A DOCTORS ADVICE.
What the Furnace Does In the Way Of
Bringing Disease.

What the Furnace Does In the Way of
Bringing Disease.
This winter season of the year brings
into prominence furnaces and steam
heat and many other conditions in the
way of internal affairs which do not
operate at other times of the year.
With these come odors which cannot
be accurately defined in-draughts, and
variety of slight disturbances OF
peculiar quality. AS the autumn dies
and is supplanted by winter, the house
wife has, as it were, her nose in the
air, getting here and there a something
which attracts her sense of smell, and
yet something which she cannot de-
fine, although she knows intuitively
that it is not healthy. She may search
in many directions and not discover the
source. or she may locate one odor and
neglect the other, or fail to recognize
the most important of all.
When the fires are burning in a
furnace there is an outside draught of
air which has to be heated in the
furnace and then distributed through
out the household. This air comes di-
rectly from the street and carries with
it all the impurities which a wind can
take up for the heat of the furnace Is
sufficient to create adraught from with
out irrespective of the natural influx
to the heating chamber of the furnace.
There goes with the air drawn in the
dust and dirt the offal and garbage
-. md
have been pulverized, and a conglomera-
ton of germs which would stock a
laboratory This is all heated and then
carried through halls, living-rooms
parlors and bedrooms
The odors are amplified by the heat
to which their generators are subjected
and they disseminate in a measure quite
out of proportion to their Importance.
To the busy housewife this all comes
under the heading of coal gas" but
coal gas proper has nothing to do with
the case. A furnace cannot emit coal
gas in sufficient quantity to make the
odor perceptibie throughout the house,
and the heated air has really no direct
contact with the fire.
The furnace may be put at the tail
end of the line as sanitary heat pro-
Queer even though it may furnish a
comparatively uniform temperature. 1t
is responsible for ailments of many
kinds, and cannot compare with steam
heat or the good, old-fashioned stove.
The latter produces a good draught
from Within outwards, carrying away
impurities and regulating the change
in the air of rooms which is afforded by
ventilation.
To correct the odors which come
through the register, a piece of cheese
cloth over the pipe which carries the
air to the heating chamber of the fur
mace will act as sieve, leaving behind
the impure matters which heat might
develop into destructive agents
OF the other odoriferous agents con-
spicuous in winter, the most prominent
is desomposing soap in stationary ba-
sins and the waste pipes. 1t is the gen.
eral heat of the rooms which gives it a
prominence and facilitates decay. This
can be remedied by flushing the basins
and pipes with heated vinegar and hot
water. Sewer gas is odorlesS Do not
attribute anything which smells to this
insidious and deadly poison. Y.

seemed to think the man had something
to do with its predicament, for it never
stopped for an instant its attempt 10 reach
his face
Juan had twisted around till his side
ached and his neck was commencing to
swell under his unnatural position Sew
eral times he was tempted to put out his
hand and take hold Of the reptile, and
thereby be sure il would not strike him
But moments reflection convinced him
that his nerves were very weak and he
might miss the creature and get bitten on
the hand, which would produce death as
quickly as a bite on any other portion OF
his body. This would not do, and il really
was as hard to keep his hands away as
his face
The snake seemed tireless and snapped
and Kissed with fury. it curved itself as
much as it could, and then struck out
with such force that it seemed as if it
must lear its body in two. Juan could
see the viscid fluid squirt from its curved
faugs. and he looked down its parched
red Throat, from which the writhing
tongue protruded.
In time when the strain became very
great Juan felt his brain commence to
weaken, and it seemed to him as if that
awful head with the poisonous teeth and
swapping jaws had always been in front
OF nm ana always would De.
Several times a method of escape formed
itself In his mind, but always had to be
dismissed as impracticable. He thought
of mesmerizing the snake, and looked into
its eyes as hardfas he could, but always
gave IL up, as it seemed ms if tho snake
would be the one TO do the mcsmeriZing.
1t seemed as if the sun never moved, al
though to his mind he had been ages in
his awful position. He really had been
there less than half an hour, but it was
telling on him, and he felt that before the
other men came to his relief nc would be
insane or else have become weak and
given himself up to the snake, which was
still swapping its Jaws few inches from
his face There were few rocks few
inches from his hands, but he dared not
reach out lest the reptile bite. Juan was
becoming weaker every moment, and was
almost ready to give up when he heard a
growl to one side of him that had a most
perceptible effect on the snake.
Turning his head CAREFUL he saw a
large wild cat stretched out and looking
at both man and serpent as il uncertain
which to attack and get the meal which
was ready and waiting The cat was
long time making up his mind, but
finally got behind the snake and caused
the reptile the greatest uneasiness.
Gradually il came nearer and nearer, and
when the snake made an extra hard strike
at Juan, jumped for its head and with a
fierce, rapid action of his hind legs tore
its throat ont, killing it almost instantly.
Juan felt better in an instant and
reached out for q sharp stone that was
living few inches in front of him and that
he could not reach for fear Of being bit
ten He felt that he could stand a few
wounds, as long as they were not poison
Gus and certain of producing death. At
any rate he would die fighting if he had
to, which was a good deal better than go
ing out Of the world by the sting Of d
rattlesnake.
The wild cat was not long in making the
attack. lie jumped for Juan's throat,
