Ye Smudge Pot
''By Arthur Perry
' An Arizona editor is In the hospital
suffering from a fractured skull;- the
result of being hit with a pasta pot
hurled by an Irate female, who took
offense at "an innocent paragraph.1
The innocent paragraphs are uhvnyti
more deadly than the guilty ones.
Most scribes know without being hit
in the head, with the first article at
hand, that it is the height of dare-
devlltry to niontion the socalled fair
sex in print, except in terms of flat
tery and compliment. If they do not
seek vengeance in person, they send
their pugnacious menfolks around to
get It.' Once your oorr. went crazy,
and penned a merry quip about a
lady, at least that was what sho
seemed at the timo. Kor three days
whito hopes streamed into the sanc
tunvbent on destruction, and Immune
frotn all reasoning. The only thing
that kept the coroner away, and black
headlines off the front liage, was a
bottle of Bunnybrook whiskey.' AVhen
the would-be avenger run out of wind
from an excess of profanity, we would
recommend: "Lot's have a drink, and
talk this thing over." The rum robbed
them of their wrath, and stulled oft
manslaughter.- Uut the' best way is
to Ignore woman' entirely, when In a
facetious mood. The uprising wus In
the pre-Volsteud era. t '

THE FRIGHTFUL tragedy at Albany, Oregon, ro-lnltiiir in the
dentil of eleven people, lias naturally caused widespread appre
hension regarding the dangers of home canning.
Uotulism, neeording to the state board of health, is a rare disease.
In the last 22 years, there have been only 150 cases reported in the
.United States, vith 111' fatalities. The present outbreak ia Oregon
is the first in the history of the state, and one of the worst ever re
corded. tf$;Srj$.
While rare, there has heeil a marked increase in outbreaks of the
disease in this country in recent years, so in the interest of public
safety, all' information available .should be given to the people.-
Botulism, can be prevented, according to the state board of health,
by exercising the following precautions:
Do not use any canned food which shows the slightest sign
of spoilage; 1
Use no canned food unless it has been processed at high tem
perature, this is especially applicable to sausage, ham, string
beans', corn, asparagus nnd ripe olives, To insure high tem
perature a pressure cooker is necessary.
It is reassuring to learn that in all' modern canneries, cooking is
done under pressure. .
The bacillus botulinus, it seems, grows only when deprivet of air.
The poison is not caused by the germ, but by the toxin the germ
creates. All thnt is necessary for the formation of the poison, in
many kinds of canned food, is that spores of the organism remain
alive Within thri container after it-has been processed. The spores
will resist the temperature of boiling water several hours.
With these facts established it would seem advisable to abandon
home canning, at least as far ns the articles noted above are concern
ed, unless the cooking can be done under pressure.

IVE PAINTED my porches and fences, in colors exceedingly
smart; the work should appeal to the senses of those who ap
preciate art. I painted my porches vermillion, with 'borders of
yellow and blue, and, though an uncultured civilian, I think my
art instincts are true. I painted my fences with ochre; effulgent,
resplendent and chaste, and thought that no raven voiced croaker
could say I was showing poor taste. I said, as I laid down my
brushes, "No Titian could beat me at this; no critics, with slav
ering tushes can sny that Ibis job is amiss." But forth came tho
neighbors from grattos and woodshedsj and hencoops to say,
"Your porches will sen re all the autos that happen to journey
this way. The colors you used are discordant, they're shooing
each other awtlJP;" with strictures disturbing and mordant they
took all the joy from my day. The souls of such neighbors are
tainted with' envy and malice and spleen; their hencoops and
sheds arc unpainted, with mold all their doorknobs nre green.
Their windows nnd whiskers need washing, unkempt arc their
cellar and earn, and so they come drearily joshing the gent who
has painted his ham.

