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. The pieces presented by the
king all have the Insignia of the Or
der of the Garter.

LOOK OOT FOR
POISON IN FOOD
Federal Food Officials Warn Con
sumers to Watch for Signs
of Spoilage.
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*

any lot. There l*? no method, the ftffl

that Iho product does not contain .(he

no greater prohahil ifjv^'if botulinus

food products, either commercial or
domestic. TTntll this year it has been

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.
