HISTORIC BERMUDAN CHURCH St. Peter's Has Many Mementoes of Interest to Both Englishmen and Americans. One of the most interesting churches to he found anywhere is old 'St. Peter's in Bermuda. It Is in the told town of S(. Georgels, and was built In 171ft on the snme site as the first church, huilt In. HMO. It is built of the native white limestone, as are all the buildings in the Bermudas, and it shows the marks of time. Kverythiu'g In and about St. l'eter's is intensely interesting. Its church yard contains, among others, the grave of Hester Tucker, the "Nea" be loved of Thomas Moore, the poet, who was an official at Sf. George's at one time, and promptly fell In love with pretty Hester. Every square Inch of the old church walls. Inside, are cov ered with memorial tablets, many of them being the work of famous Kng . lisli sculptors. Not u few of the tab lets perpetuate the memory of mem bers of the lOnglish nobility, and it makes,one realize what a scourge yel low fever and smallpox were before science got In Its beneficent work, for allusions to smallpox and yellow fever being (lie cause of the deaths are very numerous. St. Peter's lias a massive silver communion service presented by King William III of Knglnnd, and ? christening basin, the jrlft of Gov. William Browne of Salem. Mass., in 17SK.

RIPE OLIVES KILL SEVERAL Botulinum Poison Responsible for Fa. Ulities?-No Method of Preserving Food Found That Eliminates Occasional Spoiled PackaQe. Washington,?ltnt uliuus poisoning, which I^C90tt,V klllotl six in one fam ily In New Yui'lc. is cuused by eat ing |kiiI<? 11 fund infected with the ba cillus botulinus, sjiy tho officials' of I lie bureau of chemistry, United States department of agriculture, who have investigated this and other poisoning eases in connection with the enforce ment of tlie food and drug" act. In the New York case death was caused h.v bolulii)us polso^ In lipo olives. Tlie olives remaining In the bottle In this case had an offensive odor. Tho same condition was found In tho food !fi other cases Investigated by the de partment. All spoiled food does not coiituln this poison, but nny spoiled food," even though the spoilage be slight, may contain It, and for this reason, say the officials, all food show ing ifven the slightest unnatural odor* unnatural color, swelling of the con tainer, sign of gas, or any evidence of decomposition whatever, should be dlsca rded, Trace Poisonous Food. The department of agriculture has used every possible effort and gone tQ the limit of its legal authority to re move' all dangerous foods from the market by seizure under the food and drugs act, say the officials. Kach time when botulinus poisoning has occurred j food* inspectors have, traced through the channels of commerce f he batch from which the poisonous food came and have used nil pleasures under the law to remove it from tlie market. Samples from all other brands put out by the paclrsr have been examined. Since the law authorizes seizure in such cases only when (lie 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 slpc? It Is physically possible to open and examine but a comparatively few of the millions of cans entering Interstate commerce, it Is beyond (he power of the authorities to protect the public completely. For this rea son they emphasize the necessity for scrupulous care ot^ the part of per sons opening and serving foods to dis card anything which Is:-spoiled. In products not obviously spoiled. If there Is doubt in the recognition of the odor, propev to the product, thorough cook ing Will remow the possibility of dan ger from botulism. If spoilage is ap parent, destruction is recommended by the specialists. I Mystery About It. Nobody knows Just how the baril* bis; botulinus gels into any particu lar foo<l. It has boon found In arti cles put up in iho homo by tlio care fiiI housewife and in goods packed in commercial establishments. It may bo present in a few packages only of any lot. There l*? no method, the ftffl riaIsay. by which the1 packers or home oanners can assure themselves ity casual examination before canning that Iho product does not contain .(he bacillus botultnus. If the food was in all eases proper ly sterilized and perfectly sealed, the.) development of the poison would bo Impossible, but no method of preserv ing food has vet been found, ihe specialists say. that eliminates Ihe oc casional spoiled package. Failure 10 sterilize may not become apparent for weeks, or oven months lifter the can nine of the article. If siyus of spoil age have appeared when Ihe can is opened, ii is clear warning that the product is no longer edible. There is no greater prohahil ifjv^'if botulinus poisoning in olives ilian in many other food products, either commercial or domestic. TTntll this year it has been more commonly found in string beans, asparagus. and the like. It was original ly found in sausage. If has been found in cheese: it is presort sometimes In stock food, such as moldy bay and other kinds of spoiled forage, but it has never been found in the depart ment investigations in any kind of food that wa-s?net-spoiled^ NOTED FACTORY OPENS SOON Famous Chauny (France) Mirror Plant Prepares to Operate Again. t'hauny.

C Be Sure to Mention The Chronicle When Trading With Advertisers CHALMERS A car for those ivho have an eye for beauty and an ear for rhythm for little details that compel your attention. The new coach is low in "appearance, and therein lies the secret of its beauty. You can sit in the car and feel yourself at rare ease. Start the engine, turn loose the power stream, accelerate it, play with it as you will, you cannot help but detect a smoothness, a perfect rhythm TO stand and look at a new Chalmers is to admire it. For it has a grace of line, an elegance of finish, a care th;it is pleasing to the ear. There are no engine throbs, no vibration, no apparent effort. Hot Spot and RamVhorn Quality Firil prevent thcjri. Those two products of master intellects refine the gasoline, "digest" it, "break up the lumps," and make-it easy for that magnifi' cent engine to supply, that rhythm of power which so quickly denotes a Chalmers. Drive this car once, and you, too, will say Chalmers is one of the few great cars of the world. George T. Little Camden, S. C,
