Ptomaine Danger Unfounded,
Says Agricultural Department.

perts-Uroe More Consump-
ton to Help the Business.

Washington. - Recent investiga-
lions carried on by the department of
agriculture appear to indicate that the
prejudice against the eating of fish.
especially frozen fish, because OF the
alleged danger of ptomaine poisoning,
Is quite unfounded," says statement
issued by Secretary Houston. "a par
tial decomposition of either fish or
meat may result in the formation of
certain substances that cause diges-
tive trouble These substances are
popularity known as ptomaine, al
though many of them have not yet
been fully studied and their nature de-
termined. The whole question is
very complex one, but there is, how
ever. no reason for assuming that
there is any more likelihood of pto-
maines in fish than in meat. New
processes of preserving fish by freez-
ing. glazing and cold storage make 1t
as safe an article as meat.
"This popular prejudice has done
much to hinder the development OF
what might be far greater industry
and has prevented the people from
obtaining wholesome. economical
and attractive substitute for meat at
the very time when the price of meat
has been rising rapidly.
"Many persons eat fish only on fast
DAYS, and especially on Fridays. The
idea that FRIDAY is fish day has COM
palled the fish trade to do what
amounts largely to a one-day-in-the-
week business. This, of course, has
tended to make prices higher than
necessary. With the increased de-
mand the supply of fish would be
much larger, and II the consumption
were distributed evenly throughout
the week the waste would be much
less and the prices should conse-
uuently be lower.

tical experience have shown that q

Indeed, for many decades OF lts
history our navy got along without q
naval academy. Midshipmen went to
sea from the first and learned how TO
use big gun on the deck OF man-o-
war. Navigation was learned from
the officers of the ship as they d1d the
actual work. A senior officer mlgnb

or he might not.
It was not until 1845, in the days OF
James K Polk, when George Bancroft
was secretary Of the navy, that the
agitation for q naval school gained
headway. Fomented principally by the
younger officers, who saw as the navy
increased that the requirements were
multiplied, the tide began to rise I'M
til it brought the first buildings to the
grounds OF Fort Severn.

Efficient Post Office Service Now.


The fact that the parcel post is
now operating on generous and ma
tion-wide scale is sufficient justif1ca-
ton for increased expenditures, even
though they had not been made neces-
sary by the growth Of the country.
The post Office department has
never been self-sustaining, but the
people of the country have been quite
ready to pay the bin so long as eff
cient service was rendered They are
now getting more for their money

lively small excess In expenditures,
especially In view Of the depression
in postal revenues following the war,

Dean Mumford of the Missouri Col

bluegrass pasture, where the land
costs about one hundred dollars per

SOME SAYINGS OF
EVANGELIST SUNDAY
Famous Preacher Does Not
Mince Words, And Shots
Are Always Hot.

Evangelist William A. Sunday,
better known as Billy" Sunday, has
way all his own. Here are a few
of his paragraphs, taken from a re-
cent sermon:
Sin is a rattlesnake and not a
cream.puff.
You never heard of a man mar
rying woman to reform her.
Better limp all the way to heaven
than not Get there at all.
The devil hates the church, but
he likes the work some highbrows
do in it.
Some Of the worst devils in the
world have their names on the
church records.
Some Of the biggest rooms in hell
will be crowded full of church men,
bers.
Of all the contemplate people on
earth believe the worst are the
weasel-eyed, lantern-jawed, hatchet-
faced, grim-visaeed, knock-kneed,
hammered-down eossips.
DO you know that an angel in
heaven couldn't come down and
mix with the people you meet every
day and then 60 back to heaven
without being fumieated and clean
ed with carbolic acid, formaldehyde
and lye.
You put society first. If you put
God at all he has to come tagging
after some beer, wine or champagne
soaked society leader and has to
play second fiddle and be a trailer
to every jack-rabbit proposition
that comes along.

their false teeth; they sing Ninety

ways will be true, that he is great
est who does the most of good.
And yet, what a revolution it will
work in this old world when this
standard becomes the standard of
every life. Nearly all of our con-
troversies and combats arise from
the fact that we are trying to get
something from each other. Our
enmities and animosities arise from
each other. Our enmities and ami
moSities arise from our efforts to get
as much as possible out of the
world-there will be peace when
our endeavor is to put as much
as possible into the world. Society
will have taken an immeasurable
step toward peace when it estimates
a citizen by his output rather than
by his income and gives the crown
of its approval to the one who
makes the largest contribution to
the welfare of all.-Extract from

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cam
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
situtional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube, When this tube Is inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-.
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
to Its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever, nine cases out
OF ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inhamed condi-
tion Of the mucous surfaces.
