BADLY BURNED BY
CHEMICAL FUMES
Frank Xucreher. lee Cream Maker nj
Sturterant 4 Bakers Plant,
Perhaps Fatally Hurt
CRAWLs ON FLOOR FROM PLACE
Valve in Ice Making Machine Releases
Full Pressure of Ammonia as
Workman is in Room.

Badly burned, perhaps fatally,
Frank Zuercher, 756 Seventeenth
street, dropped to the floor of Stur-
teyant & Bakers ice cream plant, 1914
Seventh avenue, last night and
crawled from an ammonia filled room,
yelling for help.
Assistance was rendered immed-
lately, but adyices from the attending
physician today are that it is doubt
ful of Mr.. Zuercher will recover. His
face and body are badly burned.
Greatest fear is that inhalation of the
fumes will cause pneumonia and re
suit in his death.
Details of the accident are meager,
as Mr. Zeurcher, who is ice cream
maker at the Sturteyant & Baker
plant, was alone in the place. He was
taking care of some early morning
orders at the time the accident oc-
Cured.
MIR. Baker declared this morning
that from appearances the victim of
the mishap had turned a valve to re-
lease some oil from the ice making
machine. and that in some manner a
hose attached to a valve pulled out, re-
leasing the full pressure Of the am
monia. People nearby rushed to his
aid. He was taken to Otto EverS'
drug store across the street from the
plant and Dr. +. NJ. Sala was sum-
moned The victim was removed to
the hospital
His face and body are badly
burned" DR.. Sala said. The fumes
emanating from his clothes were sc
strong that people in the drug store
were forced to leave after he had been
taken there. While the burns to the
face and body may not prove fatal
We fear that inhalation of the fume@
will cause pnemonia to set in and il
is doubtful if he would recover"
Burned Few Days Ago.
Mr. Zuercher in the last few day:
has been treating with an eye spec
ialist, having sustained burns to on'
optic during the release of a small
quantity OF ammonia from the ice
making machine Wednesday. Mr.. Bak
er was burned at that time also.
Following the explosion Of the am
mOnia pipe al the Rock Island brew
cry Monday, when Fred Barg lost hi
life, Mr.. Zuercher made the remaTI
that should an explosion ever occur a

Gentlemen: Kindly send me your

In regard to your paints, it may be
Of interest to you 10 know that three
years ago, ordered a sufficient
quantity of your paint to finish my
residence and barn. After complet-
ing them, ] put up a number of out
buildings, chicken houses, hog sheds,
etc, for which l required more paint.
Not wishing TO wait the length Of
time it would take for another ship
ment to reach me from Davenport,
decided to use paint purchased local
ly, and by way Of experiment bought
4 small quantities of a number of diff
ferent brands, the prices Of which
ranged all the way from s1-se to S2.5o
per gallon. The method. time and
number Of coats used was the same
in each case, one coat of primer and
one coat Of finish.
Without mentioning the names Of
I the various brands used, will say
that the highest priced paint which
used, a pure lead paint, was the
year it showed signs of chalking
and disooioring from the action Of
mildew. One after the other they
each failed, some through the same
fault as the first, others through
cracking and peeling. so at the pres
eGt time your paint Is lne only one
remaining and still giving service.
/ wish to order some more paint
this fall and will ask you to send me

The climate of the Gulf Coast coun-
try IS the severest test | have found
that outside paint could be put to, the
salt air, the long damp spells Incl
dent to our winter weather and the
hot summer sun, all contributing to
the rapid failure of same.
In view of the foregoing facts,
taken together with the general dis
satisfaction given by the paints sold
locally. none of which sell for less
than s1-5o, I would suggest that you
make a special effort TO advertise your
paints locally. l feel sure that as
their excellent wearing qualities be-
come known, that this, together with
their very low price, would succeed
in establishing them as the paint
1 am sure, that an investigation Of

you, being based on an absolutely

and Bring Band With Them
To Paris

Tuesday the Louisville Boost
ers came to Paris in their own
special train, were greeted at the
N. c. and st. L. station by about
l, 900 people of Henry county,
marched to the court house and
made several addresses, after S.
P. Fitzhugh, temporary chair
man, had extended a hearty well
come. ..
The Boosters brought a band
with them and carried large
white umbrellas on which was
printed in blue letters Louisville

