THE FLULEss OIL HEATER

At this time Of the year, when
many feel that it is not cold enough
to use the general heating system
of the house, but is too cool to be
entirely without heat, the use of port
able gas or oil heating apparatus is
a great convenience. Cleanliness and
comparative low cost Of operation
make this type Of heating deservedly
popular. Unfortunately, many OF
these heaters are used without flue
pipe to carry off the products of com.
bustion. The use of such heaters is
to be deprecated. This is especially
true of those devices of low eff.
cheney that make it practically i'm.
perative that the doors and windows
be kept closed il the object sought
that of raising the temperature Of
tho room-is to be obtained. These
heaters put a premium on insufficient
ventilation. The current issue of Q
high-class monthly magazine carries
a fullpage advertisement Of q gas
heater that is specifically recon-
nended for use in the childrcn's play
room. 1t is advertised as 1.-The idea

NosE.eLoWiNG DRILLS

A few years of school dental clinics
have made Toothbrush drills a
fairly familiar idea in many cities
1t took the Toronto public nurses, OF
rather their supervisor, Lima L.
Rogers, to originate another drill
quite as unique and important. Since
last October the school children Of
Toronto, in squads Of twenty, have
practiced daily ''nose-blowing drills,
and the effect on the freshness o.
the atmosphere of the schoolrooms
has been so noticeable that the teach
ers have become assiduous in seeing
to it that no child comes to schoo
unprovided with pocket handker
chief. They often, indeed, them
selves order the drills without wait
ing for the coming of the nurse
The effect of the drill is perceptibl,
already on individual children, il
cases Of catarrh, and the doctors pre-
dict that 1t will have an appreciate
effect In time In lessening adsnoidl

tsY ASSOCIATES PRESS,

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Secre-
tary Bryan has issued a statement
defending the proposed treaty to set
tie differences between the United
States and Colombia over the sepa-
ration of Panama. The treaty has
met vigorous opposition in the Sem
ate, and Former President Roosevelt
has attacked 1t as q vehicle for the
payment of "blackmail."
Mr.. Bryan declared that it was
necessary to discuss only the fact that
an estrangement EXISTS, and not the
events which gave rise to the differ
ences; and that regardless of wheth-
er Colombia has just grievance
against her more powerful neighbor.
no one would deny that the former
country sustained great financial
loss. considerably more than $685.
100000 which the United States
would pay under the treaty, through
the separation of Panama. AS to the
expression of regret on the part OF
the American goernment, to which
opponents Of the pending convention
offer their bitterest objection, the
secretary said this was almost identi-
cal with a similar expression in the
Du Bois memorandum on the basis
of which tho Taft administration un-

the future, but the president now
has the opportunity to appoint Mr..
Davis, II 1t was his intention to do SO
at the first opportunity. as was in
dtcated by the recent rumor.
