OPEN THE DRAFTS
Warming Against AsphyxiatiOn
From Gas Fumes.
Manager Treleaven Gives Ad-
vice to His Patrons.
DO NOT OPEN VALVES.
Always Danger of Furnace or
Stove Overheating.
Pressure at Night Not as High
as Normal in Day.

If you do not wish to wake up in the
morning gasping for breath. your nos
trils filed with gas fumes and a weak
ness throughout your body-in other
words. If you wish to remain on this
earth instead of in it-then don't fail
to open the hampers in your furnace
chimney at night.
The large number of near asphyxia-
tons from the fumes Of natural gas re-
ported in Topeka the last two weeks
has brought forth warning from
Mana ger TreIeaven of the gas com
paEy.
Manager Treleaven states that closed
chimney drafts and wide open gas
valves are the cause OF so many near
deaths in Topeka homes. II the gas
valves are opened only as they Woul9
be under normal pressure or II tne
drafts were opened consumers Woulu
have no trouble with fumes
The gas company manager says IL -
impossible Tor gas fumes or the gas
itself to escape from a furnace OF stoN0
Under proper regulating conditions
The stories that the pressure comes
up beyond the normal at night and oN-
erheats gas stoves and furnaces are
unfOunde1, he says Mr.. IreieaVen UOS7
not deny that stoves and furnaces pc
come OVerheated but he has proOL7
that the pressure at its best IN the
night time is no stronger than UNDER
normal conditions in the day time Reg
uIating valves at the mains IN IOpeAd
do not allow an abnormal pressure
1.-The trouble lies in the fact that con
SunnerS keep their drafts closed Salo Nj
TreIeaven. 1.-The fumes from the gas at
night can find no way to get Up the CHM
ney and naturally they escape ana spreau
over the house. It is a mistaken idea that
the gas itself spreads throughout a mouse
when there is a fire in the furnace Inc
gas burns. The fumes-the volume OF tne
product of combustion, that escapes IN
the house.
IF a person would turn out his gas
Then turn it on again without lighting II
and leave open the drafts, the gas would
90 I'D the chimney and would never escape
In the house. AS long as there IS
circulation for the gas to go up the CHM
ney there is no need for worry
IA consumer could fill his furnace with
gas then open the drafts and in very
few minutes he could throw a match IN
the fire box and there wouldn't be a Dit
Of gas to burn.

DEEDMEN TO MEET
Annual Gathering in Manhattan Calls
Two Local Officials.

The annual meetings of the Kansas
registers of deeds, county clerks and
county commissioners, will be held
this week in Manhattan and Shawnee
county will be represented at all of

HELPING SOUP LINE
Many People Contribute to Keep 1t
Going.

Contributions of vegetables and other
necessaries are being added to the
soup fund at the police station with
regularity. The business men Of the
city realize the effectiveness of the
soup line in relieving the suffering in
Topeka and understand, that with cash
donations, that they can assist by Of
fering vegetables or meats
In obtaining these donations and US
ing the money that has been received
judiciously, Mrs. D. Sare believes that
it will be possible to maintain the soup
line without any cost to the cityunt1l
the weaEher moderates sufficiently to
permit the spring work to be opened
that the men of the city, who are out of
employment, might go to work and
earn sufficient money to support their
families or at least aid in the support
until spring arrives when everything
will open lip and everybody Will be
given a chance to go to work.
A crate of cabbage containing at least
100 pounds and a basket of carrots was
received this morning from Byron
Willcutts to be used by the matron.
r. F. Nash, who lives north of the
city on the Rochester road, has dona-
ted a bushel of potatoes and a bushel
of onions. Fred Kraus. of North To
peka, has donated a gallon of sorgum
mOlasses. Fraser Brothers have ofLer-
ed a quantity of vegetables and the
Anderson Commission company mas Of
fered a wagon load OF bananas.
distributed throughout the city to the
destitute families that they might en-
10Y a few of the luxuries of life even
at this time of the year.
Similar donations have been receiv-
ed from time to time which reduced
the cost of maintaining the soup line
considerably. More than rs loaves OF
bread and a quantity of crackers were
consumed yesterday and all this was
received from the business men Of the
city.
When considering that there are no
city funds available at present to main,
tain the soup line, it must be admitted
that the business men Of the city ana
others who have made donations OF
clothing or money or anything else, are
doing a noble deed and showing a pat
riotic spirit in assisting in the work
of relieving the suffering throughout
the city.
Mrs. D. sare. the police matron, does
NOT solicit these donations and every
thing that is received is donated
through the good win of the donor but
even ait that she is entitled to the sup
port that is being accorded her and the
destitute people OF the city surely ap-
nreciate the efforts of every person
who has taken a part in the work

BURN ONE A DAY
Trying to Keep Warm Proves Danger
Gus Occupation.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 16.-People are
being burned to death in Allegheny
county today at the rate of more than
one person a day. In less than 5 days
of this month 1 6 persons have met
their death by their clothing becoming
ignited at open gas CRATES The re-
port of these deaths have caused Cor
oner Samuel c. Jamison to issue a
warning to the people of Pittsburg to
protect themselves by the use of fen
ders.
3anuary's tally breaks all records in
the coroner's office for deaths by
burning and indicates the dangers of
strenuous efforts being made to keep
warm during the severely cold
weather.

