C0LD-PACK METHOD NOT TO
BLAME FOR DETROIT DEATHS

BLAME FOR DElhOll LEA no
Decayed products, not the cold-pack
method of canning, are responsible
for the recent deaths Of five people
in Detroit who ate ripe olives, say
scientists in the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. They also
saw that if people would throw away
or refuse to eat food that smells
spoiled they would be insured against
poisoning by the Bacillus botulinus,
the bug that has come into the lime
light recently through its nefarious
behavior. This organism when pres
ent in canned food is the cause OF ac-
tice decay.
1t is poor economy to eat food which
has begun to spoil or rot. The person
who does runs the risk of death. In
every case observed of botluinus pois-
oning, the people who served the food
knew that it had an unpleasant stencil
"a smell of decay or putrefaction,
and it should never have been put on
the table.
Ripe olives, which the Detroit health
commissioners claims caused the death
of the five in Detroit, are not canned
by the cold-pack method. The pro-
cess usually employed to preserve
olives is to dip them several times IN
lye, rinse them in fresh water and
then put them in weak brine. No
heat is used and the brine is not
strong enough to prevent toxin forma-
ton.
Successful canning; so far as the
danger from poisoning by the Bacillus
botulinus is involved, depends not so
much on the method selected as on the
rejection of infected material at the
state. Dirty, wilted, and partly rotted
food carried multitudes more OF or
ganisms into the canning process than
fresh, sound, clean fruit, and vege-
tables. Dirty tables, dirty jars and
lids, sewage-polluted water and flies
are sources of contamination which
should be eliminated. ]
The material may be processed ac-
cording to the best experience avail
able, but it must be frankly recogniz-
ed that an occasional jar or series OF
Jars may yet spoil because some fac
tor has escaped in spite of all precau-
tions. Such food as has spoiled should |
be destroyed. Do not salvage it. II
you do, you do it at risk. 1t is not
fit for human food and should not be
fixed UP into salads, mince-meat, cat
sup or pie stock.
Typical spoiled cans are readily
identified Doubtful cases, however,
occur occasionally. A consumer un-
familiar with particular product is
frequently puzzled by its odor, as 1T
comes from the can in an apparently
sound condition. Cooking appears to
be the practical method of eliminating
the danger. Heat destroys the toxin9
and if the jar, top, and contents are
heated until the contents to the very
center of the jar are at boiling point
there will be no trouble.
Suspected foodstuff should not even
be tasted, for death has occurred after
tasting two teaspoons of spoiled pro-
duct which contained the Bacillus bo-
tulinus. Feeding suspected food to
domestic animals without safeguards
is undesirable, for some of them are
very susceptible to the toxin.
No person should take the response
bility of serving other people any food
product which has commenced to de-
compose. Let your nose be your guide
and discard food with a putrid odor,
warn the expert food chemists of the
of Agriculture.

Oyster Bay, Jan. Cool. Theo-
dore Roosevelt died in sleep early
today at his home on Sycamore Hill
in this city. His death, it is believ-
ed, was due to rheumatism and sci
atica from which he suffered Sc
we're attack for the past few years,
though it was believed that he was
feeling better. Col. Roosevelt sat
up the greater part of Sunday and
retired at eleven o'clock last night.
At four a. m. Mrs. Roosevelt, the
only member of the family at Oyster
Bay, went into his bed room and
found him dead.
Colonel Roosevelt came to his
home from Roosevelt hospital on
Christmas day, and later developed
a severe case of sciatica and rheu-
matism from which he has suffered
for some time. 1t first attacked his
right hand which had been much
swollen. He remained in his room
in an effort to check the trouble.
On Saturday morning Miss jose

to see him, but he was not able to
see her. She said that no one be-
lieved the end was so near.

TH0S. D. WARREN
WILL SUCCEED
J. o. Carr as District Attorney
for Eastern North Caro-
lima. Warren Will Be
IN LINE OF PROMOTION