The First and Original Cold and Grip Tablet
Not a few canes of polllnosia (hay
fever) atlll pat n "coUIh," und no
fond are Home folks of UiIh meanlnx
leH8 term that they even dub eertirfn
cases of pollinoHis "roue cold." I
have' mentioned
here . certain cases
of chronic simiftitiH,
particularly infec
tion in the ethmoid
or the Hphennld sfn
usen, which bo close
ly mimic hay fever
as to bo mistaken
for hny fever by the
victim or by the
doctor who employs
second' flight in lieu
of instruments of
precision in diairno-
tilfl. These sinusitis cases which mas
querade ns hay fever betray tyieni
selveM in occasional periods of activity
out pf. season, thut is, at a time of
year when thero is no pollen in the
atmosphere and therefore no possi
bility of hay fever.
There is another gather character
istic and not very rare condition which
sometimes makes a noise llko hay
fever. It is hyperesthetlc rhinitis. It
Is a most interesting condition in
some one else. I suspect, too, that it
may contribute just a dirty little bit
to the absurd notion of "taking cold
from a draft." For one subject to
hyperesthetlc rhinitis can develop his
aliened "cold" in a startllnsly brief
space of time, and you know the
sooner symptoms follow a fancied
"exposure" tho more convincing seems
the evidence.
Attacks of hyeresthotic rhinitis are
characterized by furious sneezing; so
Violent are the paroxysms of sneezing!
that it has been called the machine I
gun sneeze. The victim rips off per
haps 50 sneezes In quick succession,
and1 soon' afterword' he runs at the
nose, a thin watery serous irritating
discharge. Remember, I said this
condition Is sometimes mistaken for
hay fever and that it is false evidence
brought by the deluded adherent of
the "catching cold' BOfthistry. A draft
or wet feet or an insignificant altera
tion of atmospheric temperature or
the amount of kind of clothing worn
will readily incite a paroxysm of hy
peresthetlc rhinitis. Hut the term Is
a' misnomer, for there Is no rhinitis
(Inflammation in the nose) In such
cases. The fact that seizures occur
out of season ns well as in the hay
fever season distinguishes the condi
tion from actual 4ollinosls.
A calcium deficiency in the blood
and other tissues of the body is" prob
ably responsible' for hyperesthetlc'
rhinitis, and for that matter the cal
cium deficiency may account for the
susceptibility of some persons to reg
ular hay fever. Many hay fever suf
ferers have reported alleviation from
taking calcium chloride or calclurn
lactate after each meal thruout the
hay fever season.- Even a small dose
of calcium lactate, five grains, three
times daily, after food, and well di
luted, seems to relieve or diminish
susceptibility to hyperesthetlc rhinitis.
Similar treatment has seemed to di
minish the tendency to seizures in
cases of asthma.' The medicine is
taken thrice daily for about three
weeks, and after that once or twice
a day for a few months.

J tare Brotherly ATfection
We are two brothers, both over1 60.
We can wear the same clothes,- hats,
shoes and' collars and we do share
each ulhtr's belongings. The elder
brother, Horace, when a young man.
contracted syphilis. He has no mark
or blemish now that you could notice.
We both wear false teeth, taking them
out at night and placing them in a
glass of water, to ease the gums: Thru
a mistake we changed teeth, so that
Horace has: mine' and I have his. I
am not wearing . them until I hear
from you. Can I wear them without
danger to my health? (I. Y.)
Answer. Certainly. Just gjvo them
a good washing, as you would a. bath
tub or a clinical thermometer or a
teaspoon brother had used.
Maybe Felt' Something Growling
What do you think of the life build
ing method of- the . ' Health
club. An important part of their
preachments or tenets' is that you
must take only one-food meals, as
they claim two or more foods taken
at one meal are likely to produce an
tagonistic elements thaf generate poi
sons'; (C.-Ht Hi) . -
Answer. Quarrels between meat
and potatoes bread' and milk. Mam
and eggs or crackers and cheese fail
to arouse' iriy enthusiasm. Without
renouncing physiology altogether I
can't believe these foods genemte poi
sons when they happen to meet in
one's bread basket,.
Socks
For two yars I have been "rolling
my own" wearing socks as you
would call them. A doctor claims it
will lead to serious trouble for me
later In life. I am 17 years old. Would
like to know your opinion. (Peggy.)
Answer. So far as hygiene or
health may' be concerned' It Is per
fectly all right to do as you please
about that.
Diphtheria Carrier
I would like to know what a diph
theria carrier is, the symptoms and
characteristics of a carrier. The two
weeks' precaution afterward is there
danger of giving or getting diphtheria
during that time? (Mrs. R. W.)
Answer. -A diphtheria carrier is a
person or sometimes; a domestic ani
mal that carries the diphtheria bacilli
in thw noMt or throat, iho not ill of
diphtheria. I do nut understand your
other question.
