MUSTARD GAS WORST
Most Horrible Invention Huns
Use in War.
It Brings Tears and Causes Painful
Skin Diseases Among
Soldiers.

Washington.-The most dangerous
kind of poison gas used by the Ger
mans is mustard gas" or dichloro-
diethysulphide.
Mustard gas has a distinctive but
not altogether unpleasant smell, more
like garlic than mustard. 1t is heavy
and oily as liquid. 1t boils at PIT de-
grees centigrade. and thus has proper
ties whereby it can be distributed in
the form of spray on the impact of q
shell.
Mustard gas is a powerful producer
of tears. After several hours the eyes
begin to swell and blister, causing in
tense pain. The nose discharges freely,
and severe coughing and vomiting en-
sue
Direct contact with the spray causes
blistering of the skin, and the vapOr
penetrates through the clothing. Gas
masks, of course, do not protect
against this. The symptoms are similar
to pneumonia - high fever, heavy
breathing and often stupor.
The damage done by mustard gas in
slow and insidious development The
DTedhlnS GOWN Oh the aHecLeu uSSueN
is slow, the height being reached from
five to ten days after the burn is re-
ceived. The painlessness is also n
marked characteristic. Healing in
slow.
Mustard gas besides being used in
direct attack, is also used for "neutra-
lization." For instance, where supplies
and ammunition are being brought up
few mustard gas shells will result
in dangerous confusion and delay. A
part of the infantry is "neutralized"
by having food and ammunition cut
down. If the shell hurts as well an
neutralizes, so much the better.
The American mask to fight mustard
gas is of the box respiratOr type. The
hood is of rubber. Breathing is
through the mouth, pincers shutting
off the nostrils. The gas-charged air
enters through the bottom of the can
listers, where by means of neutralizing
| chemicals, it is purified. From the top
| of the canister the air is drawn into
| the lungs.
| There is a one-way shutter valve in
the hood through which the air comes

| hours. For artillerymen the war de-
| partment has made an oil suit which
encloses the soldier bodily.

An UnheraIded Event.

An announcement has appeared in
the newspapers so insignificant that 1t
has almost passed unheeded. The size
of the item was altogether out of pro
portion to its Importance. The single
paragraph was to the effect that the
swinging bridge over the Suez canal
at FL Kantara, about 10 miles south
of Port Said, had been completed. Yet
that bridge affords direct railway COM
munication between Cairo and the cit
les of Palestine; it cOnquers the desert
which separated Egypt from Palestine.
and which has for centuries barred the
march of nations; 1t joins Asia to AZ
RIGA, and it assures the world that the
Holy Land will henccforth be under
Christian guardianship. Nerxes bridg-
ing the HelleSpOnt is nothing To the
British bridging the Suez canal! Sure
ly the bells of Christendom ought to
have been rung when that insignifi-
cant announcement crept into the cor
ners of the pers!-Christian Science
Monitor.

TO DRIVE AWAY MOSQUITOES
Kansas Professor Makes Public Prep

Against Pests.

Campers and tourists who are
hnraSScd by mosquitoes can find relief
by use Of repellants, points out George
A. Dean, professor Of entomology, Kan
saS State Agricultural college.
Where time and circumstances will
not permit of sanitary means of con-
troll, an effective repellant can be made
by the use of one ounce of cedar oil.
two ounces of citronella and two
ounces of spirits Of camphor.
A small amount of this solution ap-
piled to the face and hands or on Il
handkerchief tied around the neck
will keep the mosquitoes away. Equal
ly good results may be obtained if the
liquid is applied to Il cloth and hung
near the face when mosquitoes are
troublesome at night.

at is we'll known that an attack of

ports the King of Spain suffered an
attack of influenza during the cpl

How can one guard against infiu-

"In guarding against disease of all
kinds, II is important that the body be
kept strong and able to fight off dis
ease germs. This can be done by hav-
ing proper proportion of work, play
and rest, by keeping the body well
clothed, and by eating sufficient whole

In the head, eyes, ears, back or other
parts of the body and feeling of Sc
we're sickness. In most of the cases the
symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover
ing. Some Of the patients, however,
develop pneumonia, or inflammation
of the ear, or meningitis, and many of
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-caled Spanish influenza Is
identical with the epidemics Of influen-
"a of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemlcs of influenza have visited
this country since 1917. II is interest
Ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics of the dis
ease In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
of Influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient, spread FIRST to Russia and
thence over practically the entire CIV
ilized world. Three years later there
was another fiare-up of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
although the present epidemic is
called Spanish Influenza there is no
reason to believe that it originated In
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front in the summer and
fall Of 1917"
How can Spanish Influenza" be rec
ognized7
"There Is as yet no certain way in
which a single case Of Spanish influ-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
'er hand, recognition Is easy where
there is group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epfdemics of influenza
may occur at any season of the year.
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely in Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, in the case of ordi-
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depressiOn) are by no
means as severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are in influenza. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
SO extensively as does influenza.
"In most cases a person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud-
denly. He feels weak, has pains in the
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over. Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit. Most of the pa
tients complain of feeling chilly, and
with this comes a fever in which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
"In appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
