POISON IN ARsENIcAL COLOR.
Prof. Charles E. Munroe ellis About Man,
Dangerous Papers.

Prof Charles E. Munroc Tells About Many
Dangerous Papers.
Prof. Charles E. Munroe delivered a lecture
at the Columbian University before the Sani-
tary League last evening upon "Color in its
Relations to Health" He confined his sub
ject to dangerous coloring matters. The evil
effects of arsenic as used in wallpaper were set
forth and shown to result from its release by
abrasion, its formation into dust, and subse-
quent inhalation in atmospheric form.
Arsenic, he said, is very cheap element,
us it occurs abundantly in nature and is a by
product of many industries. 1t is this cheap
ness combined with the remarkable brilliancy
and durability Of the colors of its compounds
which has determined its extensive use in the
manufacture of pigments. Arsenical papers
are used for wrapping candy, chocolate,
cakes. for tickets and book covers. The
speaker told of child who was poisoned by
using book with q bright green cover for a
palette. The book was found 10 be report
of the Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Children. Instances were narrated also Of
children being poisoned by the papers given
them for use in Kindergarten work.
Arsenical colors are used also for hat bands,
stockings, gloves, candles. crayons, backs of
playing cards, tarlatanes, cretones, calicoes,
brocades and baize.

Taxing 8uiIdiuc Associatious

Congressman Bryan, OF the subcommittee

afternoon that the impression that building
associations would be taxed where their in

erroneous. except where foreign or inter
state building associations We're concerned.
Local organizations in any state or territory

affected, but where a company was large
