Pantagraph Photo Foot Bath Saves Life of Boy, 7 He Absorbs Brown Dye From Shoes Turns Blue as Poison Eats Oxygen Dr. Brian was called, and in rapid succession eight physicians and a trained nurse were called into service, these including a pediatrician, Dr. Robert Black, Chicago.

Many tests were made effort to locate the trouble. "The child's body was entirely blue by that time and he remained most of the time in a stupor. When 1 he could be roused he seemed to feel well, suffering only from weakness. An oxygen tank was taken to the home from Brokaw hospital and the child was given oxygen for four hours, the physicians agreeing the stupor was caused by poison which was eating the oxygen in the blood. The physicians were baffled until the question was asked if the child ever wore dyed shoes.

This gave them information which brought about the remedy. Dr. Black said one more hour of the absorption of the poison would undoubtedly have proved fatal. When Mrs. Brian washed the child's feet the dye was removed that absorption stopped, and to this is attributed the saving of his life.

The life of Frederick Brian, into a stupor before his mother year-old son of Dr. and Mrs. Fred could make any inquiry. W. Brian, 17 White place, was probably when saved, it was learned Frimother washed his feet, thinking they were dirty from playing in leaves.

The feet were brown from absorption of brown dye which had been used on a pair of shoes. Frederick, a pupil in the Franklin school, wore a pair of dyed shoes to school last week. When he went home to lunch his lips were blue and his mother inquired what he had been eating. Learning he had eaten nothing, she washed his lips, but could not remove the discolor. He ate a heavy lunch and felt well and was allowed to return to school.

The teacher inquired a number of times in the afternoon if the boy felt well, since his color was so blue, and each time receiving a favorable reply, she him to remain in school until 4 o'clock, when he went home and immediately complained of a severe headache.

It shows funds ranging from 45 cents up to $1,000 due heirs who are missing, or whose addresses are unknown.

The total trust fund varies from year to year but there is now $10,140.92. When the executor or administrator of an estate has completed his requirements, and has made all possible effort to locate missing persons, he turns the money due them over to the county treasurer. It is held until missing heirs prove their identity and claim the amounts due them. The funds do not bear interest, nor is any charge made by the county for their safekeeping. Mr.

Burkholder says that quite frequently "lost" heirs return to claim their money, and in numerous instances attorneys locate heirs through correspondence in settlement of chancery cases. It is estimated that a bushel of wheat contains 556,000 grains, a bushel of rye 888.000, and a bushel of clover 16,400,000. 1931.
