Coach A. C. Krause, of Gunnison
high school has issued challenge to
any high school team in the state for
football game.
The Gunnison school has been un-
defeated for the past four years, and
each year had made claim for the
state title, but has been given no con-
sideration by the other sections.
Last year Gunnison scored 1886
points, while the best opponents
could do was single field goal. Only
one touchdown has been scored

aGup,Inite Battery Cases.

For a long time the need has been
felt of starting and lighting battery
case of more durable material than
wood. To meet this demand the Elec-
trio Storage Battery Co. (the manu-
facturers of Exide batteries) set
about to develop compound known
as gummite, the rights to manufac-
ture which were obtained by them
years ago. This compound is noted
for tbs rigidity through more uniform
temperature co-efficient and adapta-
bility to accuracy in Manufacturing to
definite dimentions. Gummite has the
proper acid resisting qualities and
also the proper mechanical strength.
Gummite cases have been used sue
cessfully for a great many years in
submarine battery service The Elec-
trio Storage Battery Co. contends that
battery cases made of gummite are
far superior in many respects to those
made of any other material so far
developed.

OF a cloudy liquor with vegetables or
olives should be regarded as suspi-
cious. Canned foods suspected of
being spoiled should never be tasted
since sufficient amount of the toxin
to prove fatal may be obtained in a
single taste.
Protection from this type of food
poisoning may be easily accomplish
ed by boiling. The toxin is quickly
destroyed at the boiling temperature.
Care should be exercised, however
to see that the temperature is the
same throughout Food which is OBJ
viously spoiled should not be con-
sumed ever after boiling but should
be discarded.
This disease has been known in
Europe for many years and is usually
found on contaminated ham, sausage,
and fish. 1t is not confined to hui
mans, but may cause serious loss of
stock by what is known as forage"
poisoning. 1t may also be noticed
among chickens, producing the dis
ease known as "limberneck.

goods of any kind are remarkably

BOTUL|NUS POISONING
!. CAUSED BY BACTERIA
DIR. GIBBS TELLS HOW TO DE-
TECT BOTULINUS AND PRE-
~ CAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED.

Numerous inquiries coming to the
department of bacteriology in regard
to botulinus poisoning warrant gem
eral statement in regard to this type
of disease.
Z Botulism, botulinus poisoning, "sau-
sage" poisoning, is caused by the
specific microorganism, Bacillus bot
ulinuS, which contaminates food and
produces an extremely potent toxin
or poison, This poison differs from
the usual bacterial poison in that it
is harmful when taken through the
mouth. In this country nearly all
cases have resulted from the use of
CANNED vegetables and fruit, espec1-
ally beans, asparagus, spinach, and
ripe Olives. The disease is more COM
mon in the West, and home-canned
vegetables have been most common
" Involved. If insufficient heat at
the time of canning is applied the
spores of Bacillus botulinus are not
killed. The sealed can excludes the
air, which makes conditions more |
favorable for the growth of the or
ganlsm than an unsealed container
The spores terminate and multiply
until large quantity of the toxin is
formed. This requires considerable
time, and poisoning usually follows
the consumption of food which has
been canned for some time. II
Foods contaminated with Bacillus
ootulinus usually show evidence of
'poilhge. The most characteristic t
,hange is the formation of a rancid Z
,utteF odorj but this may be SO slight :
ls to be overlooked. The presence i

PORTABLE RADIO ssAc BATTERY
DESIRABLE AND EFFICIENT

The "A" battery on any radio sci

current at uniform voltage rate in
order to avoid the need for continual
readjustment of the filament rheostat.
Second only to this, however, comes
light and weight and portability.
The Willard Storage Battery COM
pany of Cleveland have recognized
