HOW THIS LITTLE BOY
Recovered Strength After sickness.

Garrett, Texas.-"The measles left
my little boy. aged nine years. in a very
weak. run down condition-he coughed
a good deal. and as medicines did not
seem to help him. we finally took him
cut of school. and thought he would
never be strong again. One day I read
about the cod liver ana iron tonic
known as Vinol and such a change as
il made in my little boy-it stopped
his cough, he is now back in school
strong and week.-Mrs. f. A. Wright
There is nothing like vinol to re-
store strength, appetite and vim to pale
sickly children. We strongly recon-
mend Ninol for this purpose. Joseph

DEADLIEST GAS
Alma Boy Writes OF Late Discovery
in u. 5. Chemical Service.


Alonzo Beshgetoor, son Of Rev. V.
X. Beshgetoor of this city, has writ
ten TO Professor +. +. West Of the
chemical department of Alma college,
of his work in the u. S. Chemical
Service at Cleveland, telling Of the
deadliest gas that has so far been
discovered. Portions Of the letter
| follow:
There has been corps Of about
100 chemists working on the prob
lem, each chemist having his part,
but much Of the credit is due to Col.
F. NJ. Dorsey, Col. w. G.. Wilcox and
others Of the Chemical Welfare Serv-
ice.
"The gas is called 'Methyl' and is
72 times more poisonous than mus
tard gas, which is the most deadly
gas known TO the Germans and the
one they used with such success in
their big drives Of last spring. Only
the signing of the armistice prevent
ed it's wholesale use against the eGr-
mans who were the first users Of pois-
onous gases in battle.
"On the day the armistice was
signed there was a plant near Cleve-
land, with eighteen acres under roof,
for producing this gas at the rate of
twenty tons a day. In other words
the output Of one day would be suf-
fcient 70 kill $50 900 men.
80 closely had the secret been
guarded that up to the time that it
was given out, only FIVE men outside
the plant knew what was going on
inside and they were among thous-
ands employed in construction work
mot only the fact that il Is 7c
times more poisonous than anything
the Germans have, but the fact that
the German mask is no protection,
makes il the more valuable as
weapon Of war When Methyl'
passes into the German mask il is
changed 10 'diazomethane. a still
more poisonous gas. Thus the Ger
mans, who have considered them
selves the greatest chemists OF the
lay have finally invented a mask that
only intensifes the deadly properties
# the already deadly gas made by
our own American chemists"
Professor West in commenting on
this gas says: "Methyr is not new
substance as to its chemical struc-
'ure. but chemists have never before
been able to isolate It. BY ordinary
methods when 'Methyl' is liberated,
it exists as such for only a fraction
Of second. when, If il cannot find
anything else to unite with. Il will
unite with itself - and form
ethane, which is found in ordinary
Illuminating gas" I
