Table WATERS
OF GOOD VALUE
West Virginia Takes High
Rank in Quantity and
Quality.

I An item that fast is becoming OF
i importance in the mineral production
OF the United States Is the annual
output of mineral waters that HAYS
medicinal properties, or that are used
as beverage. Although mineral
| springs are found all over the coun-
try, those Of the sixteen southern
states, for which figures are compiler
by the Manufacturers Record, fur
inIsh one-ffth of the entire production
in point Of value and quantity.
(! In the ten years from 1900 to 1910
the sales OF mineral waters increased
about 1s,4O0,OOO gallons or about
thirty-seven per cent. The year 1911
shows a still greater proportionate
increase, and it means probably that
the consumption will continue to grow
steadily from now on.
These waters are used chiefly as
table beverages. although in some
cases they are used as medicine be
cause of the minerals they contain:
The increase of population and the
building up of many suburbs, coupled
with the poor sewerage systems used
in many cities of the country. have
created a demand for pure drinking
water, because in many cases, tho
municipal water supply is drawn
from streams that are polluted by the
filth of the many communities lying
along their banks.
The social life OF sixty years ago If
the South usually included an annual
trip to the springs. While it is NO
longer a social observance, the cus%
" tom has been continued, and has in
creased remarkably, as many physt-
clans prescribe these trips for theif
patients. The attendance at the var
fous southern springs has~increased
about fifty per cent since 1900.
West Virginia, with its numerous
4 sulphur springs in the mountainous
parts of the state, ranks seventh
( among the southern states in the
value of her output in 1910. In that
year, 1896, 444 gallons we're sold, their
total value amounting to the sum OF
SS1.742. AS several of these springs
are located near Clarksburg, the in
dustry is of local interest and some
of the money received for tEis product
of nature flows in local channels, add
ing to the, wealth of this locality
About the principal spring in this
state is White sulphur, which, dur
ing the last year, gained considerable
prominence all over the United
states, and gives promise of becoming
as popular as some of the old springs
which are better known at the present
time Berkeley. Webster, Red Sulphur
and other springs through this state
are also being visited by many; and
the next few years will probably see
them the most important of the en-
tire country.

The popularity of Irish place
names may possibly have had some
thing to do with the sanguinariness
of some accounts of Irish elections
in bygone times. The frequently
occurring prefix "KiP-meaning

PNEUMONIA.
The Importance of Fresh Air In
Treating This Disease.

In talking of pneumonia TO peo-
pie in general it is necessary to say
and repeat many times that pnen-
monia is not a bad cold run mad,
for this conviction appears to be in
vircibly lodged in the lay mind.
Pneumonia is first, last and all
The time an acute local disease Of
the lungs. which, according to the
gravity of the case, become more or
less consolidated or choked up. The
more of the lung tissue that is thus
choked the less the lungs are able
to breathe. The first consequence
of this helplessness on the part Of
the lungs is that the heart-that
gallant organ-labors to get enough
blood to keep things going, and this
is why we see the distressing rapid
and shallow breathing so character
istic of the disease.
With all the heart can do it can
only pump blood; it cannot Oxy-
genate it-that is the function of
the lungs. Presently, therefore.
the blood stream. becomes more and
more impure, owing to lack of oxy-
gen, and in those cases ending in
death one of two things happens
either the heart gives out entirely,
unable to stand the strain put upon
it, or else the system is overcome by
toxins-that is to say, by the impu-
rity induced by the lack of oxygena-
ton.
1t has long been recognized that
what the pneumonia patient needs
is oxygen, and we arc now sure
that this is best supplied by a direct
current of fresh air from outside
and that this fresh air should be
the basis of all treatment from the
very beginning.
Too often has life been lost by a
failure to recognize this truth or by
a belief that rushing in canned oxy-
gen at the last moment would eff
feet a cure. There is less pneumo-
MIA among country jewellers than
among city people. There is less
pneumonia among people who venti-
late well than among the stuffy.
And there is less pneumonia in the
summer than in the winter, because
in the summer there is free circula-
ton of air through all our houses,
The ideal treatment of pneumonia
is to carry the patient into the open
air and keep him there with proper
precautions against wind and
weather. But as this cannot always
be done the patient can at least be
placed in the largest, ~sunniest and
best ventilated room in the house.
If possible a room with windows
on two sides is much to be preferred
TO one which can be opened only to
one point of the compass. BY a
system of screening it can always
be managed that a direct current Of
very cold air shall not blow right
on the bed, but the air of the room
should be constantly renewed and
always cool.
Of all "cranks" the "fresh air
crank" is the sanest, and his re-
ward in the pneumonia sickroom is
a rich one.-Youth's Companion.

Good feeling prevailed all day

both sides felt confident of win

to go way back and sit down.
a howl goes up and the dirt begins
to fly. To take defeat gracefully

finest marks of a gentleman and
would also go far to show that
personal feeling does not enter
