Severely Burned - Stella Fair

A very serious accident befell Miss Stella Fair last Sunday morning while she was endeavoring to clean her gloves. Sha had the gloves drawn on her hands and was using a cloth and gasoline for that purpose. there were thoroughly saturated with the fluid and she stepped to the stove for the purpose of throwing the saturated cloth in the fire, when the gas arising from the saturated gloves became ignited and burned her hands and wrists very seriously. A physician was immediately summoned who dressed the burns but they were blistered and swollen to such an extent that the drugs applied failed to quite the pain. As a last resort the blisters were lanced and the water allowed to be drawn and other quieting drugs applied. This was a very close call for the young lady but it hoped that she will soon recover from this serious misfortune. This experience should serve as a lesson to others who use gasoline in a very careless manner.
