in this short time our club has shown
that it is worthy of it's existence and
that it has fulfilled the promises put
forward when it was organized.
One of the main objects of the club
is to bring the great mass of the
Jewish speaking working youth, who
are still under the influence of the
Zionist movement of the yellow ''For-

ward this aim we are working and
striving, and to some extent, we have
achieved it.

Notes On Fish-POisoning.

1t would seem from the recent reports
in our papers both in St. CroiX, and st.
Thomas that the numerous cases Of fish
poisoning would warrant a warning from
the Department of Health concerning the
manner of preventing these cases il SO
far as is possible.
1t is we'll known that in the Virgin Is
lands the varieties Of fish which cause
most of the cases of fish poisoning are
the Barracuda, Horse Cavalla" and
the "Carang''.
Perhaps to prevent these cases of fish
poisoning the employment OF certain com
mon sense rules will tend 10 yield the best
results. In the first place it would be
better If the people would fOreg0 the eat
ing of the three above named varieties
of fish at any time. There are those who
claim that a small Barracuda is not only
non poisonous but is also very paiatabIe.
There are others who say that Carang
should be eaten at only certain times of
tie year. There are in addition still
others who claim that none OF the above
named fish are poisonous but, that, the
symptoms OF so called poisoning are
caused by eating putrid or rotten fish on &C.
count of the fish having developed within
itself ptOmaines on account Of more or
less exposure to sun light or having been
kept in som warm place for too long a
time.
1t has been the experience Of the Chief
Municipal Physician while on duty as
Chief Sanitation Officer in Saint Thomas,
that practically all the cases of fish pois-
Oning were caused by the eating Of fish
which had become more or less decOm-
posed. In other words these cases were
cases strictly speaking, Of food poisoning
instead of poisoning caused by some in.
herent toxin within the fish itself.
If the public in general will follow the
rules as given below IN regard to eating
fish, probably there will be very little if
any further cases of fish poisoning to
bother about.
l.. Never eat "Carang". Horse Caval.
la" nor Barracuda
2. Be sure that the fish eaten are very
fresh. FRESHNESS Of fish can be assured
by the following qualities.)
First. Firmness CT Flesh.
Second. Brightness and fImness of
the eyes. "a fish with glazed eyes sunk.
en- in and soft is usually not a safe fish to
eat.)
Third. Be sure that the fish smell
fresh. "a bad odOur is usually natures
way of telling Us Hands off,.
Fourth. Obtain your fish from persons
who are usually reliable in regard to not
selling rottOn fish.
