Surgeon Generals Precautions.
In connection with the report that vel
low fever had appeared at Franklin, La,
Surgeon General Wymen of the marine hos
pital service said today that as soon as the
report reached him he FASTENED two marine
corps surgeons to the place to make an
examination and report. They found that
one person had died from a fever and had
been buried.
From the history of the case they were
inclined to the belief that it was genuine
yellow fever. They were unable to make
an examination, however and therefore are
unable to speak positively.
DR., Wyman has given them instructions
to remain at Franklin to keep close watch
and take prompt measures to quarantine
there now and no fear is expressed here
that the disease will become epidemic, even
should the first case have been a genuine
yellow fever one.

OZONE IN CLEAN CLOTHES.
Simple Method of Freshcning the Air
of a Sickroom.
ITO be Continued.)

Simple Method of Freshcning the Air
of a Sickroom.
Almost everyone has noticed the pc
culiarly refreshing smell of clean lin
en-, especially when just taken from the
lines and brought indoors. 1t is not so
generally known how valuable is the
connection between this cool and
grateful odor and the ozone which is
so necessary in sickroom. The Lon
don Lancet, standard medical author
ity contains an article on this sub
ject, in which it is stated that the at
mosphere of an apartment may be
charged with ozone by bringing into
it damp linen sheets that have just
been exposed to a dry sharp wind.
Bringing them into the house and
shaking them or waving them about in
the air of the room will, according to
the statements made, change the char
acter of the air. This is a matter Of
Importance to invalids, who often be-
come exhausted from lack of ozone in
the air they breathe. A means so sim
pie and effective and one that is within
the reach of every person should be
generally understood. 1t seems that
all that is necessary is to bring the lin
en- to the room Immediately after it is
taken from the lines out of doors and
shake and whirl it about, when the
character of the air will be altered at
once. Hospital attendants oftentimes
remark how readily patient will drop
into a quiet sleep after bed linen has
been renewed. The cause is doubtless
to be found in the ozone released from
the sheets newly washed and aired.
