COAST GUARD SERVICE NEEDED
 HERE.

For several years it has been the custom of the United States Coast Guard authorities to detach the vessel stationed in this port and assign it to annual migration to the breeding grounds at the Pribiof Islands Just what condition originated this practice is locally unknown but in very recent times it has been strictly adhered to. The need for protection local shipping and fishing interests has not been weighed in the final consideration. The seals have had first call and other demands upon the service have been permitted to go un- needed.
 Why it is necessary to give the seal herds armed protection in their annual migrations, insofar negotiation of Territorial waters is concerned, has never been demonstrated In other waters it may require the patrol of armed vessels to insure the safety of these mammals But no sane man will argue that that condition exists here With or with out guard, the herds will voyage through Alaskan Coast Guard cutters does not add iota to their security.
 Yet for some three months each year, the Coast Guard vessel making this port her headquarters is taken away to convoy the seals. During it's ab sence local shipping is without protection. The Chamber of Commerce does well to protest against such a policy. Its objections well founded. The the convoy policy be changed so that the services of the local Coast Guard vessel will not be re- qured for this patrol and that it be left here at all times to respond to call in any emergency that may arise.

HOME BANNERS WARNED TO GUARD
 AGAINST BOTULISM.

The recent of food poisoning in North Dakota. in which 12 persons died from eating home canned peas, has prompted the United States Department of Agriculture to call attention again to a method of canning nonacid vegetables in the home to guard against the deadly botulinus poison.
 The bacteria that cause botulism abundant in many soils Some may be present in most soils, and consequently may be the vegetables to be canned. When these bacteria germinate in a closed container they form a deadly poison. They will not grow in salt solutions, however if the percentage of salt is higher than per cent and they will be killed at boiling temperature if the solution is sufficiently acid,
 In the canning of nonacid vegetables peas, asparagus, beans corn, beets and spinach-the only safe course is to destroy all bacteria that may be present by canning under steam pressure according to the Bureau of Home Economics. In the case of acid vegetables and fruits such tomatoes apples peaches and gooseberries the bacteria killed at boiling temperature C212 degrees F9; but with non

acid vegetables there is no assurance that the botulinus organisms will be killed by processing in boiling water unless the material is heated for six hours or longer. Obviously, 6-hour treatment of peas or similar vegetables would result in a very unattractive product. much shorter heating time is required at temperature of 24O degrees or 250 degrees F such may be obtained in a pressure cooker.
 Pressure cookers now standard equipment and readily available at small cost. The de- partment does not recommend any particular make, although it emphasizes the importance of having the pressure kettle equipped with 8 thermometer and pressure gauge for proper control. There is now no excuse the department says, for continuing to take risks involved in canning nonacid foods without adequate pressure cooking or curing or qualification. ts .h 1e,
 Ordinary types of spoage may usually be de- tected by the odor appearance of the can or it's contents but the botulinus toxin may be present without any signs of spoilage If present in small quantities this toxin is destroyed by boiling, &C., cordng to the Bureau of Home Economics, therefora it recommends that all home-canned vegetables and meats when opened for consumption De boiled for at least 10 minutes before they are tasted

While the retirement of Senator Ransdel of Louisiana is to be regretted he has the satisfaction that he has done much for public health and has sponsored that will bear fruit through erations. In his parting word to the Senate he called attention to the opportunity for private wealth to aid through the National Institute of Health whose establishment he secured in seeking the sources of prevalent diseases to the end that they may be controlled prevented.

Cant you get a little more variety

an advertisement which has lately ap-
peared In newspapers and on biIIboards
about Los Angeles.
1t announced the opening of the
New Studio Theater on Hollywood
Boulevard, at which the feature picture
was THE Viking" You will remember
the tragedy that accompanied the max
ing of that picture. An explosion In
the Arctic caused the death of Varick
Frissell, the valiant sponsor of the film,
and twenty-five others. 1t was probably
the worst disaster that has ever oc-
Cured in connection with the produc-
ton Of a movie And now the press
agents are making the most of It. Their
advertisements scream forth:
"Twenty-six Men Died To Open

Somehow or other, It is not tremend-
ously gratifying to learn that young
Varick FriSsell and twenty-five others
gave their lives to make q Hollywood
holiday.
