HEW CAS KILLS OR LEAVES VICTIM INSAKE

Germans Have New Terror They Are Dropping on Besieged Towns In Northern Prance.

HAZTJfcnOUCK. Franco. Aug. 0.— British medical pfflcers are trying to determine the nature of the new puison used. It is believed, for the first time by the Germans on the French town of Armentleres, near the Belgian frontier. The poison bore a certain resemblance to the gas which temporarily blinded a large number of British troops a fortnight ago, but its effects are infinitely more serious.

A number of persons taken from Armentleres are in a grave condition. -Many have died in hospitals at Hazebronck, Air-on-the-Lys and particularly at St. Pol-on-the-Tenpolse, •w here most of the victims were taken.

Produces Heavy Gas.

The first time the new poison was observed It coincided with the firing: into the town of a hail of small shells of a calibre insufficient to break the paving. These contain neither powder nor gas by a colorless liquid which f-preads over the soil. In the streets rnd in court yards and gardens, where the shells burst, traces of the noxious liquids may be found hours afterv.ards.

As the liquid evaporates it produces a heavy «as which penetrates from room to room and descend* into cellars. It is tenacious in character nnd seems to make more victims nmong women than men, closing about their hair. 3'he fumes of tobacco seem to act as an antidote in the case of man.

The odor is variously described as resembling that of acetylene, mignonette or pungent mustard. Its effects are not immediate, gome inhabitants of Armentiereres who inhaled the emanantlons in the forenoon returned home without experiencing any ill effects and took luncheon, but five or six hours' later they were obliged to take to their beds and their condition became rapidly worse.

Death Or Insanity.

The victims at first were effected in

11.e

bronchial tubes, then their eyes swelled and eventually they lost their night. These symptoms were accompanied by a feeling of burning inside and an incessant cough and fever. The skin turned an earthy color and in several cast s death followed rapidly. Occasionally, in addition to the symptoms mentioned, the victims were affected by terrible hallucinations and delirious laughter.

KAISER IN SCHOOL BOOKS.

Being Eradicated By the Pupils of the Chicago Schools. CHTCAGO, Aug. 9.—Although Mayor Thompson's new school board declined to remove a page audatory of the kaiser from the eighth grade speller, the page is being "strafed" anyway by the youngsters themselves.

Every mail brings mutilated pages lorn from the speller to the newspapers. Often they are aoconapanled by childish letters. Writes one: "My brother is & first class yeoman in the navy, so you *see how I feel about the speller."

The torn pagr© was enclosed and hope expressed that "all other boys and girls will do the same."

Little Helen Merry wrote: "Here's my page, I have no further use £or it."

EXEMPTION DATE CHANGED.

The selection board of Division No, 1, which has charge of the city south of Wabash avenue, announced Thursday a change in the rules applying to time in which the men -who have been ordered to appear next week, may file claims for exemption. The notices to the men state that exemption claims must be filed within seven days after date on the .notice. The date on the notice was Aug. 6, but the board has decided to» receivo exemption claims up to Tuesday night.

Thursday the board was investigating the claims for exemption.

Among the craft to be raised are: The sidewheeler Emerald, sunk in a slip at Ashland 24 years ago the lumber carrier Coffinberry, abandoned at Ashland six years ago the ore carrier Sevona, which broke in two on San Island shoal 12 years ago.

SEEK TO RECOVER TRUNK.

The first, civil suit filed in City Court under a new law passed by the legislature was that of John P. Steele and Marie E. Steele against the WellsFargo Express company. They sued Thursday to recover one trunk. Whitlock and Owens are the attorneys.

Equipment Necessary to Give Best Results

No Matter How Experienced a Mechanic May Be His Knowledge Is Worthless Without Tools.

Can you imagine a machine shop rendering satisfactory service to its customers without the necessary equipment0 Then, if equipment Is to be consider as necessary as experience in the repair of machinery doesn't it seem as necessary to have a properly equipped office if one is to repair the human machine? If expert workmen must be employed to adjust an automobile shouldn't the man who is to adjust the human machine take advantage the best training possible and equip himself mentally and with scientific machinery in order to give the best possible service to his patients? These things are obvious—and they are the things religiously observed by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, chiropractors.

There is not a chair, not a fable, in fact not a single thing in their office equipment that does not assist them In properly adjusting the disorders of their patients' spines. Nor is there a single thing that should be there which has been neglected. Our motto is "Our patients' welfare -first." Whatever our patients demand we furnish. We attended the Palmer Fountain Head School of Chiropractic, Davenport, la. Why, because it was the best school in the world. True it cost more time and money than other schools, but this increased cost was one of the best indications of its real merit. After her graduation Mrs. Thomas returned to the school and took a post-graduate course in spinography, the photography and reading of plates or pictures of the human spine. This machine has proven time and time again the true conditions of the spine, and no other method approaches it for absolute and perfect analysis. We then Installed an X»-Ray machine of the latest and best desisrn. Patients who have had splnographs taken and read by Mrs. Thomas have speedily i^covered after taking adjustments according to the reading.

Our cheerfully furnished reception room, with its big electric ceiling fans, is pleasantly cool and inviting these warm days Our separate dressing and rest rooms, equipped with sanitary comfortable couches, are really resting and cool. Separate rooms are furnished for women and men but the same idea Is carried out in both— rest, relaxation and comfort. Different adjusting rooms are used—one for men exclusively, the other for women only. Our large home is furnished and ready to accommodate out-of-town patients who may room here while taking adjustments.

Our X-Ray photographing room and developing room are wonders in themselves. Our adjusting tables are raised and lowered by pneumatic air pressure, thus avoiding the strenuous work experienced in reclining and arising from the ordinary style table.

In fact, Mr. and Mr* Thomas have gone Into their work heart and soul. They have attended the best school in the world to understand the disorders of the human spine. They have equipped their office properly in order that their training may bear the proper fruit. Now, the rest is up to you. If you are sick consult them. Remember, whether you believe in their science or not makes no difference. Tour faith is unnecessary. But, will you be fair enough to yourself and them to give them the same chance you have given exponents of other sciences?

STATE CAN REGULATE PRICE ASKED FOR COALi

Ohio Attorney-General Hands Down Important-Opinion In the Matter.

COLUMBUS, O.. Aug. The state legislature has full power to regulate the prices of coal and foodstuffs in Ohio, according to an opinion given today by Attorney-General Joseph McGhee to H. H. Timby, state senator from Ashtabula.

Many people about the state capitol took the attorney-general's opinion to foreshadow possible price regulatory legislation before the contemplated session of the Ohio legislature next winter.

In his opinion. Attorney-General McGhee held that coal is a commodity, a supply of which is necessary to the public health and for the economic welfare of the public generally. In view of this and the fact that the United States is at war, whioh is an abnormal condition, Mr. McGhee held that the legislature could enact pricefixing laws for coal, subject to certain limitations.

Senator Timby did not request an opinion as to food price regulations, but the attorney-general's opinion held that food and coal are in the class and that food as well as coal prices could be regulated by the legislature.