Practically every business
house of Importance in Louisville
was represented on the Booster
special, and the only regret of
the Paris people was that more
of the distinguished visitors
could not be heard, on account
of the short time they were able
to spend in this city.
At the court house, Mr.. Fitz-
hugh called the meeting to order,
delivered the address of welcome
and introduced Thomas Floyd
Smith, president of the Louis
vile Board of Trade, who spoke
briefly and then introduced Thos.
J. Knight, a we'll known Louis
vile attorney, who made a short
talk. Mr.. Knight was often in
terrupted by applause, and when
he concluded he introduced
Arthur E. Meuller. of the Louis
vile Real Estate Board.
By his wit and humor Mr..
| Meul]er drew shouts of laughter
and round after round of ap-
plause from the crowd.
When Mr.. Meuller had finished
his address, it was about 11:25
o'clock, and in order to get away
on schedule time, 11:30, it was
necessary that the Boosters re.
turn to their train.
The Boosters expressed them.
selves as very much pleased with
Paris and the great reception
given them here. Many Of them
are we'll known to local business
men and they enjoyed the short
time spent in this city immense

Among those who took ar
active part in arranging the
reception for the Boosters were
Mayor A. B. Scates, Councilmer
R. L. Dunlap, J. M. Freeman
and F. M. VanCleave, ]. L. Hol

PHYSICIANS PLAN
EARLY OPENING Of
LOCAL HOSPITAL
ON WOOD STREET
Contracts Closed for Lease Of
Upchurch Building.---Nurse
of Experience Will Be In
Charge of Local Institution.
mo Contagious Cases Will
Be Admitted.

Early this week local physi-
clans closed a contract for the
lease of the Upchurch building
on West Wood street for use as a
hospital; the building is now be-
ing renovated and remodeled
and it is planned to have the
hospital open by July l, at the
latest.
For more than a year move
ment has been on foot among
Paris physicians to open a hospit-
al, but it was not until this week
that the campaign took on def
n lite form. However, when the
physicians determined to have a
hospital they commenced to look
about for suitable location and
soon decided upon the Upchurch
building, which was recently
purchased by H. L. Bruce.
Contracts for the lease of the
building were Immediately closed
with Mr.. Bruce and remodeling
work has already commenced.
The work will be pushed and
every effort will be made to have
the hospital open by June Is,
although it is probable that it
will be two weeks later before
everything is in readiness for the
opening.
The physicians announce that
an experienced nurse will be in
charge of the hospital. Several
applications for this position are
now being considered and the one
employed must be of known
ability and experience.
All surgical, confinement and
like cases will be admitted at the
hospital, but no patients suffer-
ing with contagious diseases will
be accepted under any cir
cumstances.
A white-tiled operating room
will be arranged at the building
and everything will be kept in an
absolutely clean and sanitary
condition.
A hospital, such as the one
soon to be opened, has long been
needed in Paris and the physi-
clans are being commended upon
every hand for their efforts to
secure such an institution. The
public is manifesting much inter-
est in the movement and the
plans are being approved by all
public spirited citizens of city
and county.
Within a short while announce
meDt as to the nurse who will be
in charge of the institution will
be made.
The building on West Wood
street is centrally located and
convenient to both the N. c.. &
st. L. and the L. & N. rail-
roads.

AGO COMPANY IS
ON COOPERATIVE
BASIS; BIG CAPITAL

The AGO Manufacturing Com
pany is a corporation chartered
under the laws of Tennessee,
with an authorized capitalization
of $500, 900, divided into 1000
shares of the par value of 500

The company has the largest
cereal manufacturing plant in the
South, equipped wit the best and
highest priced machinery, located
directly on the N, C. & st. l..
railway and on a ~" of the L.
& N, railroad in South Paris.
This company was originally
organized in 1912, with O. capital
ization of $40, 1000, all of which
was owned by only five people.
After having successfully operat-
ed the plant for a time, and hav-
ing satisfied themselves of the
quality of the products manufac-
tured by the company, and seeing
the great possibilities, with the
cooperation of a sufficient num-
Der of dealers, to secure a ready
market for their products, they
decided to increae the capital
stock to 100000 and put the
company on cooperative, profit
sharing basis in order to find a
market for each article manufac-
tured.
Each product of the AGO
Manufacturing Co., is one of
much merit and excellence, and
they have indeed been AGO"

them.
