 "The bureau of chemistry of the depart ment of agriculture" says Secretary Meredith, authorizes the statement that it has met with a gratifying degree of CO., operation on the part of packers of ripe olives in improving methods to such an extent that danger from botulinus pois- bring in future packs will be eliminated Five groups of deaths traced to poison produced by the organism known as bacillus botulinus have occurred in New York city Detroit, Canton, O., Memphis and Ka1spell, Mont. All of these eases were due to the consumption of ripe olives. No fatalities have been traced to green olives.
 "Very extensive investigations have ben made by scientists from the bureau of chemistry with the cooperation of the packers and the packers have also em- ployed scialists 10 study the causes Of botulinus poisoning and the precautions which should be employed to prevent fur ther difficulty. The experts agree that the trouble is not inherent in the type of contaner used. Whether the olives be packed in glass jars or in tin cans they may be rendered absolutely safe if proper precautions are taken to prevent the in
 
 if the packages when filled are sterilized at a sufficient temperature and for a sut- flcient period of time It is entirely prac- ticabIe, says the specialists. to sterilze both glass containers and tin cans at a temperature high enough to insure abso- lrte sterilization
 'JTnfortunately some packs of ripe olives put up in glass as well as some in tin during past seasons were not pre- pared with all the precautions now known to be essential and were not steriized at a sufficient high temperature, and some of these goods in glass were responsible for the fatalities It is probable that of all the ripe olives on the market, but an extremely small number actually con- tained bacillus botuinus. Of more than 2,0OO individual packages collected and exam ined in the bureau of chemistry but eight were found to contain bacillus botulnus, and seven of these were from the output Of one manufacturer, and from one batch of his output. In addition to these eight the bureau has examined samples or some of the olives responsible for the fa- talities and has also found bacillus bo- tuinus in these specimens.
 Since there IS a possibility ot danger from any ripe olive which has ben insuf- ficientl sterilized the bureau of chem strv has suggested to the industry that all ripe olives in glass or in tin wher- ever located be carefully inspected, and that any which show the slightest degree of decomposition be destroyed. It has fur ther suggested tha tall ripe olive which have not been processed at sufficiently high temperature be returned to the pack CTS for immediate reprocessing at suf- ficient temperature to insure complete sterilization.

PEAT ESTABLISHED AS FUEL
In Denmark u Is Employed to Furnish
Power for Many tines Of
Big Industries.

In 1919 peat established itself as a
fuel more firmly than ever in Den
mark 1t is used now by nearly all
the Industries, by the private rail-
roads and in the country districts,
where II is practically the only fuel.
Twelve million peat bricks were taken
from the marshes in the Odense dis
trict in 1918. and while figures are not
available for 1919. it is estimated that
the number was considerably larger.
The electrical works of the town OF
Svendberg have successfully used
peat gas instead of petroleum. AS a
locomotive fuel it proved to have some
disadvantages, requiring Il larger boil
er and giving off many sparks.
Peat producers have complained
that the governments maximum price
on this article has made its manufac-
ture difficult. There have been n num-
ber of failures. However. the quality
of peat has been greatly improved
during the last five years, and more
has been learned of its possibilities.
1t will therefore undoubtedly figure
much more than previously as an
economic factor in Deumark.-New
York Sun.

LONG IDOL OF SMALL BOY
Famous "Desdwood Dick" Lived and
Died In Full Appreciation Of His
Great Popularity.

Deadwood Dick is dead. His real
name was Richard Bullock, and he
died most conventionally at an age of
seventy-fve years In a hospital at
Glendale, Cal.
Deadwood Dick should have been
the happiest of men. Few men can
pass twilight years ulumined by the
glow of their past. Few men are
privileged to read heroic lies about
themselves which are founded on
modicum Of truth. Achilles never
read the "Aeneid." Satan never read
"Paradise Lost" unless he had pc
FUSED II since Milton's day by the fitful
flames of his plutonic abode. Sieg-
fried never scanned the "Nibelung-
lied" The greatest heroes of the,
greatest lies by the greatest liars have
met their end believing they would be
unhonored and unsung by posterity.
Not so with Deadwood Dick. His
saga was at his elbow these several
decades. All he had to do was to
which the boys of generation or two
ago pored to realize what a great man
he had not been. And all the time
he had the consciousness that he real
ly had passed wonderful days on
mountain and plain, hauling gold by
stage through perils created by nature
and by man-that there was enough
Of the heroic to justify the modern

Physique Of Country and City Boys.

Physique Of Country and City eoys-
Under the selective draft law, regis
trants were given two physical exami-
nations. one by the local draft boards
and another by the army surgeons af-
ter the men who passed the local
board examination reached camp.
Analysis Of these records of physi-
cnl examinations shows that the coun-
try boys made better records than
those from the cities: the white regis
trants better than the coloreG. and
the native born better records than
those OF alien birth. These differ
ences are so considerable that 100000
country boys would furnish for the
military service 4.790 more soldiers
than would an equal number OF city
boys. Similarly. 100000 whites would
furnish 1.240 more soldiers than would
an equal number of colored. Finally,
100000 native born would yield $500
more soldiers than would like num-
ber of foreign. The Importance OF
these figures may be appreciated by
noting that $500 men is equivalent to
an infantry regiment at full war
strength.
