SCARLET FEVER

CCARLET fever Is called "chil-

Calling scarlet fever a ''chlldren's

Scarlet fever is a highly contagious

children who have 1t or have had IT.;
by drinking milk from dairy where
some one who handles the milk has it,

on his hands and so infect the milk.

HOW TO KEEP
WELL
DR.. Frederick R. Green,
u, I Editor Of Health"
WHAT BoTULIsM7

THE newspapers report another
= case Of botulism in which num-
Der of people were poisoned, several
fatally. The cause in this case was
Jar of ripe olives,
On account Of the strange name
which has been given to this kind Of
poisoning, many people regard 1t as
something new. This is by no means
the case. For centuries past. the peas
ants in some parts of Germany suf-
fered from what is called sausage
poisoning" Sausages made of the
blood, liver and brain of animals,
mixed with beans, peas, and season
ing were stuffed into pieces of the in
testines of the animals and then
smoked so as to preserve them during
the winter Often when the sausages
were eaten severe poisoning followed,
entirely different from that following
the eating of ordinary spoiled" food.
In 1895. a Belgian physician found
that this poisoning was caused by the
growth of vegetable germ, which is
not found in the human body but
which grows on fruits and vegetables.
When these vegetables are canned or
used in making sausages, these germs
grow and produce a poison which is
extremely dangerous. This germ.
which is called the Bacillus Botulinus
or sausage germ, is found almost
everywhere. A..S
Unlike most poisons botulism poison
does not affect its victims at once, the
effects usually becoming apparent ten,
twenty-four. thirtyasix or even forty
eight hours after eating the infected
food. Neither does the poison always
nauseate the victims, allowing them to
throw it off. The patient becomes
paralyzed, sometimes blind. grows
rapidly weaker and generally dies in
"a few days. The poison is usually
fatal. In 1870 Ahses reported, 454 per-
sons were poisoned of whom 3O7 died.
In one case. II died out of 10 persons
who were poisoned.
In all cases. botulism followed the
eating Of canned or bottled goods. In
some cases the food was home canned,
using what is called the cold-pack
method.
Naturally. the American Gamers
association. the California fruit grow
ers and olive producers were MT only
deeply interested but greatly dis
turbed. In the last few years they
have spent great deal Of money try
ing to find out how TO prevent botu-
lisin.
The United States bureau Of chem
istry has issued this warming: Don't
buy any canned goods where the ends
of the can bulge out. snap back when
pressed In or feel loose, where the
can leaks or has loose sefms. Such
cans have leaked air. and the con-
tents are dangerous. Don't use any
food. either from cans or bottles,
which are moldy. cloudy or discolored
or which have bad odor. Don't use
any food from cans that are black or
corroded inside. If it is spoiled, throw
1t out where no animal can get It.. II
in doubt. add half as much boiling
water AMI boil half an hour. Moist
heat will kill the germ

Broke By Producing Venture
Charles Ray Starts All over
Lost 100000 On First Venture
Six of Sixteen Pictures
Profitable
BY A. H. FREDERICK
NEA Service Writer

HOLLYWOOD AUGUST s.
Charles Ray, foremost portrayer o.
the gawky juvenile, now is playing
his biggest part.
Now, however, no audiences to
view it, nor orchestration to herald
c1imaxes. 1t is real lite drama,
with Ray in the stellar role.
True to the undertone of those
stories which have made him IA
nous, paralleling in motivation ard
action those plots in which the pub
lie loves him, his life story now has
arrived at that pitch where fans are
wont to cevertly murmur, ooh, /
hope it comes out all right"
For Ray has chased Idealisn,,
found it unbearably costly, and now
has returned to just where he start
ed, unknown, years ago.
Erstwhile producer and director,
he is again under the banner and
on the payroll of Thomas H. Ince,
the man who raised him from bits
into parts and thence into stardonl.
Life has lent dramatic touch by
decreeing that the first of his new
pictures shall be written by the
same man, C. Gardner Sullivan,
who wrote "The Coward" first of
all pictures to bring Ray out OF
the crowd. That was nearly "a
dozen years ago.
when announced four years
ago that l intended becoming an in

