FOOD POISONING.
Phone Douglas SsI7

The part that food plays in the
animal economy is second to none.
Food contains all the various chemical
elements found in nature. Medicine
makes use of the various chemical ele-
ments found in nature. Thus it is
easily understood that there is no def
mite line of demareation between food
and medicine. Coffee is a common ar
tiele of food; it contains eaffein,
medicine, known as a quick stimulant.
Thus it may be shown that tea, Gu
eumber, pie plant, figs, prunes and vari-
Gus other vegetable as we'll as animal
foods are medicinal in composition and
action. Now medicine to be effective
must be concentrated, must be dyna-
mic. We can readily understand the
danger of getting food too high in
medicinal power. 1t would be equiv
alent to getting overdoses of medicine.
Now we can from such a premise,
though it is incomplete, realize the
value of those who preside over the
culinary department All hail the pow
er of the cook! God bless the cook!
1t is a self evident fact that the body
not only requires merely food but pure
food in order to promote health and
maintain physical life. During hot
weather, foods are more liable to pro-
duee disease than at any other time.
That is especially true of milk prod
uets such as iee-eream, eustards and
cheese. During the summer months
foods are easily rendered poisonous by
contamination from outside sources.
Such contamination is due to decay,
fermentation by the action of disease
producing organisms, called pathogenic
bacteria 1t is well to know that
some heterogeneous produce desirable
changes in the foods, for instance the
bulgarian bacillus changes sweet milk
into the often nourishing and curative
as well as disease preventing butter
milk. So we must remember that we
have the non-pathOgenie as well as the
pathOgenie bacteria. The vigilant
housewife with her trained eye must
know more of desirable and undesirable |
food than she is given credit for in this
battle Of life. She knows poisonous
changes by sight and by taste and by
smell. Have you ever watched her de-
teeting the danger that turks in the
foods and thus protecting the whole
from cholera and other plag-
uesi She knows that foods of all
kinds may become contaminated by the
bacteria (eall it what you willy of
the products of which
may be highly poisonous.
Food may contain the tuberele bacil-
lus that produces tuberculosis. Typhoid
germs may be conveyed by the milk
supply, producing typhoid fever. Scar

dAHrPREIL.

, Last Sunday afternoon Mrs. Ida B.
Wells Barnett, president Of the Negro
Fellowship League, went down to Joliet
in response TO an invitation Of the
Orispus Attueks Club Of that City. This
Club had conferences relative to aid
ing the employment of a Negro attor-
ney to defend Joe Campbell who is in
the Will County Jail awaiting the ae-
ton of the Grand Jury. When Mrs.
Barnett arrived in Joliet, no one there
had seen Campbell to learn whether he
had employed a lawyer. Finding this
had not been done, a committee was
appointed to wait upon the sheriff to
seek an audience with Campbell. The
sheriff was absent but the jailer replied
that Campbell had just received a let
ter from the Negro Fellowship League
Offering to secure him counsel and that
he had answered the letter; that if
the writer Of that letter, who is also
the president of the Negro Fellowship
League, is in town, she would be per-
mitted to have an interview with him.
The committee called for Mrs. Bar
nett and Immediately went to the Jail,
saw Campbell who authorized her to
employ an attorney. He also said that
he had no attorney present when he
had been quiZzed in the penitentiary;
that after it was over, lawyer Williams
who had defended him when he was
on trial here in Chicago, had called
to see him but that he had not offered
to defend him now, or did he ask him
to do so. He also told Mrs. Barnett
that he had answered her letter and
she would find it in Chicago on her re-
turn.
She then returned to the Baptist
Church of which Rev. Mason is pastor,
and addressed a large audience, telling
them the facts and showed them how
they could help Campbell and incident
Iy the whole race. The club immedi-
ately voted to cooperate with the Negro
Fellowship League in raising money for
Campbell's defense and subscription
books were opened at once for this
purpose.
The following is the letter which
Mrs. Barnett found on her return to
Chicago, having been received from
Campbell:
