Twin Children Are Horribly Burned At Vancouver
Vancouver,Was.,Sept.20- (Special)- As a result of eating lye the twin 
daughters of Mr. and Mrs. R.P.Martin lay at the point of death for several 
hours yesterday and last night at the family home on the corner of Nintha nd I 
streets. The poison was taken by the children just before noon yesterday. They 
were in the yard playing and found an old can which was partially filled wiht 
lye. Apparently the children had spread this on some apples which they were 
eting.
They were fearfully burned and for a time it was thought that death would 
surely result.from a later report,however,it is learned that they will recover 
from their injuries.
