Good Work Of Ozone.

The effect of ozone upon slow-heal-
Ing wounds seems to commend It to
extensive use. In u cases reported by
DR.. George StOker of the Oxygen hos
pital in London, the injuries, chiefly in
cavities Of the long bones, Aad persisted
from three weeks to fourteen months,
but after the direct application Of
ozone cure was complete within five
days to seven weeks. Besides its direct
cleansing action, the ozone greatly aids
in eliminating dead bone, foreign
bodies and harmful deposits. 1t was
concluded that this substance acts az
very efficaciOus germicide, serves
through the wounded tissue as q DOW
erful stimulant of the circulation, and
promotes the combination Of oxygen
with hemOglobin in the blood. The
drst application of ozone brings about
an increase Of pus. which is followed
by clear serum, then by reddish serum,
when the healing process becomes
much accelerated.

DON'T BLAME THE CHAIRMAN

Ex-NatioIal Chairman of the G. o.
P. party in 1912, Charles D. Hilles,
says that the PARTY needs a new
chairman, insinuatirg that Chairman
Wilcox was no good. MIR. Wilcox
acted as chairman in 1916, and sue
ceeded in carrying all the eastern
states for Hughes, while the party
under Mr.. Hilles in 1912 only carried
two small states. The best surgeons
in the world cannot save the life of
a nan when he has received fatal
stab in the heart, and how is mere

all its organs that have heretofore

and greed been inserted?

sosToN's REPLY
TO Mr.. SUNDAY

Cn the day that Boston was roll
ing up great popular majority in
favor of licensing the liquor trade
for another year, the United States
senate by tie vote, the vice presi
dent being absent, refused to submit
the question to referendum in the
City Of Washington. Thus, Boston,
whether wisely or unwisely, contin-
ues to regulate its own household,
while the national capital must bow
to an authority beyond it's control.
The fact that Boston is more en-
phatic than usual at this time, in the
presence of Mr.. Sundays great reviv-
al, will cause astonishment in some
quarters, but 1t was what might have
been expected. He conducted the
campaign on religious lines, and the
more profoundly he stirred the town
the more certain became his defeat.
large vote meant disaster to his
cause, and he succeeded in arousing
much interest in the balloting.
Different tactics might have pro-
duced another result. The traffic in
liquor and the use of liquor are not
such vital religious questions as
many people suppose. If total alb
stinence were to be enforced in the
churches, most congregations would
shrink perceptibly. 1t is where So
called prohibition has been aimed
chiefly at the saloon that it has won
Its most notable victories.
While Mr.. Sunday was making the
matter an issue of religion and sal
vation, his opponents presented 1t as
a social, political and business prob
lem. No doubt thousands Of men
who are neither purveyors nor con-
sumers of intoxicants voted for H.
cense on these grounds and rejected
the religious appeal altogether.-New

WHY AVIATORS FALL
NOT ALWAYS BECAUSE THEIR
MACHINE IS BROKEN.
Scientist Expresses Belief That The
High Altitude Frequently Affects
"Airmen"-Has Made Many
Tests Apparently Proving 1t.

We often hear 1t said that the avia-
tor who falls to the earth is the victim
Of a a'broken machine. When an aviator
falls to his death his machine is usual
ly SO badly damaged that It Is impOs-
sible to say which part was not in
good working condition.
Doctor Placzek~ q well-known Ger
man scientist, has long suspected that
the fault was not with the machine at
all in nine cases out Of ten. but that
some profound change, either physio-
logical or psychic. causes the aviator
to lose control Of the motor. Such
change, he thinks, may be due to the
extremely high altitude.
He tested his theory with u pneu-
matte cabinet, so constructed that the
atmospheric pressure could be quickly
diminished. In this he placed nor
NAL, healthy man. He then reduced
the pressure of air to correspond to an
altitude of $4,000 feet.
Doctor Placzek found by various
tests to which he subjected the man
centration was materially impaired.
In some way also muscular activity
was hampered, that is to say the
muscles did not respond either with
alacrity or precision to the impulses
of the will. The entire mechanism of
the human machine, through lack of
centralized action, was thrown out Of
gear. )
In addition to the diminished atmos-
pheric pressure from which the aviator
and the subject in the cabinet alike
suffered, the aviator labors under an
appreciable excitement. He is sub
jected, furthermore, to continual
change of atmospheric pressure, the
same being now greater, now less, as
the airplane Is sweet up or downward
by currents Of air, which, at a great
altitude, are swift and strong, so that
the task, both difficult and delicate, Of
instantaneOusly adjusting itself to con-
tlnuous changes, is laid upon his or
ganism.
The aviator also has other difficult
ties to contend with. The difference in
temperature from the earth he has left
and the altitude in which he operates
Is intense, and he cannot escape from
the wind, which accentuates the cold,
and, at first contracting the blood ves-
sells, later expands them as they be-
come paralyzed by the cold. Then,
when they are enlarged, more blood
rushes to the skin to fill the enlarged
vessels, and the internal organs sud-
denly find themselves with a dimin-
lshed and insufficient supply Of blood.
This is not a wholesome condition
for any Of the organs, but for the brain
and heart 1t is particularly serious.

NEW RESOLUTIONS

On January first of each year many
new rules are made. says prominent
writer. This seems to be a time of
reckoning. Such resolutions have lit
tie value unless they are lived up to.

should strive to follow. 1t is very

long ways in manhood. The rule we

The young mind is very alert and is

guage and consume liquor. This young
man soon found associates Of q rough
character. The father did not laugh
short time ago when that boy was
sentenced to the penitentiary for life.
Practically every boy patterns after
some man. The little mind watches
every act and absorbs that mans pat
tern into his very character. The In.
dividual who has not yet understood
his influence on the children Of his
acquaintance has overlooked much.
There are plenty of men who are d.
