and hop around q ball room floor

q genuine passion for fishing and

sect bites. Generally speaking, the
sexes do not smuSe themselves In the
same way and, inasmuch as the pur-
pose of q vacation Is to AFFORD the
vacstioners change, relaxation and
put some joy into living. it seems
pity that husbands and wives do not
appreciate the wisdom OF enjoying
their holiday each In his or her own
fashion and giving the same privi-
lege to the other.
INSTEAD OF having the common
sense and the backbone to do this,
however, and let the neighbors say
what they will, most married peO-
Pile feel that they are in duty bound
to take their vacations together and
spoil what should have been q party
by dragging along somebody who
didn't want to come and was just
dying to 60 somewhere else. One Of the
saddsst sights in all Europe Is the
furious, bored American husband
whose wife has forced him to come
with her on the trip abroad she has
been dreaming of all Of her life, and
who is taking every bit Of the pleas
ure out of 1t by his complaints and
his criticisms and his refusal to like
anything or be interested in anything.

had been left at home to play golf.

The Old Gardener Says:

One of the good new tools is
rake designed for the special pur-
pose of removing dandelion bios
SONS. 1t is very simple tool
with fiat teeth fitted to curved
shaft. The teeth are pointed at
the end. but wide st the base,
where they almost touch. The
rake slides over the lawn easily
and seldom misses a blossom.
The average lawn can be trans
formed from q sea of yellow dan
delions into cool green surface
in a half hours work. Probably
this Is the best way to get rid
Of the dandelion nuisance. The
plants will die out If the flower
heads are persistenely removed
before they go to seed, and If
the leaves are kept cut down by
the lawn-mOwer. OF course, 1t
may be necessary to do a little
missionary work with the neigh

H0U Food POisOnings
From Beasts Affect Man

The other form Of food poisoning
due to food infection by the Sal
monella group is fairly common
about a hundred outbreaks year
occur in the United States.
The cause is infection of food
with some member Of the Salmo-
nella group Of germs. These cause
intestinal infection in animals SAL
monella suipestifer may be a Sec
ondary invader in the course Of hog
cholera. Whether food poisoning
is always due to eating the flesh
of sick animal, or whether infec-
ton of wholesome meat occurs aft
erwards, Is not decided.
Gaertner isolated the germ re-
sponsible for food poisoning in 1888
in Saxony. Fifty-seven persons
had become i'll from eating the
flesh of cow that had been killed
because it was sick. One man who
had eaten two pounds of nearly
raw flesh died in SO hours.
Food poisoning is commoner in
England than here, and even COM
moner on the continent, because
they more often slaughter and eat
sick animals.
Most outbreaks of food poisoning
are due to some form of prepared
meat, such as sausage, chopped
meat and meat pies. These foods
are seldom thoroughly cooked. The
inside of a hamburger steak, for
instance, Is nearly always raw.
Many other foods coming in con-
tact with infected meat will act as
vehicles-the cornstarch cream fill
ing of eclairs or cream puffs is an
especially good medium.
The symptoms in man are nau-
sea, fever, diarrhea and prostra-
ton. An attack lasts about three
days to a week. 1t is not very dam
gerous. The mortality, when re-
ports are carefully analysed, comes
down to GA per cent. but even that
is probably too high.

The Badoglio strategy of mass ad-

Furthermore the German italian
