HOW TO KEEP WELL DR. FREDERICK R. GREEN Editor of "HEALTH" <&. 1525. Weatern New?p?per Union.) FIREWORKS POISONING C* VEItYBODY knows today that Fourth of Jul}' fireworks, of the old style, are dangerous. Twenty year* ago when the Fourth was a day of un restricted and unlimited noise, tb"e number of accidents fr*m burns, ex | plosions, cannon crackers, dynamite cartridges, toy cannons^ roman candles, [ sky rockets, shotgun.*! and blank car tridge pistols was appalling. - The j morning newspapers of July fifth, all over the country, contained literally columns/ of names of the dead and I injured. Worse still, though not so spectacular, were notices of death caused by lockjaw occurring a few | weeks later. Public sentiment and sane Fourth ! ordinances have changed all that. W* ure able now to celebrate our national birthday with a small ?unount of noise and with only an occasional sacrifice of human life. But fireworks are apparently like the : old horse pistol, which was dangerous [ without lock, stock i >r barrel. Accord ing to a recent article in The Journal j of the American Medical Association ; by Doctors Dwyer and Helwig of Kan : sas t'ity, Kan., there have been a num ber of deaths among children from : phosphoru> poisoning due to eating fireworks. Phosphorus poisoning used to 1% quite common ii> the old days of matches made with yell nv phosphorus. This highly p<'isi'!'<>us substance- was" riot only a danger to the workers lf> match factories. but also to many children. I'ables !?*ft al'*ne to play on the kitchen floor oft> n got a box of matches which, baby-like, went Into their mouths. The Kadi anti-phos phorus law, passed by congress about twenty years ago. threw yellow phos phorus matches out of interstate com merce and so substituted the harm less and nonpoi^onous white phos phorus matches for them. Now It seems that" yellow phosphorus Is being used to make fireworks called "spilt devils." "son of a gun" and 'devil on the wiilk," powders, which, ground under the I tee! on a concrete watk, will crack and sputter. Any thing to make a U>ud noise and a bad smell ! Seven cases have been reported In New York city alone where little" chil dren have eaten litis stuff and died. Its manufacture has-been forbidden In New York. If you must buy fireworks, don't get t !??*?? cimtaining poisonous ph' sph -rus, and whatever y>?u get. don't let the babies eat it. He sure to kee;> It wl.er'e tltey <*unnot reu> h It THE DANGERS OF GLASS EYES Vf'C wouldn't consider glass eyes dangerous, would you? Vet they are by no means harmless. Our man ufacturers have produced glass eye? that are so naturai that they defy <i?feetion. Some persons who hav.? j been so unfortunate as to lose an eye 1 have learned to wear an artificial eye so naturally that few persons know ?; is not real. But If can readily be seen that a substitute made of glass is not | the most harmless sort of thing to wear !n your eye socket. The danger is of the glass eye ex ploding. Manufacturers of glass eyes say they iose about one-tenth of 1 per cent, or one out of every tbtjusand, through explosion, while the goods are In storage. These explosions occur on very hot or very cold days, mor-i frequently on hot days. In making glass eyes, the hack of the eye must be sealed while the glass ball is at white heat. This causes a vacuum in the Inside of tht* glass eye. As a result, there is considerable air pressure on the outside surface of the finished eye. Different grades of glass are used In making glass eyes and, even in the same grade, then* are apt to be inequalities tn t he class. If there are sudden ciumces tf tempera ture in different par's of the eye, the glass may suddenly explode, owing to the unequal pressure at different points. While such explosions are rare, eighteen have been recently reported ami probably more have occurred The patient hears a sharp report like a pistol shot close to the' head an 1 :'ee.s a Sharp pain !n his e_\* orbit. r.eiieraUy the eye socket and the eyelids are ? ut by the broken glass. No serious damage has occurred In any of the reported cases, although the cuts required several days to heid and. Jn some cases, it was necessary for the oculist to remove the sinai' pieces of broken glass from orbit. r>ual!y the patient thinks he has been shot in. the eye. Where the ex plosion occurs on the street, bystand ers generally get the same impression. Most of these explosions have oc curred on extremely hot days. A possilde cause says the Natrona! Safety News. Is the effect of the eye secretions. Some persons can wear an artificial eye for years. In others tha. glass becomes discolored and cor roded In six months.
