That tljese two activities have more than a little in common is suggested by the 1958 report of the National Safety Council, which shows the same number of human deaths from firearms in 1957 as in 1956 a shocking 2,200! Hunters that are so careless or inept as to Shoot themselves or each other will also leave the farm gates open and mistake cows and other domestic livestock for game.

Do ture, make the bandage as not change bandages. If more are necessary on the way to the doctor, place a new one on top of the first.
