Asphyxia Is a queer word,, but. we need not be afraid of It.. It .is, derived from Greek words mean-- lng not to throb. ' It means to ud cessation or breathing, duo to deprivation of air or oxygen. Y lrof. Ynn dell' Henderson, one of tho greatest nu-' thorJtles, says that,, In drowning It Ik asphyxiation that causes death. He believes that tho amount of water that enters the lungs lu drowning cases is ordinar ily small and practically lnslgnlfl- leant, as such water is quickly ab sorbed by tho lungs anyway and scarcely Interferes with the re suscitation of the victim. That word re-suscitatinn . Is another queer one which we should not bo afraid of; It is of I -at In origin and means to revive. If we accept Professor Hender son's dictum. ' and I'm afraid we must, it puts the Ited t'ross and me In an awkward position. Here for years the American Red Cross and t he soctilhd National Safety council, and a lot of lesser organi sations, have been teaching tho first aider that the first thing one should do when a victim is rescued from suhmundon Is to place the body prone and then clasp your lands under the belly and lift the body In Jack-knife position, ln or der to drain the water from the breathing passages.

I even Include pictures In my own Resuscitation booklet (copy which anybody may obtain on request, no clipping, and a stamped envel ope bearing the applicant's name and address) " allowing how the band or arm under the head forms such a trap, and how tho proper position, as directed by the discov erer of the prone pressure method not only favors drainage of any fluid from the breathing passages but provides against any obstruc tion of breathing by mud or sand. But along comes Professor Hen derson, whom I scarcely daro to challenge yet and assures me that "it Is true that water will not run out so easily with the head supported on an arm. But It is not necessary for water to run out. for It has been shown that It Is quickly absorbed even In consider able amounts from the lungs," That dashes it. But the fight Is not over. No. no. Having apprised Professor Henderson of tho great anguish his opinion had caused, I asked him If there Is any sound objection to the cheek on the ground, as taught by Schafer himself. In re ply the professor said that In mines, where artificial respiration is applied, there are likely to be puddles of water on. the ground, and an unconscious man may be drowned by being placed face down In such a puddle. I think I have the professor here. As a common sense ques tion, would any child, halfwit or normal peison with enough Intelli gence to apply artificial respira tion permit tho victim's nose or mouth to remain under water, sand or mud ? Tho campaign to get tho arm out from under the head goes for ward with unremitting xeal. Qi i:sTioxs and axswkrs J ; Keep Yoop Teeth and Your 1.

I'm glad to know you are better, but I suspect the opera tion or other treatment had more to do with your recovery than did the adoption of flaxseeds or bran. tho I believe these things are often : I beneficial for those who hao chronic mucous, colitis. Likewise I believe such invalids or cranks (you pays your money and takes ; your choice) often do better to in-j cltule plenty of raw fruits ana fresh greens nnd raw vegetables ln the diet than they do on a care fully refined or "soft' diet, for it is difficult for them to get the vitamins they need from refined food. . r Sundown Stories Tlie Garden .By MA II Y GRAHAM BONNER ; "I've turned the tlm ahead a number of years." the Little Black Clock besan, "and I've turned it to a summer day. too."
