HOW TO TREAT A BURN--
First aid treatment for bums

doctors now treat severe bums
leaving them open and
the editors of Changing Times
in their June issue.
The open treatment is only used
hospitalized, severe cases. Only
doctor should decide what method
indicated.
Before the doctor arrives, here
the recommended procedure for treat¬
ing a bum: wound is dirty,
1. If the
pour a solution of warm water and
mild soapsuds over it. Rinse with
clean, warm water. If clothing
stuck to the bum, do not pull it away.
Cut away the cloth around the wound
and soak what is left with the soap
and-water solution.
2. Close the wound particularly against air if the as
quickly as opened possible, the skin. For
burn has very
small, light bums a coating of oint¬
ment may be sufficient, but for any
except the least serious use this
method: Spread petroleum jelly or a
bum ointment on a sterile bandage—
not on the wound itself—and apply
to the bum.
Lacking sterile gauze, use a piece
of sheet that has been recently washed
and ironed. In an emergency you can
substitute baby oil, mineral oil or
cooking oil for petroleum jelly, contains but
don’t use butter. Most butter
salt, which may irritate the bum, and
it is harder to clean off than liquid
oils.
3. If possible, tie the bandage
snugly against the wound. The pres¬

you are to
on, wrap the patient In a sheet. But
don’t load on blankets.
4. Give aspirin for pain relief.
5. Remember that most deaths
within the first day or two after a
severe and extensive bum are caused
by shock, so part of your treatment
should counteract this assault to the
system. Dissolve one teaspoon of table
salt and a half-teaspoon of baking
soda in a quart of water and get the
patient to drink as much as he lan.
This will help replace chemicals lost
from the body as a result of the
bum.

Tired of Your Wife?
Read This Chain Letter
Well, I got a chain letter. This one
is different—doesn’t cost a cent, and
probably won’t run afoul of the fed¬
eral edict that chain letters are illegal.
Here are parts of it:
“Dear tired friend: Unlike most
chain letters this one will cost you no
money. Simply send a copy of this
letter to five of your friends who are
equally tired. Place your name at
J I the foot wife of and the send list, then her bundle up
your to the man
whose name appears at the top of the
list.
When your name comes to the top
of the list, you may receive as many
as 16,178 women, and some of them
are sure to be real dandies’. Have
faith! Do not break the chain . . .
One man broke the chain and got his
wife’ back!”
There are two basic fallacies in the
letter: 1. It is signed (supposedly)
by several nationally well - known
figures to whom the 16,000-plus
figure would seem smal lwhen it
comes to taking their pick of women;
and, 2. Quoting the letter — “Some
of them are sure to be real dandies!”
—Now, if a fellow had a real dandy,
would he send her along? I couldn’t
use another real dandy, I’ve got one
of my own.
My wife, and I presume your wife,
fills almost innumerable roles on this
stage of life. She is chef, chauffeur,
housemaid, tutor, hostess, seamstress,
tailor, family argument arbiter, best
friend and severest critic, gardner,
home-grade-suburban-style psychia¬
trist—to whom you may tell your in¬
nermost thoughts and receive, not
advice, but commiseration — and
thousands of other roles. Trade such
a useful person off for an unknown
—no matter how beautiful—welt. (
reckon not!
MARRIAGE HAS ITS
HUMOROUS SIDE
A newspaper reporter attending the:
50th wedding anniversary of a
happily married couple (must have
been happy to last that long) asked
the “groom” if he had ever considered
divorce. The “groom’s” answer might
fit a lot of us: He pondered a while
and said:
“I’ve never considered divorce, but
I’ve been mad enough to consider
murder several times!”
The psychologists all say that if
you get mad enough, blow off the
head of steam you’ve built up. Your
steam and the steam you get in
answer wil lelear the emotional air,
and you can reconcile your differ¬
ences. The emotions you subdue are
the ones which build up into broken
homes and court fights over the
children.
Of course, some folks look for trou¬
ble. There was a group sitting around
in the country store late one after¬
noon when white-haired Zeke arose
and started to leave. “Going early,
aren’t you, Zeke?” he was questioned.
“Doing it on purpose,” he answered
sourly. “If supper ain’t ready, I’nx
going to raise hell. If it is, I ain’t
going to eat it!”