To Restore Lustre

'It requires no great effort TO have

MILITANT ENGLISH SUFFRAGIST
 FORCIBLY FED FOR A DAYS

London, Oct 12.-The question whether the suffragists in prison in Ireland should be allowed to commit suicide by the hunger strike was an- swered in dramatic fashion.
 Mrs. May Leigh, one of the two English sutfragists sentenced to five years penal seryitude for attempted arson at the Theater Royal, Dublin, on the occasion of MT. Asquith's visit, was released from Mountjoy prison in state of physical collapse.
 She has been forcibly fed for forty four days. and during the last few days alarming changes occurred in her health.
 Sir Christopher Nixon and Sir Thomas Myles were called to the pris- on to examine her.
 Soon after, on their advice, she was conveyed to a private hosiptal.
 The effect on her health is attribut. ed not to the forcible feeding, but te deliberate starvation, as she has ac. quired knack of ejecting her food as soon as administered. The other pris-

moment in his loyalty to her.
 On the night of the tragedy she says there had been words between her husband and herself Not quar- rel but sufficient unpleasantness to cause her to hide in the garden at the back of their house for two hours
 She did this, she says, to see if her absence would cause her husband any concern, whose love she was begin ming to doubt. #
 Mrs. Raymond, at that time, had been married about a year. She was about to become mother It is likely this fact will be used by the defense to account for her hiding in the garden.
 Another point the defense will raise is the fact that the Hackett and Ray mOnd homes were two miles apart at the time of the murder. Also that a long, steep hill intervened between the two homes. The contention will be
  impossibility for Mrs. Raymond, in her condition to have walked to the Hackett home within half hour, which she would have had to do, since the murder was committed between 8:1O and S:3O and she was at her home, htalking with her husband as late as 7:45.
 So far as the foot print is concern ed, it does not tally perfectly with Mrs. Raymond's shoe. 1t is likely therefore that this bit of evidence will be valueless.,
 Bat all speculation over this most horrible of crimes will cease, for the time being, at least, on Tuesday morn ing. . All the narrowing details of the death fthe halpless Hattie Hackett will be gone overp again. And if Mrs. Raymond leaves the court room ac- quilted, that speculation will break out anew. But the good people of Maine will grow weary of spsca,A over the grossest crime that ever stained the escutcheon of the State, and the garroting of Matte Mackett which, from time to time, break out in the most peaceful communities of the country.

MURDER MYSTERY SOLVED BY
 YOUNG WIPES CONFESSION

Berlin Oct. 12.-The Posen mystery has been solved by the confession of pr. Blume's wife. She admits that she shot her husband in a moment of excitement
 The actual cause of the crime seems to nave been written acknowledg- ment of guilty relationship with Dr. Blume obtained from his wifes lover, and by which the woman was rendered desperate
 Dr. Erich Blume, an archaeological expert at the Kaiser Frederick Mu- scum at Posen, was found shot in a wood near Pesen on September 10. It was supposed at the time that his death was due to an accident.
 Certain Investigations made by the police cast suspicion on Frau Blume of being in some degree responsible for the tragedy ,and she was arrested on Wednesday.
 The couple were married six months ago. but requent quarrels occurred recently, due, it is said, to Dr. Blumes absorbing interest in his professional work.
 After her arrest Frau Blume, who is only twenty years old, told the po lice that she and her husband were about to take a journey from sur burban railway station at Posen, and as they strolled through forest. She eXressed alarm on hearing a suspic- ious noise, and her husband exhibited revolver, which afterwards explod- ed accidentally. killing him instantly.
 Dr. Blume had been shot through the chin, the bullets penetrating up- wards into the brain, and experts de- tlared that the wound was of such nature that it could not have been inflicted by accident.

 Immediately the change appeared, the people began to complain of Pe- 'ru- -nf. They generally thought the druggist was to blame, that their bot tie of Pe-ru-na had been tempered with. This made bad feelings between the users of Pe-runa and the drug gists. The druggists in some eases re- came irritated and angered and made complaint to the wholesalers and man. ufacturers. Thus the trade was teins porarily i'll an uproar.
 After a year of explanation the trade quieted down and the new Pe-ru-ila took it's place in the drug stores as popular household remedy. Ailt! Yet II has not attained the popularity that the other Pe-runa had. Changing the formula Of Pe-ra-nsl was equivalent to I Nt'N drug trade, an extremely difficult thing to do W-a-dayS.

CTRE MEAT IN FEW MINUTES
 BY NEW PROCESS

Lcndon, Oct. 12.-Beneath the stain ed glass windows of the Memorial Hall library yesterday evening, a stand had been erected, on which, when a reporter called, there reposed a pigs head. slab of silverside beef, a leg of mutton and various other very dead joints.
 The occasion was demonstration of the Curry-Harbort system of cur ing and salting meat, and the men at the marrow bones and cleavers had gathered in force. @
 The chief claim of the process, as outlined by the demonstrator, is that all kinds of meats can be salted and cured by it in few minutes and made ready for use.
 Briefly the process consists in pumping the brine through the natu- ral channels of the flesh, the veins and arteries, by means of a special forcing pump which will not pump air. The nozzle of the pump is es- pecially shaped, like needle which can be readily inserted in the various veins and arteries.
 By the Curry-Herbert method of curing, the inventors claim that the meat treated is evenly and thorough ly salted. Only few minutes work on each joint is necessary, and inn mediately it is finished the meat may be cooked and served.
