with a second cupful of the mixture, then push the forefinger as far 

 down the throat as possible and keep it there until vomiting is produced. 

 The forefinger is one of the best of emetics. If mustard is lacking take 

 a teaspoonful of salt in the warm water. After the emetic has to 

 some extent relieved the stomach of the poison, make the patient drink 

 large quantities of water, or better still, of milk. The white of an egg, 

 or a little flour stirred in the water will be good. The purpose of taking 

 this large quantity of liquid is to dilute any of the poison that may be 

 left in the stomach. If the poisoning results from an acid a little baking 

 soda diluted in the water will help neutralize the acid. 



Rules for Care With Fire in the Woods. 



If every person would strictly observe the following rules, as 

 formulated by American Forestry, the forest fire risk would practically 

 be wiped out : 



Rule i. Be sure your match is out before you throw it away. 



Rule 2. Knock out your pipe ashes or throw your cigar or cigar- 

 ette stump where there is nothing to catch fire. 



Rule 3. Don't build a camp fire any larger than is absolutely 

 necessary. Never leave it, even for a short time, without putting it 

 OUT with water or earth. 



Rule 4. Don't build a camp fire against a tree or log. Build a 

 small one where you can scrape away the needles, leaves or grass from 

 all sides of it. 



Rule 5. Don't build bonfires. The wind may rise at any time 

 and start a fire which you cannot control. 



Rule 6. If you discover a fire, put it out if possible; if you can't, 

 inform the nearest forest ranger or fire warden, as quickly as you pos- 

 sibly can.

The word forest is derived from the Latin foris, meaning out-of- 

 doors. The original meaning of the word forestry was the art of 

 hunting, and had little to do with the care of the forests.
