BURNS.
Probably no accident to which peo
ple are subject is of more immediate
importance than burns and what to do
for them, and at this time when
Christmas trees are the popular thing
and where there are so many inflam
mable things connected with them
and when burns are so frequently re
ceived and are often so serious, it
seems proper that some information
might be given as to the best thing
to do and what not to do.
The best thing to do is to prevent
the burn by using more care than is
usual in the handling of the decora
tions of the tree. In the first place
never use cotton for making snow, as
it is so easily ignited when candles
are used, and as there is no other
'method of lighting a tree in our city
candles will be used and used exclu
sively, so use no cotton.
Be sure when you place the candles
that each one is so placed that no
sprig of the tree is directly above it
within ten inches, as the sprig will
get very hot and sometimes burst into
| flame when you think that it is at
I a safe distance; go further and give it
a perfectly safe margin; take no
chances.
Never put cotton under the tree at
the base. Use some non-inflammable
material such as white oil cloth, white
tissue paper is nearly as bad as cot
ton.
If you are t6 be dressed as a real
Santa Claus be careful not to reach
over a lighted candle as your furry
suit will catch fire quickly and it is
very difficult to get out of quickly;
some very serious bums have been re
ceived in this way.
Should a small blaze start be sure
to smother it quickly. Do not try to
break off the branches, as they will
only bend or peel and you will loose
valuable time. Have a cloth handy
that can be used for this purpose.
Should you be so unfortunate as to
receive a bum, wrap the part in soft
cloth or cotton, saturated with a mix
ture of lime water and linseed or
sweet oil, or sweet oil alone will re
lieve the pain when wrapped with a
cloth saturated with it. Fresh lard
or butter or the old standby of flour
and water will afford a considerable
relief. If your bum is at all severe
=a UcU L«=U Uc=u id. UcJ Uc=u UssJ Ltxi i '-JUi£nianjanjanjaruani57uc2juar
call a doctor as you may this way
save a bad scar formation.
Bums are divided into classes call
ed degrees, and are so divided only
according to the depth of the bum.
When a bum is received over a mus
cular area it is not so apt to leave a
serious result because the underlying
tissues can protect the deeper import
ant structures, but when it is on the
back of the hand or, like some cases,
when the clothing catches fire and it
runs up under the arm or into the el
bow or on the neck you may have a
very serious time before you are well
and have fully regained the use of
your arm or neck because of the dan
ger of scar formation and the result
ant contraction. When scar tissue
forms it contracts because it is com
posed largely of white elastic fibres
and these are very poorly supplied
with blood vessels, hence they are
hard and do not give at all when un
der tension, in fact they draw and
when such a burn is located under the
arm or in the elbow or in the palm of
the hand very bad deformities can re
sult.
It is so much easier to avoid these
things than it is to cure them that the
warning cannot be made too vigorous j
to use all precaution and take no j
chances. Nothing so mars the pleas-j
and happiness than to have such an
unfortunate accident occur.

Have You Had This Letter?
If a business man wrote to you on a scrap of paper and
never used a letter head, you would conclude he wasn’t
much of a success—wouldn’t you? A man who does not
use modern business methods cannot possibly compete with
the man who does. A man who pays all his bills by cash
and never by check does not impress people with being a
successful man.
If you pay your bills by checks on your Bank Account here
you are writing upon the Letter Head of Success.
Our books now show nearly 1600 accounts. Is your name there?
