LOOKING AHEAD

Gen. John ]. Pershing, who was
commander of the A. E. F. forces dur
ing the World war, said much of deep
meaning in his Armistice message to
the country through the North Amer
lean Newspaper Alliance. Among
other things Gen. Pershing said, 1T
is well to memorabilia the past, but
it is equally important to take thought
of the future. World conditions are
still far from ideal. All classes of
Americans must continue the great
battle for peace.
above all it is the sacred obliga-
ton of every citizen to do his part

MONOXIDE GAS CLAIMS ANOTHER

Monoxide gas in a garage in which
he changed a tire caused the death
recently, of a resident of Eau Claire,
Wis. Even though the motor might
not have been running at the time it
evidently had left it's deadly fumes
and in sufficient quantities to destroy
life.
One should see that the garage is
ventilated sufficiently to carry the
fumes away from the exhaust and out
of the building or better yet get the
car in the open air as soon as pos
sible after starting the motor. Too
great emphasis cannot be placed on
this precaution since it is the cause
of great loss of life at this time of
each year.
