There are still a few people who have not learned that oxide is an exceedingly poisonous gas which is present in the exhaust from 2 gasoline engine, in illuminating carbon mon- Zas, in the fumes from open coal or | charcoal fires and in the fumes or products of combustion wherever any fuel 1s burned without a good draft or without a free supply Of air Every little while in the colder season someone, who has not learned about the deadly effect of carbon monoxide, ¥s found dead under or about an automobile, the engine of which has been running for a while in a small closed garage. The air of a small confined auch as a garage, a small kitch: a small bedroom, where a gas b 38 used, will overcome one Wreathes it when there part of carbon monoxide gas i parts of air, and if the person aome by the poison is not immediately discovered and resuscitated, or at least removed to the open air, death is 1fkely to follow quickly According to statistics of the health authorities, there are 18 deaths each year in the city of Buffalo from car- bon monoxide. generally from gas atoves which are not conngcted with the flue Chronic carbon monoxide poisoning is even less commonly recognized than the acute form, for it is seldom directly fatal and its manifestations are, therefore, frequently misinter Preted. A fruitful source of chroni¢ carbon monoxide polsoning, mani- festing itself usually as headache, languor and debility, is the stove or furnace in which anthracite coal is Burned for heating the dwelling, astore, shop or office, especially when the firs burns with closed draft, when any portion of the stove becomes red not, or when there is a slight leak in the flue or chimney . Add to the headache, languor and zeneral debility another interesting x 1 rather characteristic feature of chronic carbon monoxide gas pofson- ing, a pallor resembling the pallor of a marked anemia, and you can readily imagine how often the mean- ing of thess manifestations is mis- taken.

But the only color effect possible in the damask is obtained by simply disposing the threads in such a way as to catch and hold the light here, to break it up into a 1,000 rays there, and to reflect it at different angles.

A peculiar feature of this apparent anemia of chronic monoxide poison- ing is pointed out by Drs. H. B. Beck and W. Forts in a recent con- tribution to Annals of Clinical Medicine. They say that the red corpuscle count in these cases gener- y shows a high figure, often over 5,000,000 corpuscles per cubic milli- meter of blood, whereas from 4,000,- 000 to 4,500,000 is the usual count in the healthy. This high red cell count, with the peculiar palior which would ordinarily suggest anemia, is almost a certain sign of chronic monoxide poisoning. Not that there is any specific treatment for the condition, but it is at least well to know that | the symptoms are not from anemia, undown condition, overwork, worry nd care, nervous exhaustion, or even the ‘climate. In cases of more than ordinary severity, chronic carbon monoxide polsoning sometimes causes mental aberration. The dangerous or deddly effect of this colorless, odoriess, tasteless gas, which burns with a pale blue flame, depends on the fact that carbon monoxide combines with the hemo- globin (red coloring matter) of the red corpuscles and prevents them from carrying oxygen to the body cells and tissues.

