PURE OXYGEN LIKE POISON
When 1t Is Applied at Pressure of Sew
eraI Atmosphere Warm-B looded
Animal Dies Quickly.

There is a seeming incongruity in
speaking Of oxygen as a poison; yet
scientists say that it has long been
known that If a warm-blooded animal
be submitted to pure oxygen at a
pressure Of several atmospheres it
will die as promptly and surely as If
1t were in an atmosphere of pure nj
trogen. 1t is pointed out that even
exposures to lesser pressures of oxy-
gen over a considerable time are Of
ten attended with fatal results, the
most familiar Of which are severe In
fammation of the lungs, thus leading
indirectly to death.
Professor Karsner has attempted to
define more accurately the possible
pathologic effects Of this gas, which
is being used freely as a therapeutic
agent, as prophylactic against
asphyxia in anesthesia in the indus.

FALL ROAD DRAGGING

The worst season for country roads
is undoubtedly in the fall, just before
they freeze up. Fall rains soak them
up thoroughly and fall hauling cuts
them up into bad ruts. Every driver
knows that a road made rutty by fall
driving and freeing is hard on the
wagon, the team, the driver and the
auto. 1t is expensive to drive over
such roads, not only because of the
wear and tear, but especially because
full loads cannot be hauled at a
time when the hauling of farm pro-
duce to the city and railroad centers
is customary.
The best time for fall dragging is
late in the evening, just before freez-
ng and after heavy traffic has stopped.
THIS gives an even surface for the
next morning. Then should the wealth
er warm up and the roads thaw out
for the day, the drag should again
be kept busy until the road is dry and
even.
Fall dragging will keep your road
in good condition throughout the win
ter, will prevent the road surface
| from soaking up an over abundance of
moisture and will prevent many of
the ills that come to a road in the
spring time. So keep your road drag
busy now.

VOTED TO TAKE $1,000

Wausau Aerie, No. 251, F. o. E.,
the first of the fraternal organiza-
lions in the city to subscribe for the
second issue of Liberty bonds, at the
regular meeting, Friday evening at
their hall, corner of Third and Jackson
streets, it was unanimously voted to
invest one thousand dollars of the
money which is in the benefit fund of
the organization in the second issue
of Liberty bonds. The Eagles believe
that it is the duty of all to assist our
country at this time.

gram it was shown that the fraternal
order of Eagles is patriotic organiza-
ton, the speakers all dwelling at some
length on the national crisis and ask
ing all present to give their support
to the president of these United States
during this grave period The mem
bers present feeling that the true
way of winding UP a brilliant occa-
sion of that kind decided that it would
be a good idea to dance couple of
hours. The tables were gathered up
and stored away and the members and
their friends danced until the wee
small hours of the morning.

National Waste.

Five years OF drumming into the
public the tremendous wastes of fire
carelessness has app -ently had little
effect. 1t probably will take a war
such as the one into which the country
is now plunged, with its measures of
national economy, to correct wasteful-
ness which has cost millions in money
and countless lives. The extent of this
waste is presented graphically by the
actuarial bureau of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters, which has just
completed an investigation of 100000
fires in the United States. The report
lays 21.4 per cent of the blazes to
strictly preyentable causes, 37.9 per
cent to partially preventable causes
and 40.7 per cent to unknown causes,
largely preventable. 1t is another IL
