Cold weather "don'ts" of the past
have been inoressed this year with a
new one by the ventilation experts, It
is that you • melte were your gamic is
properly ventilated or your relatives
May have to 'call an undertaker. Dead-
ly carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas
given off by automobile engines in mo-
tion, has taken a big toll of human
lives in the Oast in the case of chauf
'surs or ear owners who failed to
realize that working in a poorly ventil
cited or closed garage: with the engine
running was • really as foolish as
"'blowing out the light" in the good
old days,
New discoveries of the virulence of
carbon monoxide recently have been
made by Prof, Yendell 'Harrison and
other engineers working to solve the
problem of ventilation for the pro-
posed vehicular tunnel under•. the Dod-
son River, Among their tests was one
to show the effect of the •gm when it
is confined in closed spaces. A. sum-
mary of their observations, with par-
ticular reference to garages, appears
in The Journal of the American 1lfedi-
cal Association,
It is shown that if the quantity of
carbon monoxide in air did not exceed
three parts in 10,000 no physiological
effects were produced. Between three
and six parts to the 10,000 the effects
were hardly perceptible, Above that,
headache and nausea were induced, in-
creasing in severity with the rising of
the ratio and when it reached16 to
the 10.000 life was in jeopardy.
Motor car owners and operators are
warned that an engine emits a square
foot of the deadly gas a minute when
fn notion, and in three minutes the
air in a closed garage is surcharged to
a sefftcient degree greatly to imperil
human life, The victim falls uncon-
scious 'before be realizes he is in peril
and death is the eeteente unless he is
speedily rescued and brought into the
open air,
4,. Brake Adjustment,
When the par, owner has inatallod on
his vehicle a winter body of any type
he should remember that be has added
considerable weight to the vehicle. For
this reason it is necessary that he
carefully adjust the' brakes to care for
the added burden. Neglect of .this .ob-
vious precaution causes many minor
rear. -end collisions in city driving and
may contribute to serious accident.
Hints for Driving in Cold Weather
"Winter care of the moter car is a
pertinent subject of the season," says
an expert. "With the approach of the
time when winter weight underwear
makes its appeal, motor cars, too, call
for heavier clothing, Many devices
for keeping the heat in and the cold
out are available to the automobilist.
Radiator and bonnet, covers and'.shut-
ter devices for the cooling systems
are to be had in various ' states of
elaborateness. They can be had in
cloth, leather and metal, according to
the demand of the temperature and
the pogketbook of the car owner.
"Another winter precaution is taken
with the cooling mixtures. Water
alone will freeze, therefore it is neces-
sary to acid alcohol and glycerine to
the radiator's contents. If calcium
chloride Is used it may 'be dangerous
to the metal in the radiator, as this
salt will set up a chemical action,
Draining the radiator and putting in
a supply of alcohol, glycerine and
water will stop freezing."
The Empire's Greatest • Sea Story
The Old Sea -Warriors, Whose Daring Made Britain "Queen
of the Seas," Never Did Anything Finer Than the
Glorious 'Feat of Stopping Up the Bolt -Holes of the
Enemy Raiders During the Great War.
One of the most splendid, desperate,
and truly British feats. of the Great
War, Is vividly dealt with in a recently
pablished volume, which gives to the
admiring world an authentic account
of the blocking of Zeebrugge.
In 1917 the submarine blockade was
going strong; raids by light craft on
our coastal shipping and seaports were
annoying if net successful; moreover,
the enemy had their depot ready to
hand ---the .occupied Belgian ports of
Zeebrugge and Ostend.
A suggestion had been put forward
for the blocking ot Zeebrugge in the
previous year. But it was not until
the end of 1917 that the plan was de-
finitely formed and passed by the
Lords :of the Admiralty. They laid
down a well -thought-out scheme for
the bottling of German craft he these
barbers, and closing them against the
entry of others.
The. Armada of 1918,
The whole story of the great scheme
Is fully told by Captain Alfred F. B,
Carpenter, V.C., 13.N., who commanded
H.M.S. Vindictive during the heroic
operations. It is impossible in one
single article even, to deal with it brief-
ly. But the part played by H.M.S,
Vindictive epitomises the spirit of the
deed.
Altogether 102 vessels took,part in
the raid. Among them were the Vin-
dictive herself; submarines loaded
with explosives to blow up the railway
viaduct leading to the Mole; block -
ships full of cement, which were to be
sunk in the channel of= the port; mo-
torboats to. operate the smoke screen:
monitors- to bombard from the see:
and all sorts of craft to help in as
ninny different ways as there were.
vessels.
Even the heaviest 'guns on the
northern flank of our armies in Finn -
dors were to be used, to stimulate the
opening of a land attack.
All this great Armada successfully
approched one of the strongest coast
positions of the enemy, and carried
out perhaps the most daring plan ever
conceived.
Victory in the Balance, ,
"One can Mature the situation as
seen from the Mole Itself," writes Cap-
tain Carpenter. "A hostile vessel sud-

