Precautions to Observe to
Ward Off Pneumonia

Pneumonia as a cause of death is
Carolina state board of health, as il
ranks third and is outclassed only by
tuberculosis and organic heart diseases.
1t is seasonal disease, and we are
now in the midst of that season. Dur
Ing the winter and early spring season
pneumonia is greatly ON the increase
and causes about 10 per cent of all
deaths.
One of the most predisposing causes
of pneumonia is the presence of other
diseases, especially those diseases pro-
ducing a debilitating effect. Such dis
eases might be mentioned as colds,
grippe, bronchitis and other respiratory
diseases. Debility developing from
any cause increases susceptibility.
therefore it is all important that all
functions of the body be kept in good
working order and that resistance be
kept as high as possible.
Resistance Is lowered by overeating,
lack Of exercise, lack of fresh air to
live. sleep and work In. lack of regular
sleep and relaxation and irregular liv-
ing habits. Excesses of all kinds de-
crease resistance and predispose to
pneumonia. Excessive heat. worry, ia
tigue and undue exposure to cold are
the factors predlsposing to pneumonia
Alcohol has been called by the United
States public health service the hand
maiden of pneumonia"
1t is well established fact that
pneumonia Is germ disease. People
sick with pneumonia should not be Wis
ited for two reasons-their chances for
recovering will be better without visit
ors, and the chances for the spread OF
the disease will be reduced

Things Worth Knowing

Chicken fat is good for shortening or
frying. Soak it for ten minutes In cold
salted water, then try it out in rather
cool oven, pouring the fat off as fast as
it melts.
few drops of oil of lavender poured
into a glass of very hot water will
purify the air of room almost in
stantly from cooking odors and is espe-
cially refreshing in sickroom
breakfast ii will add flavor If broken
up fine and mixed with the bread
crumbs to put OF top of baked maca-
rOni or scalloped potatoes or baked
beans.
II you are fond OF pumpkin pies and
have no pumpkins, have you ever tried
substituting carrots? Cook and pre-
pare them the same as you would the
pumpkin, and you'll find 1t hard to tell
which Is the better.
An urgent invitation to a horrible
death is the washing of goods in pan
OF gasoline in a room in which there In
tire Goods washed in gasoline
should not be taken to dry into room
In which there is blaze of any kind.
In Ohio in one year five women were
burned to death for adding gasoline to
clothes in wash boiler while it was
on the stove-an act almost invariably

OUR SENSE OF MOTION.
And an Explanation Of Some Railway
Train Delusions.

And an Explanation of Some Railway
Train Delusions.
When you sit in moving train look
Ing out of the window it appears as
though the fields. the telegraph poles
and everything else outside were NOV
ing instead of you. This is because our
only ideas of motion are arrived at by
comparison. The fact that neither you
nor the seats of the car nor any other
part of the inside OF the car is chang
ing its position leads you to the delu-
sion that the things outside the car are
moving
II you were to pull down all the cur
tains and the train were making no
noise at ali you would not think that
anything was moving. says the Book
OF Wonders. II would appear as
though you were motionlesse Just as
everything In the car appears 30
When you turn then to the window
and lift the curtain you carry in the
back of your mind the idea OF being at
rest and that is what makes It appear
as though the fields and everything
outside were moving In an opposite di-
rection.
This is particularly noticeable when
you are in train in station, with
another train on the next track. There
is a sense of motion II one OF the
trains only is moving, and you feel that
1t is the other train, because you are
surrounded 10y objects in the car which
are at rest. II the delusion happens to
be turned the other way it will appear
as though you are moving and the
other Is still.

MAGNATE COPPER NOW PLANNING
 TOWNSHIP
Twin Buttes Group Is Being Opened Up On Weeds Ad- vice In Efficient Manner With Promising Future.

The progress being made in thede- velopment of the properties in the Twin Butte district. owned by the Magnate Copper Company, is attract ing the attention of mining men thru out the state. When it was annOunc- ed a few months ago that Walter Har vey Weed had been employed by this company as consulting engineer and geologist. and that Herbert C. Shot well had been engaged as engineer actively in charge of operations. it became apparent at once that the properties of the company were to be opened up and developed in the most efficient manner.
 Including claims recently purchas- ed the company holds a group of twenty-nine claims. or about 515 acres located five and a half miles from the town of Twin Buttes in direction slightly west of south. It is reached by a wagon road from Twin Buttes. station on an extension of the Tue son-Nogales branch of the Southern Pacific railroad. The altitude is. roughly, $500 feet above sea level. and U. z. Mineral Monument No. is sit pated on Hector No. l claim. which is almost in the center of the group and IS generally referred to as Mag nate Ridge. The original location and development work on a number of these claims was done by A. c. Sim kins. who is probably more familiar with local conditions than any other in Pima county.

DOUGLAS. Ariz., April A. - Completion of the power line from the Calumet & Arizona Shelter to the mines of the com pany in the Warren district will be made within the next several days. This power line will carry current which is to be saved from present operations.
 In the Warren District the cur rent will first be applied to the giant electric pump which is now being installed on the 1900 level of the Junction shaft. 1t is the largest electric pump ever con tracted for in Arizona. and so far as is known il will be the biggest in service anywhere in the coun- try on a task involving as much head capacity as the 1900 foot Junction lift. and the 1000 gallon a minute of water that it will handle.
Bisbee daily review., 1917-04-15

The contractors supplying the pump at first questioned the fea- sibility of successful electrical installation for the work. They said the requirement. was greater than anything previously come in contact with. After study of the. specifications in association with electrical experts, it was agreed that as worked out by the C. X A. engineering staff the pro ject was entirely practical.
 In the event of the success at tending the installation which is confidently expected. it is prob able that all the present steam pumps of the company in mine employment will be replaced with electric pumps. Utilizing the power saved through the devices brought into play through con servation ingenuity at the smell ter. the pumping charges of C. X A. will be materially lessened.
