objects, when only too many demands

PToMAINE POISONING
IS INCREASING.
(From Lsslls's WsshY)
le eee o0ee oO0e oOO a0oOoOa o

The startling statement is made
that since the enforcement of this
absurd rulings" against the use of
preservatives, even in harmless
amounts, the number OF cases of
ptomaine poisoning has shown an
alarming increase. Prior to the en-
forcement of the ruling" against the
use of borax and boric scid in small
amounts for the preservation of meat,
fish, fowl, sausage. oysters and other
foods which readily become contain
mated, the number of cases of pto-
maine poisoning was very much
smaller than 1t is now. The explana-
ton is this-that packages of food
which are now compelled to bear the
pure-food label are regarded, by rea-
son of this label, as wholesome,
though they are sometimes contain
mated because the use of preserva-
tives in the slightest degree has been
forbidden. The consumer partakes
of these labeled foods freely, because
of his belief that they have the pro-
lection of the pure-food label, and
suffers accordingly. The sentiment
of the entire nation Is heartily in IA
vor of the strongest enforcement of
the law intended to prevent the man
ufacture of impure and unwholesome
food products, but it is not in favor
Of the seeming purpose to make the
pure-food law a pure-food fad Of inn
practicable and notoriety-seeking the
orists, who desire to keep themselves
before the public, and who have am
billions for higher pay and loftier
places in the public service, and
hence are constantly seeking to inn
press their importance upon the peo-
pie.

MAN WITH ONE ARM
BECOMES A PRODIGY.

Spurrsd on by Misfortune, He
cenauers Difficult Arts and In
dustries.
The remarkable achievements Of
William G. Collins, a one armed post
man, who received a presentation at
Rochester on retiring after forty
years service, are worthy OF a chap
ter in Smiles Self Help, says the
London Chronicle.
Bereaved of his father, and having
the misfortune to lose his right arm
in a gun accident at an early age, he
set to work to learn to write with his
left hand and became an expert PEN
man. He learned shorthand and
taught the art to his brother and his
schoolmasters son, the former be-
coming a reporter and the latter Off
cial police reporter at Scotland Yard.
Want of means prevented him from
realizing his ambition of becoming
a schoolmaster, so at the age of nine
teen he obtained an appointment as
a rural postman. His duties left him
free for some hours in the middle Of
the day, and this spare time he de-
voted to remunerative work in pho
Biography and carpentering. He was
a pioneer in small holdings and
farmed an acre of land for pleasure
and profit.
Then he decided to build a six
room cottage for himself, being his
own architect. Although he had only
one hand, he first of all moulded
thousands of concrete bricks and
then built the house with them. This,
task occupied ten years, as he did all
the internal fittings himself.
The introduction of the parcels post
necessitated the use of a conveyance,
but Collins was equal to the occasion
and built his own mail cart, which
he painted and vanished with the
skill of an artist.

up to tie on 19 points.
Here both teams seemed to take a
fresh grip on themselves and for sew
eral minutes the tie held unbroken.
From that time until the close of the
game the result was in doubt the two
teams being nearly all the time
within two points of each other. Dur
ing the last two minutes of play, Dali
las succeeded in scoring from the
field and foul line, gaining a short
lead that Willamette was unable to
overcome.
The work of Fred Boydston, Walter
Ballantyne and Ridgeway on the
Dallas team. was especially brilliant
throughout the game. W. |. Ford
acted as referee, his work being
highly satisfactory to both teams

SUCCESS ATTENDS TEAMS
Both Dallas College And The Oregons
Make Fine Showing During
Past Week.

The next game to be played in Dal
las has been set for Saturday, March
13, and the two contesting teams will
be the Oregons, fresh from their sue
cessful tour of the East, and the Multi
nomah Athletic Club, champions Of
the Oregon League.
The Oregons are now in Albany,
where they are scheduled to play
tonight. Since defeating Watsonville,
California last week, they have won
three more victories, two in play and
one by forfeit. The first of the three,
against San Jose, was played Thurs
day night, the score being 35 to 81 in
favor of the Oregon team.
Saturday night had been set for
playing the team winning the cham
pionship tournament in California
The tournament was won by the five
from the University of California, but
the players were so badly bruised that
their manager refused to allow them
to go into another hard game immed-
lately, and the game was forfeited to
Dallas too.
I An effort was made to induce the
Oregons to stay over in San Francisco
and play last night but they were
obliged to fill their schedule at Ash
land, where they defeated their
opponents by score of So to 16.
Instead of coming directly from
Albany to Dallas, the team will go on
into Portland and remain there until
Thursday night, when its first game
against Multnomah will be played.
The sale of seats for the Saturday
nights game in Dallas will be opened
Wednesday and is expected to exceed
all previous records.
The Dallas College basketball team
defeated the five from Willamette
University, before fair-sized crowd
of spectators in the local gymnasium
Saturday night, the final score being
26 to 20.
Although the team work on bott
sides was trifle loose at times and
the guarding was not close during the
last half, the game as a whole was
fast and exciting, the teams being
almost equally matched, with thu
advantage a trlhe in favor of the hom'
team.
During the first half the Dallas
team easily outplayed its opponent
and had established long lead wheI

GIVES MERITED PRAISE
Library Commission Says Dallas lnstl-
tuition Is a Model For Others
In Oregon.

1t is interesting to note what is said
of the Dallas Public Library in the
second biennial report of the Oregon
Library Commission to the twenty
fifth Legislative Assembly which has
just passed.
"Dallas-The city appropriated $3.50
for 1909. A regular librarian has
been engaged, the library is open
every day, and the reading room is
we'll patronized. This small library
has served the people of the city in
most satisfactory manner and is a
model for other small libraries OF the
state. The members of the library
association have been untiring in
their efforts for the improvement OF
the library and have raised money for
books in addition to the sum appro-
priated by the city. 1t is a state trav-
cling library station" This report OF
all libraries in Oregon is to be found
on the reading table at the public
library and is we'll worth reading.
A manual for Civil Service Exami-
nations, in three volumes, has been
placed in the library. One volume
deals with arithmetic in a most
practical, thorough-going manner
Another explains the fundamental
principles of English grammar
composition and spelling. The third
volume treats of geography and with
this book come large maps to be used
in the study. Any young man OF
woman desiring to pass the civil
service examinations, or to enter any
clerical position will find these books
