" National Assembly at Versailles This National As
semby consisted of the senate and chamber Of deputies
combined.
against three hundred and nine by his nearest competitor
Mr.. Doumergue is considered radical Socialist but mild
So mild indeed that the bulk of the Socialists and rad
cas were opposed to him and he was elected by the
moderate of the assembly, by those who considered
for the traditional policies of France to be main
tanned 1t should not be forgotten that NJ Doumergue
voted for and defended NJ Poncares foreign policy in the
senate and approved Of Frances entry into the Ruhr

After thanking NJ Martin and M. Marsal for their con-
gratuatons NJ Domergue said that he would endeavor

After shaking hands with the and deputies and
the members of the French and foreign press and thanking

by Professor Henderson's state
ment that the reason why we
breathe deeply after any severe
bodily exertion is because the
extra muscular exercise has
burned up an unwonted quantity
Of fuel in the body, thus causing
a certain accumulation Of car.
bon dioxide, which, by its stimu-
lating action on the respiratory
centers produces deep, strong

GARRETT P. SERVISS ON HOW
POISON GAS SAVES LIFE

Persons Suffocated by Asphyxiating Fun
vived by Breathing Carbon Dioxide.

THE unexpectedness with which
l. many discoveries come upon
us is strikingly illustrated by
Professor Yandell Henderson's
new method Of restoring persons
VIII o have been suffocated by as
phyxiating gas. or in other ways.
Who would have guessed that the
same gas-carbon di-oxide-which
is capable of killing If allowed TO
accumulate in the lungs, may also
be used to restore breathing, and
so, life?
1t is one of those cases in
which a little poison acts as a
beneficent agent, though in larger
quantities the same poison Is
mortal in its effects. Carbon d.
oxide is always present in the
breath exhaled by a living per-
son. If many persons are crowd
ed together in a close room the
exhaled carbon dioxide gas even
tually collects to such an extent
that It may produce fainting, and
in extreme cases, death.
The DEMONSTRATING oxygen in
the air Is gradually burned up by
combination with carbon from
the body, and so the atmosphere
becomes surcharged with the del!
ateriotIs gas.
And yet a certain amount OF
this same gas, as Professor Hen
derson has found, is needed in
the lungs and the blood to stimu-
late the nervous centers that con-
troll the operation of breathing.
And, on the other hand, too much
oxygen-although it @be the life
sustaining element par excellence
may in some cases, have rs
fatal effects as too much carbon
dioxide; for. says Professor Hem
derson, II pure oxygen is given to
a person who has been partially
suffocated the respiratory nerve
centers may be depressed to such
a degree that the person will
cease to breathe at all! This may
happen even when only fresh air
is given, unless at the same time
the nerve centers are stimulated
by the presence Of proper
amount Of carbon dioxide.
Upon such delicate adjustments
our lives, in certain emergencies,
depend. Contending elements
keep up alive. That which seems
the especial friend OF life becomes,
in some contingencies, effectively,
it's most dangerous foe while the
other element, which we usually

Last Tuesday afternoon Joe DOlin,

of County Commissions with claim

HIRE TWO DOCTORS
DIR. Sells and StOrkan Get Berth for
Another Year-COmmissiOner Lun-
deem Opposes Hiring Medics.

At the last session of the County
Commissioners held in Plentywood,
beginning Monday afternoon. it was
decided to hire DR.. Storkan and DR..
Sells for the coming year.
Commissioner Lundeen opposed the
hiring of the two doctors and said
that he had stated his position on
the doctor question in Sheridan ccun-
ty and the arrangement as it was at
present was costing the county con-
siderable money and was accomplish
ing nothing for the money expended.
The salary of the health officer and
poor doctor was set at $4,000 each
and after looking over the record of
DR.. Sells in regard to the S75 extra
he drew the past year for looking af-
ter diseased men and women, it was
decided to cut off that monthly al
lcwance.
The doctors seemed greatly pleased
with the handout, but did not say any
thing about trying to earn the money
which was so kindly awarded to then
by the sympathetic commissioners.
