ethylene as an excellent anaesthetic
for human beings which may in
time displace the usual anaestheties
now used in operations, according
to a report published by the En-.
cheering Foundation and prepared
by Doctor William Crocken Of
Yonkers.
Doctor Croker, AZ head Of the
Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant
Research. investigated the reason
that a carnation crop was ruined
three years in succession. Close re-
search disclosed the fact that the
slightest trace of illuminating gas
in the air proves deadly to plants.
One part OF gas in 10000 parts Of
air suffices to kill medium. sized
buds, while one part In 1000
causes open flowers to 'sleep"

Furthermore, Doctor Croker as.

therefore, free from the police and

AT THE MASON H0GRELLE
Restaurant and Grocery Near Camp
coetquidan in Brittany Was Trans
formed by Doughboys.

Near Camp Coetquidan in Brittany
was the town of Guer On the out
skirts of the town was Il combination
restaurant and grocery store kept by
the widow Hogrele. When the first
Americans arrived in the camp it was
possible to get supper of broiled
chicken, with all the tiXingS, done in
the real French style over an open
fire of brush, for francs (about 81,
American). Two young girls, Vivi-
enne and Germaine, assisted in serv-
ing the patrons, says Leonard II. Ma
son. Vivienne was inclined to be a
little fleshy, and Ger2naine had no
teeth, but otherwise they were very
winsOme.
The Americans, however, delighted
in astonishing the French by throwing
20 franc notes about. ordering cham
payne by the dozen and otherwise be-
having as if they were all millionaires.
This had a very demoralizing effect
upon the Maison Hogrelle, and when
the writer returned there in the fall of
1918, after the number of Americans
in France had risen from 100000 to
100000, the price Of a chicken supper
was 40 francs, champagne extra at 10
francs the bottle. Nivienne was wear
ing cOrsets, so that she looked like a
pillow with string tied about its mid
die. and Germaine had a set of false
teeth.-Adventure Magazine.

SAGAClTY OF BLACK BEAR
Guide Called "John Bull" Tells Stories
Of the Animals Marvellous
Cunning.

One of the guides for the Red river
expedition of 1852, called John Bull"
was famous bear hunter and RECALLED
the officers with many stories. One Of
the officers in his journal says that the
guides statements were repeated to
him by several Indians, in whose
Veracity he had much confidence. He
adds: Il have no doubt they are strict
ly true"
The guide said the black bear had
greater sagacity than almost any other
quadruped, says Faunce Rochester.
Before making bed the bear always
goes several hundred yards with the
wind, the officers were told, "at a dis
lance from his tracks" Any enemy
approaching along his track must come
with the wind and be detected by the
animals keen nose
When a black bear hides in a cave
in earth or rock and a hunter tries to
smoke him out the bear will not rush
forth to be shot. but, masked from
view by the smoke, will come as far as
the smOldering fire, put it out with his
forepaws and then return to his hid
ing place.
John, it must be admitted, rather
weakened his case when he described
the behavior of the bear in being pur-
sued by a hunter into a cave.
The hunter, in addition to his rifle,
of course carried a torch. Instead of
being a very dangerous adventure for
the hunter, John insisted the bear, on
OehOlding the light, would sit upright
and hold his paws over his face and
eyes and remain motionless so long as
the torch burned. Without risk, the
hunter approached close and slaugh-
tered the foolish fellow

HEALTH NURSES WORK
Since Resignation of Miss Wal
ker, Miss Getty's Duties
Are Doubled

Since the departure of Miss Ruth
Walker, the Public Health Nurse, who,
much to the regret Of the people of
the county, resigned her work in the
Kitzmiller District, due to ill health,
there has been left but one Public
Health Nurse for the entire county,
Miss Vida NJ. Getty,R. n, of Grants
vile, who may be reached by tele-
phoning Mrs. E. Z. Tower, Oakland;
the Yough Motor Company, Friends
vile, or at her Grantsville residence.
Miss Getty's public health work
thus far has been chiefly with con-
tagious diseases and in public schools.
Sufficient equipment has been Sc
cured with which to begin home nurs-
ing classes. The first to be organized
will be at the FriendsvilIe Health Cen
ter early during the new year. Any
one desiring information regarding
these classes or wishing to join are
requested to get into communication
with Miss Getty.
Miss Getty's winter program is tax
en- up largely with school work which
consists of health inspection Of each
pupil by the nurse, home visits being
made in cases where defects are ap-
parent and where necessary to in
struct the family to consult a physi-
clan.
A portablt scale for measuring and
weighing each pupil has been given
by Prof. F. E. Rathbun, County Su-
perintendent Of Schools.
Rural schools are being visited first,
those school which are more readily
reached to be visited later when the
weather may have become so incle-
ment as to render the country roads
impossible.
Miss Getty's school visits have thus
far included the following: Silver
Knob, Mars Hill, Winding Ridge, Sc
bold, Selbysport, Mill Run, Bishoff,
Elder Hill, Asher Glade and Crellin.
