In addition to taking- this treatment, he laid his plans to put on a "firs ride." which he had conceived as a stunt, and went ahead . without notifying anyone except a Helper. He admitted afterward that he had never tried the thing before "In pub lic." but he thought he could make It II right. He wore over his underwear two pairs of sox. two pairs of overalls, a. corduroy suit and over these he poured half a gallon of gasoline. Hone Refuses to Itaau So equipped, he lighted himself and inounted bis horse, expecting that he rode down the track, the breeze thus created would fan the flames away from him. When the horse re fused to run. these flames shot up over his neck and face. The attend ants, not knowing what he had pre pared to do. did not realise his danger until he was badly burned. They then ran him down, covered him with blanket which he had provided as his sole protection and tried to hold him. He had Inhaled some of the fumes by that time and broke away from them, trying to run down the track in the hopes of getting more air. They caught him again and this time, with the aid of a chemical extinguisher, put out the flames, but not before he was fearfully burned on the face, hands. reck and arms. The rest of his body, protected in part by his clothing, is superficially burned, but there Is great danger that his lungs are badly af fected. He has a bare chance to live. Sevea Kt Champloas Made.

Are you going to be included in this year's toll? Why, you will ex claim, do so many die, why are health authorities so concerned? The answer is. we bolt down our food, take no exercise, neglect our sleep and other wise subject our system to all sorts of abuse.
