Francis hospital today, coincident with the Installation in that institution of the most modem and scientific oxygen therapy apparatus. The machine in-' stalled Is known as the "Oxygen- alre," which has received the ap-1 proval of the American College of Surgeons as well as the acceptance of the council on physical of the American Medical association. In Installing the Oxygenalre St, Francis hospital feels that It is performing a public service. The use of oxygen as a therapeutical measure In the treatment of pneumonia and other severe respiratory diseases represents a significant advance in medical science. St.

Francis hospital has, by Its action In equipping the hospital with an Oxygenalre, made It possible for everyone In Freeport and vicinity to have the efficient and high- type oxygen therapy formerly available only In the largest hospitals of the metropolitan centers. No Moving Mechanical Parts The machine' selected by the St. Francis hospital has many outstanding and interesting features. The Oxygenalre is motorless; it has no movable mechanical parts. Instead It employs as its operating principle a natural and unfailing so that it is absolutely positive in operation.

The importance of this is realized when It Is known that it is dangerous to move a patient from an oxygen tent until all oxygen needs is over. When the motor type tent Is employed, motor or other, mechanical breakdown or a sudden electric powor failure puts the machine out of commission. This cannot happen In the more advanced and scientific type of machine now owned by St. Francis hospital. There is a wide-spread interest In oxygen therapy among laymen.

Many interesting stories having to do with oxygen therapy have appeared in the newspapers. According to the superintendent of St. Francis hospital, the Oxygen- aire has had Its share of headline honor. It was the first oxygen therapy machine to be used In a Pullman compartment in transport- Ing a patient from New York to Chicago, and one of the first, if not i HO HJ VJlVAVtlU 111 I I 1 -I nnce.

That in York city 2,600 persons suffered injuries from fireworks? That 29 deaths last year, due to fireworks, took place within 3 weeks after the 4th? That at least 50 persons lose sight of one eye or both as a result of fireworks each 4th and that another 500 receive minor eye Injuries? That drownlngs reach' their peak in July? That more eye accidents occur on or about the 4th of July than during any 100 days in the year? That little care and forethought In planning the celebration will eliminate many dangers? The Freeport Safety council lleves that such facts as the above should be made know to the read- Ing public In the hope that the exercise of a little more caution, a moment of forethought and consideration given as to how easily many accidents could be avoided, may result in the saving of human life and unnecessary injuries and suffering. Accidents Reach Peak July Annual records, for reach their peak on July 4th, despite the cessation of all hazardous Industrial occupations. Children A generally comprise the major part the fireworks casualties on the national holiday when careless handling of explosives brings death and injury to youngsters. While the cannon cracker used to lead as a cause of, Fourth of July deaths and injuries, there has been a change in trend, the National Safety council says.

Drownlngs, motor vehicle accidents and many other elements enter into the holiday accident causation. Nevertheless, and despite abolition of promlsclous use of fireworks In many communities, pyrotechnics are still a prolific source of danger.
