FIRST AID TO THE INJURED
TTpwarrl of 28.000,000 boys and girls in this country are today en
gaged in reminding us of the happiest day that will ever be recorded
in American history.
With fire and flag they are imitating the sound and scene of battle
action which signed and sealed our freedom and made us what we
are. It is a splendid ceremony, and only the driest of cynics are those
who complain of this gay racket. There is something the matter with
the man who asks that this joyous celebration be stilled.
There is. however —and unfortunately for the vigorous and
healthy and patriotic small boy—a danger to be considered today
Each year tbe number of serious accidents, due to careless use of fire
works, grows larger.
Every care should be exercised to rajjiiotise this danger. Here
are some hints in tbe event that the dav'brings suffering into your
family, given in the hope that you may not find it necessary to avail
yourself of them:
For slight burns use a paste made of common baking soda and
water. Carron oil, which is composed of equal parts of lime water and
linseed oil. is an excellent remedyfor a burn.
In the event of powder burns on the face, we suggest the imme
diate use of peroxide of hydrogen. This oxidizes or dissolves the pow
der grains, thus preventing ugly specks or blemishes.
If the eye is injured, bathe at once with soft cotton soaked in ice
water in which is dissolved a pinch of salt. The salt serves to lessen
the pain. A very painful injury to the eye calls for immediate medical
attention.
When the flesh is torn or lacerated, wash the wound thoroughly
with water that his been previously boiled. Wrap the wounded part
with antiseptic gauze and absorbent cotton. This is known as the first
aid to the injured upon the battlefield. Antiseptic gauze and absor
bent cotton a-e invaluable in time of severe injuries. Quantities of each
may be secured for a trifle and a supply should always be kept in every
home.
Physicians everywhere are emphatic in warning parents against
the practice of allowing their children to play with pistols that shoot
blank cartridges. They are said to be the chief cause of tetanus, or
lockjaw—the greatest danger of tbe Fourth. No more deadly and aw
ful disease is known to mankind. No death is as terrible. Scientists
say that the tetanus germ forms only beneath the skin. It cannot
thrive in the open air. Therefore, it is imperative that all such
wounds should be kept open until medical assistance can be had. The
first thing the doctor will do will be to apply tetanus antitoxin, which
can be secured at any drug store.
Above all else, remember that the remedies suggested for serious
injuries are merely temporary. When the flesh is broken the safe way is
to consult a physician or surgeon as soon as possible. Lockjaw has
been known to develop from slight scratches. Precautionary measures
today may save to you the life of the child you hold dear.
Tell him to h-ve a good time. Satisfy fully his little noise-loving
soul, but be careful.

OR ROBERT'S RENDEVOUS WITH THE RED-HANDED ROVERS
BY F. W. SCHAEFER.
•THE BOS'N HAS JUST CAUGHT A SPANISH MACKEREL," HE
SAID.
CHAPTER VII
"From now on I command this
•nip!" announced Robert, looking
•bout bim like a conqueror, or a
backstop trying to locate a high
foul.
"'Listen, listen!" all the pirates
(tried. They meant to say "Hear,
•ear!"
Colonel Crust lay In a dejected at
titude, sprawling in the Morris
Chair, his feet cocked comfortably
Upon a chicken coop.
"Well, I don't care, Just so you
keep me on the pay roll," he re
marked.
"Yes, you can atay on It If you
know where one ia," our hero told
kin magnanimously.
"Now, men, for the Spanish main
»nd Spanish gold," shouted Robert.
This was greeted with much satis
taction by the crew. So they salted
and Bailed and sailed.
One day, a Mlasourlan, named
Crawdad, oame up to Robert, salut
•d respectfully, and said, "1 think
»c have arrore at the Spanish
fcaln"
"JTaat make* you taluk so?"
Robert said, kindly.
"The bos'n has just caught a
Spanish mackerel."
"Then we ought t 0 sight a galleon
presently," the intrepid boy com
mander observed.
"I hope it will be a galleon witn
lots of quarts on board," spoke up
Colonel Crust, who still loved to
live up to the traditions of a pirate.
"If so, yon can have the quarts,
and I will take the pieces of eight
and the doubloons," our hero re
plied with a laugh.
"How about the captives -don't
we kill them?" asked a manly look
ing young pirate with a bright,
honest face.

HOW CROKER FELT
AFTER THE DERBY
By Harry G. Farmer.
LONDON. July 4 —WTien I enter
ed his apartments In the Hotel Met
ropole, Richard Croker, derby win
ner, was sorting out a huge basket
of telegrams and cablegrams which
he had received on the victory of
his horse Orby.
"All except one contain the word
'congratulations'," remarked the un-

demonstrative recipient.
"How does the exception reads?"
I asked.
"It reads 'Bully for you'," was
Mr. Croker's rejoinder.
"What are the sensations of a
man who wins the derby, Mr. Crok
er?" I ventured.
"Oh, It takes a great of racing
to give me a thrill," said the silent
sage. "Winners do not always give
enough credit to the horse. An
owner sometimes thinks it is he
who has won and not. the horse.
Then he is inclined to get Inflated
and to think he is clever. If he
loses, he calls it bad luck.
"A most pleasurable sensation to
me comes from the thought that so
many of my poorer neighbors in
Ireland have won money by reason
of my horse winning. Those who
did not have large sums bet small
amounts, even as low as sixpence.
I'd rather see the man who bets
sixpence winning than the man who
bets £6,000.
"A third sensation you might
term that of twin patriotism. I was
pleased that the winner of the
derby was an Irish trained horse; I
was pleased that Orby's dam was
an American mare, Rhoda 8., from
the blue grass grass region of Ken
tucky. You may contradict the
nonsense about my giving up my
American citizenship. I am an
American citizen and I mean to live
and die as such. Was it not the
old Romans who used to be so proud
of their citizenship? I think Amer
icans are like them in this respect.
Mr. Croker was asked if he in
tended to run Orby at Newmarket.
"No," he replied, "it is not my
present intention. As to Ascot, I
feel such affection for the horse
that I would be sorry to see him
running on a course which Is gen
erally as hard as granite, and then
I don't know what weight would be
put on him. I don't think I shall
run the horse until the Irish derby."

The Daily Short Story
A RAILROAD HERO
Pat Murphy was a section fore
man on the V railroad In old
Indiana several years ago. At that
time I was employed as a clerk In
the head offices on this road, and
was very well acquainted with all
the men on the road, Pat among
the rest.
Pat was an Irishman, and he had
worked for "twinty-foive years and
niver sint me hand car-r to th'
shops," as he put it. He was nut

Pat was patrolling his section
When the weather was bad he
would trust this work to none of
his men; he wanted to know for
himself that everything was all
right. On a curve, with reverse
curves leading to It from either
side, was a bridge which was con
sidered dangerous even in the most
favorable weather. All trains were
cautioned to slow down when ap
proaching this point. But No. 83
was lact —her engineer wanted to
reach the warmth and shelter at the
end of the line.
When Pat reached this bridge on
his section he started slowly across,
but when almost to the middle,
stopped suddenly. The little ring
of light from his lantern showed
him that half the bridge was gone.
He pulled out his watch. No. 83
