DEATH FROM PTOMAINE POISCNING, ‘The death, of a little east side girl, Emma Hein, from promaine pcisoning is the first of a series of like fa- talities whic will extend through the summer and which fm the nature of things will om “nost frequent in localities where food is cheapest. In rare instances a Seidl dies from similar causes, But it is not the purchaser of expensive viands whom these insidious and deadly enemies attack. They find their victims in the little buyers, like Emma, of a cent's ‘worth of ice-cream, or in the housewife whose enforced economies compel her to choose fish or vegetables or butcher's meat which has become stale. Ptomaines come into belng when putrefaction begins in animal or Vegetable tissues of any kind; they increase with ‘its increase and multiply into millions of tiny virulent parasites, deadly as mineral poisons. They are naturally more active in warm weather. which favors the decom- gosition of animal and vegetable matter, And also natu- rally more likely to exist in food the further it is re- moved from cold-storage safety. It {s almost’unnecessary to call the attention of a Health Commissioner whose capability has been so fre- quently demonstrated to the need of an unusually strict supervision and examination this summer of the food Products exposed for sale by the small huckster and Push-cart man. This supervision could profitably be ex- tended to such details as the cleanliness of cans in which milk is carried for sale In the streets, the hokey- Pokey man’s ice-cream freezer, and the unwashed glasses from which lemonade is drunk The Health Department destroys every year a large quantity of tainted food, the loss of which entails hard- ship only on those deserving {t as the penalty of their Objectionable form of merchandising.

A man who had amassed so many millions in the pro- | motion and combination and amalgamation of steel com- panies that he earned and was given the title of “steel king” decided to‘devote a few hundred thousand out of his abundant wealth to the erection of a church . God had been good to him, he had waxed prosperous end the gift of a house of worship might fitly serve as a pious deed of acknowledgment and appreciation of the rounty bestowed. So the Gary Memorial Methodist Church of Wheaton, T., was erected, Judge Gary paying all the bills. It was a creditable piece of ecclesiastical architecture, bear- nt . ing testimony alike to the plety of the founder and the * skill of the architect. It pleased the Judge to attend divine worship there. Is it not conducive to self-satis- faction to hear the Word from your own personally en- dowed minister as you sit in your cushioned pew in the church you have erected to the glory of God? But one day a preacher came {nto the pulpit who was/| tactlessly unmindful of the proprieties of the occasicy ‘and heedless of the “steel king’s” presence. He spoke in open denunciation of trusts as unchristian and st!g- *, M™matized the sources of the great man’s wealth as un- 5 » wholesome; perhaps ‘he used Bishop Burgess’s word, “tainted.” ‘gy * Americanism. i) And the “steel king,” rudely awakened from his devo- tional dream, has renounced his church and left it for ever. All fair-minded people must agree that the Whea- ton congregation has given an example of ingratitude by comparison with which that of the rejection of a Car- ¥ megie library by an unwilling city is mild in the extreme WORRY THAT KILLED, It is sald of the young bank vice-president who killed} himself that “he was a worrying He had come up from the lowest place in a bank's service to one of the highest and had just stepped from on2 position of trust to a most enviable post of honor with another financial institution of high character. At forty-one he ‘was 4 man to be admired for what he tad accomplished and congratulated on his future. But in a moment of rash depression he ended it all instantly with a revolver, It takes a good deal of worry to get along in the world. The “don’t worry" clubs have few bank or dents or business men of large calibre in their member- ship. When Dean was rising from runner to clerk, from clerk to toller, he was worrying, and his worry was making him all the more valuable an employee. But when the habit grew to the point where it meant Sun- day trips to the bank to see that everything was right it became. a disease. Then came dyspepsia and in Its train melancholia, which was the preliminary to the in- sane impulse of self-destruction. Fortunate is the man who strikes an even balance be- tween carelessness and indifference and the extreme aver-carefulnees. Worry is a good servant, but a bad waster. f ee ee aa THE HEPPNER HEROES. The floods and cloudbursts develop the customary crop of heroes—the old man who swims the torrent to rescue lives, the horseman who rides ahead of the deluge to warn the endangered pcople, the telegrapher who stays at his key, faithful unto death. What a pity that we are as forgetful of their names as of the names of fire heroes! Who was the Paul Re- vere of ihe Johnstown dam disaster? Who was this Oregon Paul Revere, his name printed yesterday, forgot- ten to-day? What is the name of the Heppner telegraph operator?
