burned place in water
(in which boric acid or other mild
nntiseptic may be dissolved), apply
ing wet dressing, or applying oil.
Blisters may be drained by punc-
turing with a clean needle (boiled
or passed through flame). Bo care-
ful not to remove the loose skin.
Dress burns with boric absorbent
cotton to which antiseptic ail or vase -
line has been applied,
BURNS FROM ACIDS
Watch very quickly with oil, soda
and water, soap -suds or water atone.
Use a lot of water, Put the burned
part into a big vessel of water.

countries were present and many of
I them told of the progress that is be-
jing made in France and the United
States in the treatment of bitumin-
, ons coals and ,lignites to produce
better fuels and to rin valuable
products,. The total registration erns
over fifteen hundred, consisting of
foremost chemists, cngineere and ex-
ecutives in the coal and allied hides -
tries, together with representatives of
most of the universities andtechnieal
societies in North America. The
Canadian delegation numbered about
twenty-five,
The chief subjects discussed were,
(1) the origin, comeosition and cle e
ification of coal; (2) coal cleaning
and washing; (3) efiicieney in coat
consumption; (4) the use of pulvue-
ized coal; (5) the liquefaction of
coal, for the production of oil; (6)
low temperature carbonization; l7)
the refining and uses of tars and
oils from coal; (8) new processes of
gas manufacture; (9) long distance
transmission of gas; (10) future all
production in the United States, and
many other allied topics. Although
there were no outstanding new de-
velopments announced, it was evi-
dent that marked progreds has been
made in all these fields in the Met
few years. The increasingly import-
ant part that chemistry plays was per
titularly demonstrated,
The utilization of coal tar for the
pruduction of dyes, pharmaceutical
products and explosives, although a
comparatively modern development,
is well recognized as part of the de -
main of chemistry. The extensive
research work carried aut during the,
last ten years in Germany, Great
Britain and the United States end
other countries, demonstrates, how-
ever, that greatly increased values
can be obtained for coal and its pro-
ducts if the principles of chemiatry
are lapelled to all the processes that
coal undergoes from the time of
mining to its ultimate combustion in
the furnace or stove.
Cleaned and washed coal com-
mands a higher value, the bylpro-
ducts from carbonization such as
ammonia, benzene, toluene, naptha,
phenol, creosote, anthracene and
pitch are of increastnn ,mportance.

One of the most successful co-
operative Marketing Organizations
in the West is governed by four
women and two men, and the
President is Mrs. John Holmes,
(above), of Saskatchewan. The
profitable Pool, The Saskatchewan
Egg and Poultry Producers' Limi-
ted, with a total membership of
over 19,000, was organized by a
number of farmers' wives less
than 3 years ago and is now doing
a gross annual business of approx-
imately $600,000. Last year the
Pool marketed 18,000,000 eggs
and over half a million pounds of
dressed poultry, most of which
went to Eastern Canada and the
United States.
COMPENSATION AND
ACCIDENTS
During January there were 6,18i
accidents reported to the Workmen's
Compensation Board, including 07
fatalities. In the same month, the
total benefits awarded amounted tr
$673,776.22, of which $106,899.62
was for medical aid. In January o;
1928 there were 5,056 accidents re-
ported and, of these, 5S were fidel-
ities, and $568,612.70 was awarded
I in total benefits, of which $91,445-
.40 was for medical aid. The aver-
age for 0abh of the twelve months in
1928 and the decrease in death•cagee

vested at dates a week apart showed

C A. ROBERTSON CHALLENGES
FERGUSON ON HYDRO RATES
(Continued from Page 1)
When hydro was first installed it
cost $37, had risen to $55, and now
cost $42. When 14 years ago 200
horsepower had been used, the: rate
was $37. Now when 1,000 horse-
power is utilized, the rate is $42. Be
said the situation was difficult to
understand. He believed that the
time was ripe for a thorough inve,ti-
gation of the distribution of costs
throughout the hydro service. The
stivation bad become such that the
people in Goderich were asking foe
power developed on the local stream,
which they felt would be cheaper
than transporting it , from Niagara
Falls. He had been told that power
could not be transported 185 miles
economically. Hon. G. S. Henry said
he believed the Latest surveys Lad
shown that it could be.
Rural Districts Treated Unfairly..
'!Mr. Robertson, continuing, acid he
believed the rural people were "not
getting a square cleat in hydro."
]n:tancing his riding (North Huron)
he said the rural population was
12,000 on 400,000 acres, there being
4,000 farms. Less than 50 were re-
ceiving hydro. They wanted it, bet
at the present price it was a Inxa'y
the majority could not afford. He
could not see how there could be co-
operation in hydro until this situa-
tion had been overcome. He pressed
for a full investigation into the cost
of distribution. •
"The figures I have quoted are
difficult to understand," challenged
Mr. Robertson. "I'm afraid I'm like
the Prime Minister and am not an
engineer. Consequently the .figures
are a bit beyond me. I do feel how-
ever, that the time is ripe for an in-
vectigation into the costs of hydro
distribution," And not so lone aro,
said Mr. Robertson, he had taken .a
case to Hon, J. R. Cooke, hydro core
missioner, and Mr. Cooke had ad-
mitted that the matter was one of
"real grievance." At the lattet''a
strggr st'on. ht. ;lir. Robertson, had
taken the case up with the hydra)
engineers. and had been advised that
"politicians Ahonld keep out of or—
deo." When he had quoted Me
Cooke's opinion, he had bean met
e-ith the reply that the' Sdinister has
not anything more to say about id
than you have. Rather arrogant talk;
observed Mr. Robertson, for people
who fixed their own salaries.
Goderich's situation had reacisod
the point, said the speaker, where
council had passed a resolutioa nes-
ing the hydro to develop power oat
the Maitland river, rather than bring
it all the way from Niagara Faits
under existing rates,
Mr. Robertson claimed that the
country was getting away from the
first conception of "good roads,''s
Back in pre -motor car days, good
roads were taken to mean the build-
ing of market roads to leading towns
Nowadays. they meant nothing more
than trunklines, connecting one towel
with another•, and meaning little tw
the back concessions and the remoter
districts. The present Government,
he said, was laying too much stern
on provincial highways, partteularlgs
in the face of what the farmers had
to contribute toward them.
