POISON IS FOUND
IN BURMA BEANS
RETAILERS WHO HAVE STOCK
OF VEGETABLES ON HAND
MUST DESTROY THEM.
Prussic Acid Is Found by State Chem
ist and Further sale of Imported
Food From India Is Forbidden; a
Number Of Montana Merchants Get
Stung.

All the Burma beans which were
shipped into Montana a couple of
months ago, and which have been
hald by retail dealers awaiting per-
mission Of the state authorities, have
been ordered destroyed. The state
board of health made the order on
receipt of the report of the analysis
made at the state laboratory at Boze-
man, showing that prussic acid in
considerable quantities was found in
the beans.
The federal government has also
excluded them from interstate ship
ment, so that no more can come into
Montana.
Professor w. M. Cobleigh, of the
state food laboratory, who made the
examination, states that the danger
from the beans does not come from
poison which has been added arti-
flcially to the beans but from the ma
ture of the beans themselves. They
nave a poisonous effect on some peo-
pie, which causes serious illness and
death.
These beans are grown in India,
where they probably are raised as
stock food. They so closely recemble
the American navy bean that it takes
close observation to detect the diff
ference. Dealers, finding that they
could buy the Burma beans at less
than the cost of the American beans,
began ordering when they were put
on the market. In number of
towns customers who bought the
Burma product were made ill. The
beans were sold to Montana dealers
by the Nearman Fruit company of
Minneapolis. Through them the
names of retailers in the state who
had the beans were discovered, so
that all of the beans were traced by
the state authorities.
