against ratification.
The presidents letter, addressed to
Senator Hitchcock and dated yester-
day, follows:
My dear Senator:
You were good enough to bring me
word that the democratic senator's
supporting the treaty expected to hold

PtOmain Poisoning.
Putrefaction, decomposition or

action. Among the products Of this
bacterial action are ammonia, sui

hydrogen gas, and ptomains. Pto-
mains are heterogeneous compounds
resembling vegetable alkaloids
such as strychnine and morphine
in effect. Not all ptomains are poi
sonous; many are without any ap-
probable effect on man.
Most cases of alleged ptomain
poisoning are in reality infections
with certain bacteria which may be
present in meat or fish not kept
properly refrigerated or in meat
minced or chopped, as in Hamburg
steak and in sausage, since such
meat is liable to additional infec-
ton from much handling, and the
bacteria pervade the minced parti-
cies more readily than they do larg-
er pieces.
One type Of bacteria known to
cause nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting.
abdominal cramps, extreme thirst
and fever some "a hours. more or
less, after eating the meat, is the
Bacillus botulinus, most commonly
in sausage.
A thick piece of sausage may be
heated up to 1873 degrees Fahren-
heit in cooking. yet the tempera-
ture in the center OF the sausage
will not rise above body heat
which, of course, would be INSULT
Gent to destroy any bacteria in
the meat. The moral is, don't cook
your sausage in large balls.
Paratyphoid bacilli of two strains
called Paratyphoid-A and Paraty-
phoid-B, have been conveyed 10
man through meat that has been
handled in an uncleanly manner in
the slaughter house or in the
butcher shop, especially when such
meat is not kept constantly refrig-
Grated. This infection may be car
ried to meat by flies from neigh
boring filth.
All of these different types OF
bacteria belong to one group, pro-
ducing similar effects in MANN

Sausage should be cooked IN

to maintain my dignity while he
lathered me with undue elaboration.

duce his razor he faltered.

Upon the wide and shoreless tide.
with air sails gently Tapping. the
postman steers and shifts his gears,
and 10, the mail comes drapping'
Through calm or gale, like fairy
tale that scorn all earthly letters,
on wizard wings the mailman
brings my billy docs and letter,
with cheerful huns his motor
drums, he volplanes and capers,
and through the air OF dawning fair
sail down my morning papers. Oh
who would want TO take a jaunt 10
olden days departed when early
mail along the trail by slow degrees
was carried? The hustling ways of
modern days are more unto our
liking. when monthly bills and 9TH
er thrills on air lines come a-hik-
ing; when pouches drop and hit
kerfiop and we must stand from
under the while We gaze in wild
amaze. bewilderment and wonder
Oh who would sigh for days gone
by. for ways serene and uodding,
when once a year the pOstman dear
along the pike came plodding? We
live in times when progress chimes,
when nothing big can daunt US;
we mount on wings and go at
things that in our dreamings haunt
us; we're in the drift OF days 50
swift that soon the airplane legions
