POINTS ON KEEPING WELL DR. FREDERICK R. GREEN Editor of "HEALTH" (@ by Western .Ne?'.?pi,per"'nlon.) PROTECTING THE MIDDLE AGED MORE is being done for babies to tiny then ever before in the wajkl's history. old are carefully cared for In many hospitals and public institu tions IRut middle ape is left to take care self. Yet it is in the period of ?wjJc.Ie life, from thirty-five to fifty five, the prime of life and the period of greater production, that the death rate, instead of decreasing, is actually ? rowing. This fact is of interest, not only to the doctor but also to th^ big business man. Probably no business is so vitally interested in the increasing death rate in middle age as- is the in surance business. The Association of Life Insurance Presidents, is the most powerful and inthiential body of men o.'tor Mayo a Ism told them that in the las; twenty-four years we have learned more' about 'human diseases and their treatment than had been learned in tie ;.;e\ en. per cent of all deaths | j.re due to inr'e f.'or-s.

A : burr, of- the first degree is one which reddens the skin; a second-degree i burn is on ? in which the skin is blis tered. while in a hipn of the third degree the skin is burned and black ened throughout its entire thickness. The danger to life in a burn depends not so rnuca on the depth of the burn as on the ami covered. Even a first degree burn is almost always fatal, if one-third or more of the skin of the body is covered. In women and children whose clothes catch fire, death usually follows be cause the entire body is burned. Greater care and watchfulness will save six thousand lives every year now lost through carelessness. Finnish Steam Bath Something of Ordeal When tlie Finiauders carried off many prizes at the Olympic contests at Paris there was wonder as to what natural qualities or methods of living had given them this advantage. A writer in a Victoria paper, an English speaking school teacher, who lived in a Finnish culony on Malcolm island, off the northern end of Vancouver island, thinks she has discovered one cause. It is the steam bath, which is so popular with the race and is even continued under hard and primitive conditions of the west coast of Brit ish Columbia. The steam bath with the Finns is as popular as the bath room or afternoon tea with the Eng lish. Hn Saturday afternoon the entire family took their steam bath, the boys and father first, returning "pink and clean and slumberous," after which the visitor aud the women folk took the lantern and went down to the shed. A blast ft' hot air greeted us as we opened the door. The shed was in two ' divisions and I gathered we were ali i to undress in the outer part. "The inner part of the shed was as | hot a? a moderate oven. On one "side was a high platform and in the middle of the floor a big cairn of si ones, sotue- i thing like an old fashioned brick oven, j I'nderneath was a fireplace, under j which the f'.re wits dying out. There I was a tub of eold water, but 1 couldn't j see any hot water.. The girls -and I got | up ori the platform, and in the dim ? light i f the lantern I felt as though 1 | were taking part in peine prehistoric j ceremony. 1 also felt extremely un- j comfortaljle and absurd, physically and mentally. The heat was terrific near the. roof, but I am a sport and I gave \iutj uo- sign or sound of com plaint. "The mother, clothed in naught fcut her innocence, looking like a plump i priestess* performing sacrificial rites, j began to pour water over the hot stones, and the place filled with steam. "'Veil weei now sweat.' said the sirls. 'and be not so hot.' Sweat I cer tainly did. "They passed along a piece of s >ap and little bunches of cedar twigs.
