Journey to market, of his meeting

Firemen Overcome By The Smoke In
 New Haven Blaze

New Haven. Oct. 25-Assistant Chief Patrick Redmond was sent to the New Haven hospital and several other firemen were severely affected by the inhaling of smoke in fighting the fire which broke out from unknown origin, last night, in the cellar of the building formerly occupied by the Union Trust Company, at the corner of Orange and Chapel streets. The flames were con- fined to the cellar, but the smoke did considerable damage to the stock in the stores of J. H. Edgerley on the corner and that of Seligman Loeb, which is adjoining. The dense smoke from the flames forced the firemen to work so circufnspectly that it was over an hour before the fire was com pletely extinguished.
 It looked from the start as though the firen1en might have trouble in fighting the fire, and time and time again they were forced back by the suffocating smoke. Several of the
 men, however, broke open the cellar window on Orange street and entered ther4 dragging a line of hose with them Among those leading these Captain Barrows of Company No. 12, and Captain Goebel of Company No. T. Redmond was the first to succumb to the smoke, as he had been espe- cially daring in exploring the smoke
 filled cellar. He was dragged out by
 his companions and was sent off sto
 the office of Dr. Lindsley in the fire

 Captain Barrows and Captain Goe-
 bel were also temporarily knocked
 out' by the smoke but were brought
 around with restoratives. Several
 other firemen were also treated in the
 same way.

THE ALLEGED HYGIENIC
 VALUE OF OZONE.


 There is no doubt that ozone is an effective sterilizins agent when added to water containing little organic mat ter, or that its use appeals to the pop ular prejudice in favor of a substance that leaves behind it no foreign chemical residue in the water treat ed. At present, however, the con- trolling factor in the installation of an ozoning plant is it's relative cost com pared with other equally effective methods of water purfication.
 Attempts are now being made to extend the hygienic-and the commer- cial-uses of ozone still further. In some directions these attempts are not justified by any evidence at hand. As a gaseous disinfectant Of rooms and apartments ozone has never been wide ly employed, although a few exper1- n1ents have seemed to indicate that it might be used for this purpose. 1t must be remembered that the ordin- ary method of production of ozone by electrical discharges at high tension that the ozone is mixed with other gases, especially hydrogen peroxide and the ovids of nitrogen. Since these gases possess germicidal power and since the actual amolnt of ozone itself tta is produced undoubtedly varies
 
 under different conditions and is not readily and accurately determinable, it is difficult to carry out conclusive experiments.
 In view Of this uncertainty regard ing the more easily measurable eff fects of ozone it behooves us to look conservatively oh the claims some times made for ozone as substance which, inhaled in small quantities, is beneficial to health. The recorded ev- idence on which such a claim is based is extremely slender, according to The Journal fthe American Medical As- sociation. Indeed, there is reason for believing that when the percentage of ozone in the air goes beyond a cer- tain point, not only irritation of the respiratory tract is produced, but al- SO other injurious effects.
 Such facts justify hesitation in de- ciding on the installation of those 'orms of ozone-g generating apparatus recommended for purifying the air" There seems to be no doubt that dis agreeable edors may be destroyed or centralized by the gases formed by uch machines, but one may be all owed to be skeptical as to the ''ster- lizing' of the air through their ac- ;on. Certainly the benefits to health be expected from the inhalation of

But the monopoly insisted on mixing them.
 One must admire a mind so agile as MT. Warmers
 How cleverly has the scandal in the office of the city engineer been seiz- ed to enable Mir Warmers corporate friends to take official control of the municipal highways!
 To recapitulate, the Fundamental purposes disclosed by the ''policies" are:

To get control of the city streets through single officer, who will be both city engineer and direc- tor of public works, who will be brought in from outside, and who will be the obedient servant of gas, water, electric light and railroads. Otherwise the policies contain a Irritation with Commission govern ment, which is intended to soothe the business men and get them to endure regime of high prices for water, gas and electricity for while longer.

5. Your home merchants help

rect taxation, your schools,
