During the excitement Of a physical

Within recent years the production
of alcohol in Germany has been stimu-
lated by beneficial legislation, whereby
for industrial purposes it is free CT
revenue duty, and the result has been
that in addition to an extensive use in
chemical and manufacturing processes
it is being increasingly employed for
small internal combustion motors. AL
cohol has been found particularly use
full for automobiles, and as the COM
bustion under full load is practically
complete, there are no offensive odors
as in the case of gasoline and naphtha.
Since gasoline has a higher heat of
combustion than alcohol in the ratio of
two to one, to perform the same work
a greater weight of the latter is re-
quired, but this is diminished by the
fact that with alcohol a greater amount
of heat is obtained in the form of
work. Consequently, it takes four
parts of alcohol by -Fcight to accom-
plish the same amount of work as three
parts of petroleum, and the question
resolves itself into one of cost, in Ger.
many this being in favor of alcohol
Furthermore, the question has to be
considered in European countries such
as Germany, that petroleum is a for
eign product, while alcohol is produced
from the extensive fields Of potatoes
which are universally cultivated
throughout the empire. = Harper's

NJ J. LIFE SAVER DROWNED
MisdirssSed Zeal Causes Tragedy ct
Atlantic City.
Fathers Seine Life Lime and Pull Him TO
Shore, Dragging Him Under no
Water Which Fills His Lungs.

Atlantic City, n. ALFRED Davis, a
geteran of the Life Saving Service,
was drowned in The surf here through
the ill-adyised effort Of a large crowd
Of bathers to aid him. Davis was him.
self endeavoring to rescue two men
who were being swept to sea, when,
through the efforts Of the crowd, he
lost his own life.
The first Of the two men to endanger
himself was James R0wley, a clerk in
the st. Charles Hotel. He is a good
swimmer and ventured out beyond
a sand bar which has recently been
thrown up by the sea, and between
which and the shore the more timOrous
bathers fild it pleasurable to linger.
When he had reached a point about on
a line with the end of a long pier near
by, he was caught in a powerful eddy,
and was being rapidly carried away
from the shore. In response to his
cries for help Life Guard George B.
Conover had gone to his rescue.
Conover, realizing that the line at
tached to the life buoy was not long
CIiOuSh w 1CdNA
it. He then ran with the buoy across
the sandbar and plunged into the surf
with it. He was Don alongside of
Rowley, and there began what ap-
peared to the bathers and others on
the shore a hopeless struggle On the
part of ConOyer to get Rowley in.
Soon it was feared that both men
would lose their lives.
Davis took a hand in the struggle
Mt this j%uncture. He cut loose the
life line entirely, tied one end of it
under his arms, and sprang in, deter
mined to aid his fellow-guard and the
man whom he vas ~endeavoring to
save. Before he reached the two
men, however, a boat manned with
life guards had reached and
saved ROwley and Conover.
AS Davis was about to turn back,
either because it was supposed that he
was now himself in danger, or merely
prompted by a desire to get him to
shore more quickly, some one grabbed
the end of the line which was still
floating between the sandbar and the
shore and started to run toward the
beach with it. In another minute Il
horde of men and women bathers had
hold of the rope and were Fastening
shoreward. Davis was dra WI in so
rapidly that he was rendered helpless,
and his body was under water much
of the time.
AS he was dragged upon the beach
a cheer went up from the crowd.
Those who had helped pull him in, as
well as the o%nlookers, thought that a
splendid rescue had been achieved.
They were soon undeceived. Davis was
motionless. Efforts to revive him
failed. The speed with which he had
been drawn through the water bad
forced the water into his lungs and
through his mouth and nostrils with
such force as to choke him.

That is the problem which frequently
confronts everyone-especially parents
with small children. A slight Illness
treated at once often saves a long
period of sickness and expense-some-
times prevents death. The trouble is
that so few people can think on the in
slant what treatment to apply, even If
they have the knowledge necessary to
recognize the disease and know what
simple remedies are best. To meet t Is
want at small expense the Book Pub

KILLED IN
Fatal Blast Sweeps Grove in Which
Picnic is Held.


Jamestown, N. Y. Chautauoua
County was swept by a tornado, leav-
ing death and destruction in its path.
Parkhurst's Grove, where the Stock
ton town picnic was being held, was
directly in the path of the storm. Five
thousand people were on the grounds
when the storm came and four were
killed and several were injured.
The storm came up suddenly. Trees
in the grove were struck by lightning,
many of them were blown down, and
the rain fell in torrents. The people
who took refuge under the trees were
caught by the falling branches and
either killed or injured. Many horses
were killed in the same amer. Some
of the animals stampeded, trampling
upon the injured people who were
lying ON the ground.
The buildings in the vicinity were
blown down and others unrooofed.
Hundreds of forest and fruit trees
were blown down and corn and oats
fields were laid waste, entailing a loss
of thousands of dollars.
At the assembly grounds at Chautau-
qua many trees were uprooted and a
portion of the fence around the grounds
was demolished. The mems clubhouse
was badly damaged.
