RAW PORK CAUSES
DANGEROUS DISEASE
Federal Health Authorities
Issue a Warning Concern
ing TrichinOsis.
MISS LUCY BURLEsoN.

The risk of contracting trichinosfs
from eating raw or uncooked pork is,
according to health authorities, par
ticularly great at the Christmas sea
son in certain sections where persons
are accustomed to prepare special I'M
cooked pork products for holiday con-
sumption.
The illness which may result from
eating raw pork, known as trichinosis
is caused by a parasite, or a worm mi
croscopic in size, which occurs in the
flesh of hogs. There is no known eff
fective method of treating the disease
The patient dies or RECEIVERS appar-
emily irrespective of the nature of the
treatment In many cases patients who
have survived the acute stages of the
disease have had their health more or
less permanently impaired.
Statistics based on microscopic in
spection of over 5000, 900 hogs during
period of nine years in this country
have shown that 1.41 per cent. of the
hogs were infested with live trichi.
nae. This fact alone makes It import.
ant that every one who eats pork
should for the protection of health eat
it only when thoroughly cooked. In
this country there is no inspection for
trichinosis.
If trichinosis is to be avoided these
rules should be observed:
First. refrain from eating pork in the
raw state, including dried or smoked
saugages, hams, and in fact, any kind
of meat product made up wholly or in
part of raw pork.
Second, thoroughly cook all pork
which is to be eaten.
The trichina parasites die and be-
come harmless when exposed to tenn
perature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit for
a short time.

Two Bartenders Fined SIS and
Costs For Mixing in
Fun.
FOWL A SURE WINNER
Even Fights Police Attaches
i'm Court Room This
Morning.

Winning two turkeys at the gun club
turkey shoot, giving one with another
man to charity and then being attack
ed by bartender and a twenty-six
pound much-alive foul with a wing
stretch of more than four feet, is yes
terday's experience for J. c. Hoover.
John Thompson and Ed Milligan, bar
tenders, were fined IS and costs in
police court for the attack
After breaking ten birds and being
presented with the turkey for his skill
with the shotgun, Hoover took the big
bird under his arm and carried it
around until he was ready to go to his
home on Easthaven avenue.
Hoover ran to catch an interurban
at Fifth and Main streets. The turkey
kicked with powerful legs and squirm-
ed loose with strong wings.
Meets Waterloo.
After the struggle Hoover saw the
green lights on the car far away on
Main street, and went to call taxi
cab. He had the turkey swung over his
back when he was confronted by Mil
ngan, just closing the saloon where
he and Thompson tend bar.
What Hoover and Milligan believed
to be friendly argument, started in
which Hoover was accused of winning
the turkey unfairly
Then Thompson struck one blow on
Hooverfs shoulder, Earring the sensi-
tive turkey into action.
While the two tried to exchange
blows, the turkey bested the fighters
and hats flew in every direction. The
big wings beat both men as they tried
to strike each other. Then Mil1igan
fnterferred and he was almost floored
by a blow from the bird.
Remmert Appeara
Patrolman Remmert entered the me-
lee with a club but the turkey was a
game bird and knew It had only a
short time to live. The four wrestled
together but were lost and bewildered
under the force of the blows the tur-
key was still administering with feet
and wings.
Two witnesses interferred; Rem
inert took the party to Jail: and Hoo
yer subdued the excited turkey with
soothing words and strong arm.
Every one concerned looked tired
and haggard in police court this morn
ing but the turkey which sat on the
floor with its feet tied, using its long
wings to strike the feet of any body
who ventured near enough. Hoover
was released and purchased an ak
which he took home with his prize.
