LARGEST TURTLE is LANDED
ST. Louis Fisherman Captures Snapper
Weighing 81 Pounds-Measured
SO Inches.

st. Louis.-John Frerichs, OF 1927
North Broadway. made almost a rec.
ord catch when he landed a swapping
turtle measuring SO inches in diameter
and weighing 81 pounds at Bluff lake
on the East side. As result Frerichs
and his friends enjoyed dinner In
which turtle soup was the principal
course.
Frerichs was fishing near Center
Vile station when he saw the turtle
summing itself at the waters edge. He
thrust stick at the snapper and 1t
grabbed IT, II refused to let go,
which served Frerichs' purpose very
well. The turtle pulled one way and
Frerichs another. and Frerichs was
victorious. He landed the turtle on
the bank and tied It securely with q
rope.

Experts Opinion Is That Blood
Poisoning May Result.
Cheap Grades OF Shoes Made From
Skins Not Properly Prepared Oft
en- Cause Trouble to Their
Wearers.

London.-Beware OF cheap boots.
In their leather. II tanned by a re-
Gently utilized scientific process. there
may lurk a grave danger to health.
Blood poisoning is the danger to be
feared, and according to an experts
opinion blood poisoning in a form ex-
tremely dlflcult to cure.
In the north OF England a case OF
blood poisoning from this cause has
Just been reported, and the victim, an
inspector of the National Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
was rendered very seriously Ill.
While attending a police court wear
ing a pair of boots of the kind warned
against. he collapsed and his skin
turned from it's natural color to blue
and then to black.
He was taken to a hospital, and
oxygen had to be administered to re-
vive him and It was not until week
afterwards that he was we'll enough
to be sent home.
Tanning leather by means OF chro-
mic acid is the source of the trouble.
An analyst on the stan of the
Leathersellers' companys Technical
college described the dangers OF this
form Of tanning.
The process was invented by Prof.
Schultz In 1887. and It is known as
chrome tanning. At that time they
could not make II practical success,
and II remained in the experimental
stage for many years.
An American flrm then took It mp
and It is now the pioneer OF the pro
cess. The poisoning is due to chro-
mic acid, and occurs when the tanning
is not carefully done.
THE skin first goes into a bath OF
chronic acid. and is then changed
from the acid to a base-bath, in which
the acid is neutralized by reduction
with hyposulphite. II the chronic
acid is thoroughly neutralized the
leather is then perfectly safe and
harmless.
But II any free cnromic acid T. left
in the leather, blood poisoning may
result, and in the manufacture OF the
cheaper grades of leather there is a
danger that the process may not be
completely carried out.
In a factory a man who works al
the chronic acid bath is generally put
to work at the reducing bath too, SC
that any chronic acid in his hands
may be neutralized. II 1t is not he
gets chrome sores which are very
dangerous and are difficult to cure
Lanoline is largely used and recon-
mended now.
Chrome tanning is generally used
for upper leather and not often for
soles, because when wetted 1t gets
very slippery.

Sandwiches,

The sandwich was invented by the
Earl OF Sandwich. He was gambling
one evening, and not caring to break
the run OF his luck had a piece OF
meat laid between two slices OF bread.
Therefore the affair has ever since
been called sandwich. Let us be
glad that II was not invented by Lord
Daubigney, whose name is pronounced
Gorsuch.
There are many kinds of sand
wiches. The ordinary fve-cent kind
may be converted into a twenty-five
cent variety by adding a shriveled
leaf of lettuce.
All restaurant and hotel men be-
come fabulously rich by selling sand
wiches. They take two slices of
bread cut off the corners for use in
stuflng turkeys, slice the bread di-
agonally. put in a shred of ham or a
