Alert Doctor Halls Epidemic

THE prompt action Of an alert health officer
! averted what might have been a serious out
break of trichinosis at Williamsville, N. Y. Two
or three cases Of the poisoning which comes
from eating improperly cooked pork were dis
covered and came to the health officers atten-
ton. He wasted no time in tracing the origin
of the pork, and then, following the trail to
others who had eaten the pork, he warned them
Of their danger. He explained the symptoms
and advised that physician be summoned at
once at the first signs that the parasite was
present in the bloodstream of those who ate the
meat. His prompt action kept the epidemic
from spreading far and although IS cases were
reported, none ended fatally. Trchinae, para
sites found in perhaps per cent of all hogs
slaughtered in this country get into the human
system when raw or undone pork is eaten.
After thousands of very small worms are pro-
duced, they work their way into the bloodStream
and are carried to the muscles. where they
form pear-shaped nests. No effective treatment
has been discovered unless the disease is caught
in the early stages.

Near Failure of Re0olution

A MERICANS today occasionally fail to realize
how narrowly the Revolution escaped
failure. An indication of the gravity of the
situation OF the Colonies in 1776 Is supplied
by the following estimate of conditions at
that moment: During the Summer Wash
ingtons forces were augmented to about $1,000
men; but the terms Of enlistment were con-
stantly expiring; sickness prevailed in the
camp, and the effective force was but little
more than half great as the aggregate. On
the other hand, Great Britain was making the
vastest preparations. By treaty with some
OF the petty German states, 1900 Hessian
mercenaries were hired to fight against
America. George III was going to queI his
revolted provinces by turning loose upon them
brutal foreign soldery; IS 900 additional
English troops were levied; an immense squad
ron was ftted out to aid in the reduction of
the Colonies, and $l,o00,000 was voted for the
extraordinary expenses of the war department.
By these measures the Americans were greatly
exasperated" Thus the historian Ridpath re-
capitulateS the relative values involved in the
struggle. Winning independence was . tedious

Hozv Indians Painted

Both the stains and paints were sometimes
sprayed on with the mouth-not q plan that
we would recommend-a little being taken into
the mouth, then elected with the breath in a
blast. This, however, was doubtless the very
first type of blow gun or paint sprayer. The
same principle is used TO-DAY to apply paints
rapidly in the home, in the shop and in the
large factory.
The opaque paints made from the oxides and
the carbonates, we're usually applied either with
a brush or with crude wooden Spatula, shaped
by hand and with point as wide as the line to
be drawn. The paints were usually kept handy
in large clam shells. You can use the spatula
stunt nicely, too, for decorating various things
when parallel strips are to be used. Simply
hold the spatula against a straight edge.

COR the most part, Indians obtained pigments
for their various war paints and decora-
tions from the earth. Iron oxides in all the
shades from bright yellow to deep red are
plentiful in many localities. Copper carbonate
too. provided several shades of pigments. In
few instances these were obtained from pits
and banks in form fine enough to use imme-
diately. More often the minerals were pulver-
lied in stone mortars-ground so fine that
when water was added, the resulting paint
would spread evenly and without Jumps
Stains for clothing and skins were usually
obtained from various wild roots and plants.
The bark Of the walnut, for instance, when
boiled in a little water, produced q dye 50
potent and permanent that even long exposure
to the sun had little effect.
