Detectives Are Not Supermen of Fiction

Marian Storm of the New York Sun.
1--WE spent months on a case, chased
every clue cnd half-clue, and then
never solved it. That would make
fat plot for a novel, wouldn't 1t?
To tell the truth, I'd be shy of employ
ing a super-detective. I think he
might be too conspicuous.
II used to read the new detective
novels quite hopefully, thinking /
might come across some sub-super-
sleuth. who had to give up a case,
but now 1 know that l never shall.
You hardly expect Nick Carter's crea-
tor or Sherlock Holmes or Sax Rob-
mer to give you real life but I thought
that some of these newer realistic
writer's might take 1t into their heads
to turn out realistic detective. I
was unreasonable. Life is too bulky
to be printed. The super-sleuth is
necessary as paper-saving device"

YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE THIS
But, if True. This Young Lady is Very
Evidently Not in the Class of
- Modern "FIappers."

A country correspondent of an Indi-
ana weekly newspaper, who disclaimed
being either a pessimist or refOrmer,
recently wrote as follows: "The other
day man and his daughter from near
Danville, KY, passed through our town
on their way to nearby village. They
expected to be met at the train by a
relative, but he was late, so they had
to wait for him for four or five hours.
The daughter was a young woman of
seventeen, but still wore her hair in
curls. We were especially impressed
by the natural girlishness and sweet
modesty of the young woman. She
was refined, too, both in manners and
dress. Her father apologiZed for her
bashfulness. There's nothing else to
say about this little incident EXCEPT
that it is a rare and beautiful thing to
hear a father apologize for the mod

My object in sending for the free
samples Cf you will forgive mel was
to determine whether or not Edgeworth
was being made any different-tha
possibly the samples (like whiskey
samples used to be) were the best and
finest of the whole output.
But on smoking the samples find no
difference whatever, and 80 am con-

that Edgeworth dIt0ays Is of the same
superior quality in all its forms, and
further, that my little joke in asking
for and receiving something for moth

BOTULINUS POISONING
Timely Advice on Canning Vegetables
to Avoid Deadly Poison.

Miss Amy Kelly, home demonstra-
ton agent leader Of the University
Extension Division, in warning the
people against botulinus poisoning,
quotes the following from Farmers
Bulletin No. 1911:
"a Make it the absolutely inyari-
able rule never to can any vegetable
or fruit not in first-class condition;
that is, do not can food which is
slightly moldy or specked, oversoft or
"just ready to spoil" or partly rotted.,
Cutting out the soft spots and using
the rest for canning may prove very
poor economy in the end.
(2) Give all canned food careful
and rigid inspection at the time the
can or jar is opened, and discard any
material having an unusual appear
ance or odor, without even tasting it.
1t is useful precaution to notice the
odor Of the vegetable while it is boil
ing; for an odor so slight as to be un-
noticed while the vegetable mass is
cold may be quite plainly perceived
when intensified by heating.
90 Boil the food as it comes from
the can before tasting it. In this type
Of poisoning, fortunately, most bacter-
iologists believe that it is not neces-
sary to destroy every bacterial spore,
but rather the toxin or poison formed
by the growth Of the bacteria, which
is u much easier matter. 1t must be
clearly understood. however, that this
does not warrant us in boiling spoiled
food and then consuming it.
90 The final disposal of canned
goods which have spoiled, or are sus-
pected Of spelling, is matter Of real
Importance. Chickens and other ami
mails may be and often have been fat
ally poisoned by eating such spoiled
materials Even worse than this dan
ger is the possibility of spreading the
bacillus botulinus Cor possibly other
spores) through the soil.
With such considerations in mind it
would seem that spoiled canned goods
should be treated as we would treat
any sort of infectious material, such
as the discharges from typhoid or
patient or the carcass of
an animal which has died Of anthrox;
that is to say, they should be burned,
or, II that Is impracticable, they
should be boiled for an hour with
some efficient disinfectant in order to
be sure that all dangerous spores are
destroyed. Burying them deeply in
the soil with = generous covering Of
s:..:sLi;sse will prevent the poisoning
Of domestic animals and may have
some influence in preventing infection
Of the soil with = highly dangerous
organism"
