rHE D1scoyERY OF rRICH1NAE.

THE DISCOVERY OF TRICHINAE.
Little was 1t thought when French
medical student named Paget discover
ed in 1885 new parasite of man in
the shape of small worms in cadaver
upon which he was working that this
little organism would prove factoSI

had passed, yet such proved to be the
case, for the little worms thus discov-
cred were trichinae, and their presence
in man and animals gives rise to the
much dreaded and fatal disease known
as trichinosls. The parasite was first
discovered In America in 1912, in which
year it was found four times in the
muscles of humans. Since that time
over 900 cases have been recorded In
this country. 1t was not, however,
until 1850 that the significance Of tho
organism, pathologically, was discover
ed and proved to be the cause of trich-
inosis. Up to that time the disease
had been confounded with typhoid
fever and other maladies of similar ma.
ture AS we never heard much about
appendicitis until the appendix was
about trichinosis until trichinae were
discovered When this discovery was
once made and it's significance clearly
established interest began to be mani
tested, especially in Germany, where
in 1880 royal decree was issued pro.
hibiting sausage and chopped meat Of
American origin from being imported
ipfn hot f,v 10 Po1IN
In 1888 by another decree which prohib-
tied the Importation Of all Americana
pork, which latter order was subse1
quently repealed to admit American
products under certain inspection rules.
The trichinae argument is still used
today in Germany by men engaged IN
the butcher business to prejudice the
sale of American meats. The trichinae
are found most often in meat eating
animals - In fact, except by inocula-,
ton, the parasites can only get into the
system by being taken in alive in meat
food Fish, birds, ETC., are practically
never infected. No harm can possibly
result from eating meat affected with
trichinae If it has been thoroughly
cooked; otherwise the danger is ever
present, and he who eats raw pork on
other unlocked meat stands a possible
danger Of infection. Germany has
adopted very thorough and costly
method Of meat inspection, involving
a careful microscopic examination of
all pork products, and hardly year
passes but some one comes forward
with proposal for the establishments
of a similar method of inspection for
this country.

We always feel sorry for the man
who can eat bad butter and never
know it, for we are sure it is because
he has never tasted anything better.
Few articles Of food are more appe-
thing than good butter, and few con-
coctions smell as bad and taste as
filthy as butter that is not good.

While in conversation with the pro-
prietor Of grocery store not long
since he pointed to sugar barrel
standing Pm the rear of the store and
spoke as follows: "That sugar barrel
contains 900 pounds of dairy butter,
for which we paid from 10 to II cents
per pound to the farmers who made it.
1t is of such poor quality as to be abb
solutely worthless for local sale as 1t
is, so we have barreled it UP and will
ship 1t to some renovating concern,
where it will be eventually worked
over and sent back to be used in some
of the many eating houses in this and
other states. It Is q mystery to me
why the farmers will insist on putting
good cream into poor butter and sell
ing the latter for half the market price
when they could, with far less work
and bother, sell their cream direct to
the creamery at the highest market
price and thus make saving all
around. Most of the fellows that bring
in this butter are poorly equipped for
making good butter, and their attempts
end in the turnir 8 upon the market Of
such grease as is contained In that
butter, which Is mere waste of time
and good material. How much better
it would be if they would sell their
milk or cream to the creamery, get a
good price for it and buy what butter
they need for home consumption
This grocer had the true grasp Of the
situation. Much Of the dairy butter
produced is indeed bad waste of
time. money and good material No
better can be made anywhere than on
the farm, provided 1t is equipped to do
the work and those in charge are COM
petent, but these last mentioned cnndi-
tons are too often lacking.

SUGGESTED GRAF I

One Of the bitterest personal encoun-
ters of the session took place in the Sen
ate late yesterday afternoon. when Sen
ator Teller and Senator Tillman h1d d
sharp clash because Of what Senator
Teller took to be the reflections OF
Senator TiIlman against the integrity Of
the Senate conferees on the Indian ap-
preparation bill.
II was the ancient and oft-discussed
provision for the correction OF the citi-
zenshlp rolls Of the five civilized tribes
in Indian Territory that caused the
trouble The Indian Committee has per
sisted IN working into some Of its legis-
lation a provision on this subject that
Senator Tiilman has regarded as offen-

from the conference on that bill; and
yesterday it came back once more. in

DEADLY RAILROAD WRECK.
Forty-seven Killed On the Baltimore

Chicago.-More than one-half the
passengers on an immigrant train on

between the passenger train and a
freight near Woodville, Indiana. One
hundred and sixty-five passengers
were on the train, and of these forty.
seven were either killed outright or
were burned to death in the fire which
broke out in the wreckage Immediately
after the collision.
The names of all the dead will prob

the bodies were consumed in the
flarSSs, or were so badly burned that
Identification is impossible. Thirty
eight people were injured, and several
of these will die. Eighty others es-
capped unhurt, but lost nearly all their
baggage and clothing.
The disaster was caused by a blum
der of some employe Of the railroad
company, but Just where the blame lies
has not been determined.
