Laymen should note that the report says “encouraging,” not that a cure has been found,. _ ~ If a serum has been discovered which will ameliorate the severity of measles, much léss cure the disease, ~another boon; has been conferred on mankind by science, the Philadelphia Evening Bul’}e;in announces. Even to ‘this day measles is regarded by too many parents as an ailment inseparable from childhood and the sooner a youngster contracts the illness and gets it over and done with the better. This {8 altogether' a wrong idea. Measles is not only dangerous in itself but is often complicated by. serious allments of the eyes, ears, kidneys and bronchial regions.: b ; A disease of childhood, measles, also attacks adults and in the late years may be more perilous than to a young person. When frequently epidemic, a certain immunity follows, but when the disease is taken among a people 4ho have never before been visited by it the mortality is high. Years ago & British ship from Australia carried measles to the Fiji islands and 40,000 of the 150,000 Fijians were swept off.

POISON IN ORDINARY FOODS

Fact That Most People Take a Small Amount With Their Regulation ' Breakfast Dishes. Did you have your morning dose of poison today? : “Poison?”’ you ask. “What do you mean?”’ ‘ Well, the truth is, that if you had bacon for breakfast, salt on your cereal, bloaters or kippers, rolls covered with icing, pepper on any of your food, or even a cup of coffee or tea, -you had your morning dose of poison. 4 o ’ f ' Poison, of course, does not harm us if taken in sufficiently small amounts. Bacon contains -a little saltpeter, an ounce being considered. sufficient to kill. ¢ 3 ol The Chinese commit suicide by eating a cupful of salt; bloaters and kippers contain formaldehyde; most cake or roll icings have prussic aeid in them; cloves, nutmegs, horseradish, and a number of other herbs are polsonous if taken in large enough quantities. black pepper contains piperine —an alkalold poison; and doctors agree th?(:‘bverindulgence in coffee 1s most injurious because of its caffein content.—Popular Science Monthly.

Copper on the Leviathan,

-From the tiniest brass serews to the 16%4-foot bronze propellers, the copper and brass industries have played a most important part in the recondi-. tioning of the Leviathan, the world’s largest ship. More than 25 mlles of copper tubing, 250,000 pounds of ft, were required for the heater coils in the staterooms. The heating coils exceed by 50,000 pounds the weight of the 200,000-pound statue of liberty. The lighting system required 745,000 feet of coppér wire. All salt water lines are copper, according to Skillings® Mining Review. In the condensing system, 20,346 pounds of admiralty brass tubing were used. Where German engineers had used iron in the lubricating system, copper was introduced. i i " .
