“Talk is cheap” said one, but
we should not talk too much for
fear we will injury our influence,
William J. Bryan was a great
orator and it seemed that he talked
too much. Perhaps he was on the
wrong side, or lived ahead of time.
If we had the free and unlimited
coinage of silver would it help in
this depression, if so Mr. Bryan
lived altead of his time. Most
everyone thought the gold standard
was the thing for theUnited States
but now any kind of money is
what the people are wanting. It,
the same way with writing to a
newspaper. The readers get tired
of the correspondent and says “he
is. all gab and nothing to his writ¬
ings.” Well, the person that is
before tile public either as corres¬
pondent or editor has a load upon
toeir shoulders.

Vacations
and
Health
By Dr. ERNEST H. LINES
Eminent Authority and Chit: A 'cJi-cui Director
New York Life Insurance Company
CAMP LIFE
RAMPING Wt the most, in healthful the woods or to on spend tho shore of some holiday. lake can This be is one partic¬ of
ularly of ways a summer
true city office workers who should aim to gel plenty of fresh
air and sunshine, and a moderate amount of exercise, the two weeks
vacation usually allotted to them.
When selecting a camp site, go to
one that is free from, mosquitoes, flies
and other insects which are not only
unpleasant but also disease carriers
and poisonous. Then choose a spot
of ground high enough to be dry if it
rains. Do not sleep on dam;) ground,
An ample supply of woolen blankets
should he provided, as well as warm
clothing and sweaters if you are
camping in a place where the evenings
may be cool.
Matches, cigarettes and cigar stubs
should not be thrown aw ay carelessly
when camping in the woods. Camp¬
fires should also he thoroughly ex¬
tinguished whenever you leave the
camp. Forest fires, causing injury
and death, have often been started
by careless campers.
Axes and halchets should be used
with care, for jt is ail too easy to cut
a hand or foot badly. Sterilize ail
cuts, particularly those from rusty
nails or old iron, to avoid lock-jaw
or other infection.
Firearm*
The National Safety Council re¬
ports that one-third of t he deaths from
firearms occur between ages 10 and
19, and another 20 per cent between
ages 20 and 29. The hazard exists
chiefly among boys and young men.
Firearms should be carried only
according to the accepted rules. If
you don't know the rules, learn them
before picking up a gun and- tramping
through the fields and woods.
Make sure, that nobody is in range
when you contemplate using firearms,
and under no circumstances point a
gun at another person. Your victim
may never live to hear the all too
common and weak excuse, “1 didn't
know it was io&do4,”
Snake Bites
Find ou' what poisonous snake*
are prevalent in the district you
intend to visit, and learn something
about their appearance and habits.
Rattlers, copperheads, cotton-mouths,
or water-moccasins, and the coral or
harlequin snakes are dangerous. Rid¬
ing boots or leather leggings give
considerable protect ion. If a snake
bite does occur, don’t lose your head:
Apply a tourniquet just above the
bite, remembering to loosen it for &
moment every fifteen minutes. Steri¬
lize the skin and cut a gash courage¬
ously just .above the bite with a sharp
knife. Suction by mouth will help
draw off some of the venom, which
should not be swallowed or retained
in the mouth. Get a physician as.
quickly as possible, and have anti¬
toxin for snake bite given if possible.
People going into localities where
snakes are plentiful can obtain a
supply of anti-toxin put up in small
syringes ready for use. Alcohol is not
an anti-toxin for snake venom. Do.
not depend on. it.
This is the third of a series of 12
articles on Vacations and Health.
The fourth, on The Optra. Road,
mil answer the questions.:
I. What should be done before
starting on a long automobile
trip? 2* Is the condition of the
car more important than the
physical condition of the driver?
3- In driving far, how often
should the driver stop for rest?
