1t is not the irritating, odorous
part of coal gas escaping from
stove, furnace, charcoal brazier, or
salamander that is dangerous to
life, but the odorous part, which is
called carbon monoxide gas.
Carbon monoxide constitutes
nearly one-third of carburetted wa
ter gas used for Illuminating pur-
poses in some cities If one part
of this Illuminating water gas is
present in fifty or sixty parts of
air, through a slight leakage, it may
prove fatal to anyone breathing it
Carbon monoxide kills mysteri-
ouSly and quickly. A tramp lies
down for warmth in a brick or lime
kiln and is found dead. A man
runs his automobile engine in a
closed garage and succumbs to the
carbon mOnoXide in the exhaust.
An economical old-fashioned spin
ster raises the back draft of her
stove and retires leaving her win
dowS tightly closed to exclude the
air; she is found dead next day. A
child climbs in a closed automobile
heated with a briquette, lies down
on the seat, falls asleep and an
hour later is found dead. A house
holder connects up a portable gas
stove by means of rubber or flex-
ible tube instead of the proper gas
pipe, and somebody quietly passes
out in the night A grandmother
tries to make herself comfortable
in an unheated sewing room by
closing everything up tight and
lighting an oil heater that is not
connected with the flue; she falls
dead in her chair
These occurrences are common
everywhere, and it is quite the con-
ventional thing for the coroner to
deduce, from the fact that the de-
ceased is deceased and bears no OBJ
vious wounds, that death has been
caused by heart failure" or, if
the coroner wishes to be more orig
inal, he calls it acute cardiac di-
atation"-which is about the most
absurd guess a coroner can make
post mortem.

IfaIy'S Plea.

In Italy President Wilson will find other prob
lens as difficult Of solution those presented by
England's Interpretation of freedom of the seas and
Frances stand for balance of power. Italy claims
enough the shore of the Adratc to virtually
shut the Croatians and Slavs off from the and
having fought valantly and suffered extremely in
the cause of democracy the Italians feel that they
asking little enough. With control Of the Adratic
and with the highest ridge of the Carnic Alps it's
northeastern border Italy will feel secure against
attack from it's hereditary enemies
On the other hand the government of the
Jugo-Slavs is conending for access TO the sea and
plainly such privilege is necessary to its effective
Development If it is denied it will always nurse
a grievance which will be a menace to the peace of
that part Of Europe
Both sides are appealing for the presidents moral
support fact which makes his visit to Italy of con-
siderable international Importance and adds not
little his already topheavy load of responsibility

1t should not be forgotten that peace has not been
formally declared as yet.
The situation in England is far acute ffnan-

yet the rehabilitation of the British army has Just

carbon mOnoXide poisoning.
Early symptoms of carbon mon
oxide gassing are throbbing and a
sense of pressure in the temples,
cramp or pain in the region of the
stomach, and "caving in" of the
knees SO that the victim is glued
to the spot and apparently unable
to move away. Such warning sig
nails are often not noticed, the gas

Suitable exercises and perhaps
treatment, are generally

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a
young fellow and have been going
with a girl for about three years.
! We never heard anything against
each other until few months ago
some one told her that I had gone
with a girl with bad character,
| which was true.
| Size fOrgave me for this and said
she would be as true a friend as
any girl could be and would help
roe in every way to be a good, clean
man l know she doesn't go with
anyone else. Do you think she
really loves me? THIN O.
The girl may love you, and again
she may regard you as very good
| friend. The best way to settle your
question is to ask her, if you care
enough for her to make her your
wife.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please
print a simple lotion for an ugly
skin. All my other features are
pretty and my skin is also natural
ly delicate and soft, but am both
cred with pimples and blackheads.
Do you know of a simple lotion
that can easily be applied?
