CANNED FOOD OFTEN CON-

Much has been written about hot

as follows. The bacillus botulinus and
its toxic products may be found in
canned vegetables, meats, or in spoiled
stock foods. 1t is suspected Of caus-
ing what is known as forage poisoning
in animals. There are two strains OF
the organism, "the olive strain" and
'the cheese strain" An effective
serum has been produced but the
serum of one strain will not be effec-
tive against poisoning by the other.
Poisoning was first reported from eat.
ing sausage. Then for while it was
most frequently reported in canned
beans, peas and asparagus. This yea,
is has been olives. 1t is found occas
ionally in goods that are home canned
and in goods that have been packed
by commercial establishments. There
seems to be no way of preventing il
from happening occasionally although

those traditions, consecrated by the
advice of Washington, is to abstain
from foreign and particularly from
European entanglements. Even for
nations which have been used to Eur
opean alliances, the league Of nations
is felt to be something OF new de-
parture. This is still more true for
the United States which has hitherto
held aloof from all outside alliances.
The league of nations is not merely a
plunge into the unknown, but
plunge into something which it's his

hitherto positively disapproved. Hence
this desire for some qualification and

"Not yet. But the French govern

Lord Grey says that the reservations

further argument by the Democratic
senators that the allies won't accept
the treaty if we adopt these reserva-

to know more about how the European

the governments themselves. 1t leaves
President Wilson without what he

plans to have treaty with world

! ''Who is he?n asked Ruth.
"His full title is Lord Grey Of Fal-
lodon, and he is the British Ambass:,-
dor to the United States. He was in
Washington for several months and
just little while ago went back. to
England. In all the time he was in
Washington he was not received by
the president as all ambassadors must
be, because the president was i'll. But
Lord Grey did not waste his time in
Washington. He didn't say much but
he listened to the big men and
came to understand just the way
the United States feels about this
treaty and world club plan. Before
tell you how he spoiled Mr.. Wilson 5
plans i must tell you what the presi-
dent and the senators who have been
for this club have said all along.
They have claimed that the allies
would refuse to accept the treaty If
the United States adopted the Ledge
reservations which the majority of the
| senate agreed to a:Hpt and which
would protect America and all ,hiaga
American. During al the time that
tley hav. talked this way there was
no word from the VARIOUS governIen is
of Europe which would tell US what
they really thought. The Republican
senator's who have refused to agree to
the treaty and world club plan unless
it did protect America were sure that
the allies would not refuse to accept
the treaty if our country adopted the
Lodge reservations but they had no
word from those countries which wonld
prove their viewpoint.
GAS I have told you before, two
things stand out in the treaty as
brought back by President Wilson
which could not be accepted by the
majority of the senators. One is that
part which gives England six votes
in the assembly of the world club
while we have one, and the other is
the part known as Article K which
would bind the United States to send
soldiers or money or both to help any

Cost of Printing the Congressional
 Record is Great

Washington, July 24.-The cost of publishing the Congressional Record, the government publication recording daily everything that is said and done by congress, as we'll as some things outside. was $537 $40 last year, prac- cally the same as for 1918, but abou,
 $300000 less than the 1917 cost.
 These figures were given recently by Russell o. Beene, accountant at the government printing office, in an swer to an inquiry of Representative Magee, of New York, as to the pos sible saving that would result from the discontinuance of the record. MT Beene gave the cost for 1917 as SS01,- 790.S8 and for 1918 as $537, $40.
 Cornelius Ford, the public printer, was asked for an explanation of the high figure in 1917, but confessed his ignorance unless it happened that con gress "did more talking" that year Mir. Ford said that in 1917 congress was in session 25O days; in 1918, BOT days, and in 1919, 279 days.
 The printed pages in the Record for these years were 652,511 ,964 in 1917, 563 3,672,5s7 in 1918; and 455,-

k. D. Benson of Memphis, Known Throughout the South as One of the Most Noted Health Lecturers, Invited to Pine Bluff.

