FOOD POISON
IS DISCUSSED
Information on BOtuliSm
Issued by A Former
ASkOV Girl.
Dreaded Bacteria Turks in
Certain Home Canned
Foods, Says She.

Miss Bodil Feneer, former
Askov young Lady and the daugh-
ter of Mrs. P. N. Fenger OF this
community, in response to sew
eral inquiries regarding botu-
linus spoilage in food, summar-
ICES some material which may be
of general interest and help. MISS
Fenger is home economist for
Family Service in st. Paul.
Especially should this infor-
nation be timely since, as re-
ported last week, a young Tyler
man was fatally poisoned by eat
ing some home canned food con-
tanning botulism poisoning. Miss
Fenger's letter follows:
Botulism, a particular type OF 1000
poisoning, is caused by bacteria called
Clostridium botulinum. 1t has been
definitely recognized since 1920, ana
a number of cases have been re-
ported both in Europe and the united
States since then with a fatality OF
about 67%o. Samples of the bacteria
have been found in the soil in all
parts of the United States, principally
however, on the Pacific Coast, Missls-
sippi Valley, and the Great Lakes Re-
gion. They have been found on fruit,
hay, vegetables, and on bodies OF in
sects and spiders. This, however, is
relatively unimportant since only
preserved foods, not fresh ones are
concerned in the production of botu-
lism and only such methods OF pre-
servation as exclude oxygen are con-
cerned," -cGeneral Bacteriology,' by
E. o. Jordan-1935). Preserved foods
of the following types have been
known to cause botulism: Fish, pork,
sausage, beans, beets, corn, spinach
asparagus, pears, apricots and ripe
olives.
B. botulinus is spore forming
anaerobe which grows well at tenn
peratures between 6S degrees F. and
100 degrees F. in foodstuffs from
which oxygen has been excluded. The
fact that it can grow only in the abb
sence of oxygen explains in part the
relatively rare occurrence of botu-
lism. During the growth of the bac-
terra a potent toxin is formed which
causes the poison; at the same time
various chemical changes take place
in the foodstuffs. These are not al
ways visible and even the flavor may
not be noticeably affected. The toxin
is not produced after the bacteria OF
spores enter the body nor is it de-
stroyed by intestinal secretions after
having entered the body. The i'm
portant consideration is, therefore, tC
prevent the possibility of consuming
the toxin.
Food Should be Cooked.
Thorough cleaning of garden vege.
tables and fruits, scrupulous atten-
tion to the cleanliness of utensils, con-
stitute a first line defense against
botulism that should always be main.

AUTO TAXES TOTAL
81 PCT. CAR VALUE
Jenkins Points to Tremen-
dous Load Carried by
Owners of Cars

AutomOtive taxes paid by North
Carolina motor vehicle owners aver
age 31.4 per cent CT the value of their
vehicles as compared with an average
tax rate CT IT per cent on real estate
ard other property, it was estimated
today by ]. w. Jenkins, oil distributor
mere.
Pointing out that the average value
of motor vehicles in this State is 1912,
Mr.. Jenkins said that last year auto
motive taxes averaged $66.63. At this
rate, he added, the motorist pays FOR
his vehicle in taxes in three years
and two months, whereas the owner
of real and other property finds many
years passing before his tax bill
equals the assessed value Of his pro-
perty. He advocated repeal of federal
automotive taxes, and use of revenue
taxes and registration fees exclusively
for highway financing.
Motorists of this state, on the av-
erage, pay $66.63 q year in special adj
ditional motor vehicle taxes, of which
$10.98 represents the cost of federal
motor taxes said Mr. Jenkins.
'These federal levies increase the
motorists tax bill about 1877 per cent.
Ali in all this motor tax bill amounts
to 31.4 per cent Of the 1912 value Of
the average motor vehicle. In three
years and two months the motorist
will have paid for his motor vehicle
over again in taxes! The national av-
eIage is four years and seven months,
but in the case of taxes on real and
other property 81 years pass before
taxes are equivalent to value. In this
state the tax rate on real property is
estimated at II per cent.
THE high cost of motor taxes in
dicates the necessity of being fair to
the motorist, as one of the State
largest sources of revenue. Fairness
calls for reasonable state gasoline
sales taxes and registration fees, and
use of the revenue therefrom ex-
exclusively for highway financing.
The motorst is paying for roads, and
should have them. Fairness calls also
fer repeal Of the duplicating federal
gasoline tax"
