DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2 3, 1920.

CAUSE IS GIVEN Government Bulletin Says Botulinus Poisoning is Caused From SPOILAGE IN FOODS .Case in New York—lt has Been Found in Cheese and Stock Food The Department of Agriculture at Washington has sent out the follow- . ing bulletin on botulinus poisoning which will be of a great deal of interest to Decatur people and connnunI ity. The bulletin says: "Botulinus poisoning which recent'ly killed six in one family in New York is caused by eating spoiled food infected with the bacillus botulinus, say the officials of the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, who have investigated this and other poisoning cases in connection with the enforcement. of the Food and Drug Act. In the New York case death was caused by botulinus poison in ripe olives. The olives remaining in the bottle in this case had an offensive odor. Tlie same condition was found in the food in other cases investigated by the department. All spoiled food does not contain this poison, but any spoiled food even though the spoilage be slight may contain it, and for this reason, the officials, all food showing even the slightest unnatural odor, unnatural color, swelling of the container, signs of gas, or any evidence of decomposition whatever, should be discarded. The Department of Agriculture has used every possible effort and gone to the limit of its legal authority to remove all dangerous foods from the market hy seizure under the Food ami Drugs Act, say the officials. Each time when botulinus poisoning has occurred food inspectors have traced through the channels of commerce the batch from which the poisonous food .came and have used all measures under the Jaw to remove it from the market. Samples from all other brands put out by the packer have been examined. Since the law authorizes seizure in such cases only when the foods are actually found to be decomposed or to contain poisonous ingredients, since only an occasional package in millions is infected with bacillus botulinus, and since it is physically possible to open and examine but a comparatively few of the millions of cans entering interstate commerce, it is beyond the power of the authorities to protect the public completely. For this season they emphasize the necessity for scrupulous care on the part of persons opening and serving foods to discard anything which is spoiled. In products not obviously spoiled, if there is doubt in the recognition of the odor proper to the product, thorough cooking will remove the possibility of danger from botulism. If spoilage is apparent, destruction is recommended by the specialists. Nobody knows just how the bacillus botulinus gets into any particular food. It has been found in articles put up in the home by the careI ful housewife and in goods packed in I commercial establishments. It may be present in a few packages only of any lot. There is no method, the officials say, by which the packers or home camiers can assure themselves by casual examination before canning that the product does not contain the bacillus botulinus. If the food were in all cases properly sterilized and perfectly sealed the development of the poison would bo impossible, but no method of preserving food has yet been found, the specialists say. th.it eliminates the occasional spoiled package. Failure to sterilize may not become apparent for weeks or even months after the i canning of the article. If signs of * spoilage have appeared when the can is opened, it is clear warning that the product is no longer edible. There is no greater probability of botulinus poisinhig in olives than in many other food products cither commercial or domestic, it was originally found in sausage. It has been found in cheese; it is present sometimes in stock food, such as moldy hay and other kinds of spoiled forage, but it has never been found in the department investigations in any kind of food that was not spoiled.” CUT THIS OUT—IT IS WORTH MONEY DON'T MISS THIS.

IN BASKET BALL - <- ( Statistics Show Indiana has Strongest Basket Ball Teams This Year IN STATE’S HISTORY Both Independent and College Teams are Making Some Good Records (United Press Service) (By Hexe Clark) Indianapolis, Jan. 23. —(Special to Daily Democrat) —It would appear that the famous Em-Rose basketball team which has long held the independent championship of Indiana is slipping. This is not true. Al Fenney, the old Notre Dame star is as good a guard as ever. Berndt is just as fast. ' Smith still is a wonderful center and Kline and Schoeneman are still clever goal shots. De Pauw beat the Em-Rose eleven ixiints and Purdue also beat Feeney's team. Purdue in turn dropped a game by a 27-22 score to the Knights' of Columbus team at Ft. Wayne. That victory makes the K. of quintet loom up as a contender for the independent championship with even a stronger claim than the EmRoes. A glance at the basketball situation leads to the conclusion that in Indiana this year there are some of th.' strongest balsketball teams in the history of the sport. Two college teams attracting et-i tention in Indiana now arc DePauw and Wabash. Wabash always has had strong basketball teams. This year appears to be no exception to the rule. A victory over Purdue gave Wabash a' high ranking among the college teams. Earlham at first looked a contender until it met defeat in the Rose Polly, game at Richmond. Critics in this part of the state are saying “Look out for DePauw.” It would appear that the college teams this year may be grouped into three classes —subject to change at any time. In the first class would be i DePauw. Wabash. Purdue and Indiana. In the second would be Rose Poly. Earlham, Franklin and Notre Dame and Valparaiso. In the third would be Indiana state normal. Indiana Dental. Biitler, Hanover and St. Joseph college. These groups are named on j the showing of the teams so far this season. While there may be a lot of supporters of the various independent basketball teams who may not agree with the writer still two qu tets seem to lead all other independent teams in Indiana are the Indianapolis EmRoes and the Ft. Wayne K. C. team-. The fans would like to see those teams meet. While the district tournaments of ' the high schools of the state are. many weeks distant. A. L. Trester, secretary of the Indiana High school ' Athletic association, lias been busy in arranging for officials to handle the games at the various centers. There is one thing that Mr. Trester always ■ has been careful of, and that is to obtain the services of outside men who are fast in covering the floor and know how to officiate a basketball game. That has caused the tournaments to always be a success. DANCE AT PREBLE Dance at Freitag's hall at Preble, | Saturday night. Jan. 24 . 19-3 t
