IS SAVED BY WOODEN LEG
Bear, When Surprised, Claws Horse back Riders Artificial
 Limb.

Sudbury, Pa.-John Davidson, a Cat awissa mountain farmer, who lives near the town of that name, says ne is glad he has a wooden leg, for it saved him serious hurts in battle with a bear.
 Davidson says he was riding horse back along the Susquehanna which skirts dense mountain growths at that point, when he saw black bear fisa ing in the river It would dive down and come up with a fish in it's mouth fingered by his approach bruio dropped a fish and gave chase, but Davidson drew his revolver and fired. He missed. and the animal came oa after him and bit and clawed at his wooden leg.
 He fired again, and then freigh. train approached on railroad near by. This, together with the footing of the locomotive whistle, frightened the beast and 1t dropped to it's feet and ambled off into the woods. The farmer exhibited a torn pair of trous CTS and lacerated wooden leg to his friends as proof of the truth of his story.

 She plays fair game of tennis and her golf has improved rapidly under MT. Wilson's tuition. She proved an ardent baseball fan" at one of the re- cent world series games and it is said that the president arranged to see this contest at his tiancee's ex- pressed wish.
 Mrs. Galt has not devoted herself to her own amusement by any means. She is active in St Thomas Episcopal church. where she was for some time chairman of the Rector's Aid society. Besides other local charities she has done much work for the mountain whites of the South, an activity in which the first Mrs. Wilson was also a leader. Mrs. Galt's efforts have al ways been most unobtrusive.

Ancients Used Gas Warfare.

The earliest use of deleterious gases in siege warfare is recorded in the history of the Peloponnesian wars from 431 to 404 B. c. During this struggle between the Athenians and Spartans and their respective allies the cities of Platea and Delium were besieged.
 Wood saturated with pitch and sul- phur was set on fire and burned under the walls of these cities in order to generate choking and poisonous fumes which would stupefy the defenders and render the task of the attacking forces less difficult,

Representative women from all the cities of
Southern California are in FL Centre as dele
gates to the annual convention Of the Southern
division, California Federation Of Women's
Clubs. They arrived in large numbers last night
and this morning, and today began the serious
business of the convention work And this is Sc
rious work for these women. Forgetting the
stale jokes of the newspaper photographers re-
garding the life Of club women, their chief eff
forts are directed to the problems of intellectual
and civic betterment not simply of women, but
of the human race.
What the od-time lyceums and debating
societies were to the Middle West a generation
or two ago, as promoters of better life, the
Womans Club has become today, with the result
that the average woman is becoming, in matters
of culture and of knowledge of civic duties, the
superior Of the average man.
These particular women who are here today
and those who have been chosen in their several
communities as able eXpOnentS Of the ideals OF
the Womens Clubs, and because of their ability
and their high purposes the people of Imperial
Valley are especially inclined to extend a cordial
welcome.

How the Government Is
Protecting Meat Users

Washington, Nov. 9.-More than 5S,-
100000 meat animals were slaughtered
in establishments under federal in
spection during the fiscal year ending
June 80 1915 Since Approximately
from 5s to 80 per cent OF the animals
Killed in the country are slaughtered
in establishments where federal in
spection is maintained il appears that
about 1o0.o0o,00 meat animals are now
being killed each year in the United
states.
OF the animals subjected to federal
inspection, 299.95S were condemned as
unfit for human use, and 6i4.GSS were
condemned in part Thus a little more
than II. per cent of all the animals
inspected were condemned, either in
whole or in part These figures in
cludc only cattle. calves. sheep. goats
and swine.
tuberculosis was the chief cause Of
the condcmnations. More than 32.644
carcasses of cattle and $4,000 carcasses
of swine were entirely rejected on ac-
count of this disease, and in addition
parts of $4,000 cattle and 40. 900 swine.
Hog ch olera was responsible for the
next largest loss. nearly 10000 swine
being condemned entirely ON this ac-
count.
The annual appropriation for the
federal meat inspection service is now
about $3,375O 600 so that the cost to
the people would be between s ana 6
cents per animal if the service was
confined entirely to the inspection OF
the animals and earcasses. In addi-
tion, however, great quantities Of the
meat and products are reinspccted In
this item there was very consider
Imperial Valley press., 1915-11-09

able increase during the last fiscal
year, the reinspection resulting in the
condemnation of a total of nearly 49,
100000 pounds Of products of one kind
or another. Furthermore. 245, ,OO0 600
pounds of imported meat or meat pro-
ducts were inspected and more than
1000, OO0 pounds condemned or refused
entry.
In the course of its work, the Bu-
reau Of Animal Industry which is in
charge of the meat inspection serv-
ice has discovered n new method Of
destroying trichinae in pork. which Is
an additional safeguard to human
health. Refrigeration at tempera-
ture Of degrees Fehreinheit, or low
er. for a period OF % days. will de-
stroy these parasites. which occasion
ally give rise in human beings to the
serious disease known as trichinosis.
Hitherto the only know safeguard
against this disease has been thorough
cooking of all pork and pork pro-
ducts, and those persons who neglect
this precaution have always been more
or less exposed 10 the danger. Unless
pork is known to have been subjected
to refrigeration as above indicated it
should be thoroughly cooked. The
microscopic examination of pork for
the detection of trichinne has been
abandoned. as the usual methods have
proved inefficient
In this connection II Is interesting to
note that more swine were slaughtered
I'm the past year in establishments un-
der federal inspection than ever before.
A total of 36.247.95s were inspected at
the time of slaughter and appro Ximate-
Nv IS 800. 900 passed for food.
