My wife and myself have both

ST., Kenmore, Ohio.
Il suffered from stomach trouble
a long time. My digestion went to
pieces and my appetite was so far
gone 1 was scarcely eating a thing.
When / did manage to eat, my food
gave me a sour, acid stomach and /
bloated with gas till l was in misery.
My strength gradually slipped away
from me and l was in a badly run

"Tanlac helped me right from the

the gas is interfered with and the
result in this case is that carbon
monoxide generates. Thus a double
danger exists"
Medical records, according to bu-
reau officials, contain no record of
the cumulative effect of carbon
monoxide. The investigation to de-
diseases affecting city residents
where gas is used in large quanti-
ties are due to the cumulative ef-
fects of the deadly carbon monoxide
was undertaken at the suggestion
of the engineers delving into the
gas problems. According to the
latter it will probably be some time
before definite information of the
result of the investigation can be
made public.
Tips on Heaters.
Commenting on the varying de-
vices used for gas burning w. c..
Berry stated that Newark, N. j.,
is the only city in America having
an ordinance governing the selec-
ton and placing of gas tubing,
such as is commonly supplied in
connecting up portable heaters. OF
the latter he stated that very few
are so constructed as to insure per-
feet combustion of the gas over the
entire burner surface. He empha-
sized the necessity of properly
cleaning such heating devices as
they showed discolorations such as
the accumulation of SCOT, or failed
to burn properly.
The necessity OF connecting all
gas hot-water heaters with a flue
was pointed out by the engineers
who declared that danger of gener-
ating carbon monoxide was greatly
increased under other conditions.
Legislation in each State, govern
| ing the manufacture and sale of
gas burning devices and their
proper installation, bureau officials
stated, is of the greatest Importance,
as the use of gas is steadily in.
creasing The States of Massachu-
sets and Ohio, they said, are now
| considering such legislation, and
their example, it was predicted, will
be followed by other states as the
importance of insuring the public
against the deadly dangers incident
to the use of cheap and unscien-
tifically construed gas burning de
vices is recognized.
Contrary to the opinion generally
entertained the Bureau of Stand
ards is helpless to enforce any of
the recommendations made as a re-
suit of it's Investigations. IT is a
scientific bureau of investigation
whose services must be sought by
those interested in problems coming
properly within it's scope of actiVi
ties. AS pointed out by it's Off
Gals it's chief value to the general
public is the aid 1t gives corpora
tons and manufacturers in solving
problems tending to retard public
interest. In probing into the use
Of gas and the construction of ga
burning appliances, it is declared, ii
Is rendering a service that will
prove nation wide in effect.
| Avoid buying and selling chear
gas-burning devices" was a caution
reiterated by each Of the engineers

Mrs. Catherine Tribe, one-time

BISCUIT BAKER
|SF9OD SHOW
MARVEL
Bessie Patton Turns EN- Out
1000 Daily Free for Ex-
position Guests.

If you are a housewife and think
you are being worked to death
when you make hot biscuit for
your family Of four, how would
you like to have the job of baking
1900 biscuit q day every day-and
all by hand?
That's the job of Bessie Patton,
of 1716 Ninth street northwest, the
colored biscuit baker of the Ma
tional Food Show and Household
Exposition at Convention Hall.
Bessie does nothing but mix biscuit
dough all afternoon and evening.
Thirty-six biscuit go into each pan,
and pan after pan she thrusts out
for the demonstrator to place in the
oven and then serve free to pa.
irons.
Bessie uses "a pounds Of flour in
her biscuit every day. She also
uses pounds of baking powder
and 10 quarts of milk in addition
to quarts of Mazda. Seven
pounds of butter are required to
butter the free biscuit. All OF the
ingredients that go into the biscuit
are on display at various booths
at the show.
Bessie, the biscuit baker, was
born in Maryland, near Chevy
Chase, and she has been baking
biscuit ever since she was, eight
years old. She says she bakes
biscuit in her sleep.
Young brides who visit the show
are displaying marked interest in
trick baking powder that enables
the most inexperienced cooks to
bake perfect biscuit without the
slightest chance OF failure. The
trick baking powder is double-bar-
relied, or double acting" as the
demonstration calls it, 1t acts first
when moisture strikes 1t and then
when heat hits it. This double
action increases the cooks chances
of success by 100 per cent.
This powder makes it possible
for the "dumb-bell'' bride to slam
the oven door without danger Of
running her biscuit. To demon
strate this feature pretty young
girl puts a teaspoonful of the pow
der into a glass containing three
spoonfuls of water. The contents
Immediately foam up. Then she
inverts the glass and pounds on it
with her fists. The substance in
the glass goes on foafning and
doesn't pay any attention at all
to her. It is not feazed at all.
Mrs. Mary Sherrier Bowie, promi.
nent Washington soprano, gave a
concert last night as a special
feature. She was accompanied sole
Iy by an automatic player piano.
Radio concerts also were given.
Unusually loud and clear amp1ifica-
ton made the music heard distinct
ly throughout the hall.

