Chafin used to emphasize his argu-

only way to successfully cope with

fellow was asleep the father took
the nickle away from him and when

Danger in ptomaines.

During the hot summer months we
must be on guard against this most
insidious enemy of mankind Daily
journals contain accounts of persons
made deadly i'll by eating salads,
drinking lemonade that has been left
IN some improper receptacle, or eat
ing canned goods improperly pre-
served. The number of the victims
is countless.
Ptomaines defined. says the New
York Evening Sun. are poisonous
products formed III fish, meat, milk
and other articles Of food by pro-
cess of decomposition, which seldom
leaves visible trace of it's action.
Milk Improperly cooled at the dairy
farm often comes to the consumer in
Il dangerous condition, and when
sickness results from using it is
usually too late to trace and fix the
responsibility.
Lemonade or tea allowed tn stand
in tin or granite or galvanized iron
soon develops deadly poison from
the action of the acid or tannin or
the tea on the metal. Mayonnaise
must never be kept in a tin pail or
basin. A glass jar with lid is the
best sort of receptacle.
Poisoning cases from canned goods
are frequent. If can buIges be sure
that decomposition has set in, and
cast it from you. After opening a
can of meat, fish or vegetables turn
the contents at once into a china
bowl and cover it up. Never allow it
to remain one moment in the opened
tin.
In case of poisoning at once empty
the stomach, employing a powerful
emetc. A tablespoonful of mustard
in a cup of lukewarm water, or a
strong solution of salt and water will
be etiicacious. If you can get neither,
thrust the finger down the throat to
provoke vomiting.
After the stomach has been relieved
give antid otes, lime water-the lime
scraped from the walls il you can
not do electromagnetic, rice water.
wood ashes, all are effective; but get
your doctor as quickly as possible,
then follow closely his directions.
Before you are poisoned, however,
remember that an ounce of proven
tion is worth a pound of cure.
