When one realizes that they are entirely differ- ent conditions and require different modes of treatment this care in dis- tinguishing between them will be significance j more obvious. Heat exhaustion is a condition sim- ilar to fainting. It usually occurs where people become over-tired, phys- ically exhausted' from any cause, or by working or being in an over- crowded or poorly ventilated room. The conditions that predispose to it are those that tend to lower one's physical or nervous energy. A person so affected is usually not unconscious, but they are very weak and prostrated.

Johanns Schreuers, the lone Belgian in the orchestra, gritted his teeth as the musicians next swept through ' Die Wncht am Rhein."

If the producer and dealer havo done their duty there is left daily at the consumer's door a bottle of clean, cold, unadulterated milk. It will be- come unfit for food, especially for ba- bies, if not properly cared for in the home. The following rules, issued by the Illinois state food commission on the care of milk in the home, are worth reading and following: 1. Have the dealer leave the bot- tles in a cool place, protected from sun and flies. 2. Take bottles In at the earliest moment after delivery. 3. Wash cap and outside of bottle thoroughly with clean, cold water. 4. Then place at once on Ice. 5. Keep the ice box clean. «;.

In 1084 this old building was built by the Congregational church and it was the center of all church affairs up- to ten years ago when the new church building was erected on Lin- coln avenue.. Shortly after the ground floor of tbe building was remodeled Into a garage with living rooms above and leased to Fred Whitney, who oc- cupied it up to about six months ago, when it was turned over to Hostetter and Wilson, proprietors of the Win- netka Auto Service company. The origin of the fire Is rather mys- terious. Mr. Wilson had his home above the garage. Tuesday night Mrs. Wilson was aroused by smoke fumes in the bedroom. Mr. Wilson was out on a trip so she awoke the two chil- dre and carried them out of the house screaming to attract the neigh- bors. Fred Richardson of the Rich- ardson Garage and Jim Peterson of the Co Operative company were the first on the scene and they turned in an alarm and ran Into the garage to bring out the cars which were stored there. They succeeded in getting out a car belonging to Wilson and one be- longing to J. D. Knode of Spruce street, but they could not reach an electric owned by F. D.' Fulton of Ridge avenue. Meanwhile the fire department hav- ing failed to arrive, Richardson and Peterson ran down to the station and ASSISTANT POSTMASTEI TBYBII Moon Bill Just Passed by House Provides That All As- sistants Must Take Civil Service Examinations.

When they arrived the flames were coming through the roof and It was impossible to save the building so they gave their attention to the neighboring buildings so that tbe fire would not spread. The volunteers ar- rived soon after but they could do nothing. The building was burned to the ground, nothing standing but the brick, foundation and a large chimney. The Wilson family lost everything thought that they were frightened away before they had finished their work.

Some were dressed as clowns. others as acrobats, jugglers, Indiana, gypsies, fortune tellers, bareback rid- ersj, butterflies, Wild animals, etc. The Wilmette banner was carried by Ralph Bellamy, 1050 Linden avende. After the parade was over, the circus performance was opened by a drill in the ring by the two bands. This was followed by a gypsy dance given by the Waukegan children, a butterfly dance by the Rogers Park children. and clown dances by youngBters from Lake Bluff. The performance was ended with a series of dances ana acrobatic teats given by a group or youthful athlete* from Winnetka. The regular children's program and con- cert followed immediately after tha close of the circus performance. Luncheon for Band Boys. Preceding the parade, the North Shore committee gave a luncheon to the boys of the two bands. Mrs. Ed- win L. Lobdell of Highland Park was chairman ot the day. She was as- sisted by Mrs. Julius Rosenwald. 1 he other chairmen were Mrs. Sosmann, , of Lake Bluff, Mrs. S. Cain of Ra- vinia,.

Wheelock, the Kenilworth part or the annual children's party at Ra- vinia, Thursday, was a great success. Mrs. Wheelock was -assisted by Mrs. M. C. Newman and Miss Marie Hasten. All the children of the north shore towns dressed to represent a circus. The most striking costume of the Ken- ilworth group was that of little Maysie Casque.

