MORE TRicHINosIS
Young Orleans Woman Made III Eat
ing Bear Meat

Another case of trichinosis is
thought to have developed at Orleans
from eating the bear meat which has
already resulted in the death of one
man, E. A. Baldwin of Baldwins Mills,
p. O., and placed Mr.. and Mrs. l.. K.
Heath of Orleans in serious condi-
tion. The new case which is thought
to have developed is Miss Mary Seal
burg, young school girl, who was
working at the Heath home at the
time that meat containing the trichi-
nosis worm was eaten. The bear was
sent to Mr.. and Mrs. Heath at Or
leans from Mrs. Heath's father, E. A.
Baldwin, living near Stanstead. P. c..
about 20 days ago. Evidently the
meat was not cooked sufficiently by
either family to kill the parasite for
both those at the Canadian home and
those in Orleans who ate part of the
meat have been stricken with the di-
sease. The condition of Mrs. Heath
remains about the same and is not
thought now to be serious, but the
condition of Mr.. Heath is steadily
growing worse and he is critically i'll.
The disease which is rare in any case
is usually transmitted through the me-
dium of pork which is infected with
the tiny trechina worm.

THOSE AMERICAN SHELLS.

Official information from London and Paris reveals the truth regarding the volume and importance of muni
 on shipments to the Allies -
 For year have been told, the British minister of munitions announces that the munitions of which have been received the United States form but small portion of those which have been utilized the British front" And while the minister refuses officially give definite figures for of policy is author
 aivey the basis of information supplied by his department that American munitions actually used by the British forces have been less than per cent of the total" Great Britain with Canadas aid is making all the ammunition she needs and could do without shipments if she chose to- is, they go to insure surplus.
 The French ministry of munitions states explicitly that American made shell has been fired from any French gun up the present tme and that not msre than 10 per of the shells manufactured in France made from materials imported from the United States
 Our muntion traffic looks huge us, but it is trivial compared with the output in the beigerent countries isn't evident at all that American shells going to de eide the war" Even present volume of intuition exports likely to during the present year. thn industries of the foreign countries become fully modified.
