tainer the exact effect of these liquids
upon the human system.
Denatured alcohol cannot be safely
used even for external purposes, and
wood alcohol is still more dangerous
if the greatest care is not exercised
to prevent inhaling the fumes or
getting the alcohol near the eyes.
Used as beverages, the effect of
these liquids upon the human system
is to cause blindness, paralysis and
death.
The person accustomed to his daily
tipple may sometimes in these
thirsty days be heard to remark that
ne is dying for drink. If he takes
either wood or denatured alcohol, he
may literally die for his drink.
. The world is so full of good things
to eat, and to querch the thirst, that
the abnormal craving which leads to
the consumption of wild beverages of
unknown and doubtful origin is a hint
that the imbiber may need mental
reatment.-Hattiesburg American.

REMOVED BY CLEANER

Swimming pools need not be drain
ed for cleaning with a device recently
placed on the market. This operates
in much the same manner as vacuum

Mechanics Magazine, which illustrates
the device in the October issue. A
centrifugal or rotary pump, connected
by a flexible suction hose with clean
ing tool, sucks sediment-laden water
from the bottom Of the tank, while a
brush on the cleaning tool loosens
dirt that adheres. The cleaning tool
is attached to the end of long metal
