Olive Poisoning

News dispatches have recently told
OF several instances of poisoning
alleged to have been due to eating
olives. A. NJ G. Soule. chief of the
Division of Inspection. Department of
Agriculture, said. on being asked as
to the situation in Maine:
Complaints have been received
from South Paris of a very severe
case Of poisoning, which by the doc
tors diagnosis, was attributed to the
eating or ripe olives. This depart
ment began an investigation and also
consulted data prepared by other
authorities and find that cases of
poisoning from ripe olives have oc-
CURED in other parts of the country.
the most serious being reported from
the vicinity OF Canton. Ohio, and De-
troit. Mich. In the Canton cases, IA
persons were afflicted, II guests and
4 employees Of country club. OF
whom five OF the guests and two of
the employees died.
"Of1cials Of the Ohio Public Health
Department fixed the responsibility
Of the calamity on the bacillus botii-
nus, which was found in olives put up
by the Curtis Company Of Los An
geles. Cal. under the brand Curtis
Mammoth Olives. This bacillus was
first isolated in 1894 by Ermengem
from ham and later found by other
investigators in various vegetables
and foods. causing great damage to
stock and even humans.
This department, believing that a
complete investigation Of this Maine
case Is warranted. deputies are max
ing complete canvass to locate any
suspicious samples Of olives and il
necessary. numerous samples will be
taken and an examination made of
them. Fortunately. this department
is receiving the complete co-opera-
ton Of the United States Department

Health Dept.

Included III the program which DR..
l. D. Bristol has prepared for fu
ture development of the Maine State
Department Of Health. OF which he
is commissioner. is the ultimate crea-
ton OF two new divisions Of health
work. The necessity for a division
Of industrial hygiene and one for
combined child hygiene and public
health nursing are considered most
pressing at the present time. In ex-
planning the need and scope of the
proposed divisions, Commissioner
Bristol said Saturday:
No more striking example for the
need Of public education and reform
along the lines of industrial hygiene
can be imagined than the situation
which prevails at the great lumber
camps in the north OF Maine.
have visited and investigated condi-
lions in crowded tenement districts
and can assure you that no city
Sums can surpass in disease breed
ing conditions some Of the lumber
camps up north.
II is through these camps in many
instances that smallpox. which is
prevalent continually in Maine. es-
tablishes its stronghold. 1t may be
perhaps that the germs OF the dis
ease come over the border from Can
ada: cases Of sickness are found in
the camps; and as soon as it is noised
about that smallpox is the nature of
the illness of some of the lumber
men, the camp just naturally dis
solves over night. Some of the men
later appear in Lewiston, some in
Bangor. some in Watervilie and then
it is that we hear of smallpox break
ing out in those communities.
If such disease as typhus fever
should break out in one Of the lum-
Der camps. l shudder for the re-
suits The coolies WHICH infest the
men in practically all these camps
would carry and spread the disease,
until the effect of such an epidemic
cannot be estimated.
1T is in the numbering districts Of
Northern Maine particularly that in
dustrial hygiene would find it's great
est efficiency"

which he hopes to organize as soon
as the financial situation in the de-
partment of health will justify an

ADJUSTMENTS
BIG FEATURES
AGAIN OFFERED
AT COLONIAL

Not heavy bill. but just the kind
of play that will meet all tastes is
what has been provided at the Co
! lonial theatre for today and Tuesday.
Farce, comedy and light drama are a
part of the program and the very
best vehicles for each have been Sc
cured.
OF course there is no daiutier in
dividual on the screen than Mar
guerite Clark The hundreds of peo-
pie who go to the Colonial when she
. appears give proof Of that fact.

girl who aspires to be a great artist
is given brand new twist in Luck
in Pawn" Marguerite Clark's latest
Paramount-Artcra picture. which
will be the attraction at the Colonial
Theatre for tire days commencing
| today. Generally in fiction the as
piring heroine wins immortal fame
with a masterpiece just as she is
about to succumb to starvation.
Luck in Pawn" treats the situation
in much more true to-life and
pleasant manner. Annabel Lee, the
pretty heroine, played by Miss Clark,
is country girl whose mother has
paid for her art training by consid-
cradle sacrifice. Annabei is informed
by noted painter that her talent is
infinitesimal and is feeling pretty
blue when a bored young millionaire.
attracted by her unaffected clothes
and ingenious manner, strikes up
an acquaintance with her. The pref
ty story that follows, with its rather
startling ending, is said to furnish a
thoroughly entertaining comedy pic
ture in Miss Clark's best manner.

beautiful and most talented womon
now appearing in pictures is the star
Of the other big feature, "The Way
Of Woman" 1t is an adaptation Of
the famous stage play Nancy Lee"
by Eugene Walter.
1t is fast moving story Of Amer
ACdu uic tOQdy.
Nancy Lee, young Southern girl
is stified by the hereditary family
pride which keeps her parents pow
erty-stricken and makes them insist
that she refuse to marry Anthony
Weir. whom she really loves, be-
cause his socia! staining does not
come up to the Lee tradition. In an
attempt to ease their financial bur-
den. she becomes the wife of a disso-
lutte New Yorker. George Trevor,
and comes North to live with him.
In the speedy set in which her hus-
band travels, Nancy soon finds her
self enmeshed in many difficult sit
uations from which she makes every
effort to free herself. only to get into
greater trouble. Finally, Trevor dies
and she finds herself a widow, pen
niless, friendless and in debt.
How she manages TO set herself on
her feet again--financially. mentally
and morally-and even wins back
the love Of the man she has always
wanted. makes a grippingly drama
tic tale in which Norma Talmadge's
artistry shines brilliantly.
