The |K)ison in canned food is destroyed by toiling for 10 min utes, Professor Copson adds. The germ forms a spore which re sists boiling temperatures, but which is harmless in the human body. It is advisable, however, to retoil foods. Salt and matches are a “ must” if you expect to enjoy your camp ing trip. If you expect to con tinue to enjoy camping always take a shovel, an axe. and a bucket, and use them until you are sure your fire is out. Keep Oregon green.

DEM OTHING NOTHING DOW N-AS LOW AS "Don’t try to tell by odor or appearance whether home canned string beans, corn or peas are spoiled or not. Boil them and taste them afterwards.” This is the advice of G. V. Cop- son, head of the bacteriology de partment at O.S.C., who lias test ed scores of food samples for the deadly botulism. Such food that may cmell and appear all right may carry enough poison to be deadly while food that is com pletely spoiled can be rendered harmless by toiling. Botulinus poisoning is caused by a germ fairly common in Ore gon soils. Professor Copson ex plains. While it rarely appears when reasonable care is used in canning, it is so deadly that it is not safe to take chances at any time. He also warns against throwing suspicious canned food to chickens until it is boiled as F R ID A Y , J U L Y 18, 1947 Surveyor FOR RENT Piano Tuning, Cleaning Complete Installations as Low os $345.00 Boil First, Taste Later, Best Anti-Botulism Rule Formt, Subdivisions, Lott Acreoge, Orchard Tracts Beaverton, Ore. liiiild in g ?
