In hi annual report to congreM
Secretary Work, of the department
of the interior, recommends that
no more government timber be sold

Most of the city's financial
troubles trace back to rapid growth,
coupled with the six per cent tax

temptation 4o exceed the budget

to vote a special levy each year
than to go on issuing excess war
rants and later adding these war
rants to the fixed and permanent
debt by refunding bond issues.

throughout western Oregon that re

handicap lumbering operations.
, Thla Is true for two reasons. One
Is that these lands are checker

way that refusal to sell them would
very seriously hamper blocking out
areas for economical lumbering
operations. The other Is that

For alt practical purposes the

- What do you aunuoae Is . the
caufle of a tremenduus number of
accidents, aonie of thant very
aeriouar The common nail.
During 19! 4 in the state of New
York there were 1.338 accidents
duo to nails which were compen
sated' for by the Inaursnce com
panies., I have no tloubt there
were twice as many more of which
there is no official record.
How-did the accidents happen?
By stepping on an exnoed nail In
the floor, from a nail on the in
side of .a hoard, the nail filled
cover qr a packing caae fell on the
arm anil hand these are a few of
the . recorded accidents. ln my
own medical experience, a flyinit
nail-has damaiced the eye. 1 sup
pose -I have seen three hundred
or more such wounds.
i The ultimate result of a-nail
accident ! depends o nwhether or
not the wound becomes Infected,
ir it does lire itself may be lost.
If the wound is In the eye and
it becomes infected, certainly the
sight will be lost.
It should be the rule In every
household, on every form. In
every barn and factory, in the
public ways of every community.
to net rid of projecting nails. You
will see nails sticking up from
sidewalks, ln entry ways, on the
stairs, In the kitchen table drawer
in the corner of a choir, even In a
broken door. Every such nail is a
menace to the safety and even to
the lives of your family and the
PUDUC . -
- you should never permit your
self to pass by without pounding
10. bending down, or pulling out
every- such nail. If everybody
would make this a rule-for one
week there wouldn't be left a pro
jecting nail in the world.
vt hat do you do when you punc
ture the akin with a nail? You
should make the wound bleed,
washout - the debris with - clean
water and apply 2 per cent iodine.
Then the wound should be pro
tected with gauze, kept in place
by adhesive or a bandage.' . .
II the accident is to the face, or
the' eye, do not fall to. see a doctor
at xmce. All face cuts, especlslly
1th Infectedt'artlcles. are danger
ous. Every eye accident, no mat
ter , how trivial it may seem, is
serious.
