the Demonstration Made
Yesterday Aft
ernoon.
KEPT OUT THE FUMES.

The test given the Draeger oxygen
rescuer yesterday afternoon by the
fire department proved successful and
demonstrated that the apparatus is
I'D to the standard In every respect.
Fireman George w. Dunlop, wear
ing the outfit, remained in a small
room filled with sulphur and straw
smoke for eiglneen minutes without
experiencing any difficulty. He was
able to breathe freely and the smoke
did not effect him.
The demonstration was conducted
in a small one story shed, the dimen-
sions Of which are Is by lS feet, near
Fifth and Blohdeau streets, at $3.50
o'clock. There were present besides
the members OF the fire department,
the city officials and ]. P. lngle,
manager of the keokuk Electric COM
pany. A crowd gathered for the
demonstration.
Ten pounds of sulphur were burned
and also barrel Of old straw. -Four
electric lights were turned on IN the
room, but the smoke was so dense
that the watchers from the outside
could not see the lights.
The only thing that Fireman Dun
lap could see was the sulphur flame.
That the demonstration might be
complete he remained over this the
greater part of the time. After eigh-
teen minutes he'd elapsed, Mr.. Dun
lap left the place.
The apparatus includes a pair OF
goggles with rubber rims to protect
the eyes and the oxygen breathing
outfit. There Is clamp that fits over
the nose, the breathing being done
through the mouth. Oxygen is IN
hailed from a bag container. which
might be called an artificial lung. 1t
is also exhaled through the mouth,
being purified by passing through
container filled with potash.
The Keokuk Electric com pany has
ordered one of these oxygen rescuers
and also a lungmotor.

To Overcome Eczen,o

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying little zeno
furnished by any druggist for &c Ex-
ira large bottle, S1O0. Healing begins
the moment zerno is applied. In short
time usually every trace of eczema, tet-
ter, pirnples, rash, black heads and SIM
liar skin diseases viii be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zerno, the
penetrating. antiseptic liquid. 1t is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail if is the one dependable treat

Ru 1MoGEN B. OAKLEY

According to an ordinance Of Councils
approved March Z, 1882:
ITO place any sweepings, or other dirt
or rubbish from any store or other build
ing, upon the streets of tho city, or the
footways thereof, except In proper recep-
tacles," is declared to he public nui-
sance and therefore prohibited.
Nearly all the small shopkeepers in
Philadelphia, and some that are not so
small sweep the days accumulation of
dust and dirt out upon the sidewalk, and
while many, fattering themselves that
they are exceptionally tidy sweep the
dirt across the sidewalk and into the
gutter, they are all violating this law,
which forbds sweeplngs on either side
walk or street.
Nothing can be more insanitary than
this practice. Various women's clubs
In the city have at times debated the
question of sending printed requests to
shopkeepers. asking them in the interest
of the public health to put their sweep
ings into the ash can, or still better into
the fire.
WHY NOT IN PHILADELPHIA
"If Berlin can have clean streets. why
cannot Philadelphia" Is the indignant
question of all those who have seen and
admired the wonderful cleanliness of that
city.
Philadelphia could have clean streets
and have them at once If she had a
military government. The United States
army gave clean streets to Havana and
Manila and could do the same for Phil
adelphla II her citizens should desire to
live under martial law. If all Philadel-
phia men were Obliged to devote a num-
ber of years to military service and to
learn the soldiers lesson of prompt and
unquestioning obedience, there would
doubtless be no more public eNpectora-
tion. no more throwing down of waste
paper. no more sweepings OF shops out
into the streets.
WHAT A GERMAN DID.
was once asked to demonstrate with n
family of German immigrants who per-
sisted in throwing all their household
refuse into the yard of their next door
neighbor l explained to the man of the
family that 1t was neither cleanly nor
kind to dump refuse into n neighbors
yard and that therefore the law forbade
his doing SO. He looked at me with
amazement and said: But 1 thought
this was n free country!"
He and his family had been cIeanly
In their own country, but they had been
cleanly under compulson; they had not
been taught that the real reason for
cleanliness is that one should love ones
neighbor as ones self.
The democratic ideal. as opposed to
militarism, is that the people shall be
taught the altruistic reasons for order
and cleanliness, and to love and practice
these virtues for their own sakes.
But who shall do the teaching? Shall
women's clubs and college settlements
be depended upon, as is now the case?
Or shall policemen instruct the house
holders on their beats? or shall city
ordinances relating to public health and
cleanliness be included in the curriculum
of all schools?
