sandwiches had ground it at home no
asked the butcher to grind it in his
big grinder, instead, and medical in
vestigators discovered that this grind
er 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
oOrne trichina which attack hogs be-
cause their quarters are generally rat
infested. The parasite was in the
uncoOked residue and some II per-
sons who ate the sandwiches are now
suffering from the infection.
These parasites have curious life
history the bulletin says, which has
direct bearing on the progress of
the disease. They are incapable Of
harming man or beast until they enter
the intestine. There they develop to
maturity, produce their embryos, and
the trouble begins.
The embryos have prediction
for muscle tissue. They penetrate the
entestinal wall, enter the blood stream
and are carried to the muscle fibre
anywhere i'm the body to complete
their life cycle.
Sometimes they lodge in the sole
of the foot; sometimes in the arm or
the diaphragm or the heart muscle.
Wherever they go they set up an in
flammation and then enclose them
selves in a hard capsule to wait,
sometimes for years, until chance
sends them on another adventure into
the intestine of some other host
They are impotent to harm their
original hosts, these medical experts
say, after enclosure in the capsule.
The inflammation may be very seri-
Gus while it lasts, however, causing
occasional deaths. Fortunately the
present outbreak has been unusually
mild.
Thorough cooking of the flesh that
holds the parasite will make it safe
to eat, of course. Since there is no
microscopic inspection of meat in the
United States neither inspectors nor
meat packers can be held to account
for an outbreak of trichinosis. Con-
sumers. everywhere, have been so
thoroughly warned of the danger.
however. that outbreaks of the in
lection have become extremely rare.
The one cited is the first in Mime
sofa for more than a decade. the bull
letin declares.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page u

Grafton of Labor insists on giving
periodical reports on working condi-
tions.
On May %, the union leaders re-
ported that little improvement had
been noted in the ranks of the job
less during May. The depression has
hit the city wage earners more seri-
Ously, as the nearby country towns
and rural districts have been in a
position to take up some of the slack.
A study by the Department of Labor
has shown that the so-called ma
chine-age" has resulted in increased
employment for women. This is par
ticularly true in cigar and shoe manu-
featuring in the Middle West. Indus
trial changes have, however, been re-
spOnsible for lessened demand for
women workers in the telephone and
paper box industries
Judging from the flood of state
ments regarding farm prices, indus
trial activity and general prosperity,
the busiest class are the statisticans.
The Congressional Record is cluttered
up with statistical charts represent
ing wide difference of opinion as
to the state of the nation. 1t has been
said that figures cannot lie," yet the
counter-reply is that Statistics can
be made to prove anything"
Different gauges are used to meas
ure the ebb and flow of business. For
instance car loadings are taken as an
index of industrial activity. The
loadings are still 10 per cent below
similar periods Last wear. Govern
ment agencies report that the general
level of farm prices has declined.
There are certain bright spots to re-
lieve what otherwise would be a
gloomy picture. Sales of chain stores
and mail order houses were up two
per cent this year. Ordinarily, a per-
sons view of prevailing economic con-
ditions hinges on the character of
his own job and the size of his peck

with an apparently innocent boiled
ham filling were responsible for the
recent outbreak of trichina infection

The outbreak is cited as an un-
usual example of how anyone may
quite unsuspectingly fall afoul of
dangerous parasites.
The ham from which the sandwich
filling was made was not in itself, at

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. w. Straus.

A man who is often referred to as
business genius recently said: Ear
ly in life, when boy, formed ha-
bit of jotting down a record of every
penny | spent. This taught me the
! value of system and frugality. | soon
ey. AS | grew, developed habits oil
general thrift from this simple begin
ming, and, with small amount of ca
pital thus available when l reached
the age of maturity, | was able to
take advantage Of opportunities that
led to subsequent success Many
other men who have achieved great
success in the business world could
give similar testimony.
One of the first essentials in max
ing plans to keep a budget. This
may seem trivial matter yet it is
the only method by which any person
can plan his financial affairs scien-
tifically or develop greater efficiency
in personal economics.
The value of budget keeping is
especially applicable to the young,
for the habit thus formed early in
life is quite apt to be carried along as
permanent routine.
Every business concern keeps a
strict account of every penny re-
caived and spent, and a business
which transacted it's affairs in any
other manner would be most incapably
managed.

head in the world and be prepared

Here is mystery in figures that
you will find hard to eXpain. Take
any three numbers such as 345. Re
verse them to read 543 Subtract the
345. Result is 1913. No matter what
three figures you take, if you go
through this process, the result will
always contain the figure 9 as the
middle digit, and the other two ad-
ded will always make 9.

keeping an accurate daily record OF

the adoption of this system your pro-
gress in thrift will be made dOubly
easy and you will soon be surprised
at the difference these well-ordered
practices make in the amount of your
savings.
