Burns, the 16-year-old son OF j. H.
Burns, of this place. has disappeared
and every effort of the Charles Mix

colt, named Dexter, and rode away,
saying that he was going to hunt work
Since that time he has not been heard
of and the parents are afraid that
there ha been some foul play as the
boy was very ambitious and determined
to attend school inc 1t was not at all
like him to neglect to communicate
with his parents, WHO are now adver-
tising widely to try to ind some trace
of him.
He is described as weighing 1876
pounds; five feet, seven inches in
height; black hair; large gray eyes;
long black lashes: round featured and
rather dark c~omplexioned. with a mole

Ozone Myths

Faith in the subtle and far reach
ind effects and the health-givlne
virtues which have at one time OF
another been attributed to ozone
| has somehow been instilled into the
popular mind. Seaside and noun
tain resorts alike have benefited by
the putation of ozone in the air
| in the neighborhoods involved. The
excusable longing Of an ever-alllng
population for a stimulating atmos-
Dhere and for an ideal antiseptic
has led many to look hopefully to-
ward that substance which appears
to represent the acme of the valu-
BILE properties of oxyg:n. The honest
manufacturer and the medicine IA
ker have both been alert to avail
themselves of the opportunity for
public service, so that ozoniZers
and 'ozonized" products are dis
played in abundance.
The ozone question presents its
fiction. Ozone undoubtedly has an
tiseptic power; but for such effectss
a dangerous concentration appears
to be necessary. Later it has be-
come possible to prepare pure ozone
and to investigate its physlologlc
properties. Prof. Leonard Hill and
DR.. Martin Flack of London find
that a concentration as little as
one per million is irritating to the
respiratory tract. Exposure for two
hours to a concentration of fifteen
10 twenty five per million is not
without a risk to life"
The concentration of oZene neces-
sary to kill bacilli would also kill
tissues in which they occur. There
is no harm in breathing weak con-
centrations of ozone. Ozone is
