In addition to providing accurate Information regarding health, recre-1 atlon, delinquency and other social problems In the city, this survey will be a splendid cheek, on the census. There Is considerable feeling that the recent U. S. census will not sbqw a true return on the population of the city. The survey will show to a largo extent whether or not the census was accurately taken. m F STRIKE CENTER THE HAGUE ,Mar. 25.

A local milling company has con tracted to ship 2,500,000 pounds ot clean rice from the Louisiana fields to Piraeus, the port of Athens, Greece, it is learned here. The deal made through a London, importing firm, involves about $300,000'. It also was learned that 3,000,000 pounds of Texas-Louisiana rice, val ued at about $425,000, recently was sold to firms in Constantinople and that the rice is now on tho high seas. Rice from California, it is stated, is to be shipped to Lake Charles by the Pacific Rice Growers' Association for distribution, 20,000,000 pounds already having been arranged for. The shipment -will comprise 100,000 bags of rough rice nnd railroad men say between 400 nnd 500 cars will bo required for its transportation from the Pacific coast.

C, arrived In Klam- ath Falls last night to Investigate the- I - . . .. .,.. ..... recent case or. supposea doiuium Mrs. Swan Johnson, 193 "" -" First street,' of . thirteen laying bens. Mrs. Johnson fed' the hens a Jar of home canned beans, of which she had become suspicious after opening, sev eral weeks ago, and the next moralng all of ber flock, except a few setters who had not participated in the feed, were dead. None of the family tasted thS beans. t Dr. Gelger has been Investigating; olive orchards and packing plants la California, seeking to trace the source from which the olives came that are alleged to have caused a number of human deaths from botulltts In the The theory Is that the hog Is the carrier of the bacteria, for In olive or apricot orchards or vegetable gardens, to which, the infected foo'd has been. traced, hogs have been found to have foraged. The hog possesses high re; sl'stance to the disease, as has been proved by experiments in inoculation. while Inoculation in other animals is KTICA1C BOTOLITISGASE ulations show but a small percentage . . ... . .. .. - .. sausage. ,-Dr. Gelger has n'ct proved hh thft- ory, even to his own satisfaction, but his investigations of the latest qut- break have all pointed in a direction 'that leads him to believe that be is on the right track and he Is earnestly seeking to establish his conclusions as facts. I Sterilization makes all canned food safe. Any cne who is nervous ra garding botulltls possibilities need not quit indulging In canned apricots, beans, asparagus or other vegetable or fruit. Two minutes' boiling in a sauce-pan will render the food per- 'establish regulations that will mako. their prdouct entirely safe. Sterile lzation methods in the past have been lax, he says, canners maintaining that the olive would not stand high tem perature. It has been found, how ever, that this is not true and that olives come out solid from a bath at 240 degrees tahrenhelt. So he be lieves that future sterilization regn latlons will -remove all danger of botulism. So far, the expert admits, the gov ernment investigators are absolutely, battled in providing a remedy. Serum treatment is a failure Insofar that ns certain results have been obtained. Medical treatment has had more suc cess, tor taken In time, before the body has absorbed all the toxin from, the food, cathartics and emetics that quickly eliminate the contents of the stomach are etfective, and the recov ery of the patient often follows. The , percentage of mortality from botu lltls, In cases so far recorded, is 75 per cent. Besides the case of the Johnson hens, Dr. Gelger believes there have been other cases here, and will re main for several days gathering data. QUIET TITLE SUIT E. W.
