Poison Gas as a Life Saver

Through experiments with
chlorine gas army chemists have
established the fact that epidem-
les of influenza, grip or colds
may be checked almost instantly,
it is stated, through the intro
duction of weak concentrations
of the gas into the rooms occu-
pied by those who are to be ex-
posed.
The mustard gas is a specific
for tuberculosis apparently has
been demonstrated by the expert
ments conducted under the Tir-
ectlon of Lieut.. Col. Edward B.
Vedder, of the army medical
corps. Guinea pigs inoculated
with tuberculosis germs anG with
certain concentration of mus.
tard gas apparently were rem
dered immune by the gas and
all failed to contract the disease.
At the same time, an equal num-
ber of guinea pigs inoculated
with the tuberculosis germs, and
not subjected to the mustard
gas treatment, all contracted
the disease.
As a result of experiments in
the burning gas known as Lewis.
ite, army chemists have evolved
what appears to be an efficacious
remedy, I i not an jafallible cure,
for paresS und iocomotor ataxia.
Lewisjts is a burning gas COM
posed of arsenic and aqetylene
gas.
! DR.. Lovenhart' of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, has the re-
cords of some forty-two cases of
persons committed 70 hospitals
for the insane with paraesis. OF
that number twenty-one have
been entirely cured and have
left the hospital and taken up
lucrative employment, and.seven
bid fair to soon be discharged as
cured.
Judging from the above it is
possible that poison gas. one Of
the horrors Of the late war, may
ultimately save more lives thar
it has destroyed or ever will des
troy. II may. indeed. prove t.
be . great blessing to humanity,
and especially SO if war, which
gave it birth can be abolisha3

in time and money from her experience.
I was a nervous. delicate wreck upon

half cupful of milk and a little salt.
Dip the sandwiches in the egg and fry

Bits of leftover ham from a boiled
ham may be prepared in SO many
ways to make appetizing dishes. Two
t~ablespoonfuls of minced ham added
to a white to use as a covering
for broiled lamb chops to be fried is
one most delicious dish.
A tablespoonful of ham added to an
omelet makes it more n%ourishing and
changes a plain omelet into a different
dish. Added to biscuit dough, they
make a tasty hot biscuit. Added to
macaroni, rice or spaghetti, one has
a good favored dish. There are n
number of good things which will oc-
cur to the cook. Ham makes delight
full filling for stuffed peppers or to-
matoes. These are but few, of the
many ways a few spoonfuls of ham
may be utilized.

Of peas through a sieve, add a pint Of
