Food Poisoning Rare
Nowadays Doctors Say.

With modern refrigeration and i'm
proved commercial methods of canning,
food poisoning has been much reduced
in the United States.
What used to be universal hazard
of summer, according TO members OF
the Minnesota State Medical ASsocia-
tons committee on public health edu-
cation, is now the exception. But
housewives, especially, are warned by
the physicians to keep in mind certain
special sources of food poisoning so
as to avoid them in hot weather.
The commonest of these, according TO
the bulletin issued by the doctors to-
day, is found in custard and cream
filed pies, cakes and eclairs.
The filings in these bakery confec-
tons provide admirable surroundings
for growth of germs if they are kept
for any length of time at ordinary
summer temperatures. Sometimes they
are left for an entire day and more in
bakery show case or on a counter
without refrigeration. Often the cream
mixture is open to flies while it is in
preparation or to contamination from
worker suffering from an infection
The bacteria thus introduced grow
rapidly and the cake is likely TO be
thoroughly contaminated long before
any alteration has taken place in looks
or taste.
Another source of food poisoning
the boulinus, is becoming much rarer
but still occurs occasionally, according
to the physicians. Usually it results
from eating home-canned food. The
botulinus is an organism found in the
soil and poisonous only when it is i'm
| prisoned alive in a sealed container
| Under those circumstances it produces
poison that is highly dangerous Tc
prevent it's development, thorough
cooking at high temperatures to Kill
the organism before canning is neces-
sery. Cooking the food for at least e
minutes after it is removed from the
can will also destroy the poison Acids
aid in preventing growth Of the poison
and outbreaks of botulinus poisoning
are much more likely to occur from
eating improperly canned vegetable:
such as corn, beans and asparagus
than in fruit.

There are several different routes for
those owning automobiles to get out OF
Virginia for a Sunday outing, says the
Daily Virginian. Among the best, if
not the best, is the trip from Virginia
to Ely and Winton via Tower. Grant
McMahan is the one county commits
sioner who really knows how to build
roads, and after once building them,
to keep them in repair. 1t would be
well if the county gave him supervision
over all the roads in the county. The
people would then be sure the money
had been spent right and it wouldn't
be all a persons life was worth to get
from one place to another.
