HOW TO AVOID GAS
POISONING IS TOLD
Doctor Gives Three Rules for
Escaping Carbon Mon
oxide Fumes.

Three simple rules to guard against
carbon monoxide poisoning were outlin-
ed before the Optimists Club yesterday
at the Hamilton Hotel by DR.. J. Rozier
Biggs, medical examiner for q number
of life insurance companies here.
The first was never run your auto
mobile in a closed garage" the second,
never stay in a room in which cook
ing or heating device is IN operation
burning gas, coal or charcoal, without
having proper ventilation" and the
third, never sleep in room which Is
not properly ventilated"
THE creation of carbon nnonoXide
gas and its effects have long been un-
ineligible to the average mind" DR..
Biggs said. This has been due, how
ever, more to the simplicity Of the sub
ject than to its completely.
Once Viewed as Witchery.
carbon monoxide is as old as fire
and In days gone by the effects Of this
mysterious gas were attributed to
witchery because of the general -ig-
norance of its origin.
1.-The gas is formed by incomplete
combustion of carbonaceouS materials.
In simple terms, it comes from the
burning of these substances without
sufficient oxygen in the atmosphere
where the combustion takes place.
THE gas cannot be seen, has no
odor, is non-irritating and lighter than
air. Therein lies its danger. We
usually are careless of dangers which
warn none of the sense organs. True,
most people have read or heard Of
the dangers of the gas, yet 1t Is
startling to note the high order of in
telllgence Of the persons who are injured
or killed by the poison emitted from
automobile engines.
Most Of Victims Knew.
I'm nearly every case they are per-
sons having knowledge Of the danger
Gus nature of the gas. Many deaths
have been caused by running autono-
bile motors with the garage doors closed,
particularly at this season of the year."
DIR. Biggs cited a number of cases
from reports Of death claims handled
by the companies he represents, and
called attention to practices Of garage
men and householders which needleSsly
expose them to danger Of the gas.
Herbert B. Nevius, president Of the
club, announced that next weeks meet
ing viii be a luncheon dance for the
wives of members Of the club and at
the same time the members will have
book shower for the benefit Of the
library Of the Washington Boys Club.
Plans also were discussed for fare.
well dinner for two members, Francis
Thompson, director Of the Boys Club,
and William st. John. vice president Of
the OptimistS, both OF whom are leav-
ing town shortly. No date was set for
the dinner.

Take your Vitamins straight -
that's the advice Of scientists in these
modern times.
People who depend on the food
they eat for their daily Vitamin re-
quirements are taking q big gamble
they are never sure.
The chemist In McCoy's modern
laboratory takes the Vitamins out
Of pure Norwegian Vitamin- tested
cod liver oil and puts them in sugar
coated tablets.
BY taking your Vitamins straight
you avoid the horrid tasting, greasy
oil-which without the Vitamins has
no real value.
And by taking McCoy's Cod Liver
OIL Extract Tablets you are abso-
lutely sure Of getting your daily sup
ply Of needed Vitamins.
You may not be exactly ill-but you
know you aren't up to par. Perhaps
you are losing weight or your power
OF endurance isn't what it ought to
be.

able means of breaking up a stub III
born, lingering cough. 1t takes but III
q moment to prepare and costs
little, but it gives relief even for
those dreaded coughs that follow II
severe cold epidemics.
From any druggist, get 21k ounces
OF Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle
and fill the bottle with plain granu-
lated sugar syrup or strained honey.
Thus you make full pint of better
remedy than you could buy ready
made for three times the cost. 1t
never spoils and tastes so good that
even children like it.
Not only does this simple mix
ture soothe and heal the infiamed
throat membranes with surprising
ease, but also it is absorbed into the
blood, and acts directly upon the
bronchial tubes, thus aiding the
whole system in throwing off the
cough. 1t loosens the germ-laden
phlegm and eases chest soreness in
q way that is really astonishing.
Pinex is a highly concentrated III
compound of genuine Norway Pine, HI
containing the active. agent of creo- VII

TAKoMA PARK, Feb. 1S.-In-
dications that the Montgomery
county building code viii be
adopted by the town of Takoma
Park in the near future were
given last night at a meeting OF
town council.
The county code. which Is pat
termed after the District OF Co

not apply to Incorporated MUM.
cipalities unless specifically
adopted by the local authorities.
At present building in Takoma
Park is carried on under code
adopted about five years ago. The
inspection work is done by a
town building inspector.
The question was brought pc
fore council by r. G. Sherburne,
chairman of the ordinance ana
judiciary committee. Sherourne
said he thought the town autnor-
tiles should seriously consider the
adoption Of the code so that local
building could conform to that III
the rest of the county and in
the District of Columbia.
Mayor Ben @. Davis said ne
would call a special meeting OF
council within few days so the
Montgomery county code could
be thoroughly checked ana, IL
necessary, amended to fit the
particular needs of Takoma Park
building. He said he thought the
code should be adopted by the
town.
John w. Coffman asked Davis
whether, in the event Of adoption
OF the code by the town, fees for
building inspecting would be paid
to the county or would go into
the town treasury. Davis replied
that if the town puts the code
into effect provision will be made
for inspection by the local build
ing inspector, and that. the fees
would be paid to the town Of Ia
koma Park.
Council, by a unanimous vote,
decided to support the zihlman

to contract with municipalities
outside the District for use of the
new garbage incinerators to be
constructed for the District.
Mayor Davis said that, although
1t appeared that the District au-
thorities were not considering con-
struction of incinerators near Ia
koma Park for some years, the bill
was desirable because it granted
authority which would be needed
if disposal plant Is built in this re-
gion at some future time.
Martin M. Iverson told council
that the footpath on the bridge
over Sligo Creek at Carroll Ave
nue. was badly in need Of repair,
and that there was danger of per
sonal injury unless the necessary
work is done. Mayor Davis di-
rected that immediate repairs be
made.

MART1NSBURG, w. Va, Feb.
1s.-Letters to Commissioner OF
| Agriculture John w. Smith, Of
Charleston and w. z. Rumsey,
State entomologist, from the
Farmers Alliance. of Shepherds
town, an organization created to
resist the cutting of cedar trees
in the Shepherdstown area, have
been answered tacitly by both
parties.
Commissioner Smith, in this
city for the State horticultural
convention, authorized the fol-
lowing statement, regarding the
communication directed to him
by the alliance, asking whether
"the Department Of Agriculture,
which oStensibly exists in the
interests Of the farmer, is to be
conducted In the future for the
purposes Of horticulture alone?"
Law Is Clear
Said the commissioner: MY
duty under the present law Of the
State (the law which permits
the cutting Of cedars as a menace
to apple trees) is clear. While 1t
remains a law Of the State, the
Department of Agriculture will
endeavor to carry it out"
The letter to Rumsey requested
that the names Of the ten peti-
TONERS who asked for the cedar
cutting be given them before cut
ting operations began on the
property of those who signed as
the Farmers Alliance"
Names Available
In reply Rumsey stated: "The
names are matters Of court rec
ord in Jefferson county courts
and in the State Supreme Court.
Those interested are perfectly
at liberty to examine the names
on public record there.
when the first court action
against cedar-cutting was begun
in Jefferson county, the names Of
those signerS were carefully
checked as to whether they were
actually free-holders and property
owners within the meaning Of the
law.

tional court record, also.
THE names are open to ALL"
