THE BUREAU OF MINES' GOOD
WORK EXPLAINED
WASHINGTON*. Nor. 25—A grat
ifying decrease is being skews in the
deaths among men a the mass and
<juaJTse5 of the United States, se
coriing to Van H. Manning, Direc
tor of the Bureau of Mines.
The figures for 1514. wkkb have
just been ceenpiled. show that ASS
less men were tailed than in the
ISIS. The total cumber of men
killed in all coal mines, metal mires
'and Quarries in 1914 was 3.193- It
the year l9is tfcecunber was SjBl
“The totals do not by any means
tell the whole story," sak! Director
Manning. "There were more than s
million men employed in these mines
and ciarries. and the death rate for
the year 1514 was S.K for each 1.
009 men employed. as com rated with
3.43 for tie year 1913. These fig
ures mean that ir. every - 1W mer.
engaged in mining, one man was
saved in the last year. In other
words, in nearly every mining cart?
of ter site in the country there
is one wiser space: to his family,
who would have Seer Jelled, had the
same fatality rate obtained in 1914
as in the preross year.
These results are an eloquent
tribute of the -ncetaig nation wide
• campaign which is being carried or.
in behalf af the miners by the oper
ators. the miners themselves, the
state mine inspectors and the Bcrt-a
of Mines. It has taken the oom
bired efforts of all these agencies
to bring this about, and the Bine—
of Mines is indeed proud of its
share in it. and exceedingly cm re
fill to the state mine inspectors and
others who have so willingly co
operated toward this desirable end.
“I think It is to the credit of
Aoerkar. manhood and American
♦deals that while the European na
tions at war are issuing their ter
rible eaasaaky lists with the names
of killed and wounded by the thous
and. we have so many agencies
striving apt to kill, bet to sav* life,
ar.d that we caa issue lists showmr
a dwinSirx. decreasing death rate
is oar American mines. I do rwc
mean by this that we have in any
way reached idea' Moditkms. More

HOW TO CARE FOR BLISTERS
BURNS AND SCALDS
Ckildnwa frequently bum them
selves arsd have even suffered se
vere scalds from palling upon them
selves vessels containing: hot fluids
Excluding the air from surfaces so
injured does much to relieve pain.
Scalds are best relieved by dress
ings kept moist with a solution of
nrtka urens tincture and water,
in the the proportions nseatfcKsd for
the caiendular.
Change the dressings twice daily, j
and if little blisters begin to form
under its use it is time to stop the
solution and change to generous
application of white vaseline, which
will complete the cure.
Baking sida sprinkled thkklv over ..
a scald and overlaid by wet clothes
r akes a smoothing dressing, but is
less rapidly healing than the fore
going. For bums- vaseline is the
very best application, whether the
injured surface is lightly or deepJv
burned. If ytm get it on quickly ■
enough you but be able to prevent
b'-storing entirely.
TV? not let a child with nose
bleed bead over a basin. It sSwull
stand erect with head throw- W/h
and arms upraised, with a dame
cloth held to its nostril*.
Firra plugging of the nostrils \.l*h ■
cotton in addition to cold watc
applied to the back of the neck
and the forehead, usually checks
v Seeding promptly. heT nose she'd 1
not be blown till scene time after
the bleeding ceases- Obstinate Weed