RUHR COAL SYNDICATE
STILL CLAIMS CONTROL
Moved Headquarters, It Is Stated,
to Prevent "Strangulation of
German Industry"
BY the Associated Press.


HAMBURG, January IA COM
munication issued by the directorate
of the coal syndicate in defense of
it's action in withdrawing from Essen
says:
"An unobstructed control of the
German coal syndicate's organization
and equipment would have meant the
strangulation of German industry, in
that IT would have enabled the
French and Belgians to determine
the destination of every ounce of
Ruhr coal"
The syndicate claims that its organiza-
tion is intact and that the Ruhr mines
are still operating under it's authority
and will continue to do so unless
the French impose physical hand
leaps. The syndicate asserts that
sufficient funds are on hand to meet
the pay rolls and otherwise conserve
the interests of the mine workers
The decision to transfer the syndi-
Gates headquarters to Hamburg" the
statement continues, was arrived at
and put into execution within five hours.
1t was prompted by practical and
legal considerations of the situation. i"
The syndicate denies that it's action
was intended as demonstration of
a group of German industrialists who
have learned a lesson from the Ger
man experience in the .;arre basin.
where French control of the Lorraine
mines enabled them to force 81 per
cent OF the shares of the leading
German industries out oS Germrn
possession, under threat of withhold
ing coal deliveries.

fifty years old, OF 1908 K street, who
was knocked down and run over by
an automobile driven by Byron $
Adams of 1901 Park road on X strStt
near 10th Thursday night, and died
later in the hospital, was declared
accidental by u coroner's jury coftd
vened by Coroner hewitt yesterday
afternoon at the District motgue.
The decision was reached very short.e
ly after the evidence was comp1etedn
all testimony available pointing
clearly to the fact that Inadequate
street lighting was in a great meas
ure responsible for the accident, of
ficials said. -
There were no witnesses who saw
Miss O'Brien when she was struclS.
but it was brought out at the trial
that 1t was dark night and the
gaslights on K street of little help
in seeing objects at any distances
Both Mr.. Adams and his wife testified
that they did not see Miss O'Brien
until the car, a sedan, was almost
slowly and was stopped almost i'm
mediately, it was too late. Mr.. Adams
showed that the small side lights on
his automobile were Of no assistance
in detecting objects ahead.

NEW INSURANCE CODE
FAVORADLY REPORTED

Chairman Focht of the House Dis
trict of Columbia committee yesterday
filed in the House a favorable re-
port on the new insurance code for
the District. complied by Insurance
Commissioner Miller. after receiving
advice from recognized authorities
all over the country on various
phases of Insurance business.
Chairman Focht's report says that
the needs for a revision Of the in
surance laws of the District Of Col
umbia both in the interest of the
public and the insurance business
has been strongly emphasized dur
ing the hearing. No change in the
insurance laws Of the District has
been made since 1911. when a small
amendment was passed. and prior to
that no change had been made since
the creation of the department of in
surance in 1902.
The report points out that the
present law Is entirely out of har-
mony with the marine insurance bill
and the need for proper legislation
to carry that law into effect was CALL
ed for. AS a matter of fact, the re-
port says, it would have been. only a
matter of TIME. for legislation would
have had to be enacted to correct the
defects in the present law, which is
out of harmony with modern devel-
opments and practices. Chairman
Focht's report shows that there will
be an increase in revenue amounting
to $6S,100 over the highest estimate
Of revenues under the present law.
He says: "As a revenue producer, it
is found THAI this bill Is one that is
not only fair in the matter of taxes
and licenses to the companies, but
will be productive of a very consider
able amount in excess of the best
possible conditions that could be es-
timated on under the present law"