Will R. D. Benson, famous health lecturer, visit Pine Bluff and give the people of this section the bene- fit of his years of research?
 This question has been on the ton- gues of hundreds since it was learn ed that MT. Benson had been asked by several of our influential citizens to visit Pine Bluff and vicinity.
 R. D. Benson is hardly million aire. He is not physician. Neither is he philanthropist, but merely a good, honest, solid citizen of Mem phis, who has devoted 20 years of his life to delivering his famous com nonsense health lectures throughout the Southern states.
 His mission is worthy one. He meets all classes and ranks, trades and professions alike. The poor man, who has not the money to pay. for health advice, is welcomed by MT. Benson. The rich man, who has spent money in vain seeking health, is just as welcome. Mr. Benson charges no fee, accepts no money for health talks, but gives his whole time to his great work nevertheless.
 BensOn's Famous Prescription.
 After extended research, after many failures and much trying study and investigation, covering period of IS years, Mr. Benson at last per fected formula which is guaranteed to give satisfaction in all cases where a faulty digestive system is involved.
 This formula, carefully com- pounded by an expert graduate chem ist, was perfected two years ago, as

was announced in the Memphis pa pers. and offered to the public at a price within the reach of all. MT. Benson calls his great medicine Gen. Lax.
 Then Gen-Lax formula has been tried and approved all over the South and thousands have benefited by the IS years of hard, constant study rep resented by this wonderful medi- cine.
 Statistics Show Neew.
 An acauaintance of MT. Benson's visiting Pine Bluff recently, was asked if he thought MT. Benson would accept an invitation to the city to lecvture. He replied:
 "I have known Mir. Benson inti- mately for years, and have never known him to refuse an invitation to any section where the masses of people were subject to the particular symptoms which his study has led him to specialize in.
 "Mr. Benson claims that 90 per cent of the ills that are most preva- lent can be traced either directly or indirectly to the stomach. Were he a physician l should call him a stom- ! ach specialist.
 "Knowing as I do that throughout this state there are hundreds, yes. thousands, who are suffering from weakened, rundown constitutions as result of malaria, influenza, chills and fever, and that there are thou sands suffering from indigestion, dys- lpepsia, biliousness, sick headaches, loss of appetite and hundreds of dis eases that arise in faulty digestive and eliminative system, I should say that I am assured that Mir. Benson will accept the invitation gladly A formal invitation has been eX- tended to MT. Benson, but as yet he has not replied. His answer is ex- pected in a few days.

When asked to explain the demand for Gen-Lax, Benson's famous pre- 'scription, during one of his recent lee lures, Mr. Benson said:
 People buy Gen-Lax because they believe that it is honestly made and because they want relief from their troubles. They tell others about the good it has done them, and others buy it and tell their friends, and so it goes. 1 would rather have one satis- fled customer in town than all the advertising l could buy.
 Merit tells every time. When peo- pie find out how Gen-Lax benefits them, they are more than glad to help others by telling them-and that's the secret of my success. Gen.-Lax does the work. I.prove it consistently fin every citytIsvisit."9

Startling though it may seem, over five hundred thousand bottles of Gen-LaX, the famous prescription dis covered by R. D. Benson. noted health lecturer, have been sold and distrib- uted in the states of Mississippi and Alabama in the past two years. In the city of Memphis, Tenn, alone, since it's discovery two years ago, ov- CT hundred thousand bottles have been sold, and the biggest drug deal CTS in the South are enthusiastic over the tremendous demand that has been created for Benson's prescription. Druggists and dealers who bought Gen-Lax when it was first placed on the market are still buying it in large quantities.
 In connection with the invitation to MT. Benson to come to Pine Bluff and lecture, the following letters concerning him and his remarkable medicine are published to show how the big, influential drug concerns of the South feel toward him and his work:
