DATING OF CANNED FOOD.
British Medical Journal Suggests
A Way to Protect the Public.

Notwithstanding the fact that active
fermentation is checked In her metically
sealed and ''processed" foods, certain
deteriorating changes are recognized
as taking place in those which have
stood long in cans, especially those
which have been kept through the hot
months or in warm climates. The stale
ness and tastelessness Of much Of the
canned stnffs sold as food Is undoubtedly
due To some extent to imperfect meth
DDS OF preparation-to the lack OF q
skilled chef in the canning factory.
The sense OF losthing, however,
goods land which is lar gely to blame for
II Q ior umsrable witticisms on boarding
house fare) Is possibly due To alterations
in SAVIOR which follow the long continued
maceration of delicately balanced or
gznic compounds. The tin can. though
excluding the outside air, still acts as
an autoclsse or digester, and In warm
weather, or as the results OF variations
in temperatures, chemic changes neces-
sarily occur which. at hrst insiguificant,
are. In time, sufficient to render the
canned food unpalatable and possibly
unwholesome.
The dangers that arise from the pro-
longed action OF organic acids upon the
impure tin and solder used In cheap tin
cans are illustrated in the cases of ILL.,
ness following the use Of timed foods,
and which are reported from time to
time In the lay and medical press. The
suggestion offered In recent number
OF the British Medical Journal by H. Z.
Mann, medical officer Of the East
African protectorate, is we'll based, viz,
that all manufacturers Of canned foods
should be compelled TO stamp on the
tins the date on which the food Is pre-
pared. Medicine.

Undiscovered Cuba.

After more than four hundred years
IL appears that Cuba has not yet been
entirely discovered. Much Of 1t and
many of Its treasures are yet unknown,
according to the recent report made by
Governor General Wood
He says that after the centuries OF
Spanish occupancy there are large por-
tions OF the island that have never even
been prospected and practically remain
undiscovered. so far as knowledge OF
what they contain goes.

A Famous University.

The State OF Ohio has from the very
beginning OF its statehood been liberal
in providing the childhood and youth Of
the commonwealth with educational
advantages. The common school, the
high school. the college and the uni
versity are all essential parts OF the
great system afforded by the State, that
the rising generation may he properly
equipped for the duties and>responsi-
biiities of happy, intelligent and useful
citizenship.
In 1924 the Legislature OF Ohio estab-
lished Miami University at Oxford, In
Butler county. Since that time this old
State University has had history that
has made IL the most prominent educa-
tional Institution in the great Ohio
valley and has accomplished . work
that has extended its fame around the
world until today It Is doubtless more
widely known as college Of high rank
than any other Institution Of equal
grade in the central west
II numbers among It's graduates such
eminent men as General Benjamin
Harrison, former President of the
United States; Hon. Calvin 5. Brice,
ex-United States Senator from Ohio;
Oliver p. Morton, the great war Gov
ernor OF Indiana; Prof. David Swing,
the well known preacher; Hon. White
law Reid, the distinguished editor OF
the New York Tribune, and more than
thousand others OF It's alumni are fill.
ing honorable positions in all walks ol
life throughout the world. IL will
mean much to the boys and girls and
young men and women Of the present
generation to be educated In so historic
university as Miami.
The schools Of the institution are an
academy for those who have completed
the common school work, the renowned
College Of Liberal Arts for high school
and academy graduates, and the new
State Normal school recently estab
lished by the Legislature OF Ohio for
the training OF teachers.
The location OF the university 4;
ideal. Oxford is q lovely village suburb
of 2, 600 population. Its beautiful homes
its hospitable churches, and its genera
refinement create an ideal college at
mosphere. Fourteen passenger trains
on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Daytor
railway pass through the town daily
making it easy OF access from all points
in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.
The buildings OF the university In
clude a three-story main building 25,
feet in length, containing offices, reci
tasion rooms, literary society halls ant
the beautiful new chapel; Brice Scien
titic Hall with physical. chemical auf
biological laboratories; the splendis

hot and cold water shower and tul
