CARBON MONOxIDE POISONING |

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
Every cold winter takes a toll Of
deaths from carbon monoxide poi
soning. This gas, being colorless,
odorless and tasteless, gives little
warning of the approach of danger.
Carbon monoxide gas is usually
formed wherever there is deficient
combustion of fuel. It is present to
some extent in both artificial and
natural gas, and may form from
charcoal, coal or gasoline. Wher-
ever these fuels are used, one should
be careful that either a large supply
of oxygen reaches the burner, or
that the fumes are carried off by
an unobstructed flue or chimney.
Last year many deaths occurred
to people who remained in closed
garages while their automobile en-
gines were running.
Carbon monoxice gas, when in
hailed, forms a very tight union with
the hemoglobin of the blood and pre-
vents the latter from conveying
oxygen. Degenerativc changes of
the brain cells result quickly, max
ing this poisoning extremely danger
GUS, as the damage persists even
after the carbon monoxide has been
given off by the blood.
The workers Of many trades may
be. subject to chronic monoxide
poisoning. This sometimes occurs
with furnace tenders and miners.
But it is difficult to gather actual
statistics about this condition be-
cause many cases are unrecognized.
The principal symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning are a general
weakness, dizziness and sometimes
headache and vomiting. The SUBJ
ject notices feeling Of drowsiness.
If the monoxide is present in suf-
ficient quantity, unconsciousness will
follow. The skin assumes a Pc
culiar: livid color. The pulse is fast
and weak, and commissions often oc-
cur. After coma has lasted for
twenty-four hours, death is almost
inevitable, and even in cases of re-
covery from this poisoning, there
may be after effects, such as pneu-
monia, paralysis or neuritis.
The treatment should be to give
the patient plenty of fresh air. Arti-
fetal respiration may be necessary.
Most hospitals, fire departments and
gas companies are equipped with
tanks Of oxygen and other apparatus
for giving first aid to these cases.
Blood TRANSMISSION does not seem
to be of assistance and is in many
cases actually harmful. The patient
should be encouraged to use deep
breathing exercises. The diet should
be carefully moderated for the first

HOOvER'S WISE REMARK

It was wise thing that Herbert Hoover told repre-
sentatves of the Republic of Salvador on his recent
visit to La Union.
Our international economic relations can have but
one real foundation" he said. "They can grow only
out OF the prosperity of each of They cannot flour
ish in the poverty degeneration of any of u.s. Our
economic progress is mutual. 1t is not competitive"
That remark represents American ndustralism at
its best And at its bestthat is under wise leader
ndustralism can prove tremendous
force for good in this world 1t is immensely encour-
aging to hear Mr. Hoover express himself in this way

Alester said: "Are you certain?"
"Yes sir" the man replied, not
troubling to lower his voice now.
Alester glanced uneasily at Jerry
but her expression did not tell him
that she had guessed at the import
Of the information he had received.
"He's afraid of Trigger Nolan"
she said to herself. That's why he
wanted to wait until morning to
start!"
"All right" Alester said to her:
well CO."
TERRY took hurried farewells of
y the others in the party and in a
few minutes Alester was humping
his car over the ruts to the gate,
without thought Of the possibility
of breaking his springs.
Jerry knew he had consented to
go only because Trigger Nolan and
his companion had gone In the
other direction.
She did not give thought to the
sort of impression she had made
upon Betty Mortimer. Only one
idea dominated her now-to get to
New York In time to catch the
train for Boston.
She looked at the clock on the
instrument dial and was relieved
to know that there was plenty Of
time. She asked Alester not to
drive so fast. His recklessness was
breathtaking.
He did not slow up. Jerry gripped
the side of the car with her right
hand and said nothing more. II
this was his way Of showing his
displeasure, let him show It!
She had not guessed correctly at
the truth. Alester did not alto
gether trust the waiter who had
told him that Trigger Nolan had
taken the pike to Baltimore.
Jerry ceased to think Of danger
after a while. Large, soft raindrops
splashing on the windshield threat
ened to slow their progress and
gave her q new cause for worry.
There's q garage just ahead"
Alester said, and the car leaped
forward in response to added pres
sure on the accelerator. 1--WE will
stop there and put up the top"
They were getting pretty wet be
fore the garage was reached. The
rain was coming down faster now
Alester suggested waiting until Il
ceased but Jerry was unwilling t.
lose any more time. "You car
drive slow" she advised: "and Il
might rain all night"

had let Alester have his way. Thu
rain was now coming down In tor

that Betty was right. Something
was driving him to utter disregar'

Jerry could see, across the hall,
the two men whose presence had
thrown Alester into a state Of fear.
The act he had requested com.
pletely failed to hold her attention.
She was getting creepy with the
unwholesome sounds and sugges-
tive surroundings.

when the doors were rolled tdbether

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Talking in Sleep

Question: NJ. Y. asks: "What
causes one to talk in his Sleep"
Answer: Talking in ones sleep il
usually due to digestive disorders.
This trouble keeps the sleeper half
way between sleeping and waking
state, and his subconscious mind is
constantly at work. One in this
twilight sleep state is liable to speak
the thought going on in the uncon-
scious mind.
Pleurisy
Question:: Mrs. u. writes: "I
have been told that l have q case of
dry pleurisy. Does pleurisy come on
in attacks being entirely free from
pain, or does it pain most of the
time? ! have severe pain most
all the time under my left shoulder
blade and between my shoulder
blades. It also pains me in my
chest and lungs"
Answer: Pleurisy may be either
acute or chronic. It is due to an
infection Of the membrane which
covers the lungs. Acute attacks often
turn into serious pleural disorders
when adhesions form. Treat the
parts affected with intense heat from
an electric pad or therapeutic light.
and after the pain has subsidized, take
deep breathing exercises to prevent
adhesions from forming.
Codliver Oil
Question: A Reader asks: "When
should school child begin taking
codliver oil? I mean what month
is best? 2"
Answer: Codliver oil may be used
during any month in the year, but
IS usually unnecessary at any time
If the child uses plenty of fresh
green vegetables which contain the
valuable vitamins found in a more
expensive form in codliver oil.

 Don't be too heroic at the start. If you have been accustomed to large amounts of starch, sugar and fat, you cannot immediately be sat- isfied with simply cooked vegetables and fresh fruits.
