Lineman Meets Instant Death in Reno

E. E. Carney, lineman in the EN-
ploye of the Reno power company, was
electrocuted at o'clock Thursday
afternoon, while at work on pole at
the corner of Morrill, avenue and Fourth
street. An accidental grasp on a wire
carrying 1000 volts shocked out the life
of the unfortunate man. Carney and IL
fellow lineman named Murray were
working together. Murray being at the
side of his companion. Suddenly
Carney cried out. Murray turned in
time to see his limp body fall across the
feed wire. In some unaccountable
manner Carney had taken hold of two
wires. A circuit formed and 1000 volts
passed through his body. Spectators of
the accident Immediately telephoned
and had the power shut off. Carney's
safety-belt prevented his falling to the
ground, and his body was lowered by
means of ropes. Carney was a former
resident of Carson and was captain iii
the first battalion at Carson when it
was mustered out in 1893.

Bread and Microbes.

From experiments made by M. Rous-
sci in Paris it appears that only the
crust Of bread is submitted to a suf-
ficiently high temperature to kill all
the bacteria which the loaf may con-
tain. The inside of the loaf may there
fore be contaminated by the microbes
from a consumptive baker or conveyed
in the water, as Is the case with ty-
phoid fever and cholera. Professor
Metchnikoff was asked his opinion
whether bread could not be source of
danger, and his answer was as fol
lows: Il don't think so. The tempera-
ture to which the inside of loaf is
submitted generally exceeds 40 de-
grees Il. AT this temperature many
| microbes are killed-those of tubercu-
loSis, for instance-but there are much
harder germs, such as those of ANTHRAX
the germs of which are only killed al
over 224 degrees f. But anthrax is
| rare, and it is hardly likely that a bak
er attacked by this terrible malady
would continue to work once the dis
| ease had declared ITSELF Professor
| Metchnikoff advises, however, thai
| only bread which is well baked, anG
therefore not crumbly, should be eaten

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard Of this
terrible disease? 1t prevails in that
far-away county-Africa- especially
the Congo district. 1t is caused by
the bite of the tsetse fly. When it
bites person. the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
What else? Short Of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any
| thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent It? Mr.. George Hayes. OF
Union City, Pa, writes: II had lost
my appetite, was all rundown, could
not sleep nights. I had tried every
thing without relief. Vinol was REQ
commended, and to my surprise, Il
helped me at once; gave me a splendid
appetite, and now sleep soundly."
What Vinol did for Mr.. Hayes, 1t will
do for every rundown, nervous and
ovsrworked person who cannot sleep.
