KILLS OLIVE POISON
Experts Find Serum to Combat
BotuIinus Bacillus.
versity of Illinois Meet With
Success.

Champaign, 1ll.-The bacillus bOtuli-
nus in the olives which caused the
death of five persons in Detroit several
months ago has been isolated by DR..
Robert Graham of the department Of
animal pathology at the University Of
Illinois.
"a different type of bacillus botuli-
nus was associated with the olives in
Detroit which caused the food poison
ing there Similar experience has
been reported by psychologists at
Stanford university in California as
we'll as by Belgian scientists" said DR..
Graham. 1T constitutes, however, the
first time this particular variety Of
bacillus botulinus has been announced
in the Mississippi valley.
"a serum protective against the
type of poisoning in the olives as we'll
as other types is being prepared at the
university of animal pathology. The
university's interest is primarily from
an animal standpoint, yet the fact that
in recent years the disease has been
more common in man incidentally as
sociates the experiments conducted
with the disease in humans"
This one type of bacillus has been
found particularly fatal to chickens.
the department of animal pathology
has found in conducting experiments
with poultry.

HER RUSE SAVES FATHER
italian Girl Takes Blame for Muroer
in Pennsylvania as Par
ent Fiees.

Bradford, Pa.-Margaret Dicello, IL,
can marry any one of a score or more
of men. She has turned down pro-
posals galore.
The little Italian girl won the hearts
of the youths of her own people by
the cute way in which she protected
her father from the clutches of the
law.
Margaret's father was accused OF
killing man, but was at once freed
when his daughter confessed that she
fired the bullet. When her dad was
safe in Italy Margaret admitted that
her confession was a lie and was
given only to allow her father time to
get away. There was nothing for the
authorities to do but free the girl and
forget the father.
"Pm too young to marry" she tells
all bidders for her hand.

TOLD TO THE PRINTERS
.


Silas H., Schellenger, Atascadero, Cal.
Just short note this time to ac-
knowledge the highly appreciated visits
of The Democrat during the last few
weeks. You have stirred up pleasant
memories of the "Auld Lang Syne''
which has started my blood to racing a
little more freely through my veins, and
has added little, think, to the length
of my life.
This is a wonderful country and eli
mate, and this A'ascadero Colony is the
most progressive of any that know OF.
The people are surely above the average
in every way The colony is only about
five years old, but within a year will
probably reach a population of 5 or 6
thousand.

When a grasshopper jumps he has
no idea where he will light, but mere
ly launches himself into the air and
trusts to chance. Through the efforts
of the agricultural agents, however,
it is coming about that after a few

most certain to land some place where
he isn't wanted.

Hurting Through the Fog.

A pilot in an airplane, flying on
through a thick mist. is as unhappy
as a pedestrian in a dense fog-only
more so. Not only is there the ques-
ton of finding his way, but he is
faced also by the embarrassing fact
that, ! through not being able to turn
his eye upon any horizon line, he can
not judge the altitude or inclination
Of his machine in relation to the
ground below, with the result that he
may get into a side slip or spin and
find suddenly that his machine has
passed out of his control-a condition
of affairs which may spell extreme
peril.
Then we expect very soon to have
improved considerably the instru-
ments in machine which tell its
pilot it's altitude and inclination when
he is deprived by fog or cloud of a
horizon line. Then. as yet another
point, we are working on the question
of lighting aerodOmes and landing
grounds so that a pilot can make
safe contact with the ground even
when the air is heavily obscured.
This is. of course, point Of capital
imnortance. It is not enough to
guide a man accurately while he Is
flying In misty weather. You must
he able to insure him also safe
aliehting.
