What is salmonella food poison
ing?
Health authorities at the present
time are of the opinion that mos
food poisoning is due to salmonella
infection. 1t used to be called "pto-
maine poisoning" but this is an
inaccurate term.
Salmonella is a germ which is
particularly likely to infest food.
Probably a great deal of what
has been called intestinal influenza
this winter is due to salmonella
poisoning.
Salmonella cause acute irrita-
ton of the stomach and intestinal
tract, with nausea, vomiting, pros
tration and a slight temperature.
According to M. j. Rosenau, the
famous authority on hygiene in the
United States, Most instances of
food poisoning are from food that
is fingered and fused over, made
quately p%rocessed or imperfectly
preserved. There is little danger in
fresh, clean food, whereas food
that is prepared hours before it
is eaten gives opportunity for the
growth of bacteria. The chief
offenders in food infection are
meat, milk and mixtures contain.
ing these products"
In treatment, salmonella infec-
ton is self-limited and usually dis
appears after two or three days Of
liquid diet and the use of mild
sedatives.
OCUPATIONAL HAZARDS
IN PHOTOGRAPHY
Are there any occupational haz.
ards among photographers?
Nowadays photography is a high.
ly individualistic art, and a great
many different chemicals r used
which have different possibilities
of i'll effects. No two large estab.
lishments are precisely the same
chemicals. There is. therefore, no
single occupational disease due to
any single chemical procedure
which can be put down as a haz-
ard for photographers.
Such things as the sulfates, for
instance, diamidophenol sulfate,
acids, solium thiosUlfate, borax
and potassium bromide may cause
eruptions on the skin and dermat-
tits, either from contact or from
inhalation of these substances.
A great many chemicals used in
photography but benzine is used
in mounting prints and in differ
ent kinds of cement, so photograph
hers are exposed to evaporated
benzine. In case of suspicion, il
would be well to investigate the
fatiguability of the person who is
ill; also make a careful blood
count and find out what kind Of
mounting cement is used.

DEFINITIONS
BIG PROBLEM

Equally important r the def
nitions. The law, for instance, says
executives and administrative en-
ployes 7 exempt, that learners
in a given industry are exempt,
that the packing of agricultural
products in the area of production
is exempt, that seasonal industries
may get seasonal exemption from
the law, and so on.
But it doesn't say what an execu-
tive or administrative employe is,
what a learner is, what an area Of
production is or what a seasonal
industry is. The making of those
definitions is up to the head Of
the Wage-hour division.
Colonel Fleming is now re-ex-
aiming all of these definitions. To
date, seven public hearings have
been ordered, at which men who
feel that the present definitions are
too narrow can come in and speak
their minds. Often overlooked is
the fact that Colonel Fleming, at,
ter these hearings, a reWrite any
or all of the definitions if he
chooses to do so.

some alarm among left-wingers
