Open Coffin to Take
Ruddy's Finger Prints

A coffin was opened recently at
Pueblo, Colo, just as the grave yawned
to receive 1t, to get the finger prints OF
a former service man t accompany his
application for adjusted compensation.
Friends of John McNichOl, of Durango,
Colo, were grouped about the grave
when an automobile drove up and a
group of American Legion men stepped
from it. They made known their re-
quest. which was complied with.
During his last hours McNichoEs
friends made out his application papers
for compensation. He was so weak
that he could only afix a scrawled
mark to the papers in the presence of
witnesses. At the last minute it was
discovered that his finger prints had not
been obtained and the posthumous fin
ger prints were taken.

LEAD POISONING

r FAD poisoning is n of the COM
- monest diseases due to occupa-
ton. 1t is found among painters.
plumbers and many other workmen
who handle or use some form of lead
in their work. A recent article or
lead poisoning lists over $50 occupa.
tons in which cases have occurred.
Lead poisoning is also found among
persons who have been poisoned by
foods containing lead or cooked in
vessels lined with an enamel contain
Ing lead or by drinking water which
has stood for some time in lead pipes.
Lead poisoning does not come on
su idenly. but so slowly as to cover
weeks or even months. The patient
is constipated, always tired, has no
appetite, has cramp-like pains In his
muscles, especially in the calves. His
tongue is coated, he has a foul breath,
is pale and loses weight. Soon a blue
line appears on the gums, just above
the edge. This is the certain and
characteristic sign of lead poisoning.
IL the patient, at this stage, finds
out that he is being poisoned and re-
moves the cause, or gives up the
harmful work, takes frequent warm
baths, eats good food, taxes tonics and
laxatives, he may recover without any
further harm. But If the poisoning
goes on without being treated. he is
apt to have an attack of lead collie or
painters collie as it Is sometimes
called. This is a sudden, severe pain
in the abdomen, like acute collie, ac-
companied by constipation and fol-
lowed by diarrhea. The pain may
last for several days, disappear and
return in two or three weeks.
Finally, the poisoned person may
have a paralysis of n or more groups
of muscles. The muscles which
straighten out the fingers may first
be paralyzed, then the group which
opens the hand, and finally the muscles
which st~raighten the wrist, so that it
is impossible to raise or close the
hand, which hangs lifeless from the
wrist. This is called wrist drop"
The patient is unable to use his
hands. Just why lead poisoning should
~paralyze the muscles which the paint
er or plumber specially needs in his
work, no one knows. but these are
the muscles most generally affected.
Persons handling or using nair dyes.
paints or even some forms of face
powder may also have lead poisoning.
Those whose work makes it necessary
to handle lead or anything containing
it should be especially careful to wash
their hands always before eating, mo-
to eat in the work shop, to protect
their food from any contact with lead
and to ave.d breathing dust which
may contain lead.

Too Many Cannot See
Finer Aspects of Life

One autumn evening al sunset two
lei were lettering on the picturesque
old bridge at Battersea, England. One
Of them was a writer, Woodworking
but unsuccessful.
The river was at a low stage, at
least three-quarters ebb, and on each
side of it there were patches of shin
ing mud that reflected the glorious
western sky. which turned the ooze
into a mass Of wonderful colors.
Though the writer was hungry. he
forgot his hunger as he stood there
watching. He was pleased to see the
other man also watching.
Presently the other man edged a
little closer to the writer and re-
marked. Throws up a cap Of mud,
don't she?"
1t was not the sunset that he was
seeing, but the mud. The glory that
was thrilling one was lost on the
other.
The world is there in those two men.
They are representative the whole
world might be ranged behind one or
the other-those who see the mud and
those who see the glory. In life ev-
erythlng depends on the eyes we look
with, and it is worth while to sacrifice
almost all else If we may only get the
right sort of eyes. Modern realism,
so-caIled, is often the ability to see
only mud. 1t is also a form Of blind
ness, the inability to see the nner,
purer aspects Of life.-Youth's Com

War Memories Fade With Passing Years

The memory of the war days Is fad
Ing from the mind of the world The
100000 dead lie in their graves, but
life goes marching on. Self-preserva-
ton, vital interests. new and exciting
problems. the human whirligig, are too
absorbing for a continual bark back to
the thought of that mortality. We are
no longer conscious of any gap In the
ranks of youth, torn Out by the ma
chinery of destruction. We do not
realize the loss of all that spirit,
genius, activity and blood, except In
private remembrance Of some dead
boy whose portrait in uniform stands
on the manteIshelf. Sir Philip Gibbs
writes in Golfers.
A new generation Of youth has
grown up since the beginning of the
var. Boys of ten at that time of his
tory are now twenty. and not much In
terested in that old tale. Girls who
we're twelve are now mothers of babes.
The warl Bother the warl Let's for
oct II and get on. with life. In that
youth is right. 1t is not In its nature
nor in moral, health to dwell on morbid
memories. But 1t is hard on those
whose service is forgotten-so soon
In England-ten years after-there
are still $4,000 wounded soldiers in the
hospltals-and in France great num-
hers more; but they are hidden away,
as a painful secret of things that hap
nened. Only now and again the sight
If their hospital blue in some quiet
country lane, near their hiding places,
shocks one with a sharp stab of re-
morse.
We had forgotten all that We hate
TO be reminded of 1t.
Even the men who fought through
those. years seldom speak of their ex-
nerience. 1t is fading out of their own
minds. though it seemed un~forgettable.
They are forgetting the names of the
villages in France and Flanders,
where they were billeted, or where
h fought, or where they passed a
hundred times with their guns and
transport under shellfire. Good
eheavens don't you remember that

PHYSIQUE Value

When Frank A. Vanderlip was pre-
siding over the largest financial insti-
tuition America has ever known, the
National City bank of New York, he
said:

take into account both Ms physical
