Recently at Lewisham, England, an
inquest was held on the body of Sidney
Harry Smith, aged IL years. He was
playing with roller towel and placed
his head through it. In some way he
must have got the towel twisted, for
when the servant found him five min
utes afterward he was dead. A physi-
clan said death was due not to strangu-
lation, but to the fright caused by the
lad finding he could not get his head
loose.

during the recent Swiss military ma

finish than their more abstemious
