HOW GAS AsPHyxIATEs

| New York Times: The marked in
crease in deaths from gas poisoning
during the present winter over the nor
NAL average is attributed to the ex-
| IRENE cold. The moisture in service
pipes freezes, partly or completely clos
ing them. This makes especially dam
gerous the custom OF sleeping in ILL.,
| Ventilated rooms In which the gas Is
left burning with a flame so small that
a partial interruption of the flow will
extinguish it. II after such extinguish-
ment the flow is resumed and the gas
| escapes into the air. those who breathe
it are likely to suffer serious con-
sequences.
Fatalities from breathing gas are
usually attributed to asphyxiation. This
is correct IL the word is used in its
original meaning of cessation OF heart
action, but it is not at all correct II
used to indicate death from suffocation
as in drowning or from immersion in
carbonic acid. Gas asphyxiation is due
10 the action of an extremely energetic
blood poison, carbon monoxide, which
constitutes from 80 to 40 per cent of the
water gas now distributed in New York
and most American seaboard cities.
This is a matter which should be we'll
understood by everybody using water
gas for light or heat, and a plain state
lnent of facts as to the phenomena of
gas poisoning should be of general pub
He interest.

Carbon monoXide represented by the

containing as little as four-tenths of
per cent after sufficient exposure. will
always cause death in man, and that

or Irritating properties. which makes 1t
the more dangerous. The first symp-
toms of carbon lnonoxide poisoning are
dizziness, Shortness of breath and heart
palpitation. Sometimes there is a
| drowsiness similar to that produced by
alcohol. When more of the gas has
been absorbed there is a failure of
muscular power, and the mind becomes
confused. The loss of muscular and
| sensory power gradually becomes more
and more complete until death enSueS.
\ There is no pain serious discomfort,
and commonly no consciousness OF dan

| The haemoglobin or red coloring mat

the air and carries it with the circula-

about four hundred times the affinity
of oxygen. Hence it is absorbed by II

TO ENFORCE DRY LAW

Pittsburg, Kan, Dec. 6.-After years
of open violation of the state prohibit
tory law, this city is now as dry as
the proverbial bone, and now the state
officials are attempting to secure the
enforcement Of the law across the
state line in Missouri. Pittsburg is
near the border between the two states
and the thirsty citizens make frequent
trips to Minden Mines, Mo, only a
few miles away, to allay the dry feel
ing in their Threats. Minden Mines Is
in Barton county, Missouri, which is
supposed to be dry" under the local
option law, and the Kansas officials
have called upon those of Missouri TO
enforce the law.
Until recently scores of saloons
were conducted openly in Pittsburg
and the mining towns in the vicinity,
the authorities of the city and county
interfering only to collect monthly
fines" which were used for the sup
port of the municipal and county gov,
ernments.

MAY CANCEL RUSSIAN TREATY

Washington, Dec. 6.-While seeking
to preserve courteous diplomatic rels-
tons with the United States, officials
: of the Russian state department are
apparently firm in their determination
to continue to refuse to honor pass
ports of Jewish citizens of this coun-
try. President Taft, although in thor
ough sympathy with the Hebrews in
their demand for an abrogation of the
treaty-a demand which will find in.
fluential expression at national mass
meeting in New York tonight-prefers
to let congress deal with the matter
While the president has authority to
terminate the convention, there is a
long line of precedents against such
action on the part of the chief exec
utiye.
The Russian state department has
notified the American government,
through the embassy at st. Petersburg,
that the United States by its own spe-
cial immigration laws has precluded
the raising of such a question, for it
excludes Mongolians and Tartars, VINO
form a large and law-abiding portion
Of the population of the Russian EN-.
pire. 1t is therefore inconsistent for
the United States to raise any ques-
ton about any race which Russia NAV
choose to exclude for her own inter
ests. 1t is sarcastically suggested that
when this country lifts the ban on
Asiatic Russians, the empire Of the
car will admit American Jews.
The Russian department of the in
terror has entirely ignored the Ameri-
can protest, taking the attitude that
the communications on this subject
are not worth answering and refusing
to engage in any controversy.

to the energy and ambition of DR..
John Allan Wyeth. Thirty.fve years
ago DIR. Wyeth, now one OF the leading
physicians OF New York, graduated
from the Louisville (Ky) Medical
School and started to practice In a
small town in Alabama. He was dis.
satisfied with the medical education
he had received, and the responsible
ity of human life weighed upon him.
In his mind a great idea had its incep-
tion-the idea of a hospital where
young doctors from all over the world
could study and work under the direc-
ton of the best specialists and fit
themselves perfectly for their life
work. The Polytechnic first became a
reality in an old building in Eas,

DR.. John Allan Wyeth, the guiding
spirit and founder of theg reat insti-
tuition, was born in Marshall county,
Alabama, in 1915. He was a private
in the Confederate army, and for f.
teen months was held prisoner at
Camp Morton, Ind. After the war he
went to Louisville and took up the
study Of medicine. After practicing
for a time in Alabama he started in
business to make money to prosecute
his great idea Of a school for doctors.
He went to New York in 1873, joining
the staff of Mount Sinai Hospital, and
IN 1881 he succeeded in establishing
the Polytechnic school and hospital, the
first postgraduate medical college IN
the United States. He has received
honorary degrees from the state I'M
versities of Alabama and Maryland.
