But deaths from Carbon Mon- "It can produce fatal results in a garage 'it 'was found that Spadina House, Spadina Crescent, Toronto, Ontarie. A prominent business man of Toronto | was recently found dead in his garage, with the engine of his automobile still running. On investigating the case, the conclusion arrived at was that the man's death was due to Carbon Mon- oxide poisoning. Carbon Monoxide has become one of the commonest forms of gas poisoning. In the cities, it is now found that the deaths from this gas exceed those from any other oxide can happen anywhere, This gas can be just as fatal in small cottages out in the country through incomplete combustion in the coal furnace or stove as has been seen when theengine is ieft running and not sufficient ventila- tion provided. The danger involved in running a gasoline engine in a small closed space for any length of time should be recognized by all automo- bile owners. In recent tests on the exhause of a small automobile engine, it discharges ap- proximately twenty-five cubic feet of gas per minute, samples of which gave an average of six per cent Carbon Monoxide or one and one half cubic feet of deadly carbon monoxide gas every minute. Large engines will naturally give off more. A ratio of fifteen parts of carbon monoxide to ten thousand parts of air is considered a dangerous concentration to be exposed to for any considerable time, and a small engine in "warming up" and giving off only one cubic foot of carbon monoxide per minute would contamin- ate the air of a garage 10 feet by 10 feet by 20 feet to the danger point in about three minutes. It is not so very long ago that the newspapers contained an account of a young girl who, while taking a bath, was asphyxiated through having a small heating stove in the bathroom. These accidents occur so unexpectedly that it is well for the public to know the danger of hot water gas heaters becoming an important source of car- bon monoxide in houses, especially where they are not properly connected to an active flue. Soot gradually collects in these services, and may be- come incandescent, thus furnishing ideal conditions for the production of carbon monoxide, which, unless re- moved through the flue, may result in serious accidents. PERG JIS SS SI JE JOE Milk is powerful--powerful as a feed because it can generate energy, and the human system is an engine. ' Just what power a supply of milk has was strikingly demonstrated in Chicago recently, when a locomotive was run by milk. Net a human locomotive either, but an iron and steel engine, pulling a train of five cars for a dis- tance of six miles and carrying two hundred passengers in the coaches. The demonstration was conducted by the Health Commissioner of Chicago just to show what milk could do as a fuel. = The novelty of the test made it all the more interesting, for who would think of milk being able to run an engine? And yet it did run an engine "exposed to the cold Tt shows that all thistalk of hygienists about milk being good food for chil- dren and adults is no idle talk, but that its truth can be forcefully shown. The train in question started from the England Station on the Rock Island tracks and ran to Beverly Hills. The sole fuel was dried milk worked into lumps about four inches in diameter approximately the same size as loco- motive coal. Calculations show that this substance has about the same heat value as medium grades of coal. Several days previous to the running of the Milk Train," a test of milk as fuel was Made Hong © of fh yon AND WILL BE PLEASED TO . ALL. PIES, PASTRY, BUNS, ROLLS LIGHT and DARK FRUIT CAKE. Mi PRACTIC wn | "it is as essential as packing. Although wellpacked, colonies which are subjected to a heavy wind blowing on them for a few hours will have their temperature reduced consideradle tin fact, well-packed colonies which are winds may die while those having less packing but better protection from the winds will survive. When we think of our own house in wind swept areas and of 'lie difficulty keeping the teraperature up in the best constructed nes, we will 'appreciate the necessity of proviiing adequate protection Shoat cold winds for our colonies. Windbreaks may be natural of arti- ficial, and the artificial ones may be either temporary or permanent. Nat- ural windbreaks are considered to he the better. For good natural protec- tion the apiary may be located in the lee of a grove of trees, young timber, an evergreen hedge or on a side hill slanting from north to south, along the top of which a hedge or fence is located. Artificial windbreaks may be tem- porary fences or hurdles, such as are used by the railroads, in which the - boards are placed horizontallr with intervening spaces of 115 to 2 inches They may be permanent fences in which the boards are placed vertically with the above mentioned spacing be- tween them. The object of the open- ings between the boards is to allow some of the wind to pass through, thus preventing a tendency to rise and roll over the fence top into the apiary. The height of these fences should be approximately 8. feet and if possible placed on all four sides of apiary. Buildings, as a rule, should not be re- lied on to break the wind, for they may only divert it and possibly make mat- ters worse. Apart from its advant- ages in winter, a good wind-break facilitates examinations in the sum- mey, when without it strong winds would retard the work. A. H. W.

To give the strange fuel a chance, a "warmed up" engine was taken. The steam gauge registered 135. shovelled in and began to burn vigor- ously. I ever saw inside a locomotive." burns like oil. The steam gauge had started to climb, and when it reached 200, the engineer who had fired the boiler, threw out his chest and said: "I have the honour of being the first man to fire a locomotive with milk." The parallel between milk as human fuel and engine fuel was pointed out, because after all, the human body is essentially a very intricate machine which requires the right kind of fuel as much, if not more, than the iron and steel locomotive that pulls a train of cars on the tracks. If all these, young and old, who now use tea and coffee, would stop using these bever- ages and take pure milk instead, they would soon find an improvement in their general health and would not re- gret adding the right kind of fuel for the delicate engines of which our Dodie are 2 oo posed 1 Hove Reopened My Butcher Si and General at EAGLE RIVER, 10D, Store Ontario MEET MY OLD CUSTGMERS, AS WELL AS NEW ONES, GIVING THE BEST SERVICE TO MAIL ORDERS Receive Prompt Attention. lings, AL BUTCHER" CARTER'S INK, 10c. bottle for ERR ee 0 WAX CRAYONS qo. box for i. as. viii aa i INDELIBLE PENCILS, Venus best, 15¢., three for... 25 PENCIL.