which resulted; the commencement of
fire, the 'bursting of shells on the wall,

At one, minute past midnight the

the Mole, the force or the butter, tieing

fender oil the port baw. Under a per.
feet storm of fire, she lay there wait-

push her closely against the Mole and
hold her there.
Then the landing parties received
the long enperted order; "Storm the

Very different story to tell regarding
the fate of the Vindictive.
Destroying the Viaduct.
Immediately the gangways which
had been provided were in position a
party of seamen stormed the Mole.
Their first business was to secure the
ship to the wall by means of grappling
anchors. But, owing to the heavy
swell, these failed to answer their pur-
pose. Hence; throughout the whole
affair, the Daffodil hid to hold the Vin-
dictive in place.
The high outer wall of the Mole,
towering above the upper deck, now
protected the hull of the vessel from
gunfire. The Vlatdictive's guns in her
fighting -top were directing a murder-
ous fire into their special ta=rgets, chief
among which were the heavy gun bat-
tery on the broad part of the Mole and
the lighter battery on the lighthouse
extension.
On the inner side of the Mole was
berthed a German destroyer, immedi-
ately
mmediately abreast the Vindictive, and our
guns riddled the German vessel
through and through.
The Vindletiv,e's_ fighting -top re-
ceived great attention from the enemy

crash overhead told tjiat a heavy shell

ed the whole fighting -top and killed all
the personnel save two gunners, both
of whom were severely wounded.
The only survivor who was not com-
piietely disabled, without a thought for
his own wounds, carried on:the fight
with the remaining gun until a second

ly out of soften,

gan their work, directing their shells
upon the . enemy's batteries .-less than

A few minutes after the stomping of
the Mole had commenced, a terrific
explosion was seen away to the west-
ward. Nothing could be heard of it on
account of the terrific noise of the gun-
fire
unfire and the shells exploding in and
around the ship.
But the gallant crew guessed at
once, and rightly, that the submarine
party had attacked the railway viaduct
leading from from the shore to the
Mole, The Hames shot up to a terrific
height; the viaduct was out clean
through.
Within about half an hour af=ter mid-
night the Vindictive had completed
the greater part of her mission, the

Among the onset common. afflictions •Is
that of an unusually red nose. In many
cases this can be traced to a faulty di-

When the stomach is empty the nose is
apt to become very red; therefore It Is
well to immediately take some nourish-
ment wherethis condition Is noticed, A
glass of hot water or hot milk will be
found most beneficial. Also ;strict atten-

beef, mutton and fresh vegetables should
be eaten, butonly a small supply of
sugar is advised.
Upon. the condition of the nasal pass-

The thorough cleansing of the nose,
particularly in the morning, is really
more important ..than the face. The
neglect is often the cause of catarrhal
troubles. while the daily washing, with
salt and water etrengthens the mucous
lining' and clears the head. If one is
afflicted with catarrh, water should
never be sniffed up the nostrils, the gen-
tle use of an atomizer being better.
Exercises for •-note. breathing are of
great value. The following is very.; sim-
ple and
impleand should be practised at least four
times a day, in the open air If possible.
Put one fingerover'one nostril.auct In-
hale slowly through the ether; then
place the finger over the other nostril,
exhaling through the nostril that was
first. closed.
Broadened nostrils are also most un-
sightly and with daily care may easily
be remedied. Close the nostrils at the
base with the finger tips and. breathe
gently through the upper pant, exhaling
in the same manner. When there is a
tendency for the corners of the moytl
to settle at the base in the little creases'
the face should be gently and regularly
massaged at the 'base of tile nose to
eliminate the hard lines that are apt. to
form from the nose to the' corners of the
mouth. If the nostrils are thick or too
open gently but firmly press them to-
gether with the finger tips.
Enlarged pores may be overcome first'
by using a good `cold cream at night and
washing the surface with warm water
in the morning, Before applying any
powder use firet an astringent, followed
by a small quantity of vanishing cream.
This will make a base so that only a
small quantity of powder is required and

'The petty -officer of one or our 6 -
