What You Can Do to Help
One Rescued from Drowning

Commissioner of Health, New York City
SUSPENDED animation" is a term used to describe
the condition in which the victim is to all ap-
pearances dead and yet the spark of life ■till
lingers.
Perhaps no better example can be mentioned than
the profound effects of drowning.
Here is a body from which life appears to have
fled. To all appearances we are gazing at a dead man.
Yet life may be coaxed back, and once again the man
mav function as a living being.
In drowning, before death actually takes place,
there is a brief suspension of animation and, if treat-
ment is properly and vigorously applied, during this
period, recovery is certain.

crops cheer up the farmers, in spite
of low prices, in some sections at
least.
Around Omaha, instead of selling
corn at 50 cents a bushel, farmers
raise more hogs, feed them corn
nnd allow the Intelligent animals to
change fifty-cent com into ten-dol-
lar-pork.
Hogs are worth ten dollars a hun-
dred now. Even at six dollars a hun-
dred they can be raised without loss
on fifty-cent corn.
In Nebraska this spring there were
667,oOO brood sows. In 1918 there
were 811,000. There will be 1,000.000
Nebraska brood sows soon unless
pork drops as rapidly as corn. More
trouble for the railroads. They
won't have the corn to haul, and it
would weigh more than the hogs,

left, and when that Is gone no more

This opinion on American trade
with South America wns given to the
United Press by W. K. Ackley. head
of tho American Foreign Banking
corporation here.
"In general." said Ackley, "it Is
the old Btory of the laxity of some
American concernn who have not yet
learned that the great eHuential In
foreign trade Is that orders received
must be fllled with exacting care.
Must Keep Word.
"The United States manufacturer
must realize that if he promised to

length of time, and the good* do not

Struggle Better.
"It might have been better If she
had had to struggle harder for her
triumph. She would thus be less
likely to allow her easily-obtained
position to slip from her simply
through lack of care."
"It Is a regrettable fact," continued
Ackley. "that of the American busi-

A carrier on a suburban route took |
ute. It was qulti
problem to carry his route as his
substitute who was his brother also

problem. A strange boy who had

with the dog. The dog would ruu up
to the gate and stand there until tho
paper was left. The route was car-
ried without a "kick" due to this car-
rier's faithful "pal."
