Making a fool O. himself by following his wife's ad- vice, losing a good job he has been trying to get for years, knocking the block off a man whom he thought had stolen his car, getting arrested for being drunk and dis orderly, are a few of the things that make life interesting if not | pleasant for him and vastly anus ling to the audience. Sanford Dodge the director Of the comedy, will ap- pear in this role.
 There are several other delightful characters in the play. All have been placed in competent hands.

MOOSE COMEDY HAS NUMEROUS
 AMUSING ROLES
Cast of Ability Chosen for Interesting and Enter
 taining Characters

Interesting and amusing charac- ters are depicted in Keeping Up With the Joneses," the comedy to be presented at the Coliseum Theatre the evening of october 2S under auspices of the Juneau lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose.
 Anne" is the kind of a girl who knows everything She doesn't hesitate to tell the other members of the Jones family where to get off whenever she feels in the mood. When the going gets rough, Anne tries to smooth things out and her efforts end in complications, which add to the general confusion, and cause much laughter for the audi ence. Elsie Jensen will play this rcle most satisfactorily.
 Type of Modern Fiapper
 Mildred Ellis" is type of mod ern flapper of the rising generation As it takes all kinds of people to make the world, so it requires many types of characters to make suc- cessful comedy, and Mildred is in a class by herself. Mildred must be seen to be appreciated. Muriel Jar man has this delightful role.
 What is home without a mother? That's the way it was at the Joneses. They wouldn't have any home at all if it were not fol mother, Mrs Henry Jones' This role requires genuine dramatic tai ent, and it is fortunate for ths production that Katherine Jarmar is cast for this part. Her dramatic ability will do much to make tht performances successful.
 Water Pipes Leak
 The water pipes are leaking II the Jones' home so two plumber are called in to repair them. A! usual the plumbers seem to b. born tired which exasperates Mrs Jones as they are paid by tn hour. George T. Shaw and F Battello will impersonate the plumb CTS perfectly.

DIET AND HEALTH
By LULU HUNT PETERS, M. D.

I will explain that the term carbon
monoxide" means a molecule composed
OF one part of carbon and one part of
oxygen. 1t is given of when artificial
or natural gas or coal or wood or other
fuel is not burned completely-that Is.
when it Is not receiving sufficient oxy-
gen so that complete combustion results.
When there is suficient oxygen supplied
to the fuel so 1t does burn completely, a
gas of carbon and oxygen Is also
formed, but 1t consists of one part OF
carbon and two parts of oxygen. Thus
gas Is carbon dioXide, but Is better
not dangerous. But carbon monoxide,
even in very small amounts, is very per-
nicious.
Fatal cases of poisoning from carbon
monoxide have been caused by fires
burning low. without suficient oxygen
supply. in an unventilated room. 1t is
said that lola died from fumes from a
coal hre in this manner. Another
source of danger that is not SO well
known Is turning gas burner down low
at night when the pressure is high;
then when the pressure Is lowered in
the morning by being used, this low
flame may go out, leaving the gas es-
Gaping. It Is not safe to sleep in a
closed room where there Is q lighted
gas burner.
Another modern source of danger ]
must speak of is keeping the garage
doors closed during the cold weather
while working on a running auto en-
CINE.
The treatment Of carbon monoxide
poisoning is artificial respiration In the
fresh air and oxygen inhalation II II
can be secured.

Carbon Monoxide.

Dear Doctor: If a person at some
time Is overcome by gas, then RECEIVERS
without apparent injury, can the pa
tent later become a victim of tubercu-
losis? M
Any one can become a victim of
tuberculosis II his resistance is low and
ne contracts the germs of tuberculosis,
or even II his resistance is high and he
contracts Sufncient number of viru-
lent germs, NJ. Whether one who has
been poisoned by carbon monoxide gas
has had his lungs weakened thereby
and so Is more susceptible, would de-
pand upon his own general resistance
and the degree Of poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is rather rapidly
given OF II the patient Is put into pure
air land more rapidly IL oxygen is adj
ministered) and the oxygen carving
power of the hemoglobin is restored.
Forbes states the probability is that in
a young, healthy adult there Is COM
plete recovery If the poisoning hasn't
been severe enough to cause death.
Carbon monoXide Is not poisonous
like other gases. in that II does not burn
or mutilate. The reason it is poisonous
Is that 1t combines with the hemoglobin
of the blood so much more rapidly than
oxygen $500 times) that IL cannot carry
oxygen, and the deaths and injuries are
believed due solely to this lack OF
oxygen.

posure TO carbon monoxide poisoning

THE STRANGER

A stranger with an oily tongue comes
TO our village now and then, and when
he leaves my friends are stunR. and
they bewail lost iron men. The stranger
has gaudy smile, he is not rude. he
Is not blunt, and he conceals his stock
OF guile behind a bland and urbane
front. The stranger has a gorgeous
scheme which will enable all good
wights to get the wealth of which they
dream when they're in bed on Winter
nights. Our village has some indus
cries which might succeed with timely
AID; we have factory making cheese.
q joint for bottling lemonade. We
nave q gristmill that might grind most
all the grain that ever grew, II citizens
would stand behind and boost it as
they ought to do. We have a first-class
planning mill that gives employment to
three lads, and it would do more busi-
ness still II men would back it with
their ScadS. Good boosters urge us to
invest our coin in industries at home
and not blow in our treasure chest for
stock In gypsum plants in Rome. Our
village industries don't thrive, they are
as Sickly as can be, for few will dig up
kopecks five to help the plants they
daily see. We know the men who run
these plants, we call them Jim and
Dick and Joe, we know their nieces
and their auntS. and they can't have
our hard-earned dough. The smiling
stranger comes along. with tales of
money grown on trees, of mines and
and things ike these. And all the
money We can ind we hand him, all
the iron men; and when he leaves the
town behind, We sadly see we're stung
again. WALT MASON.

anecdote OF his youth, when his father

And he proved this to be the case,

eloquence brought him a warm welcome
In the assembly and he decided to make

Mirabeau, who, although belonging to
the nobility, had espoused the cause