EAR DOROTHY DIX: 1am married to a woman whom 1 love dearly and who has always seemed 1o love me, and we have got along beautifully together for a number of years. Unfortunately, my business necessitates my being away from home a great deal of the time, and I recently found that my wife has becomé infasuated with a musician in one of the movie palaces of this city I am handy with the automatic, but before resorting to desperate means to get rid of the thief I would like to try some other plan | of saving my wife and home, if it is possible to do so. Kindly advis HARRY. Answer: 1 should certainly urge you fot to take the automatic route out of your dificulty. It has always seemed to me the height of idlocy for @ good man to wreck his life for the sake of a worthless woman, as a husband does when he kills his wife's lover. It is easy to understand the desire for revenge and the mad ruge at being robbed and betrayed that makes a husband see red and yearn to take the life of the man who has wronggd him. But that savage impulse lasts but for @ moment, and when the bload lust is slaked there are the iong, long years of wreck and ruin of one's plans and happiness to be lved out Far murder is murder and the law is the law, and no matter what a man’s grievance, no matter how justified, no matter even if he is acquitted, the man who takes another's life is ruined. It takes all his fortune to fight through a long murder trfal. 1t breaks his health and nerves, and he comes out branded with the hrand of Cain on his brow No disloyal woman, no light, foolish, frivolous woman, is worth paying such u price for. “Far better to divorce her and let her %0 to her paramour If you want revenge, that is & far subtler one than murder, for nine times out of ten the man doesn't really want the woman and she is a torment to him the balance of his life. The woman gets her just puuishment -in either being scorned and cast aside by the man for whom she has thrown away a good husband and & good home, or else in being married to a man whom i s faithless to her as she was to her husband however, your case is not o'desperate Perhaps your wife has one of those imaginary love cases in which married woemen are prone to Indulge, in which they dream of sheiks and soulmates and try out thelr fascinations in innocuous flirtations justs to see if they stll can arouse the interest of men. These affairs really mean nothing except that the women haven't encugh work to dv to keep them busy and they need a good. hard jolt My suggestion ta you would be to get your wife away from this Lothario for a while. Take her on your next trip with you or send her away on a visit, and the chances are that by the time she comes back she will have forgotten him. DOROTHY DIX [DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Iam a man in the forties, very much in love with a splendid young woman, but there are-three things that make me afrald to pop the question. The first is: Thore are some things about which our opinlons differ, and she can always give good reasons for the stand she takes. Do vou think this would cause ua 1o be'unhappy if we were married? The second is that she maXkes a fine salary. T am afraid that if I should not be able to give her what she is accustomed to having, it might make her unhappy. Do you think s0? Third, while she knows I love her, I do not know whethar she not. What do you think AN UNHAPPY you think it is. loves me BACHELOR. or Answer: “Faint hear! ne'er won fair lady.” Take your courage in your hands and jump into the sea of matrimony. The water is fine. To find out whether the lady loves you or not. You have only to ask her. You shouldn't expect her to wear her heart on her sleeve, and to tell you how wmuch she adores you without your making a pass or two in her direction. You are also too timld if you fall to marry u woman because your opinions and hers do not agree on every point. The “two souls with but a single hought” of whom the poet sang never existed in real life. If they did. they would bore each other to death. Nothing is more unexeiting than It isn't possible for any man and however companionable, however fond of cach © they may be, not to | look at life from different standpoints. It is a matter of sex, of training, of environment, and it is what makes men and women perpetually interesting to each other. Bo it is folly to try to get a wife who thinks just as vou do. : The thing to look out for is not a wife who is a yves-yesser, but one who has enough sense and strength of character to grant you a right to your opinions and for you to extend the same privilege to her Lhowever congenial, | THe husbands and wives who quarrel are those who try to force their views on each other. And one of the advantages of marryving late in life is that age and experience should have taught You to be more tolerant in these matters than boys and girls are. T do not think you need Worry over the money matter. The competent | business woman makes the competent wife, who knows how to make the| most of every dollar. Kurthermore, if she is willing to give up a good job | for you, you may be very sure that she looked into the trade she is making and has decided that you are worth all she pays for you. DOROBPHY DIX. v e s e EAR DOROTHY DIX: I have been married not quite a year. My husband is just kind, and good, and considerate as he can be, and he is perfectly devoted to me. But before we met he had been keeping company with a young lady for three years, and I am perfectly miserable because I ean’t keep from thinking that he still has some tender fefling toward her. He tells me that T am for worrying over it. and that he fell in love | with me when he first met me, and that he hever even thinks of the other | girl, but T can’t get my mind off of her. What shall 1 do> TROUBLED MIND, | Answer: Why don't you try a little Coue treatment or every time your mind wanders toward this other girl, say, every way, I am a bigger and bigger idiot for spoiling my happiness by an imaginary woe"? I think that will cure you, for it will help you to realize just how senseless your imaginary woe is. DOROTHY DIX.
