EXPLAINS POISONING BY FOOD
Science Has Discarded Theory, Long
Held, That Ptomanes Are the
Cause of Infection.

Poisoning by food is no longer cx-
planned as "ptomaine poisoning" but
In an address to the American Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of Science
DR.. r.. .. Jordan showed that it is due
either TO true bacterial toxins compnra-
bic to those Of diphthcrin aud tctanuS
bacilli. or to Infection with specific in
fcctiOn carried by the food article. The
best known example Of the tOXin-fOvHi-
ing microbes is the bacillus botuIinuS
which has produced in The United
States % recorded cases Of poisoning
of which II were lin California, while
Great Britain has reported no case.
This type Of poisoning is rare, but in
fcction with f0od-bornc disease bnc-
,rria seems to occur in Il great number
OF cases. The bacteria are either pres
eat in the food itself, or the food is
contaminated from human sources.
The chief fOOd-bornc infections hith-
crt0 traced to human contamination
are typhoid fever and the various
paratyphoid infections; but to these
must be added certain infections rare
~ transmitted by any food except
milk, such rs diphthcria, scarlet fever.
and strcptococcus sore throat Tho
type Of infection from food contain
mated at its source is cXempltlcd in
the diseases Of certain food animals
The chief infections known to be due
to food Infected at its source are those
mainly mcat-borne-causcd by the
group Of paratyphoid cntcrtidis bac-
tcria, and those resulting from the use
Of !nfcctcd milk. The bacterial dis
eases of plants do not infect man.

LESSON WAS TOO REALISTIC

The instructor continued by saying

just as he finished this explanation,
Il scream was heard outside followed
by several pistol shots. The outer door
into the basement of the town library,
where the class was being held, was
flung open. Two men, struggling to.
gethcr, their clothes drcnchcd in blood,
rolled down the steps into the room.
There were means from the writhing

only to the outer door, but to friend

Nor when the. doctor went across to
them, and explained that the shooting

turn.

Training Little Children.

Children are SO opcn-heartcd and
ready and respond SO Sweely and
quickly to faith and trust that we often
miss great happiness by not sharing
our hopes and joys more freely with
them.
II we keep the bond very close, our
home will become the great meeting
place Of all children, and this.love and
companionShlp between parents and
children will be like powerful mag
net whose attraction the children can
not resist.
So, from these beginnings the home
tie will be so strengthened that we
need never fear that the allurcmcntS
Of the world can draw our children
from US, but can rest assured that they
will always return to the "centcr Of
deep rcpose."

the Popular Science Monthly Notice
how they seize things with their fists.
They do not use their fingcr-cnds as
we do. While the higher monkeys,
such as gorillas ana chimpnnzccs, may
be taught to use their fingers, they
never learn to use them as easily as
40 human beings.
The monkey is primarily tree
dwcller. 1t lives in forests ana swings
from tree to tree, using it's hands as
hooks with which it grnsps the

never used his wrist, and so 1t has lost

his fist to better advantage than his
hands.
Man, on the other hand, has used his
feet so long simply for the purpose of
walking, that he would experience con-
siderable difficulty in using them rs

how quickly man can learn to use

Remedies for the Earache.

For an carnchc, dry heat is the SAT-
est remedy. Never should the mother
drop oil or anything else into the ear
without being especially ordered to 90

With Il flannel cover, Il kid glovc-iingcr
filed with salt and then heated In the
oven, or simply, q flannel made very
hot and covered by another one to hold
in the heat, may be placed over the
bnby'S ear to relieve the pain. If this
does not seem enough, then small
rubber car-Syringe may be filled with
hot water; and while the lobe of the
ear IS gently held downward and back
ward the mother should use the
syringe carefully, then apply tho hot
flannel after drying out the ear. When
pus has formed, or if this simple treat
mcnt does not relieve the acute pain,
doctor should be asked to examine
the car. Possibly the drum membrane
may need to be opened. Hot boric
acid solution or some other disinfect-
ant will be needed to syringe the
car If puS is -Marinnna

Worms That Thrive on Ice.

They are dark brown, slender and
about an inch in length. On favorable
days in July and August millions and
millions OF them may be found writh-

breeding there and-fccding on organic
matter blown upon the glacier in the
Sorm of dust. $50 essential to their

GREAT WRITERS NEAR DUEL

Tolstoy and Turgencv, famous Rus

from recent biography, this is the
story of their quarrel: The two ia

Turgcncv spoke enthusiastically Of
his young daughters new English gov

the child to mend old, ragged clothes
to give to the poor. ''DO you consider

Lightning at Sea.