SUSPENSION BRIDGE
NEARS COMPLETION
Giant Structure Here Has Single
Span Stretching Over 1,750
Feet to Be Opened in 1925

PHILADELPHIA, August s.
Construction work on the great
delaware river suspension bridge,
according to officials of the COM
mission directing it's erections, Is
keeping pace with the schedule SCI
bv the engineers who designed 1t,
making it probable that July d
1926, the sesqui-centennial of the
signing of the Declaration of In
dependence, will see the new artery
of traffic opened between Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey.
The bridge, with span of 1850
feet between towers, according TO
the engineers, will be the largest Of
it's kind in the world. More than
a mile and half in total length, its
towers, already in place, reach 3S5
feet above the surface of the Leila
ware River.
Draped from the monster cables,
each of which will be 29 and one
half inches thick, the floor of the
bridge is to be 1876 feet above high
water, providing passage for the
largest craft without altering their
top hamper.
The bridge will be 125 feet wide
and will accommodate four tracks
for trolley and rapid transit lines
and a roadway for six lines CT
vehicles. Two walks for Pedestrian
will be built above the roadway.
The cost of the project is estimated
at $32,783,0OO, divided between
Philadelphia and Camden, and New
Jersey.
At its present stage, the structure
presents the appearance of a bridge
without floor. The towers and an
chorages are in position, and the
two shores linked by temporary
cables on which a narrow footpath
for workmen has been laid. Both
shores of the river are alive With
men and resound to the clatter oil
machinery, the grind of concrete
mixers and the sharp exhaust of
hosting engines. Tons of con-
crete are being poured daily in the
construction of the great anchor
ages. A wide swath has been cutl
into the heart of Philadelphia and
the heart of Camden to clear the
way for the approaches to the
bridge. Historic churches and
buildings have been moved or de- |
mohshed to make way for this
twentieth century project.

MANY SOVIET WARSHIPS
CRUISE FINNISH GULF

HELSINGFOES, Finland, August
8.-Surprise has been expressed in
the smaller states about the Baltic
Sea at the number of ships par
ticipating in the cruise of the Rus
sian Soviet fleet in the Gulf of Fin
land, which began few days ago.
Two dreadnaughts, six submarines,
five light cruisers, ten destroyers,
ten torpedo boats of French type
and a number Of repair ships have
been sighted, a greater number of
vessels than it was thought possible
could be commissioned. All the ships
appeared to be in a good state of
repair.
The fleet was recently sighted
close to the Esthonian coast, but
so far none of the vessels have APP
peared in Finish waters. AS the
Soviet authorities are said to be
anxious to make a demonstration
of the efficiency of their re-organ-
lied navy, it is expected that the
cruise will be extended to Danish
and German waters.

VENUS To TALK
ON HEALTH
BY WRC
Madeline Berlo and Diving
Girls Of L0ew's Strand on
Programs for Week.

1.-THE American Venus" Madeline
Berlo, and her Diving Girls. who
are the headliners at Loew's Strand
Theater this week, will broadcast
talks on physical culture and div.
ing tonight through WRC.
A new and novel plan has been
devised to permit the radio fan to
become better acquainted with the
diving girls program.
In order that the listener-in may
be able to visual each girl and her
particular kind of dive as she ex-
plains it over the radio, the Times
is printing today a picture Of each
girl, with an illustration Of her
dive, just below the picture Of
each girl.
The radio fan can cut out the
picture and when the program be-
gins; and each girl is announced
by name he can consult the pic
ture to see what she looks like
and then study the diagram below
| to help understand the talk.
In this way it will be much easier
| for the listener-in to understand just
| what positions and movements the
| girl is describing.
Madeline Berlo will preface the
remarks Of the individual divers
with a short explanation on how
swimming and diving will reduce
| the seeker of the "boyish" figure,
and aid the health of the diver.
The girls are billed" as "The
Personification of Physical Charms,
and their perfect "36" lines were
secured through swimming and div
ing. Miss Berlo claims.
