An Aroused Public Opinion the Best a nurse. T h ea t re Ethel Clayton “Wealth” Wallace Reid Preventive of Forest Fires B y RO GER W. TOLL, Colorado Mountain Club The campaign against forest fires is essentially one of publicity ami education. When all of the people recognize the needless destruction of our natural resources by preventable forest fires, every individual will ex ercise the care necessary to prevent such fires. To check and extinguish a forest fire, once it has a head start, is a difficult matter, but to prevent the start of such a fire is.extremely simple. During the past five years, the campers in the United States have been responsible for more than 20,000 forest fires. Greater care in completely extinguishing camp fires and less carelessness witli cigars, cigarettes and matches, will prevent the tremendous loss due to these causes. An aroused public opinion is a most efficient remedy aud will greatly decrease the necessity for the detection and punishment of the individuals who may continue to endanger the safety of our public welfare and our valuable heritage of timber resources.

Kreamer t INDEPENDENCE, OREGON See window fo r display Use of Poison Gas in World War Child’s Play Compared to Future A H e a lth y C o n d itio n By BRIG. GEN. A. B. F R IE S , Chemical W arfare Division A strong- demand has sfttung up for city propertv. Not only have a number of deals been closed recently but the demand and number of inquiries for Independence homes indicate a healthy condition of affairs. Let us help you get located before winter approaches. The use of poisonous gas at the end of the World war was a child’s game compared to what it will be in the future. The old type cloud ga- fhat required the burying of cylinders in deep trenches, requiring tie work of man« men for many days to prepare an attaek, is obsolete, hut the mod em method is a totally different nunter. A new American invention is the toxic smoke candle. It is a solid, safe and foolproof. It may be crushed, smashed, or punctured with bullets or shells without harm. It is only when a fuse is lighted and a healing mixture is agitated that a gas is given off. The candles may be very light or they may be heavy; they can be an »mall as to be carried in a knapsack, or so large as to require the efforts ut many men. Its attacks are highly efficient, more than 50 per cent of the total weight being poisonous gas. Then there is a liquid gas, called “ Dew of Death.” If three drops of this liquid gas be absorbed into the skin, it will cause death in most, cases, while smaller quantities will put a man in the hospital. This gas and the rnmmon mustard gas, which likewise bums the skin, can be sprinkled from airplanes in practically unlimited quantities. INDEPENDENCE REALTY CO.
