PANAMA INDIANS
START REVOLT
By Associated Press.)

PANAMA, June 21.-In order that
the rebellious Indians of the San Bias
coast shall be made to recognize the
authority of the Panama Government
President Porras proposes to prevent
any of the outlaw districts from trad
ing with outsiders. He has issued a
decree which practically makes it
felony for anyone to trade with certain
Indian villages. A heavy fine is impos-
ed for the first offense while fine and
jail sentence is imposed for the second.
President Porras recently visited
the San Bias coast for the purpose of
inauguerating his scheme of govern
ment monopoly in the trade of that
section of Panama and to insure the
collection of import and export duties.
Most of the Indian chiefs have recog-
hIzeu Lne oVerlordshlp or the president
of Panama, but there are number of
them who persistently refuse to parlev
with the Great White Chief and declare
their intention of having nothing to do
with the government of Panama. These
chiefs and their villages are to be is
olated if the Presidents plan works.
In a number of villages the presi-
dent found the Colombian flag still
flying, the Indians declaring they have
never even heard of the establishment
of Republic of Panama. These were
pulled down promptly and the Panama
flag substituted.

purpose. On farms where there is an
ice house, the meat may be placed in
some form of closed retainer and bu-
ried in the ice. In any event, the
meat must be carefully screened from
flies. The danger from infection from
these pests has been pointed out many
times, but familiarity breeds contempt
and they still persist. The fly not
only does the meat itself no good, but
it may readily deposit upon it some
infection, which is carried in turn by
the meat into the human system. Some
flies will deposit their eggs on the meat
and these In short time will become
maggots and the meat is "f1y blown"
Much sickness that is popularity
ascribed to ptomaine poisoning or to
bad food in general is really caused in
some such way as this, the food, in
itself perfectly wholesome, acting
merely as a mechanical carrier for the
germs" which cause the trouble. Some
of these sorts come from the human
intestine and their presence is a sure
indication that filth is present, even
if the amount is too small to be seen.
Filth of this kind may be carried by
dust, but more often it comes from
soiled hands. One might wish tina,
every kitchen could have the sign
! round in some we'll managed food fac
tories, When you leave the room for
any purpose, wash your hands before
| you return to work"
Germs which grow in foods and
cause illness, grow very rapidly, par
! ticularly if the food is a little warm,
and are not destroyed unless the food
is well cooked before serving. Simply
warming up" is not enough as was
found in the case of illness recently
reported after eating some warmed-up
creamed vegetable. Certain kinds OF
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-06-21

food-creamed chicken, or custard or
warm vegetables, for example-are ex-
cellent culture mediums for bacteria
which may have been introduced into
them by accident. For this reason it
is a safe rule to have as short time
as possible intervene between the prep
aration of food and its consumption.
Broth is another excellent medium
and in consequence should be drained
off if it is intended to keep the meat
for any length of time before serving.
If the broth is used also it should be
boiled thoroughly first. All food, cook
ed or uncooked, should be kept in a
clean, cool place in order to reduce
the danger of infection to a mini
mum.
When meat must for any reason DO
kept for unusually long periods of
time, or when the conditions are I'M
usually unfavorable, scalding may be
resorted to advantageously. Dropping
the meat into boiling water for a few
minutes will not seriously affect its
flavor when it ultimately appears upon
the table, and it will put 1t in much
better condition for keeping. 1t is i'm
portant, however, that it be dipped in
large body of boiling water. If only
small amount of water is used, the
introduction of the meat will lower
the temperature to such an extent that
the whole process becomes worthless
With such meats as veal or pork,
which are always-or ought to be-
thoroughly done, the precaution can
be carried further and the joints par
TALLY cooked before being stored
away. Cares hould be taken, how
ever to see that the re-cooking is
thoroughly done.

tional precautions on the part of the

GUARDING MEAT
FROM THE HEAT
A FEW SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE WHO DOES NOT
WANT HER SUPPLIES TO SPOIL.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

tSpGClal 10 llu6S-Il6COIucEsJ
WASHINGTON, D. c., June Il
"A few simple precautions will aid
the housewife in keeping meat .un-
tainted in hot weather. 1t is of course,
common knowledge that the higher the
temperature, the quicked meat will
spoil, but the family's supplies are
not absolutely at the mercy of the
thermometer. Ice and cleanliness are
two great weapons of defense.
For many families a refrigerator is
obviously out of the question, but it is
perhaps better to have no refrigerator
at all than neglected one. Merely
to wash it out occasionally does little
good it should be thoroughly scalded
at frequent intervals, in particular
the drain. This, if overlooked, is apt
to harbor fungus growths, which may
spread to the food. On one occasion
a man applied to the department of
agriculture, because he had found
that a joint of beef placed in his re-
frigerator had turned peculiar bright
red. Upon examination it was ascer-
tained the meat was covered with
peculiar fungous growth, due en-
tirely to the condition of the refrigera-
tor. Growths of this kind co not al
ways advertise themselves so promi
nently and there may be much evil III
an ice box that the eye can not de-
tect.
If the refrigerator drain is not thor
oughly cleaned, moreover, it is likely
to become choked, the water is not |
carried off quickly enough and little
pools are left standing in the interior
Dampness is one of the conditions
most favorable to bacterial growth.
An ice box in this state will not pro-
tect food long. 1t is, in fact, a wise
precaution to wipe the interior of q
refrigerator every day with a dry
cloth.
The temperature of the average re
frigerator is higher than most per-
sons suppose and in those households
where a regular supply of ice is not
obtainable, a cool cellar, a spring
house or the depths of we'll may be
made to serve somewhat the same

Maxwell's Back Dividends.

A plan for the wiping out Of the l4A
per cent back dividends on the $4,000
600 first preferred stock of the Max
we'll Motor Company is being consld-
cred by the board of directors. The
method TO be adopted, according to one
Of the directors, may be an issue OF
warrants convertible into the hrst pre-
ferred at par for the amount OF the &C
cumulated payments. As this issue is
now on the regular per cent dividend
basis the putting into operation OF the
plan under consideration would leave
The way open for disbursements on the
second preferred, as earnings on the
$4,000. 900 outstanding, according TO
the company's annual report recently
issued. were equal TO more than IL
per cent. The stock is s per cent non
cumulative. On August 10 last, II
addition 10 declaring the regular quar-
terly dividend OF Ia per cent on the
first preferred, :hreefourths per cent
was declared on account OF the ac-
cumulated dividends. The Maxwell 49,
sues were active on the exchange yes
terday. The common sold as high as
56B. the first preferred touched 20 and
the second preferred 47ss. In the de-
cline during the last half hour part Of
the gains were lost, but oil three
scored advances Of point and more
