Poisons In the Stomach.

A most curious fact is that all food
contains the elements of poison, and
in our body poisons are manufactured
from these. For instance, meat, fish,
cheese and milk are composed of by
drogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen.
Take away the last and you have prus-
sic acid. We do not manufacture
pfussic acid, it is true. But in every
stomach in the world fermentation
goes on just as IN brewery, and the
poisonous carbonic geld is made in
large quantities. If you breathed
few days output Of carbonic acid gas
you would inevitably die. Sulphuret-
ed hydrogen is one Of the most deadly
gases known, yet in every stomach it
is made at one time or another. In the
stomach all food is converted into
what we call ."peptone," and if very
small quantity Of this found it's way
into the blood it would kill as surely
as prussic acid.-Pearson's Weekly
Boiled Milk.
When boiling milk most people throw
away the skin which forms as the
milk coo1s. This skin is, of course, the
cream Of the milk, and by throwing it
away the richness Of the milk is vast
ed. Instead, when the milk is just
boiled, put it into a jug and stand it
in basin not as deep as the jug and
let cold water run into the basin to
cool the milk quickly. At the same
time stir the milk, and the cream will
intermix again. When the milk is cold
there will be no skin, and it will there
fore be as rich in cream as before be-
ing boiled.

New York, Jan. 13-The plant OK

in which were stored hundreds OF thou-
sands of three-inch shells destined Tor

it was said it might reach $4,OOO,OOO-
Approximately 1,400 men were em-
ployed in the plant, which comprised
between 40 and so buildings and coy-
cred about 80 acres of ground. No
munitions were manufactured at
Kingsland, but the plant was used for
the filling Of shells, the chief consttz.
tuent used being trinitroteluol, one
the most powerful explosives known,
While it was estimated that nearly
100000 shells exploded, primary fuses
or caps had not been attached to them
and consequently their destination did

The roar of the shells, which sound
ed like a cannonade from heavy guns,
was heard for miles, however, and the
conclusions shook buildings within a
wide radius of the plant.
Two big magazines in which were
stored trinitrotoluol, nitric acid, and
powder were not reached by tho
flames, and it was believed they were
not in danger.
