Usher of the Youths Companion,

December 24th, 1899. This an
noucement, made in the Compan-
ion, is the first time his name was

has always held himself in the
background and published the
paper under the name of Perry
Mason & Co. who v exist
ed-they we're a myth.
Mr.. Ford was Is years old at
the time of his death, and his en-
tire time, energy and soul has, for
~ years, been poured out to make
the Youths Companion a messen-
ger of love, and hope, and help to
the young people of this country.
1t was a small local paper when he
took charge of it, with a circula-
ton of but a few hundreds. 1t
now prints over 100000 at each
issue. The work of Mr.. Ford,
which was one of unselfish love

land, is one that should stir the
soul of every man and woman to
greater efforts, in the way of refor-
nation and assistance to our
young people, who need such help

LEAD POISONING.
Frank Tinkum has a very close Call
From Eating Canned Tongue
That had Stood over
Night in opened
Can

Frank Tinkum, who is now stop
ping with DR.. Browder, had a
very close call last week, from eat
ing canned tongue, that had stood
open III the tin over night. He
has been suffering from dropsy
for some time, and has lately re-
turned from the hospital at Rock
Springs, where he had gone for
treatment. Last week he took a
notion that canned tongue was
what he wanted, so he sent and
got a can and, after eating part of
it, left the rest in the tin. The
next day he ate the rest. Shortly
afterward he was taken violently
ill and the doctor pronounced the
trouble to be lead poisoning. 1t
was with the greatest difficulty
that his life was saved, but he is
now able to be around again.
1t is a very dangerous thing to
do-let meats or fruit stand i'll
the tin after they have been open
ed. When a can of anything, no
matter whether it be fruit, meats,
or vegetables, is opened, it should
be Immediately emptied out into
an earthen-ware dish and never
allowed to stand in the tin for
even a few minutes. Especially
should anything be avoided foruse
as food that has stood in an open
tin for any length of time. The
gelatine in meats especially con
tains an acid whi"h, in conjunc-
ton with the lead in the tin,
breeds bacteria and these bacteria
are taken into the system with the
food and the almost inevitable re
suit, a dangerous sickness. All
fruits and most vegetables are as
dangerous in this respect as meat.

He didn't seem at all satisfied to

fine comb on sale in a clothing