We are with the Russians In the present war, but why should they gloat over the defeat of our great Napoleon? And so the air was blue with "mon dieuB," "Gott in Himmels" and Rus- sian unspellable expletives. Quarrels arose between gutteral Germans, bla- tant Belgians, roaring Russians' and fluent French. Internal strife, fanned by patriotic fervor, threatened to dis- rupt the organization. ______Hold Peace Conference. A peace conference was held Sun- day. About 75 per cent of the musi- cians are Germans and 10 per cent are Austrians. The remainder are French, Belgians and Russians. The Germans and Austrians were represented by Alfred Quensel, Bruno Steindel and Hans Stoeber. Bartelli spoke for his country and Schreuers for Belgium. Julius Foreman, Alexander Zukowsky and Harry Welsbach, the concert meister, upheld the Russians. And so it has been decided no more patriotic airs of Russia, Germany, Austria. Belgium or France will be In- cluded In the orchestra's program for the balance of the season, that is, as long as the war lasts. And Henrlcl Bartelli is happy, and the Germans are placid. monla.

There is nothing so demoralizing to any landscape aa a paper bag. of heat prostration, lowered from any cause whatever. In this condition the trouble Is in tbe vital center in the brain known as tbe heat regulating center. It be- comes paralyzed, with the result that the excessive amount of beat pro- duced in the body is not properly eliminated. When wo take ordinary exercise on warm days or at any time when there is an exU^^mount of heat generated In the hooXTrris eliminated very largely by this heat regulating center sending more blood to tbe skin. There is as a result a profuse perspiration and a cooling of the body. In sunstroke thig heat regulating cen- ter, aa has been said, becomes par- alysed. The chief operator of the rail- road has had a "stroke;" the trains do not get their proper orders with the result that the blood, Instead ot being sent to the surface of the body, tends to congest the Internal organs; the temperature may rise to as high as 110 degrees or over, with usually very serious results. Tho important fact to bear in mind, however, Is that the temperature Is only a symptom; tha real trouble is in tha nervous sys- tem, and the treatment should be di- rected to relieving It and not primarily reducing the temperature. Symptoms. People suffering from sunstroke are usually deeply unconscious; tbe skin Is hot and dry, the pulse full and bounding, and the temperature usual* ly very high. While waiting for a doctor get the patient Into a cool, shady place; remove all superfluous clothing. The best Jbrm of^trealmenT Is to turn the hose on them, or it this la not at hand, use 'a sprinkling can, being sure to rub tha akin thoroughly at the same time. Apply cold cloths or ice to the head, but do not use Ice packs or baths. The effect of the spraying and rubbing Is to bring the, blood to the surface, thus relieving the congestion of the nervous system and Internal organs and a coincident lowering of tha body temperature. An Ice pack or oath would tend to keep up this condition. Batter give no stimulants what* ever.

In such diseases the milk was infected by some one handling the milk who had the dis- ease or who bad come in contact with the diseased person. Obviously, one suffering from a contagious disease or one who Is caring for a diseased per- son should not be allowed to go near or to handle the milk or its utensils for other members of the household. Typhoid fever, while not classed as a contagious disease, Is communicable from one person to another. The or- dinary channel of communication is generally considered to be drinking water contaminated by sewage, but occasionally It to disseminated through food. Milk may become in- fected with this disease In various ways, for Instance contaminated water used for cleansing milk utensils or bottles. Summer intestinal diseases of chil- dren may be caused by disease bac- teria carried Into the system by the milk supply. All other germ dis- eases may be spread by means of In- fected milk.

The relation of bacteria to tempera- ture Is most interesting and impor- tant. A certain amount of heat is es- sential to their growth and a certain amount is fatal to them Each par- ticular variety of bacteria has an up* per and a lower temperature limit be- yond which It does not grow, and a certain temperature, eajled_ihiLPptl- mum, at which It grows best. Most forms grow best between 80 and 98 degrees F. If milk is cooled and held at B0 degrees F. or, better still. 40 degrees, rapid growth Is checked at once 'and the multiplication to very alow.

The title of the bill aflfl that it is a bill "to amend the »*£■ and civil service tews, and for other purposes." It Is what I call a double* barrel bill, for It contains legtetetta|j| on two very different subjects.

Although this looks like favoring civil service, it is actually designs* to upset the civil service stSSss-^H assistant postmasters by means of this tew.
