FATALITIES FROM
SPOILED SPINACH
Government Brings Matter to the
Attention Of Health Au-
thorities.

The l. 6 Bureau Of Chemistry, ac-
cnrdipe 10 letter it has sent to the state
Board OF Health. has had called TO its
attention recently Several fatal cases
~ ho,ulism. which have been traced with
more or less certainty To commercially
canned spinach. Two series Of fatalities,
one occurring IN Oakland, Cal, and other
a, Grand Rapids Mich. were almost
oertainly due 10 this cause we are

Tho letter .avs. 'in order that you may
be in a position 10 take such action as
tho terms of your law will permit 70
protect the public against the possible
rnous consequences OF consumption
of such contaminated spinach.
AT the outset, il Is proper 10 state
that in every fatal case of botulism In
which the Bureau of Chemistry has
handled the food held responsible, the
spoiled condition was so evident 10 the
80, scs that the material should have been
destroyed as spoiled by the person open
ing the container. This Is apparently
,r,le of the spinach poisoning cases at
Oakland, California, and Grand Rapids,
Michigan. In other words, decent care
N the kitchen in the elimination OF spolleo
and rotten food from human CONSUMPTION
would have prevented these deaths,
IL cannot be too strongly emphasized
that rotten food. whether canned or IN
other forms, should always bY discarded

NO SPECIAL TAXATION WILL BE REQUIRED

Gradually the people are beginning to realize what good
roads mean and that no matter how expensive they are, they are
a bargain. There is not a rancher, farmer or any person in
Wyoming, but who can look back and recount losses which have
come to him through manning of horses, injury and breaks to
wagons .buggies and automobiles, costing a pretty amount, which
he has to dig down in his own pocket and pay, to say nothing of
the inconvenience and loss of time which has been made neces-
sary, because in stormy or bad weather, it has been impossible
for him to get to the city with his produce or to come to the city
for supplies which might be necessary.
In addition to this he has been called upon to pay taxes for
would have to be done over again each Year. There is not a per
son in Wyoming who has not sustained losses because of travelling
over bad roads, which if considered in the nature of a tax would
have been interest on a big amount.
The plan now is to do away with these inconvenience and
losses through the building of permanent roads, but this cannot
be done without borrowing money. 1t has been pointed out and
the facts are apparent. that automobile licenses will take care of
these bonds, allowing those of the present day, who are struggling
with the development of a frontier. to get the full benefits Of good
roads, with no additional taxation.
Much has been said of extravaganza and waste of money.
Undoubtedly there have been wastes, but if you stop to think
what it means to organize a Highway Department, and super
district calling for rush and haste in getting the various projects
under way, you may be able to realize how utterly impossible it
might have been to avoid some waste, especially where 81 many
men were entrusted with big projects and endeavOring to meet
the demands of the people.
Work of this nature cannot be rushed with any degree of
safety without wastes occurring, but with the money available,
it was a justifable ambition on the part of the users of the roads
to see their permanencv established with as little loss of time as
possible manner to meet the demands being made by the people
at a time when labor and all costs of construction were very high.
with impossiblity of securing the most competent help at times
and with a shortage of materials.
On May 10th the people of Wyoming will be called upon to
vote for a state bond issue, and in many counties they will also
be called upon to vote for a county bond issue to take care of the
side roads connecting up with the main highways, and it is to
be hoped those who may have any doubt as to the wisdom of the
plan, will make every investigation possible, and view the subject
from every angle before they decide to cast a vote against this
