A little story illustrating the value of some knowledge of what to do and what not to do in cases of emergency was told at a recent Red Cross meeting by Captain Galloway, M.C. (reports the Evening Post). It concerned two little girls living near Wellington, who had had some Red Cross training, although they were only 10 and 12 years old. One day their father came homf with influenza, and decided to take some aspirin and brandy. Instead he took aspirin and iodine. The child of 12 gave him an emetic and the younger one ran for the doctor.
