before midnight.

a deputy was lowered into the opening

LEXINGTON WOMEN LEARN
FIRST AID SERVICE, j
I
Members cf Preparedness Club Re.
ceive Instructions From Dr.
J. Homer Mathias.
News and Courier, 2nd.
Lexington, June ?The feature
of yesterday's meeting of the Ladies'
Preparedness Club of Lexington was
the masterly address of Dr. J. H. Mathias,
who, at the invitation of the
Club, has agreed to give the women
a series of lessons in first-aid work,
to the end that the Club may be in
position to lend its aid in relieving
suffering soldiers on the battlefield, in
the event the services of its members
are needed. Dr. Mathias, himself an
enthusiastic benefactor in the cause
of the Red Cross and other associations
having* for their chief aim and
purpose giving: relief to the injured !
and dying, gave the members of the |
Preparedness Club most instruc- J
tive advice, touching upon the following
subjects, pointing out in detail
nine essentials of importance to the
first-aider: "Be calm and don't be
hurried; send for doctor, if within
- ? ? JI?? ? A-.ll . 1 r\TVi !
mii'ieu ;a.Le , icinuvv; lj^hv ,
ing; put in "omfoitaVe position; Jo.
not move patient if seriousjy injured; i
ask for water; Rive stimulants; ex- j
amine injurv before treating, and the |
removal of clothing."
Tells What First Aid Means.
Dr. Mathias explained the meaning
of "first aid" at the outset, lay-1
ing particular stress upon the fact
that the doctor and nurse go hand
in hand, and the success of one depends
largely upon the efforts of
the other. "V^e all Know, 01 course,
said Dr. Mathias, "that a doctor, as
he has given much study to the subject,
is best qualified to take care of
the ill and injured. On the ether
hand, accidents and sudden illness
often occur where the services of
physicians cannot be immediately obtained;
and in no instance is this more
true than on the field of battle. The
necessary delay may result very
disastrously for the ill or injured.
First aid to the injured must be
learned, however, like every other
subject and no one will know what to
do for ill or injured unless he or she
has studied it. But all that is necessary
for good results is that the
student" have common sense and devote
the small amount of time required
for acquiring the special
knowledge and skill.
Cheap Insurance.
"Knowledge of first aid to the injured
is a very valuable and very
cheap form of insurance. Possibly
we may never need this knowledge,
but would the wise man or woman
be willing to let any building go
...'xl. ..i. - ? ? - ? ? ^ ? ? ? ?. ? lb ? M A A it* ? 4
wicnouc insurance un me cnance mac
it Would never burn?" asked the speaker.
"How much more important,
then, it is for us to insure our own
selves against the results of accidents
through knowledge of first aid
to the injured," declared Dr. Mathias.
Continuing, the lecturer said that
"there is no clashing of interests between
the doctor and the first aider.
The duties of the former begin when
the latter leave off. Knowledge of
first aid enables trained persons to
put patients into doctor's hands in
the best possible condition for cure,"
he said. "Treatment, except of very j
minor cases of injury or illness and j
care of the injured and ill in an emergBL'.y
till a doctor can he nrocu*H
is lol Crst aid," sa:1 Dr. Mathias.
Too Many Accidents.
Dr. Mathias assorted, further,
common and the attention of every
student of the first aid is earnestly
invited to the great benefits to be
gained by studying how to prevent
them as part of his or her course in
first aid," said he. The speaker declared
that prevention is better
than cure in injury as well as in disease,"
and he urged the members of
the Preparedness Club to study the
practical side, as much as the theoretical
-.ide. "The results of both,"
he said, "are mainly dependant upon
the action of the individuals." Dr.
Mathias stressed the fact "that every
injury should suggest how the acci"
: . ...
dent which caused it rmpht have oeen |
prevented. Still more, if any fiirst'
aider cares for a real injury, he or J
she should think over the cause for it
carefully and so far as within their |
power take steps to prevent a simi- 1
lar accident in the future," he con i
eluded. !
