THE TREATMENT OF CARBON
MONOXIDE POISONING

Carbon monoxide poisoning IS one
Of the most widely distributed and
most frequent of industrial accidents,
says the U. S. Public Health Service.
The gas is without color, !odor, or
taste. 1t is an ever-present danger
about blast and coke furnaces and
foundries. 1t may be found in a
building having a leaky furnace or
chimney or a gas stove without tiue
connection, such as tenement, tailor
shop, or boarding house. The exaust
gases of gasoline automobiles contain
from 4 to 70. per cent of carbon
Men are not infrequently found dead
beside a running motor. A similar
danger may arise from gasoline en-
gines in launches. The gas is formed
also in stroke-rooms,. in gun turrets
Yin battleships, in petroleum refln-
cries, and in the Leblanc soda pro
cess in cement and brick plants. In
underground work it may appear as
the result of shot firing, mine ex-
plosions, or mine fires, or in tunnels
from automobile exausts or from
coal or oil burning locomotives.
Carbon monoxide exerts its extreme
ly dangerous action on the body BY
displacing oxygen from its combina-
ton with hemoglobin, the coloring
matter of the blood which normally
sbsorbs oxygen from the air in the
lungs and delivers it to the different
tissues of the body. y
Oxygen will replace carbon nlonox-
ide in combination with hemoglobin
whenever the proportion of oxygen
| in the lungs is overwhelmingly

HAMILTON HOLT" PREDICTS
QUICK ATTAINMENT OF
-. WILSON FUND "a -.

New York ,March-There is very
strong sentiment for former Presl-
dent Wilson existing throughout the
country, feeling almost akin to wor t.;
ship in some sections, said Hamilton
Holt, upon his return to this city to-
day after. a tour of the Middle West
in behalf of the Woodrow Wilson
Foundation, of which ne is executive
director. In every one of the 20 towns
and cities where he made from one to
three addresses, Mr.. Holt stated that
the widely diffused popular interest
that is greeting the. nationwide eff
fort to perpetuate the ideals of Mr..
Wilson has far surpassed the expec-
tation Of those who originated the
plan to create the Woodrow Wilson
| Awards for distinguished public ser
vice.
A statement by Mr.. Holt given
out last night from national head
quarters at $50 Nassau street, in part
follows:
i in every state about which we
have information, the effort to raise
fund of $1,UO0,O00 or more for the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation is being
carried on with enthusiasm. In some
Of them subscriptions to the endow-
ment have poured in more rapidly than
they. could be handled. Supporters
of the policies of Mr.. Wilson both
rich and poor have taken this national

peace and international policy which
the former President bespoke. e. =

the work has been done IN that state
and the campaign is being carried on
to rapid conclusion. North Carolina
is but one point behind, with Tennes-
ksee and OKLAHOMA both contending

MAKING A PATIENT
COMFORTABLE

Patients who are confined to bed
even for, a few days often suffer
acutek from muscular tension, from
pressure and from fatigue due to lack
ofsexercise. Indeed, many a sick per-
son is surprised to find that the bed
which had seemed so infinitely deslr-
able can change into place OF tor
ment after few short rays of illness.
aBed-weariness" is hard to bear IN
any case of illness, but it is doubly
hard for persons who are really help
less.
There are many things that can be
done to make a patient more comtor-
table, but unless the patient is an eX-
perienced sufferer he often has no
idea what these things are, or how to
ask the attendant to do them, while
an equally inexperienced helper,
though full of good will, is often dis
couraged to find that the arrangement
she had thought perfect soon fails to
satisfy her restless patient. But II
she is willing to devote thought and
ingenuity to removing small annoy
;aiices, she can do many things to allie
waite MS misery.
The number and arrangement OF
pillows has a great deal to do with
the comfort of patient, and often a
! very slight change makes a great
deal of difference in the feeling. The
patient will probably not be able to
tell the attendant what is wrong;
s5:ihe attendant will have to know with
0out asking and rearrange without de-
), pendingsupen the patient for instruct
:. ions. Devices that keep the cover
! from pressing on parts of the body
that may be sore; are also very i'm
portant when a person is in bed for
long. time or is injured in; any way.
These are. comparatively simple to
make, and while most of them may
be bought they are more expensive
and sometimes the nearest store IS
many miles away when the need be-
comes apparent. There are also ma
ny devices that may be prepared at
home that protect the patient against
developing bed sores, that help him to
turn. or lift, himself in bed and that
keeps him from, slipping, too low in
the bed or, support his back or other
wise add to his, comfort.
. An inhalation outfit for croupy
child may be improved with an in
verted umbrella covered with blank
cts and teakettle over an alcohol
lamp, placed on chair beside the bed.
A clothline or a strip of sheet tied to
the foot of the bed will aid the patient
in raising or turning himself. Sub
stitutes for a hot water bottle are a
hot 'brick or stone, an iron heated and
wrapped with paper or cloth, or
bag filed with hot salt or bran. An
improved bed table may be made by
placing an ironing board across two
chairs backs, one on each side of the
bed, so tina. the board comes across
the PATIENTS lap. A chair with its
legs removed may be placed upon a
chiId's wagon and serve as a wheel
chair for convalescents, while drink
ing tube may be made Of dry,n1acaroni
or strip of writing paper. dipped in
paraffine and rolled while hot.
In short there are endless little make
shifts which add to the comfort OF
a patient which the attendant can de-
wise with little time and ingenuity.
