Food Poisoning Gases
Careful Investigation Shows Comparatively Few Persons
are Poisoned by Eating Canned Products.

putting Paris green into canned sar-
dimes The sardines themselves were
blamed for the death until the canning
experts found the administered poison.
A woman committed suicide, and the
physician to save her family from dis.
grace, declared that she died after
eating canned tomatoes.
A more sensational episode occurred
in the South. Here a small child died
supposedly of food poisoning from
canned food. The account of the death
was published and accepted as the
truth, and the case was apparently
closed. The scientists of the Gamers
association kept on, however, and
found evidences that a dose of strych
nine had been administered to the
child. The mother was finally con-
fronted with the evidence. She ad-
mitted the truth and then before any
body could stop her, she leaped from
the window and was killed.
No Ptomaines in
Canned Foods.
Another false idea that has gained
wide credence is that ptomaine poison
is likely to occur in canned foods.
Five years ago, research into food poi
sons began at four great American
observation-disclosures, Stanford, Uni.
versity of California, and University OF
Chicago. After five years of research
they have yet to find a can of food con
tanning ptomaines. The reason is that
no such thing as ptomaines exist.
That theory has been thoroughly ex-
ploded by Investigations. There are
other food poisons, but they are not
ptomaines.
The detection of false poisoning re
ports, however, is but a small part
of the work of the men in the Gamers
laboratory in Washington. Their chief
duties consist of investigations look
ing to the improvement of containers
and OF the processes of food preser-
walton. DR.. w. d. Bigelow, formerly
of the United States Bureau of Chemis
try, is the head of the laboratory.
These men who work constantly
with canned foods and who understand
better than anyone else the gravity OF
a genuine case of food poisoning, are
themselves consumers of canned food.
They know the conditions in the can
neries today and they have confidence
IN the product. Moreover, when they
sit at table they take with them an ap-
paratus which enables them to tell
whether food is wholesome. Every
one who reads this possesses the same
equipment-One's own senses.
To quote the tobacco advertise
ment-Tour nose knows. The advice
OF the canning experts to the general
consumer is this: Never swallow a
bite OF any canned food that looks,
smells, or tastes unlike a standard
product, even though the taste OF
smell be not unpleasant. Throw the
whole thing away and take nc chances.
If all consumers did that, the small
number of genuine food-poisoning
cases would be reduced to almos
nothing.

Curing tuberculosis at Home

Medical opinion is strongly in favor of caring
for tubercular patients in hospitals near their
homes. Removal to a western state, once con-
sidered the only effective method, is no longer
stressed; in fact, it is discouraged.
The superintendent of the Allen county tuber-
culosis hospital, upon his return recently from a
long visit in an eastern sanitarium of high rank,
emphatically declared for Indiana climate to
fight the disease.
Now comes A. E.. Mckee, chairman of the
educational committee of the Ohio Public Health
association, in an article written recently in the
interests of the campaign to prevent the sending
of lily provided tubercular patients to western
states, in which he speaks for local hospitals to
handle cases of this kind.
For a dozen years / saw much of life among
the tuberculars in the mountains, and learned
much of conditions that surround them," Mr..
Mckee said. "In most cases it is asking an i'm

TODAY'S TALK
BY George Matthew Adams, Author Of "You Cam" "Take IT," sup"
ATT TEEp cd A OE TOHM RDOWM

About two miles south of Lake Placid, New York, you come upon
a stretch of beautiful rolling country, fenced in by a necklace of gray
blue mountains It is in the heart of the Adrondacks, and a part of it
is known O a. "the John Brown Farm"
In the center of a rather fiat space stands a n unpretent1ousf frame
building which was for ten years the home of John Brown. 1t was to
this place that they brought hissbody after he had been hanged by
the United States government for his attack upon M seizure II the
arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia.
They called this man a fanatic and murderer, but John Browns
own words are offered in his defense: Il pity the poor in bondage
that have none to help them. That is why 1 am here. The cry of dis
tress of the oppressed is my reason, and the only reason that prompted
me to come here"
John Brown was shot down by the troops, called out by the state,
and SO were his sons who fought by his side. A writer in the Atlantic
Monthly stated that John Brown, wounded, haggard, bleeding, and
defeated, and expecting death with more or less agony a s it was more
or less near, was the finest specimen of a N that 1 ever saw" And
Governor Wise, of Virginia, said on seeing him: Il can lken his ati
tude to nothing but a boken-winged hawk, lying upon his back with
fearless eye, and talons set for further fight if need be-"
Just before John Brown stepped upon the galows, he handed this
prophetic saying to one of the guards: 81 John Brown, a m now quite
certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be washed away
except with blood. l had, IS 1 now think, vainly fattered myself that
without much bloodshed it might be done"
And here LIE some words written by John Brown himself in Jail
before his execution:
Not II vain is he lesson taught
A great souls dream
Is a worlds new thought,
For a death sublime
Is a Throne ordained
For coming time"
l thought of these last lines as l looked upon the grave of this hero
marked by a great rock with his name cut simply across its tor.
The flag of the government which hanged him floats calmly from a
staff at the side of the grave, lowering like a guardian above the nat
ual grave stone and trees at its base.
l wiped few tears from my eyesthat wouldn't stay back, and
went away-thinkng.

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than anything else you can use.
Two or three t~easpoonsful of MuIsi-
fled will cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, ~dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
months. Be sure your druggist gives
you NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Q. What kind of an exhibit will the
United States have at the Brazilian
exposition E. l. B.
A. The sum of $1,000, 900 was appro-
priated by congress for a suitable
building and exhibits at the Brazilian
centennial exposition at Rio Janiero
which will represent the progress and
activities of the United States in so far
as the government itself is concerned.
Private enterprises will also be rep
resented at the exposition, but they
will not be housed il the Government
building. Firms doing business in
South America formed a company and
raised funds to insure that the bust
ness interests of this country would
have adequate representation at Rio.
A building known as the American
Industrial Exhibition Building has been
erected and practically all the space
in it has been taken. It is expected
also, that the government will send a
fleet to Rio during the exposition that
will compare more than favorably with
the naval exhibition made by n other
country.
@. When were Italics first used?
G. H. NJ.
A. Manutius, a Venetian printer,
first used them about 1900 A. D.
Q. Is there a government reward

Ger and other diseases? H. E. S.
A. Such a bill has been introduced
in the House of Representatives. 1t

er Investigations of claims by the
public health service.
Q. Did the gas mask provided the
soldiers during the war, protect them
against Illuminating gas? R. c..
A. The army mask which afforded
protection against the cases used in
warfare, would not be effectual against
common Illuminating gases.
@. Are foreign nations to be invited
to the Philadelphia exposition in 1926?
w. l. NJ.
A. The joint resolution of Congress
recently signed by President Harding,
which endorsed the exposition, also

Mental ease and perfect freedom from worry is
