ASSOCIATION HERE
WINS FIRST PRIZE
Moline Association of Stationary en-
gineers Takes Honors in the Ma
tional Educational Contest.

Word received from J. II. McElhat-
ten, delegate of the Moline association
of stationary engineers at the national
convention now being held at Phila-
delphia, announces that the Moline as
sCciation has been awarded the first
prize in the national educational CON
test The contest consists of a series
of questions given during the winter,
arranged by the committee appointed
by the national president Each assO-
citation in the United States takes part
and the answers are submitted TO the
educational committee for correction.
Prizes are awarded on a percentage
basis. This is the third contest. and
in the first Moline won 10th place, and
in the second third place There are
$50 associations with about 10000
members. Naturally the members feel
proud of having won over the larger
cities. where the membership includes
many high salaried engineers. Moline
had 81 members. including the running
engineers of Rock Island and Moline.
The association is purely an education
al institution. and has no bearing on
the relations between the men and the
employers in the matter of wages.

the Illinois state board of health is do
ing in endeavoring to disseminate in
formation regarding the dangers of i'm
properly prepared and decayed foods.
A circular has just been issued that
contains a great deal of information Of
value to every person. In it is the rec
ommendation of the board that city
councils and trustees Of towns and vii
| lagos see to the passage of ordinances
providing for the regulation OF slaugh-
ter, packing and storage houses. mar
kets and all other places used for the
preparation, storage or sale of food for
human consumption. The state laws
are quoted to show that municipalities
have full power to do this. Following
are some of the points emphasized in
the circular:
Food becomes a source of danger 10
those who consume it on account of
impure or mwholesome materials of
which it may be made; on account of
decomposition or spelling before, dur
ing the process or after preparation; or
on account of filth or foreign matter
which it may acquire during prepare
ton. storage or sale.
Animal Susceptible.
animal food is particularly suscepti-
bic to bacterial action and to decom
position which is fastened by killing
and handling in filthy slaughter houses
or by improper refrigeration and stor-
age Meat from diseased animals. too

Meat exposed to the air or to flies in
the market. may undergo decOmposi-
ton which may not be apparent except
to the expert, but which may render it
exceedingly dangerous. The oft-repeat-
ed statement that cooking will remove
the poisonous properties of spoiled
meat is not to be relied upon. Cooking
will kill bacteria, but will not destroy
bacterial products-the poisOns of de-
composed meats. Cooked meats, fresh
and sound at the time of cooking, may
decompose and cause poisoning of those
who eat it. if kept too long after cook
