FOOD POISONING.

During the hot summer months more
than any other time, there is rather
frequent occurrence of the condition
known as food poisoning, or what is
more commonly and inaccurately called,
ptomain poisoning. Because of the dis
tress, the apprehension and dire results
which sometimes follow, it may not be
out of place to write a few words con-
corning this condition.
How frequently food poisoning occurs
is not definitely known. Everybody IS
aware that certain articles of food are
now and again held responsible for
more or less severe attacks of indi-
gestion," or other physiological distur-
Dances, that have followed their con-
sumption, but in many cases the evil
dence for assuming casual connection
is of the slightest. That convenient
refuge from Geological uncertainty,
"ptomain poisoning is a diagnosis
that unquestionably has been made to
cover a great variety of diverse condi-
tons, from appendicitis and the pain
caused by gall stones to the simple
abdominal distensions, resulting from
reckless gorging However, there are
times when it is possible to specify with
a fair degree of certainty the offending
food. 1t then only remains to determine
the reason why the food article should
make one sick
The possibilities are divided into two
broad classes; first, that it is due to a

popularity of the victim or it is due to
something in the food. There are GER
tain individuals who are extremely sem
sitive to some sort of food, and their
sensitiveness is expressed in that when
they eat the offending food, they become
violently i'll, with pain and depression.
Very often they will break out with
some sort of eruption, which is referred
to as the hives. The most common foods
TO which people are sensitive are milk,
strawberries, oysters, and eggs, altho
it may be any food. The victim usually
learns his idiocyncrasy and to relig-
iously avoid the offending article. They
may be coloring substances, food pre-
servatives, arsenic and lead, poisons
from decomposition of the food, poison
Gus plants used in cooking, etc. The
most Characteristic examples of food
poisoning, popularity speaking, are those
in which the symptoms appear shortly
after eating and in which severe gas
trointestinal pains occur. These are most
often caused by bacterial decomposition
of food. This type of food poisoning
is important because of the ease with
which it can be prevented. The method
consists of keeping the food under con
ditions which prevent bacterial growth
This is accomplished by thorough cook.
ing and followed by complete refrigera-
ton when the food is not in use.
The horror which housewives possess
for keeping food in tin cans after they
are opened is not justified scientifically
or by experience. The changes that may
take place has nothing to do with the
tin can and will take place in any vessel
unless prevented, as they are due to bac
terial growth.

NEGRO OPINION OF LEAGUE.

The journal is in receipt of a print
ed communication from the national
headquarters in New York of the
Negro Rights League" bearing the
pen signature of William Washing
ton, president. 1t urges that the
peace treaty be approved as submit
ted. The Negro Rights League adds:
"Thoughtful study of the proposed
covenant leads to the belief that when
the league of nations functions prop
erly, the American negro will be con-
sidered an oppressed minority native
born, of a distinct non aSsimilative
race, subject to taxation without rep
resentation, and by virtue of numbers
justly entitled to six to eight negro
senators and to thirty to forty negro
representatives in the congress of the
United States. N..
Consideration of the claims of the
American negro may safely be left to
the unbiased wisdom of a supreme
council. representative of nations in
which the color line is not drawn as
in the United States.
president Wilson. in his speech in
San Francisco. appeared to be in ac-
cord with this view"
If the league bureau in New York
is in charge of men with political
caution the information of their ex-
pectations is probably not being sent
to the press in southern states. 1t
would but have the effect there of
adding to unpopularity of the cove
nant, Any course that holds out po-
litical hope to the negroes in the
states where masses of them are not
now able to get recognition, will meet
with opposition. They outnumber
the whites in many localities and are
usually not so well qualified for gov
eminent.

TWO BENIGHTED PEOPLES.

To those who are still trying to re-
tain some faith in the future of Mex
leo the most depressing news that has
come from that unhappy country in a
long time. aside from the shocking
stories of murders and outrages upon
American citizens. concerns the clos
ing of the public schools throughout
the federal district. All municipal,
schools outside the City of Mexico
have suspended because of lack OF
funds to pay the teachers.
For some time past there has been
no public instruction in the rural dis
tricts of Mexico, but education seemed
to be making its last stand in the
cities and towns. Now even they have
all practically surrendered. Evidently
the recent glowing financial statement
of the federal government put forth
by Carranza's minister was not sup
ported by actual cash on hand, or else
cation is one of the things that scarce
ly matter.
In the days of Diaz. the dictator
found it easy TO keep the people in
subjection; in these later days the
demagogue has little difficulty in
bending them to his purposes. In
Russia the elevation of the Bolshevist
rulers to power was made possible
through the ignorance of the mass
of the people.
A correspondent recently related
how under the Bolshevist regime a
bluff is being made at popular edu-
cation. The children go to school
twice a day. in certain localities, at
tracfed by free meals. They receive
absolutely no instruction. In other
