ANTID0TE FOR CARBOLlc ACID
vinegar Is Most Effective to Counter
act Effects, Either From Burns
or Taken Internally.

If a surface burned with carbolic
acid be washed at once with vinegar
or a dilute solution of acetic acid, the
bleaching and anesthetic influence of
the acid are such as at once to con-
trol the pain. Taken into the mouth,
the carbolic acid influence will disap-
pear very quickly if it be followed at
once by "a mouthful of vinegar, retain
ed in contact with the surfaces burned
by the acid. If the acid has been
swallowed, drink at once vinegar di-
luted just sufficiently to make it pos
sible to swallow it. The quantity of
vinegar must be in excess of the acid
swallowed. If very large quantity
of the antidote must be taken, ii
should, if possible, be removed from
the stomach after short time with ex-
IRENE care by the siphon or the stom-
ach pump or by mild emetics. Dan
ger of perforation of the oesophagus
or stomach walls must be considered
and avoided.

MULE BALKS AT LEMON PIE
Animal Devours Stock in Bakery Wa0-
on, Except Citrus-Crusted Va
riety.

Greenwich, Conn.-Many prominent
citizens of this community whose
wealth permits them to indulge in pie
were forced to go without their daily
rations unless, perchance, it was lemon
pie that they had ordered from Conk-
Inns bakery. A plain, everyday mule,
that hadn't been considered at all in
the food administrators regulations,
was responsible.
The mule furnishes the motive pow
'er for one of the delivery wagons of
the Round Hill dairy. His driver left
him in Greenwich avenue and went
into a lunch room for light break
fast.
The mule had hunger, too, and 1t
was accentuated by the aroma that he
inhaled with the clear morning air. He
pulled up to the rear of the bakery
wagon. When the driver of that We
hicle returned from making delivery
his stock of pies was reduced to the
lemon variety. That mule has no APP
petite for the crust that conceals the
citrus.

False Rumors Shake Britain

rumor by way of kindly neutrals, had
sent thousand asses laden with pure
gold as peace bride to Berlin. A later
effort, told with due pathos and dra-
matte effect, concerned the loss of a
large American transport, which had
been sent down by German U-boat,
with total loss of life and material.
The rumor was common property. with.
perhaps, the possible exception of the
American naval authorities.
Thousands of WOolwich ARISEN ii
workers, unable to obtain food, were
rioting furiously. and the troops had
to be called out" was the preface
to another. Inquiry showed the case
to be that of woman of inebriate
habits and revolut nary tendencies, u
misrepresentation with local police
constable and sympathetic crowd;
hungry and disappointed. supplied the
necessary background and climax.
Another case was that of two kiltie
regiments. The - Highlanders, hold
ing the left flank of a big advance
movement, were to have been sup
ported at 5 a. m. of freezing winter
morning by the Black Watch. The
latter failed to put in an appearance.
The Highlanders. sadly mauled by
Fhrapnel and machine guns, returned
to rest billets at quarter strength and
swearing vengeance dire. On the road
the Black Watch was encountered.
Forthwith the two battalions set about
one another with their dirks and bay
onets. leaving the dead and dying by
the roadside In the hundreds. This
story to the troops individually con-
cerned proved extremely acceptable
from its humorous element alone.

Fare OF M0STFRUGAL NATURE
Practically Condemned to the Life OF
Recluses-Dauahters Allowed to
Come and Go Freely, but Son
Is Closely Guarded.

Paris.-Though things Russian are
rather In disfavor just now, short
account of the life led by the Roma
noffs, the former imperial family, may
prove of interest.
Tobolsk has been called the "City of
Death" its temperature rarely rising
above the freezing point Most of its
houses are built of wood, the one
where the imperial family lives being
one of the few brick buildings In that
part of the country. Its ground floor
is occupied by company of soldiers
Installed there as guard. The two
upper floors, consisting of IA rooms
most simply furnished, constitute the
apartments of Colonel Romanoff."
There is neither running water nor
gas, neither electricity nor bathroom
The servants are obliged to draw from
nearby well the water needed for
household purposes. The rooms are
heated by brick ovens which burn
wood. The largest room is not more
than 10 feet by 10 feet.
The windows of the house look out
on an unattractive landscape. There
is not even garden where the ex-
car might dig and forget his bore
dom. A narrow balcony and a court
yard inclosed by high brick walls fur
nish the only breathing spots for the
Imperial prisoners.
Live Life Of Refuses.
Nicholas Romanoff and his wife are
practically condemned to the lives of
recluses. Their sole outing consists In
attending mass at the cathedral of the
Annunciation or at o neighboring mon
astery or going to the public baths,
where as special favor the revolu-
tionary authorities permit them TO
battle once week. Whenever they go
out they are escorted by platoon Of
soldiers commanded by four officers of
the guard.
The fare imposed upon the prisoners
Is of the most frugal nature. Once ac-
customed to the delicate refinements
Of French cooking. they are forced to
DO content with ordinary Russian
dishes: pling, a sort of roll covered
with caviar: bortsch, thick soup
made of beets and other vegetables;
knlacha, a cheese paste.
The people of TobOisk show neither
hostility nor sympathy toward the ex-
lied family. Life In the small town Is
consistently monotonous. The exist
ence Of the former emperor drags
along in drab sadness. Now and then

Familiarity known as Alioscha, can go

Olga, the most serious of them all, has
enrolled herself among the voluntary
nurses Of a military hospital to which
are sent convalescents from Siberia
and where she conscientiously passes
several hours day.
Grand Duchess Marie has taken UP
stenography and typewriting to help
her father write his memoirs. But he
dictates nothing and writes nothing,
Sometimes he leans out of the only
window, which overlooks the town,
and watches his children when they go
for walk. He wears the undress
uniform of colonel of the Prevbajen-
skys and puts on a dignified air as
soon as he thinks he is being observed.
But when he thinks himself alone his
back loses it's stiffness, he hides his
care-lined face in his hands and this
man, whose hair has turned quite
white, falls into melancholy brooding.
