To Peel a Pineapple

Hold the pineapple with the
crown end away from you and
with a sharp knife shave off the
sharp ends of the crown. This
gives you handle to hold the
pine butt-end up. With the knife
Icut off the bottom of the pine and
then peel downward toward the
crown and towards you. After
the peeling is off dig out the eyes
with the blade Of the knife. The
eyes left in a pineapple, when eat
en- will cause sore mouth, as will
the peeling itself.
To serve ON the table, cut the
Ipine lengthwise, as this will leave
1.-THE solid core attached to the
handle. The core may be eaten
by itself by the cook, as it is as
palatable as piece OF turnip
Never serve the core at the table
The long strips of pineapple
should be eaten from the fingers
or a fork. 1t is unwise to serve
fresh pineapple with cake or any
thing sweet, or following anything
sweet. Though pineapple may
be sweet, if one just previously
eats something sweet the pine vii
taste sour. There is a physiologi
cal reason for this.
Pineapple contains digestive
principle similar to pepsin. 1t il
Of value as an aid to digestion, of
ten overcoming intestinal troubles
and of special value in sore throat

man, it is ga God-send to on,

Patriotism and Power

Safety is first aid to the unin-
jursd!
Forewarned is mot always
forearmed, because advance adj
vice without common sense is like
a gun without ammunition, good
to have but of little real USE
The near approach Of another
Fourth of July is bringing out the
usual warnings in newspaper ar
ticles and editorials. They are
copies of what was printed last
year and the year before and the
| year before that, and they will
have probably just about as much
effect as all the publications ON
the subject that have preceded
them. The records from year to
year show, the country over, a.
bout the same number of distress
ing accidents from the careless
use of fireworks and toy pistols in
the hands of boys from six to sixty
years old.
| And in as much as it is reason
ably safe to predict the usual
crop of mishaps this year, it is
well to be prepared for the newt
liable.
The innocent bystander" is a
frequent partner with the boy in
these mishaps and we have a kind
of sympathy for him, even though
his trouble comes from being too
near to bad company. With the
boy himself it is different, for he
knows, and if he does not his faith
er and mother ought to, that he is
tempting fate for his own disfg-
urement and multilation, in the
use of even the simplest forms of
fireworks.
| And so it comes that first aid to
the injured is an important pro-
position in this connection. The
burns and deeper wounds caused
by exploding powder are likely to
Iproduce tetanus, resulting in its
final development in lockjaw. The
horrors of death from this cause
are similar to those produced by
rabies, wherein the patient con-
scious to the end, suffers nxcru-
eating agonies.
TetarEs develops usually in ST.
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1915-07-01

to eight days after injury and fol-
lowing this disease speeds to a
quick conclusion. Therefore, the
time for effective treatment is be-
fore tetanus developes. A large
part of the danger in the situation
comes from the delay in getting
treatment-preventive treatment.
The only reasonably certain pre-
|ventive, so far as has been discov-
cred is the anti-tetanic serum, the
prompt use of which has so large
ly reduced the development of te-
tanus that it's failure is the excep-
ton. It's administration requires
the service of the physician, but
every doctor in these days is pre-
pared to give this treatment.
Therefore, if Johnny or Willie
has a disastrous encounter with a
giant firecracker exploding prema-
turely, or happens to be too near
or at the wrong end of pistol
that explodes blank cartridges,
the only thing left to do is to send
for the doctor, or get to him as
fast as the speed laws permit, and
on the way indulge in few earn
est prayers that you won't be too
late to give the doctor at least a
fair chance.
The danger from such burns is
too serious to take chances with.
The injury at first may not seem
serious, it may not be excessively
painful, but the possibilities for
infection are too great to be risk

prepared to die, who really does
not want to commit suicide, will

In his report to Marshal Erwin for the month of February Deputy Mar shal Thomas H. Long, of Ruby writes:
 "There have been several small stampedes in this immediate district during the last month, but so far they have resulted in nothing more than good prospects only. The last one was in the near vicinity of Ruby, be- ing just over the hill on Glacier creek, a tributary of Big creek not over two miles from town. From the bottom of a shaft it is claimed they secured forty-nine cents from nine pans and a lay has been taken on the claim.
 Boston creek is another nearby creek which is being crosscut, and if the aforementioned and this creek should develope into pay of consider able extent Ruby will be a very busy community"

cident of sickness and lengthen life.
The organized feeding Of school
children recognizes the possibilities of
the school lunch as a factor in the
public health propaganda.
The health aspects of the school
feeding movement are varied and
any discussion of it leads us to con
slider the larger problems of food and
how it affects health. We give here a
summary of how food may disas-
trously affect health. taking the ad-
mirable material collected by
Rosenau.
1. Some foods may be directly
poisonous; an example of this Is
seen in plants which contain poison
Gus alkaloids
2. There may be a development of
poisOns in foods as a result of bac-
terial contamination; an example OF
this is sausage poisoning.
3. Foods which are poisonous be-
cause of adulteration, such as from
the addition of lead. copper, arsenic,
formaldehyde, sulphites, etc, to pre-
serve appearance of color, or to alter
taste.
4. Foods containing animal para
sites such as trichina and tapeworms
These infections occur usually as an
temortem infections in the animals
On plant life infection may be carried
through the eggs or larvae Of the ami
NAL parasites.
5. Foods containing vegetable
parasites. Pathogenic bacteria are
not infreQuently found in both ami
nal and vegetable foods. They are
more frequent, however, in animal
foods.
6. Foods may also contain special
poisons. such as ergot in rye or
solanin in sproutod potatoes.
Z. Food may be inimical to health
where it is taken in large quantities
or where certain foods are ingested
without proper balance. Excess feed

Of freight by the carriers will amount
to $2OO,0OOOOO year. In brief, the
amendment, which is now part of

actual loss, damage or injury to pro-
perty transported by them. Notwith-
standing any limitation of liability, or
