POISONED.

II was recently given out by the
Associated Press that 100 editors on
their way to Chicago had been pois-
oned by eating canned beef and
chicken; but upon investigation It
turned out that every man who was
affected had put water i'm his whls-

neither beef nor chicken. The whole
trouble was due TO ignorance and
disorderly conduct. Not single
