SAVES
AT DEATHS DOOR
Gas Company Offers Apparatus to
Hospitals for Emer-
gency Use.

The success OF the pulmotor, a device
for the resuscitation OF persons threat
ened with asphyxistion, was again dem
onstrated yesterday, when g. Gross, an
employe OF the Washington Gaslight
Company, was resuscItated through its
use after he had been overcome while
repairing a leak at the east station OF
the company, Twelfth and NJ streets
southeast. As soon as Gross was discov-
cred lying in a trench and overcome by
gas. one OF three pulmotors recently pur-
chased by the company was placed in
operation. Within seven eminutes Gross
was resuscitated.
The pulmotor was introduced into this
country recently by DR.. Joseph A.
Holmes, director of the Bureau OF Mines.
The bureau has two of the pulmotors
installed on each OF its seven rescue cars
and at each of its five stations. Since
the apparatus has been in use fully TWEEN
ty-five persons have been resuscitated by
use OF IL. AS long as there Is spark
left in a human body, the apparatus will
restore life. The apparatus Is oxygen re-
vivlng. The pulmotOr forces oxygen into
the lungs through one pipe and draws
out the poisonous Gas through another
one. This causes a regular imitation and
defation Of the lungs. giving the normal
motion TO the diaphragm.
The gas company has purchased three
OF the pulmotors. One is stationed at the
main office. In Tenth street: one is To-
Gated at the east station. and the third
is at the west station. Twenty-siXth and
G streets northwest. Joseph Letter. pres
ident OF the company, announced yester-
day that he would be glad to lend the
apparatus to the local hospitals in emer-
gency cases. II is likely that the hos
pitfalls will purchaze apparatus before
long. The gas company is contemplating
purchasing several more pulmotors.

sane Asylum Attendants.
Yesterday afternoon Houdini for the
first time in the history of his career
accepted and defeated a challenge of un-
usual and remarkable demands. local
awning and sail making firm challenged
him the early part OF the week that they
could make bags out OF which he could
not escape. Three men OF this firm
brought two burlap bags and sash cord
They also brought cord soaked in rosin
and tar. They bound his hands behind
his back. Then they placed him In one
sack. tied It at the head, and then placed
the second sack over his head. Two Of
the men held the ends OF the rope.
II took them nine minutes to do the
work Of securing him, and in six minutes
and a quarter Houdini appeared and
showed the audience the double bags.
Last night HOudini was bound by in
sane asylum attendants with wet sheets
TO a bed. They first bound his hands
to his sides with wet bandages; then they
rolled him In wet sheets in mummy fash
ion. and finally bound him with linen
bandages to a regulation insane hospital
bed. II took twenty minutes TO bind
him, and in twenty-slx minutes Houdini
was free. The remarkable part of this
marvellous feat was the fact that he did
the work in full view OF the audience.

MARKET SAGGED
AND DRAGGED
Not a Feature in Days Run
Dull and Perfunctory
Session.

New York, May 21.-Settlement of
the hard coal strike Saturday and an
other advance in the price of copper
metal We're almost the only develop
ments of more than passing import
ance connected with today's dull and
p%erfunctory session on the stock en-
change.
Copper shares derived little benefit
from the further rise in the metal and
standard shares as a whole We're an
der mole or less restraint throughout
the day. In fact selling pressure was
obvious in United States Steel, Union
Pacific and Canadian Pacific. the lat
ter being again offered in this market
by foreign interests.
incidentally there was a recrudes-
ence of activity at higher prices in
United States rubber. international
Harvester, Sears-ioebuck, Colorado
fuel, American Car and Foundry,
American Ice and other stocks of sup
posed pool origin.
Business fell away to minor pro-
portions during the afternoon with an
increasingly heavy undertone. Wab-
ash issue again manifested a a
tionary tendency.
Prices touched the lowest of the
day in the last hour at which time Le-
high Valley relinquiYhcd all its adj
vantage and other active shares were
selling at net losses, some of these en-
tending to Il point or more. The clos
ing was dull and heavy.
A note of moderate optimism was
sounded by the traffic officials of the
western railroads, who We're unani-
nous in their statement of increasing
activity in hat section. This was not
t ODE reconciled. however, with figures
showing declining traffic for the first
fortnight of the current month, much
of which vas due to a decrease in
grain shipments. There We're indica-
tions of heavier and more urgent
specifications in structural steel and
rehabilitation of various industrial en-
terDrises.
London took little interest in af-
fairs here, judging from the volume
of its dealings. which consisted of sales
of a few thousand shares of steel and
Canadian Pacific.
Money rates contracted abroad and
discounts We're 1irlncr.
Bonds We're easy, tending towards
further irregularity.
Total sales par value amounted to
S~2.945,000.
U. S. government bonds unchanged

NO Indigestion
OR SICK STOMACH
Indigestion, Gas, Sourness or
Dyspepsia Goes in Five
Minutes

If what you just ate is souring on
Your stomach or lies like a lump of
lead, refusing to digest. or you belch
Gas and Eructate sour. undigested
food, or have a feeling of Dizziness.
Heartbuln. Fullness. Nausea. Bad
taste in mouth n stomach headache
this is Indigestion.
a full case of Pape's Diapepsin costs
only so cents and will thoroughly cure
your out-of-order stomach, and leave
sufficient about the house in case
some one else in the family may suf-
fer from stomach trouble or 1ndiges-
ton.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula plainly printed on these
5O-cent cases, then you will under
stand why Dyspepsia trouble of all
always relieves sour, out%-of-order
stomachs or Indigestion in five min
utes. Diapepsin is harmless and
tastes like candy, though each dose
contains power sufficient to digest and
prepare for assimilation into the blood
all the food you eat; besides. it makes
you go to the table with a healthy APP
petite; but. what will please you most
is tina You will feel that your stom-
ach and intestines are clean and fresh,
n YOU will not need to resort to
laNatives or liver pills for Biliousness
or Constipation.
This city will have many Diapcpsin
cranks. as some people will call them,
but you will be cranky about this
splendid stomach preparation, too. if
YOU ever try a little for Indigestion or
Gastritis or any other Stomach
misery.
Get some Pape's Diapepsin now
this minute, and forever rid yourself
of Stomach Trouble and Indigestion.
