With the peak of farm accidents
soon to be here in the rush season
and the busy summer months, this
is a good time for farm folks to
check up on first aid treatment.
Knowing what to do until a doctor
can be reached will go far toward

Farm folks should check up on
what to do when:
A barefooted child steps on a
rusty nail, broken glass or other
sharp object.
A child contacts poison ivy or
poison oak.
Somebody becomes overcome by
sunstroke or sunburn.
A child is burned by firecrackers,

Gertrude Stein was born in Alle

her family moved to California, and
she was raised in San Francisco
