Ptomaines, according to Quain, are alkaloids produced by the decomposi- ton of animal substances. The word ptomaine was at first restricted to al- kaloids produced by cadaveric decom- position, but it Is now also employed to designate alkaloids of animal origin formed during life as a result of chem ical changes induced by some agency or other acting within the organism.

the importation of foreign contract
labor are points that are causing a
great deal OF discussion But, laying
aside the question of legality, dit is ex-
treuely IMPROBABLE that, even II the
Chinese could endure the change In
climate, they would be able to stand
the strain of severe physical labor re
quired. This phase of the question
was proved in the experiment of In

turpentine and phosphate camps. This
experiment proved that although the
Chinese were willing, industrious, so
Der and intelligent workers, they were
physically unable to stand the severe

the Chinese were sent back to Oregon

BRYAN's DEMAND THAT

Tampa Times.


Quite little stir has been raised
by Mr.. Bryan dsananding the res;gna-
ton OF r. G. Sullivan, of Illinois, from

remembered that in the campaign of
1904 the democrats of Illinois were
closely divided between the machine
crowd and another crowd which
claimed to be reformers. In the ma
tional convention of that year Mr.
Bryan took an active stand against
admitting the delegation from Illinois
which named Sullivan as member of
the national committee. He went
carefully into the subject and in the
hearing before the committee on
credentials and on the floor of the
convention he seemed to establish be-
yond question that the Sullivan dele

PASTEURIZED MILK.

Simple Home Method of Securing
Safe Food For Babies.
Pasteurized milk is that which has
been heated to a temperature Of be-
tween 155 and ITO degrees and kept at
that temperature from ten to thirty
minutes before being rapidly cooled
and put on ice.
1t may seem strange that a lower
temperature than the boiling point
should be the one selected, but bac-
terra which cause milk to sour are
killed at 155 degrees, and the disease
germs which are likely to be present
are destroyed at 10 degrees.
For the mother who wishes to pas
teurize at home. the simplest ana with
care) a safe method is to place
the milk in glass jars. fill pail with
boiling water and place the Jars in
this. The water should come nearly to
the top of the Jars and above the milk.
Set the pail in warm place and
stir the milk occasionally. The milk is
heated to the desired degree before
the water is lowered to the pasteuiz-
ing temperature. Lastly and most i'm
portant, cool the milk by running cold
water, into the pail, then stopper quick
ly and set on Ice.
Remember that pasteurized milk
may easily become contaminated
again, and only proper care can in
sure its remaining sterile. - Good

THE QUESTION OF
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
Jacksonwilse Metropolis.

The Orlando Reporter-Star says
that the governors private secretary
and secretary to the state Board OF
Pardons, is said to have delivered a
speech before the board on the com.
mutation Of life sentence, in which he
took the ground that capital punish
ment is a failure and that 1t is not q
mark of the progress Of civilization
TO continue the practice.
To this illumination the Orlando
paper further says:
1T seems to us the Board of Par.
dons has nothing whatever to do with
sentiment for or against capital pun
ishment in the consideration of com-
mutation Of a death sentence.
IF 1t has, then the entire principle
OF penalty of violated law is in danger,
because according to the same line of
reasoning it may be influenced by
notions concerning the sort of penal
ty inflicted for amy other branch of
law and thus there with be even more
OF farce practiced than there Is now
of the heavy machinery of the courts
trying and sentencing case at one
end OF the line strictly. according to
ldW dIlu IktIuOu UOdTu tXSTClSluS
superior rights IN turning the convict
ed person loose at the other end of
the line, stnictly according to senti-
ment, or its construction Of the signs
Of the times"
This is good advice and proper CON-
ment of our esteemed contemporary
IL would be more becoming to a
state officer to try to find some way
to lessen crime than how TO mitigate
punishment of crime Capital pun
ishment lis the best method yet dis
covered to lessen crime, the govern

contrary Notwithstanding.
III the governors private secretary
has a better plan ne should have adj
vocated It WREN member of the leg
islat,re, and probably it would have
been enacted into law. The excuses
for granting so many pardons TO con-
victs made by the Board OF Pardons
does not at an satisfy public senta-
Eent, as the board and it's secretary
no doubt have learned from both press
and people.

bership Of the committee obtained by
Sullivan, or to protest. witch mas
usual boldness he protested, and there
was no halfway tone about 1t. He de-
Iomced Sullivan and his associates
in the robbery in plain terms, and
apparently with ample reason. It
may be mentioned that Sullivan ~
connected with an odious and oppres-
sive gas corporation, and 10, therefore
not the brand of democrat most likely
to deserve trust and confidence.
In view Of the situation confronting
the democratic party as the coming
presidential contest approaches, 1t be-
hooves the party to do little house
cleaning. With a man at the head
of dts executive committee who is
charged with being one OF the most
notorious allies of gamblers, Fronting
by their operations, and several such
members as Sullivan, there is nothing
more certain than that it must get rid
of that sort of cattle or again be
voted unworthy OF the confidence OF
the clean and decent people of the
country-wtho are always actually IN
tremendous majority. In the past
half century the democratic party has
often allied itself with the baser ele-
ments of society, it has fought against
moral and temperance regulations.
and where these have been denied
the offense has been more often wink
ed at by democratic officials.
AS has been repeatedly stated in
these columns, it is fixed that the
platforms of the two parties will not
materially differ in the next campaign.
The crucial point to be settled by the
voters is, which party will most fully
and faithfully discharge it's Obiga-
tions, fulfill it's promises and carry
out the wishes of the people? When
the matter is presented from this
standpoint it will be seen how impor-
tant it is that the democracy shows
up with clean men in its leadership.

Chinese Labor on
1sthrnus of Panama.

The question of Chinese labor on
che Isthmus of Panama is still being
discussed by newspapers throughout
the country, and the consensus of
opinion seems to be in line with what
!. Tne Journal has already said upon the
subject, !. e., that the Chinese would
be unable to do the work required OF
them and that the attempt to make
alse OF them I'm digging the bdg ditch
wound prove a costly experiment. This
view Is taken by The West Palm
Beach Sun. which has the following to
say on the subject:
The Isthmian Canal Commission
has been swamped with inquiries re-
garding the proposed contract for
$500 Chinese laborers to be employed
In building the Panama canal. Ne
groes, West Indian and otherwise.
have proven so lazy and inefficient
that the men at the head of the under
talung have decided TO dispense with
them, as much as possible, and to EN-.
ploy Chinese to do the work formerly
cone by the negroes. This project
mas been received by many as the best
solution of the labor problem in the
Canal zone; 1t is claimed, by the sup
iporters Of this theory. that the Cht
nese are more intelligent, industrious
and sober than the native, or import
(. ed negro laborers. THIS Is, undoubt-
;edly true for none know better than
