SOME POISON FOODS.
Scientists Have Discovered Why They
Prove Irritating to Stomachs.

Woods Hutchinson, NJ. d., contrib
utes to McClure's Magazine for Sep
TENDER an article separating three
classes of ''poison foods" commonly
used in small quantities without
harmful effect, from the comestibles
that form staples Of diet. Indeed,
some combination of the few kinds
of mammalian meats, maize, wheat,
rice, butter, oil, sugar and salt. "two-
thirds of the money expended for
food by every civilized race and most
barbaric ones" goes to purchase:
Science has, of course. long ago
vindicated the good sense of humani-
tvs selection by showing that they
contain the highest degree OF fuel
value, digestibilty and freedom from
injurious results that is to be had
for the price-in most case, indeed,
at any price"
The virulent poison of the cassava
root can be extracted, and its starch
is perfectly edible. The tubers of the
potato also contain modicum of
poison, which cooking eliminates.
These roots represent small group
of "poison foods"
The second and main group has
but Just been found out" scicntifi-
cally speaking, although human
stomachs long ago detected its innu-
ence. Peas, beans, chestnuts, pea
nuts and all nuts, brown bread and
cheese possess nutritive value at
least equal to The staples. and have,
therefore, been much acected by the
fadists. OF these DR.. Hutchinson says:
Studies made from another point
of view in the laboratories are begin
ming to throw a flood of light on the
reastn for the failure of these foods
promptly to meet with favor on the
part of the public. revealing the sur
prising fact that many articles \of
food contain, combined with their
high percentage of nutritive value,
substances which are irritating to
the stomach. disturb digestion, or
may even behave as active poisons. E"

tice-"colled amid It's rich store of
proteid and fat, like guardian drag
ons, lie an aromatic oil and a bitter
alkaloid, both poisonous to the sus-
ceptible stomach in small amounts,
and to the average one in larger"
II some one could invent a process
OF surely extracting its poisonous ele-
ments he would not only confer a
general benefit, but would save many
devoted lives Of misguided diet re-
formers and vegetarians. The banana,
rich in sugar and starch, even at its
proper ripeness. has an irritant in its
flayoring essences. Why nuts can new
er form a staple is thus indicatde:
"An irritating principle has been
found present in all nuts. partly in
the kernel itself and partly in the
skin which surrounds the kernel,
which, even in cases of very moder-
ate amounts. Is a very decided irri-
tant to the digestive canal. Peanuts
which, of course. are not nuts at
all. but the seeds of a species of pea
which is artifcially caused to devel-
op underground are particularly
strong in these poisonous extracts"
The third class belongs to the Or
der Of casual criminals that is,
when eaten with due moderation they
are OF high practical value as gar

PRESIDENT ACTS TO
SUPPRESS SMUGGLING

Washington. May 31.-The president has
issued a proclamation creating reserva-
tion ~ feet in width along the entire
northern border Of Mexico including the
state OF California and the Territories OF
Arizona and New Mexico The purpose Of
the reservation Is declared in the presi-
Dental proclamation to be the suppress
sion OF smuggling across the information
al line. Private entries In the line Of the
projected reservation and such portions
of IL as are needed for roads are reserved
from the operation Of the order.
Since the abolition Of the old "Zona
Libre," or fire zone, between Mexico and
the United states. IL has been found in
creasingly difficult to prevent smuggling
across the boundary, hence the preslden-
tial proclamation.
