to our readers to learn how to
treat persons who mny be prostrated
by the sun's rays. If one is overcome
by the heat, is pale, weak and pulse-less,
he wants n teaspoonfull of brandy
In water, to stimulate him. If he is
florid in the face, and the heart Is runn-ing
like a windmill, he wants an appli-cation
of cold water, with lee on the
temples and wrists. The first Is "over-come
by the heat,'' the second genuine
"sunstroke," and a good deal more dan-gerous.
The former Is preceded by
nausea and dizziness; the latter if there
Is an ypremonltlons at all. with a sud-den
dimness of sight, everything turn

of my arraligeineiils so far.
During his visit, ...r. Heck said: You
will find the work of the office up-to-date.
If there is any uncompleted

chosen profession in which he has
spent so much time and hard work.

anil with n continuation of a Republi-can
administration In power which is
now fairly assured, faithfulness and

longer. Mr. Holland is not looking
beyond his first four years of service,
however, being content, nt present, to
felicitate himself on the good at hand,
which, by the way. Is shared by fellow-member!
of his profession in the coun-ty
