THE DEBT OF FRANCE.

The external debt of France, part lv incurred because of the war az about 34 billion francs or approximately 15 per cent of the nations entire public debt of 237 billion francs, will more than likely be paid by tourists, at least French financiers are contemplating such a source of revenue.
 Included in Frances debt is eight million francs she loaned to her M- lies during the war and twenty mll- lions represent obligations that have been issued for the porpose o1 paving the cost of restoring the de. wasted regions and for which Ger many, under terms of the treaty must reimburse her.
 Interest charges on the externa debt of 34 billion francs will amount to less than two billion francs, onl. one-ninth of the total sum of taxes which, according to the budget, pro mulgated July 31, 1920, will yiel' Is, ,S55, 100000 francs. According t

an official estimate the annual re- ouirements of the foreign debt are less than the sum spent yearly in France by tourists.
 Because of her historical location; because Napoleon slept in such a hotel: because the Romans built this and that road; because some medie- val lord pushed his mother in law over the castle wall in particular moat, and because the queen of one of the Lewis kissed an urchin at 9 France has a source of revenue, individual from that of many other nations and on which she depends the same as the South does it's cotton crop.
 The late war has furnished her more spots to be made into national assets, many of them of intimate in- terest to American rich who are jour- neying across the Atlantic to help pay Frances debt.
 There is great opportunity for profiteering in the "business" of en- tertaining, but the French republic really has something to offer foreign CTS who have enough money to spend in sightseeing after they have visited all spots of interest in their own country. And as long as the tourist profession of France is national asset it is to be hoped that the gov ernment will see to it that profiteer- l ing does not attend the showing ot Americans around.
 Let it be hoped that the French do l not succomb to a greed for Ameri- can gold to that extent practiced by

pToMA1NE POISONING

It is not uncommon to read in the newspapers Q fthe death Or serious illness of some person as the result of what is called "ptomaine poison ing" By this the laity understands subtle chemical poisons generated in food sa result of decomposition. It is true that such poisons occur. By far the greatest number of the cases prove, on investigation, to have been instances of bacterial food pois- oning, cases in which the illness was due to infection with various disease germs which contaminated the food.
 The most common of the germs re- sponsible for food poisoning are re- lated to the germs of typhoid fever, or paratyphoid fever. Another com mon variety is related to the germ which causes hog cholera. This form of food poisoning is probably much more common than is ordinarily sup posed, and many cases of sudden diarrhoea and sick headache are prob ably of this nature. As rule infec- tion with these germs may easily be avoided by thoroughly cooking the food.
 There is another form of "pto- maine poisoning" which has been rather frequently observed lately, This is called botulism, and has al- ready been described in a previous article.
 Cleanliness when handling and pre- pairing food, keeping leftover dishes in the ice-box, and thoroughly cook ing all foods constitute reliable safeguard against most of the com men varieties of food poisoning.

A HARDSHIP ON CHILDREN

That the present educational sit
uation in Oklahoma is shameful is
never denied. 1t is ignored. If it is
hardship to tax a few who have
more than an average amount Of
property for the education of the many
children who live in school districts
where there is little property, I'm
strong for inflicting that hardship.
the state is inflicting lifelong hard
shir on these children who are de-
prived Of opportunity for elementary
education. The hardship which the
adoption of this amendment will work
on the pocket nerve If those who will
have to pay more than they will get
back is inconscquential in comparison.
Reports for the entire state are not
ye. available, but 72,290 children live
in 292 rchoo! districts where levy
of Il mills will not prodvcc suffi-
cicn, funds to maintain school for
nine months. The constitution of
Oklahoma prohibits those who live il
bee ,chool districts from levying
moe. Here is the real hardship. 1t
IS none The less so because we are
% accu toned to it that we ignore it.
