How To Keep
Yourself Well

Careful investigations of various
instances of food poisoning have
shown that usually some one noticed
some peculiar flavor or odor to the
food which proved to be response
BILE for the poisoning.
AS a rule, this odor was not very
marked or particularly offensive; in
some recent cases of "botulism" the
odor was said to resemble that Of
rancid butter.
Laboratory investigators decided
that the most useful mea of de-
tecting such changes in the food was
by means of the "organoleptic test"
made by the housewife herself.
This was found to be mor deli
cate and more reliable than any
simple chemical test hat could be
devised.
Moreover, housewives could read
lily make the organoleptic test. or
rather could continue to make it Is
they had done for hundreds OF
years.
Translated into simple language
the organoleptic test consists simply
In, the use of the senses, especially
those of sight, smell, taste and
touch.
So far as sight Is concerned.
suspicion should be aroused by any
abnormal appearance of the food.
Discoloration, sliminess, the pres
ence of bubbles of gas DIT any other
deviation from the usual appearance
should lead to further investigation.
Any peculiarly of odor. not nee
essarily an offensive odor, should be
noted. The same is true of taste.
In connection with touch it may
be explained that an abnormal soft
ness has often been noticed in the
case OF foods which have given rise
to food poisoning.
Sometimes touch reveals the
presence of bubbles of gas resulting
from bacterial decomposition; some
times it reveals a peculiar greasi-
ness or other departure from the
normal.
Such a test takes only a few
moments of time and OF it may de-
pend the prevention of much seri-
GUS illness.
Housewives. practice the organo-
leptic test! -

Fatty Tunlors

Fatty luniOrs
Is a fatty tumor and a tubercle
the same thing? Does a run down
condition of health cause a fatty
tumor?
So far as known. a fatty tumor is
not caused by or related to a ruiz
down condition.
Fatty tumors belong to the class
of tumors spoke of as benign" in
contrast to tumors like cancer,
which are classed as malignant. AS
a rule a fatty tumor can easily be
removed by a simple surgical oper-
alton.
Catarrh of the Stomach
Can you tell me if catarrh of the
stomach is dangerous. and what is
a good remedy for 1t?
The term ''catarrh of the stom-
ach" is very loosely used, and it is
not possible for me to advise you as
to a remedy foR the condition. That
can only be done by a physician who
has examined you, and is familiar
with all the conditions. Ordinarily
catarrh of the stomach is not con-
sidered a dangerous condition.

KNEW WHEN THEY HAD BITE
Traveller Tells of Rats Who Used
Their Tails as Fishlines to
Catch Crabs.

Captain MOncton in his Expert
ences of New Guinea Resident Mag
istrate," relates the following Incl
dent: Having landed on an utterly
barren island formed of coral rock
and destitute of all vegetation, he
found it to be the home of an enor-
nous number of rats. There was no
trace of other animal life, and it was
impossible to imagine how, except by
continual preying upon one another, 1t
was possible for these rats to subsist.
while seated at the waters edge.
turning over the problem in his mind,
he noticed some of the rats going
down to the edge of the reef-lank,
creatures they were,
with pink, naked tails. He stopped
on the point of throwing Jumps Of
coral at them, out of curiosity to see
what they meant to do. His curiosity
was soon gratified. Rat after rat
picked a flattish place and, squatting
on the edge, dangled it's tail in the
water.
presently one rat gave violent
leap of yard. landing well clear of
the water, and with crab clinging to
its tail. Turning around, the rat
grabbed the crab and devOured it, and
then returned to the stone. Other
rats were seen repeating the perform
ance."

pinner.PIate Pennies.

Some of the first coins were enor-
nous, the idea apparently being to dis
courage the greedy from attempting
to accumulate and carry around too
many of them. There were copper
coins as large as dinner plates. This
hconvenient style had to give way to
the demand for smaller and more con-
venient forms of currency, and the
GIANT pennies soon dwindled in size to
meet the popular demand.
The earliest trace of the use of gold
H money is to be found in the pic
lures Of the ancient Egyptians weigh
Ing in scales heaps of rings of the
precious metals. But there is no actual
record that these rings were known
Is coins with fixed value.
