I eh. 11. <1 ailed Press) Eating a hard boiled egg I when angry, produces the same etfect us eating a toadstool, according to j Dr. illlbin Ira Jones, noted chemist and psychologist. ' "The poison in toadstools is a ch< mic al subsume called muscarine," Dr. Jones said The greater imrt ot an egg is composed of colin. a harmless substance. “When a person is angered, the acidity of the stomach is increased, oxidizing the colin. When oxidized, the colin of the egg becomes muscarine, the poison in toadstools. That is why jthe effect is the same.” Ministers And Families To Hold Social Meeting The members of the Decatur Ministerial Association and their families will meet for their monthly social and fellowship gathering at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Somerville Light, next Tuesday evening.
