Food Poisoning Menace
Grows with Warm DAYS

With the onset Of warm weather
housewives and restaurants alike
must guard against food poison
ing, the State Department Of
Health says.
Warm weather gives the bacter-
ia or germs which may be present
in foods q chance to multiply rap
idly, and consequently food s
which can be eaten during the cool
months without danger must be
carefully prepared and properly
refrigerated now. DIR. W. r. Giedt
State Epidemiologist, said that .
food poisoning outbreaks, involv-
ing 1877 persons, were reported to
his Office last year.
food poisoning Is seldom Ia
tai, but It makes an individual ex-
tremely sick" DIR. Giedt said.
; Cream-hlled pies, which afford
q good growing place for staphy-
lococcuS bacteria in the warm
months, were responsible for eight
outbreaks last year, with 20 per-
sons affected. Meat-filled sand
witches were next ON the list, caus-
ing three outbreaks.
DIR. Geidt advised both house
wives and restaurant operators to
be sure that all sanitary precau-
ton were observed in preparing
foods and to be sure that perish
able foods are kept under refrig-
Grafton 1t 50 degrees or less.

Marylano's new Republican Repre-
sentative from the Eastern Shore
district-Col. Edward T. Miller-is a
lawyer, farmer and veteran OF both
World Wars.
He was attending George Wash
ington Law School here when he
left in 1917 to join the infantry. He
fought overseas at the Somme, St.
Mihiel and in the Argonne.
During the years between the wars
he kept his commission in the Active
Reserve, and was promoted to COM
mand Maryland's only reserve regi-
ment, the 319th Infantry, in 1887, re-
tanning that command with the rank
of colonel, until called into active
duty in 1912.
On active duty, he served In this
country at Camp Croft and Fort
Benning, and on the War Depart
ment Manpower Board until he went
overseas in December, 1943, to Africa,
thence to India, and finally flew the
''hump" to serve with the Chinese
Combat Command for 81 months.
Early in 1945, he was ordered to
move Chinese troops from the north
OF China to save RUNNING. From
one station alone in this operation
100000 Chinese troops were moved
by air. For his contribution to the
Chinese war effort. he was named
major general in the Chinese COM

German Study Shows
Man S Health Affected
By Electricity in Air
By Thomas R. Henry

Electric air may be an important.
. hitherto unrecognized factor in
human health.
Among the docume ents just
brought out of Germany by the
Army are those dealing with re-
searches extended over eight years
by DR.. Boris Rojewsky of the Kaiser
Wilhelm Inst tute of Biophysics at
Frankfurt. They dealt with an un-
explored field of medicine-the ef-
fects of cracked molecules of air on
human beings.
The atmosphere constantly Is be-
ing electrified, or made electrically
conducting, by lightning flashes,
cosmic rays and many other causes.
Air particles may carry either posi-
tive or negative electrical charges.
In general, Dr. Rojewsky found,
positively electrified air has unde-
sirable effects on the feelings, pro-
ducing discomfort, i'll temper, de-
preston and anxiety. In allergic
persons 1t may result in attacks OF
asthma, hay fever, high blood pres
sure and nervous tension. On the
other hand, it was found, negatively
charged air tends to create feel
ing of we'll being, similar to noun
tain air.
Since barometric changes, par
ticularly in areas of loose, sandy
soil with a deep water table, cause
relatively Large and rapid changes
in air ionization, this offers a pos
sible explanation for the physiolog-
ical and psychological changes
which often accompany falling air
pressure.
Rojewsky found that high blood
pressure could be reduced by treat
ing patients with negatively elec-
trif1ed air. Positively ionized air,
on the other hand, raised blood pres
sure, sometimes to the danger point.
The studies showed that positively
charged particles induced symptoms
similar to those of high altitude
sickness with labored breathing,
dizziness, fatigue and sleepiness.

Mr.. Truman were sober and reason

that he had taken a night course
in Spanish just to keep his mind of
