Danger of Contaminated Food
There are two outstanding sources
of danger in eating food that is not I
thoroughly cooked. First, there are ,
the toxins generated by bacteria in the
food, of which the most frequent are 1
those produced by a germ, closely al-
lied to the one that is responsible for
typhoid fever (para-typhold), and an-
other which is closely allied to the
bacillus that is responsible for Hog
Cholera. Then there are the germs
responsible for decomposition. These,
in fact, are to blame for the majority
of cases in which vomiting and
diarrhoea occurs in from six to twen-
ty-four, or at the outside forty-eight,
hours after eating contaminated f:)od.
The condition thus produced has
been misnamed "Ptomaine Poisoning."
As a matter of fact we do not encount-
er any such condition 'as Ptomaine
Poisoning, inasmuch as it has been
repeatedly pointed out by those doing
research work en food polsonirg, that
ptomaines are not formed in food until
decomposition has so far advanced
that both odor and taste of the food
would be nauseating. Therefore, it is
not the food, but the dangerous bacter-
ia and their toxins that have gained
access to it that give rise to the symp-
tons already mentioned.
Fortunately, the majority of these
case of food poisoning are of a mild
character. In fact, very few people
have :lot fallen victims to attacks of
diarrhoeo and vomiting, probably with
more or less pain, after partaking of
certain articles of diet; but these
symptoms, in the majority of cases,
pass off without treatment, and,
therefore, nothing is known of them
outside of the home in which they
occur.
However, there is an element of
danger about the term "Ptomaine Poi-
soning," as there is evidence of it
having been misused by the public as
a diagnosis of many attacks of acute
indigestion and many other conditions,
not the least amongst them being ap-
pendicitis. One case cane under ob-
servation not long since, when a
young man, after one of these attacks
of so-called ptomaine poisoning, of
which he had had several previous at-
tacks, and for which he had never
consulted a physcian, was promptly
operated on for appendicitis. His ap-
pendix was found to be in. a condition
that had been placing his life praet-
cally over a magazine that might have
exp: oded at any time, causing death
with a comparatively short period,
if an operation could not have been
immediately performed.
Even gall stone attacks have been
looked upon as possible attacks of
ptomaine poisoning.
However, inasmuch as a number of
the cases that have come under public
r otice have proven fatal, it is unwise
to take any chances, ---but secure
medical advice when you suspect food
poisoning.
To Each His Own.
(A Philosophy of the Road)
You roll along in limosine, I suffer the
dust you fling,
As over the footpath. I blithely fare,
where the glad -heart vespers ring;
Riding is good, and I like not dust, but
this I tell you true:
'or all your cushioned and careless
ease, I would not change with you!
You glance through a window casually,
and note that the trees are green;
Questing, I joy in the wee nest hid
midst the hedgerow's sheltering
screen;
An instant you see the squirrel's
poise, on the trunk of a grand old
tree;
stop for a friendly argument, and he
shares my nuts with me!
'jZcm fret at the tricksy, sun -shot show-
er that dims your crystal pane;
X :stand bliss -bound in the fragrance
loosed by the fingers of the rain!
'You catch a glimpse, as you whirl a-
long, of the wide sky's blue and
white;
thrill to the sweep of its loveliness,
Its marvelous breadth and height!
!To some engagement you hurry past,
with small thought of the way;
st loiter on, from friend to friend, at the
close of a toil -filled day;
'You ride, over rather a boresome road,
•as swiftly as may be;
X walk, in awonder-world--and yet,
you would not change with me!

Well Remembered.
Hawkins was a greedy, self-seeking
ellow, who expected to benefit by his
rich uncle's death. The latter had not
failed to observe the nephew's charac-
ter, however, and when in his death-
'feed he sent for Hawkins.
"I haven't forgotten you, George,"
iia said; "got you down in my will."
At the funeral Hawkins invested in
en expensive wreath and attended to
,hear the will read.
"To my dear nephew George," ran
the document, "1 leave an illustrated
pdition of Diokeaae 'Great 17xpeeta-
)ions.' „
Cl[BLUREI1 OF ALL DOES
Children of all ages—whether it be
the new-born babe or the growing
child --have to be constantly guarded
as to their health. Upon the good
health of the little one largely de-
pends his strength and usefulness in
after years. Baby's Own Tablets are
the ideal home medicine for children of
all ages. They are a gentle but thor-
ough laxative which are absolutely
guaranteed to be free from opiates or
other harmful drugs and which may
be given to the youngest child with
perfect safety and beneficial results.
Through their action on the bowels
and stomach they banish constipation
and indigestion; break up colds and
simple fevers and make teething easy.
Mothers, you can make your little
ones well and keep them well by just
keeping a box of the Tablets at hand
and by giving .an occasional dose to
the baby to keep his little bowels reg-
ular and his stomach sweet. The Tab-
lets are sold by medicine dealers or
by mail at 25 cents a box from The
Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville,

called upon Mr. Jones after the birth
of kis first reversed the usual 'order Of
things.
She was full of advice. She told
him what to do and what. not to do,
how to treat the baby when it cried,
how to sing to it, he* to talk to it,
what toys to give it, what school to
send it to, what religion- it should fol-

Mr. Jones was just about toask her
advice regarding the color of its coffin
when she suddenly jumped up and
said she was sorry, but she really
mast be going. -
"Really?" murmured Mr. Tries faint-
ly.
"Yes. I really grist. Good-bye!
I expect your baby will be much larg-
er when I see her again."
"Yes," said Mr. Jones. "I -sincerely
hope so."'

"Fine" has many meanings to the Lantic user! In
snowy glistening crystals of pure cane sugar—all
sugar and nothing else—Lantic brings you concen-
trated sweetening. And because each crystal is fine
and even, Lantic dissolves at once—it instantly delivers
its great sweetening power without hesitation. Of
course it goes farther. Of course it costs less. Of
course you will like it fine.
In PRESERVING late fruits such as pears, plums and peaches, it elimin=
ates the danger of over -cooking, which robs fruit of its natural color and
shape, and some of its flavor.
In BAKING, Lantic creams quickly with the butter—which makes the
calve light and dainty, Creaming need not be tedious.
In CANDY -MAKING fine granulation gives candy a soft velvety quality.
Most of the highest grade chocolates and finer candies are made with
Lantic. The exquisite "velours" of the best chocolate creams comes from
Lantic fineness.
In TEA or COFFEE, in fact in all beverages (hot or cold), every Lantic crys-
tal dissolves at once, yielding readily the full sweetening of the purest cane.
