awaits eagerly the decision of physicians
examining applicants willing to submit
to a transfusion operation and exchange
their blood for a "suitable reward."
The patient's blood is rapidly chang

poisou in tho blood corpuscles. The
poison began affecting his pjstcm after
he had neglected what he thought was
only a slight abscess on a tooth. It
spread rapidly and what began as a
toothache soon threatened his life. He
is now dying slowly.
For several days Doctor Rubenstein
and other physicians at the hospital
have used every means, at their com
mand to sustain life in the patient and
renew the igor of the blood. Rut the
poison Kept steadily at woik aud the
wealthy man became worse.
Doctor Rubenstein informed him that
his chances of life depended upon his
ability to obtain some one to submit
to a blood trnusfusion operation to sup
ply the patient with the precious life
fluid necessary to preserve vitality.
With no relatives or fiiends equal
to the emergency the patient decided to
relv upon his money and asked Doctor
Rubenstein to advertise for a subject
who would submit to the blood transfu

Nitrotoluol in Gasoline Tank Will Put "Pep" in Motor, Asso
ciation of Museums, in Session Here, Told
"Drop a little benzol or nitro toluol
into your gasoline tank the next time
ou want to put 'pep' into jour motor.
That's tho stuff wc used to blast the
Germans out of the Argonne forest and
It ought to make an airplane out of
any 'benzine buggy :' "
This advice was given in nllserious
uess to American Association 6f Muse
ums, now in session in this city, by
William L. Fisher, assistant Curator
of the Commercial Museum. He de
clared that one of the new inventions
arising out of the stimulation given in
dustry by the war made it possible to
use the deadly "T.N.T." in gasoline
and to put the much desired "pep" iu
the motor.
Speaking of the war's effect on Amer
ican trade, Mr. Fisher declared :
"To.vs made in America have sup
planted German-made tojs entirely.
Photographic supplies are now manu
factured here of much finer quality than
the German-made- goods ever dared to
be. The same is true of chemicals.

jumped from 4000 tons in 11)13 to 110,

in a steady
Stream
Cf Flannels, Serges,
Fancy Mixtures have
been selling so fast that
it keeps the new arriv
als treading on the
heels of the vanishing
lots and assortments.
I They're an inspira
tion even to ourselves
as we place on our
tables new lot after
new lot and note the
niceties and innova
tions they bring with
them.
I The double-breast-ers
are the trimmest
and neatest we. have
ever seen. The blue
flannels, the brown
flannels, the blue serges
cut on these new lines
are trim and trig to the
limit. The waist lines
are snug and glovelike;
some of them show the
smooth waist seam that
is merely like a marker
as we put it on.
J Have you noticed
how popular Flannel
Suits are this season?
If you look over these
blues and greens and
browns and Oxford
Grays you'll know the
reason why.
CI And by the way
if you add a pair of
white flannel trousers
to your wardrobe, you
have a new combina
tion for outing pur
poses and holidays. A
brown flannel coat and
a pair of white flannel
outing trousers or
a blue coat, or a green,
or an Oxford with the
white flannel trousers,
and you're fixed up
splendidly. Lots of
men are going to ap
pear dressed that way
this Summer.
