SICKNESS OUTBREAKS
BETRAY MOONSHINERS
STATE POLICE FIND CLUES IN
ILLNESS DUE TO DRINKING
POISONOUS STUFF.

One of the things for which the
State Police are constantly on the
lookout now Is the outbreak of cpl
denies of illness due to poisoning
traceable to the drinking Of moon
shine liquor. 1t has been found that
the opening Of q new Illicit still IL
usually followed by such sickness In
the neighborhood and the health re-
ports give valuable clues.
Many Of the stills seized are crude
affairs and metals are used in their
construction which result In the form.
alton of poisonous oxides In the
liquor. Stills In which tin, zinc and
lead are used are sure to produce
liquor of poisonous nature. Even
where the stills are made Of other
metals. the ignorance of the amateur
clstillers often results In making the
distilled spirits they produce very
deleterious to health.
Among the raids which have re-
suited from liquor poisoning have
been those near Grayling where a
number Of dangerous stills were
found.

H. C. LIS NOT

1900 Years Ago Citizens Of
Rome Were Tormented by
Same Plague.

Diocletlan's Edicts Have Familiar

Rome.-Let those who can draw
comfort from the fact know that III.
Q. L.. is no newer than many other
plaques which poor humanity suffers
from. In fact, the citizens of Rome
now tOrmented with further leaps and
bounds In prices, are trying to console
themselves with the discovery, made
by those who read ancient books, that
this city was bothered with the prof
iteer 1000 years ago.
Ruler Fixed Prices.
In the reign of Diocletian, who
fiourished In 800 A. D., the emperor
was so disturbed by his subjects, who
suffered from the III. G. L., that he
fixed the prices Of fOodstuffs and drew
a schedule for workmen's wages. To
read his proclamation is to read the
many long-winded documents which
food controllers, mayors and other
public functiOnaries have perpetrated
In the past three or four years. The
condemning of the profiteer, moved
by a greed for profit which Is out Of
all proportion to the real value Of the
goods he SELLS" and the imperial wish
that his fixed prices should be re-
spected throughout the empire" have
a familiar ring which makes glad the
hearts of historians who want to
make history popular.
But relief, comfort and Joy do stop
there. For II is enough to read lit
tie further to discover that the good
emperors laws and curses against
newly rich and profiteers were as use
less 16 centuries ago as they are to-
day. And, In despair, the good Old
Roman tyrant implores his honest
and patriotic subjects" to resort to
the one and only remedy, boycott of
high-prced goods.
With this rulers history fresh In
their minds, the modern citizens of an
cient Rome are now being Informed
that the following goods are to go up
Aluminium goods, 800 per cent ;
nickel, copper goods and utensils, SOC
per cent; goods for household use,
such as knives, forks and spoons, 500
per cent; iron goods Of all kinds, GOO
. per cent; locks and bolts, 700 per cent ;
; earthenware and china, from 400 to
600 per cent. All these increases are
on present prices, which are from SOC
to 1000 per cent above pre-war prices

Mines Bureau Is Trying
 70 Decrease Fatalities

The Unite States bureau of mines is authorized by congress to conduct investigations tending to improve the health, welfare and working condi- tions of miners and other persons related to the mining industry. In an effort to decrease the large num- Der of fatalities resulting from minor injuries which did not receive prompt attention, instruction in first aid to show the miners how to care for each other properly in case of injury was one of the earliest and most important branches of the work of the bureau.
 A number of stations, supplied with expert instructors and equipped with first aid material were estab- lished throughout the United States to facilitate the training of men in first aid. Later, as the need for reaching the somewhat isolated min ing camps become apparent, num- Der of railroad coaches were pur- chased and remodeled to provide liv- ing quarters for crew and a train ing or demonstration room. These cars carry an ample supple of first .. aid material, both for practical and actual use, and they carry in addi- tion several sets of oxygen breathing apparatus for us in mines after a fire or a gas explosion when all the workings are filled with pois- onous gas. A number of auto trucks were purchased later and equipped with first aid material and mine rescue apparatus. While these trucks are limited in range of ac- tivity, they are very valuable for mine explosions or accidents in the vicinity of the several stations at which they make their headquarters.
 At the present time the bureau of mines has ten stations and ten cars in the United States whose

chief work is connected with mine rescue and first aid. The rescue cars travel continuously through their various districts, stopping at each of the mining camps where classes in first aid and mine rescue work are organized and training camps the visits of the rescue cars are eagerly awaited because the min ing companies and the men them selves appreciate the value of first aid and mine rescue work.
 If an explosion or mine fire oc- CUTS the nearest car is rushed to the scene on the first available train. If speed means the saving of lives, special locomotives are used. When the car arrives on the scene the crew usually takes charge of the rescue work, often by men trained at a previous visit. Many lives have been saved and many acts of hero ism performed by the bureaus crews and there has been marked de- crease in injuries and fatalities in the mining industry since the bu- reau began instruction and training in first aid work
 The mining experiment station at Fairbanks is not included in the mine rescue stations enumerated above, as it belongs to different branch of the bureaus work-that of preventing mineral waste and in- creasing efficiency in mining One of the members of the station, MT.
