WHY COLD TURNS HANDS BLUE
Vclns Become Filled With Blood That
Is Impure, Its Color Being
Purplish.

The hands or other parts OF the body
appear blue because the veins which
are near the surface are filled with
impure blood, which is purplish in
color A normal. healthful circula-
ton means that warm red blood flows
freely through the arteries, and thiR
is returned to the heart through the
lungs by way OF the veins, which carry
only used-up blood, or what is left OF
the good. red blood when the arteries
are through with it. The color is q
purplish blue.
Full, uninterrupted circulation OF
the warm red blood is what keeps the
body warm. When the hands are blue
It means that circulation OF good, red
blood has practically stopped-that II
ia not flowing from the heart through
the arteries in sufficient quantity. and
there is no color in the arteries, as the
blood from them has gone into the
veins. Then the hands will look blue
because the veins are full of pur
plish blue blood, and there are a great
many veins in the hands close to the
surface.

Shortening the War.

The motor truck and motor passen-
ger vehicle are now undergoing, in the
great international war. the greatest
OF all practical tests. If the war is
short. as all good men devoutly hope,
the motor vehicle will not only be a
great factor in shortening it but also
in determining the result; and by
shortening the length of the war the
motor will not only pay for itself many
times over, but save direct hundreds
OF millions-and mayhap billions OF
dollars. The quicker the contenders
move, the more CHASTITY and destruc-
tive the war will be and the sooner
