Chief Meyers of the Giants had a
chance to secure the same honor as

DIXON URGES CARE
IN USING HEAT
Says That More People Die From
Gases Caused by Improper
Use of Heat Than by Cold
By Hoban

State Commissioner of Health Sam
hygiene calls attention to the dangers
attending improper ventilation and the
careless use of stoves and steam heat.
He says frankly that more people are
killed by improper use of steam heat
than by freezing to death and that
common sense should rule. In his re-
marks the commissioner says:
When the first cold snap comes
down go the windows in homes and
offices and whatever fresh air is OBJ
tanned finds its way in when somebody
opens the door to enter or depart
'If the heating arrangements are
deemed insufficient they are often sup
plemented with oil heaters or gas
stoves. In the vast majority of cases
these have no flue connections and as
they burn they exhaust the oxygen in
the air with great rapidity. When the
atmosphere in room is devitalized in
this manner it becomes dangerously
unfit to breathe. as the life supporting
qualities are exhausted.
When gas stoves are used without
ventilation there is danger from car
bon monoxide gas. This is an odor-
less gas, which also escapes from coal
fire, l per cent. of which will kill a
horse in two minutes. 1t is visible as
the blue flame which burns over an
thracite coal after it is put on the fire.
This gas will often permeate the entire
house from the furnace in the cellar
or from the kitchen range. The sui
phurous gas which escapes with it is
irritating the olfactory organ and so
usually gives warning.
ITO guard against the escape of
gases. fire doors and stove lids should
not be opened or removed beyond the
point where the flame of a match held
close outside will be drawn inward.
AS long as the draft is up the chimneS
the gas will be carried with it.
Unfortunately the majority of heat
ing systems are planned without pro-
viding for ventilation. Direct steam
and hot water plants which have this
pernicious fault of making no pro-
vision for the admission of fresh air
are responsible for much i'll health.
More people die from the improper
use of steam heat than freeze to
death"
