One reader suggested motto for
me: Charity for none and mafiets

The Flueless Gas Stove.
In an article ON Deadly Carbon
Monoxide Gas" you said:
ANY heater except electric 2
which has no direct connection
with the flue is a menace to the
health of the occupants of the
room and a potential menace to
life itself"
When it is remembered that
there are millions of gas. cooking
appliances with top burners mo-
fiue connected and which cannot BE-
SO connected, and the@ Operation
unquestionably safe and harmless
the absurdity OF your assertion a
once becomes apparent. In the in
terest of the gas industry I may in
form you that, OF the Is deaths tt
! each. 100000 people in New Yorl
/ city from gas poisoning, 70 pc
cent are suicidal. G. w. +.
| Answer-Even in the kitchen, j
ventilation happens to be faulty
the open or unconnected gas-plat'
or gas-burner becomes a menace
But 1t is true that the majority o
serious cases Of poisoning from
fiueless gas stoves occur in bed
rooms, bathrooms or living room
SO heated. The kitchen gas STOW
should be connected with the flue
and ample provision for. thoroug
ventilation should be made to TAX
care of the carbon dioxide or tn
possible carbon monoxide gas Civ
en- off from the top-burners. If m
assertion is ridiculous or absurd
in the estimation Of the secretar
of the American Gas association,
suppose the 81 per cent of fatal
| ties from gas which are Academia
in New York city would seem posi-
| lively humorous to the aggressiv
secretary. Why bubble over tn
accidental death Of mere 200 ind
vidiuals, more or less?

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am. a
girl nearly II years old and l am
going to visit girl friend in an
other city. What and how much
clothing would you suggest l take
with me? What shall wear on the
train. NIX.
Of course the amount of clothing
needed on your visit depends great
ly upon the length of time you ex-
pect to be away and how you ex-
pect to be entertained. If you are
going for several weeks l think you
could get along very nicely with q
MILDLY blouse or s1nock or two,
with skirt, two or three simple
Bingham or plain summer dresses
of ofher material and probably a
light colored organdie dress and
perhaps a white one. If you have
a suit, l would wear that on the
train and il not a simple wash dress
or dark silk one will be very good.
Dear Mrs Thompson: Last week
l asked a friend whom have been
going with for some time to go
with 3 crowd on a straw ride. /
did not know then when it would
be. Later / told him and asked
him II he would 60. He replied
that be was going with another
bunch. Do you not think mine

vitation? Have I any cause to be
offended? PEEvED.