Raleigh, Jan. 6.-United States
Attorney j. o. Carr, who succeeded
Judge Francis D. Winston when the
latter resigned as prosecuting officer
in the Federal Court, will today
tender his resignation to Attorney
General Thomas W. Gregory and re-
turn to private practice in Whining
ton. Thomas D. Warren, of New
Bern will be recommended by Sena-
tor Simmons to succeed him.
In this way, one more possible
choice for the Eastern Marshalship
is eliminated and the Senate Chair
man moves into i. post that will ad-
mirably suit his taste, according to
Raleigh admirers. It has been ru-
mored for some time that Mr.. War,
rem had an eye on junior Federal
judgship in the Eastern District, in
the event Congress passed the bill
that would retire Federal judges at
seventy, and the District Attorneys
office furnishes the logical stepping
stone.
Rumors that Mr.. Carr had resign
ed because of differences of opinion
with the Internal Revenue Depart
ment were given fiat denial here.
1t is known, however, that he re-
Gently made the statement that he
did not intend to continue to ap-
prove compromises Of liquor charg-
es against defendants upon payment
Of the liquor dealers licenses.
During the period of nearly four
years that Mr.. Carr has been Dis
trct Attorney in the Eastern district,
his administration of office has been
most jealous one. Few, If any
Federal appointees in the State,
have won such high praise from Of
ficials, lawyers and the laity. The
bulk Of the work of the District At
torney's office has fallen in his
shoulders and he has admirably at
tended to his Job.

REDEEM YOUR PLEDGES

Durham, Jan. 6.-Collection of
pledges made by the people of North
Carolina during the United War
Work Campaign is progressing ia
vorably in practically all of the 100
counties of the state. Tn North Car
olina the percentage Of cash SUBJ
scriptions ran high; in but very few
cases did the pledges exceed in
amount the cash subscriptions.
counties report entire cash cam
paigns, being Ashe, Avery, Carteret,
Currituck, Dare, Durham, Halifax,
Lincoln and Watauga.
However the fact remains that OF
the $1,422,000 raised in the state Of
North Carolina for the War Work
organizations a goodly percentage
was in the form of pledges. The
second payment CT these pledges
was in the form Of pledges. The
second payment CT these pledges
falls due January 18th. The last
payment is March 1st. wherever
possible the people are being urged
to meet the entire pledge this month
and thus wind up the work OF col
lecting in their respective counties.
The need for funds to carry on
the work Of the welfare .organiza-
tions is as imperative now as at the
time the drive was made in Novem-
ber. Not only is the program being
continued as in the days OF the war,
but the educational, physical and
social programs are being enlarged
and expanded to meet the many new,
needs Of the men. The work OF the
welfare organizations Is of para.
mount Importance at this time. Time
hangs heavy on the hands and minds
of the men. They are restless, at
urally so, and the welfare organiza-;
tions are doing their utmost to meet
the situation. All Of this enlarged
scope Of work means dollars and
cents. The people of the nation are
expected to pay every cent of the
amount subscribed to the boys and
the people of North Carolina can be
! expected to do their part.

Won HERTL|NG
Former German Prime Minis
ter Died in Bavaria Fol-
lowing an Illness
OF ONLY SIX DAYS

Copenhagen, jan. Count Geo.
F. Won Hertling, the former Imperi-
al German Chancellor died Saturday
night at Ruhpold1ng, Bavaria. He
had been ill for six days.
Count George F. Won Hertling
was considered the most learned
man of all the men called to the
chancellorship of Germany since
1871. He had won for himself a
scholars reputation before he en-
tered political life and up to 1912
when he became Ravaria's minister
president, he had combined educa-
tional and literary work with his
political activities. Won Hertling
was appointed Imperial German
Chancellor in October, 1917, sue"
ceeding DR.. Geo. Michaelis. He
resigned in the fall of last year and
the then emperor William conferr-
ed upon him the Order of the Black
Eagle and his warm thanks for tho
"self-sacrificing faithfulness" with
which Won Hertling had served the
country.
Won Hertling was born in August
1S43, in Darmstadt, of a we'll
known family.
Count Won Hertling was member
of the Reichstag continuously from
1875 to 1912, with the exception OF
the period of 1890 to 1895. He be-
came the clerical party leader in
1909 after the death of Count HON.
pesch. Won Hertling was often the
semi-official intermediary between
his party and the government.
In the latter months of his occu-
pancy of the chancellorship Won
Hertling was assailed by the Social
lists in the Reichstag and the Ger
man newspapers, the Socialists
charging that he had entered the
chancellorship with the understand
ing that he would speak for the
whole of the German people but
that he had gone over to the junk
ers and represented ideas that were
obsolete. The press generally at
tackled the Chancellor as result OF
the increasing frictions between the
Berlinand Vienna governments. The
workers unions also turned against
the Chancellor accusing the govern.
ment of being responsible for lack
of food.
In his last speeches before the
Reichstag, Won Hertlingdwelt on the
possibility of peace. These address,
es were characterized by the news
papers Of allied countries as "peace
'feelers" and even were attacked by
German writers and politicians. as
insincere or untruthful.