When proper precautions are taken
ships at sea are I'm no danger of being
destroyed by lightning. or all the dan
gers that besct. the seaman, lightning
is the only one that he can guard
against with perfect thoroughncss.
Permanent conductors, properly ar
ranged, offer the most complete pro
lection from the electric lluid.
Before this fact was well under
stood, lightning was q very frequent
cause Of damage to shipping In 1S0S
to 1915 no fewer than seventy vessels
of the English navy were entirely Grip
pied by being struck. 1t was Il no un-
common thing for vessels to be set on
fire so completely by lightning as to
defy extinction, with the result that
those on board who were not killed by
the electric discharge in many in
stances probably lost their lives
through being unable to let down the
boats before the fire reached them.

Chinese Queues Not Barred.

Although the traffic in human hair
has not been SO brisk during the past
few years as formerly on account of
the vccring of the fashions in hair
dressing toward the EXTREMIST simple
tty, there are millions OF pounds of
human hair exported from China. One
Of the peculiar fnctS In connection
with the trade Is that often after the
Chinese send the hair to us we treat
1t and dye it and send it back to be
made up for special use. This is usual
~ true in regard to the invisible hair
nets which American and European
women use to keep their own locks
in order on windy day.
The hair-nct business has become Of
great importance to the province Of
Shantung, which now provides practic-
ally the entire supply for the market.

To Make Your Shoes LAST

Whcn your shoe leather gets dry or

the popular Science Monthly. TO do
thiS, first brush off all mud and then
wash the shoe in warm water, driving It
with soft cloth.
Whtic the shoe is still wet, apply the
OH or grease rubbing 1T in with Swab
OF wool, or better still, With the palm
or the hand. After treatment. the
shoes should be left to dry in q warm

Real Purpose of the State.

The ultimate purpose Of the state
is not TO rule men, to keep them in
fear, to subject them to the Will Of
others, but, on the contrary, to allow
each rs far as possible to live In Sc
curity, that is, TO preserve for each
his natural right to live without harm
TO himself or to his neighbor. No, re.
peat the object Of the state IS not to
transform reasonable beings into ami
mails or automatic; its object Is to on
able the citizens TO develop in security
their bodies and their minds, freely TO
employ rccir reason. The true end OF
the state, therefore, is liberty

DEMAND FOR TANLAC
~

Over Ten Million Bottles Sold and
Distributed in Three Years.
SUCCESS PHENOMENAL.
Fame sf the Medicine Spreads
Over Whole Nation-NoW Sold
From Coast to Coast.

Never before, perhaps, IN all MS
tory has the demand for proprle-
tary medicine ever approached the
wond1yful record that is now being
mace by Tanlac, the celebrated medl-
cine which has been accomplishing
such remarkable results IN all parts
of the country. -.
From coast to coast and from the
Gulf to the Great Lakes, Tanlac IS
known and honored. Millions nave
t,ken it and have pronounced II tne
.reatest medicine ever given to the
people. and the only explanation OF
Tanlac's triumph in the medical world
;s Tanlac's true worth. Back OF ran
lac's triumph in the drug stores is
Tanlac's triumph in the homes. 1t is
the neoples medicine and the people
themselves have made Tanlac what
it is.
No matter where you go, Tanlac is
q household word and it is unquestlon-
ably the most widely talked-of medl-
cine in the world today. One person
invariably tells another about meol-
cine that helps him and In this way
scores or even hundreds may hear OF
Tanlac as direct result OF one bottle
IN a single home.
The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just a little over
three years ago in the thriving little
CITY of Lexington, KY. where 10000
bottles of the medicine were sold IN
only few months. Since that time
there have been sold throughout the
United States something over ten
million bottles, and a romance which
iy, tho modern hJ1c1-
ness world has begun.
The instant and phenomenal success
which Tanlac won in Lexington has
been duplicated in practically every
large town, small town, village and
hamlet in North America, Hawaii,
Alaska, Cuba, Porto Rico and other
for Tanlac.
Just a few months ago, it was an
nounced in the Atlanta papers that
twenty-five carloads, 265,476 bottles
of Tanlac had been sold through the
Atlanta office alone. Since that time,
2,234,524 bottles have been sold, and
the grand total now stands at over
two million and half bottles.
These are actual figures, and the
fact that two hundred and fifty-eight
carloads of Tanlac have been sold and
shipped into the South and West
since the first day of October, 1915,
is a matter of record and can easily
be verified
One retail firm alone, the Jacobs
Pharmacy Co., of Atlanta, have sold
the astonishing total of $4,000 bottles
within the past twelve months. What
is true Of Atlanta is also true Of prac
ticall5- pvprV larre citV of the SClit h
and West, where the sales have been
correspondence large.
The greatest drug firms of the
country have voluntarily come for
ward and stated in plain, cold figures,
the record breaking sales, everywhere,
as is evidenced BY the startling sales
records shown in the following fig
-ures:
Texas and Oklahoma dealers have
sold in only five months time the as
tonishing total of approximately five
hundred thousand bottles or an aver
