Sandwiches with apparently innocent
boiled ham filing were responsible for
the recent outbreak of trichina in
lection In northern Minnesota, the
Minnesota State Medical Association
says in its regular weekly bulletin.
The outbreak is cited as an unusual
example of how anyone may quite I'M
suspectingly fall afoul Of dangerous
parasites.
The ham from which the sandwich
filling was made was not in itself, at
fault. 1t had been thoroughly boiled
and was harmless, the bulletin says.
If the hostess who was making the
sandwiches had ground it at home no
harm would have come of 1t. But she
asked the butcher to grind 1t in his
big grinder, instead. and medical in
vestigators discovered that this grinder
retained no less than half a pound OF
residue from former grindings each
time it was used.
The parasite that went into the
nicely cooked ham filling is the rat
borne trichina which attack hogs be-
cause their quarters are generally In
tested. The parasite was in the un-
cooked residue and some II persons
who ate the sandwiches are now Suf-
fering from the infection.
These parasites have curious life
history the bulletin says, which has q
direct bearing on the progress of the
disease. They are incapable of harm
ing man rbeast until they enter the
intestine. There they develop to mat

JACKS OWN CORNER
SOLVES PLAY PROBLEM

Minnesota mothers know that win
ter means many hours which the chill
dren must spend indoors. How to
provide happy, profitable play and
not have Jack demand all of mothers
attention, is question. Miss Gladys
E. Nordeen, instructor in home econ
omics, University Farm, St. Paul,
suggests that place for Jack to
call his own is real help. If it is
not possible to provide a room for
this purpose, just a corner of his
sleeping room or the living or dining
room that belongs exclusively to him,
will not only eliminate confusion and
worry for the parents, but will teach
Jack to care for his own toys and to
respect the rights of others, she says.
This corner should be as sunny as
possible and convenient for the moth
er. 1t requires some space for toys,
such as low cupboard box or win
dow seat. An inexpensive and prac-
teal cupboard may be made of two
or three wooden boxes placed one
above the other and covered with
cretonne, picture linen, denim or oil
cloth. The wall in this corner can
be protected by piece of covered
wallboard which also serves as an ex-
cellent background for pictures, cut
outs, or piece of slated cloth for
use of chalk crayons. A low table
and chair may complete the corner.
A "Rainy Day Box" is a happy
surprise for the children when the
question of "What to Do Next" aris-
es. Odds and ends which might
otherwise be thrown away, such as
bits of colored cloth and paper, rib
bons, strings, spools, buttons, corks,
old magazines, postcards, little box
es, jars and covers, bits of smooth
boards, old purses, and many other
articles put into this box from time
to time, furnish material for many
happy hours of constructive play. A
play pen for the child who does not
walk is real help for both mother
and child. With good substantial
toys which have purpose, the child
can be left safely alone to play and
mother is free to work or rest.

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

While preparations for attending the
ninth centennial Christianization
Jubilee at Nidaros (Trohdhjem) are
in progress among thousands of Nor
wegian-Americans who are planning
to go to the old country" for this
occasion. a minister of the state
church of Norway publicly protests
against the celebration on the ground
that spiritual life among his country
men is utterly inactive. and. further
more. he says, if there is to be any such
celebration. it ought to be sponsored
by the Roman Catholic church since
the man whose life work is to be
glorified, King ST. Olaf, was not only
a Catholic. but in due time was cam
onized as a saint of the Catholic
church. At this late hour it is not
thought, however. that this or similar
criticism will effect any change in
the program. and the Norwegian
Americans may calmly go on with
