HOW
SINGLE DROP OF POISON

SINGLE DROP OF POISON
CAN DEPOPULATE WORLD.
There Is poison so powerful
that all the people on earth could
be killed by one-millionth OF half
an ordinary thimbleful. Drs.
Jaques Bronfenbrenner and M.
J. Schlesinger of Harvard uni
versity have found that the
strength Of the botulinus toxin,
which occurs In spoiled vegeta-
Bile food, is so great that the
average man would die from a
dose of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
cubic centimeter Of 1t.
As there are 473 cubic cent?
meters In a pint, only an IN
f1nitesimal amount would be re-
quired to swamp the immigration
authorities In heaven. One
cubic centimeter would be
enough to depopulate the whole
earth with 100000 parts left
over.
Botulinus poisoning was first
known as sausage" poisoning
and was detected after fatalities
resulting from eating sausage.
meats and fish. Recently this
poisoning has been more COM
mon after the eating of decayed
vegetable foods. 1t is caused by
the germ bacillus botinus and
unlike the toxin Of diphththeria
or lockjaw, 1t Is deadly poison
Gus when introduced into the
body by way of the mouth.
Contamination Of foodstuff
producing this poison Is not COM
mon, and should such poisoning
be present II Is usually readily
detected by the putrid odor Of
the food. If the poisoned food
is boiled, 1t ceases to be harm
full, while even when the poison
Is actually consumed, nature and
an antltoxln may protect the In
dividual.

There are eighty-fve public links

Recently when thousands of

When it was cut open fourteen of

Miss Susie Sorensen, assistant
at the post-office, left Friday on
a three weeks vacation, going
first to Blair, Nebr., to visit at
the home of her sister. Mrs. N. B.
Hansen. She will also attend the
annual conference of the United
Lutheran Church at Elk Horn,
Iowa, and visit other places.

H. ID. Cole of Duluth, repre-
senting the colonization depart
ment of the United States Steel
Corporation, was in Askov Sum-
day, in the interest of starting a
Danish colony somewhere in
northern Minnesota on their
lands. Mr.. Cole stated that they
have several colonies of other ma
tionalities on various tracts of
land in st. Louis county, but they

County Commissioner Frank
w. Stepan and several of his
daughters were over from Willow
River Wednesday to take in the
Memorial day celebration and
visit the community. Mr.. Stepan
complimented Askov on its fore
sightedness in having laid out a
park when the village was COM
menced many years ago, a thing
which would involve no small ex-
penditure should a tract of land
have to be bought now in the
center of the village for park
purposes. The park is of course
far from being completed yet
but it answers the purpose well
for summer picnics and holiday
gatherings and will be improved
as time goes on. The Stepans
were also impressed with the
large number of good substantial
buildings in the village-public
buildings, business places and
residences-as well as the many
well kept farms surrounding the
village.
