MAIN STREET McCORMICK, S. C. Reports that trichinosis has caused the death of three persons and illness of 30 other residents of Reading, Pa., recently has led the United States Department of Ag riculture to renew its warnings against eating raw pork. In Read ing the disease was the conse quence of eating ravr-pork sausage. Trichinosis is produced by a minute, parasitic worm that infests the meat of swine without notice ably injuring the animals. This minute worm is taken into the human body by eating raw or un dercooked fresh pork. In the hu man body these worms, or trich inae, produce a disease known as trichinosis, which somewhat re sembles typhoid fever. Trichinosis anc * ^ tablespoons of vinegar is a painful and dangerous disease *° each pint. Seal and keep two no signals to watch, or telegrams to read. All the crews ha?l to do was to keep on time (and on the track if possible) and to fol low a few rules which appeared in the time table over the signature of General Superintendent John H. Moore. “The Lives of Passengers and the Property of the Company be ing in charge of the conductors and engineers of the trains, they are admonished of their high ob ligations,” read the first paragraph of the rules. In the next engineers were told “The company will not pay for stock killed by locomotive,” and were urged to be alert to avert such tragedies and to make prop er reports when they did occur. Some of the rules are quite similar to those in effect today. Others make quaint reading when considered in the light of present- day practices, among them the following: At meeting places thg passenger train on time will wait for the oth er thirty minutes, then proceed and continue to run a half hour- behind schedule time until the train is met. Five minutes to be allowed for possible differences in watches. t In case both passenger trains are behind time at meeting places, after waiting 30 minutes, the down train will have the right of way. When passenger train is behind time at meeting point, freight train will not proceed until pas senger train arrives or is heard from. Freight trains at meeting places will not wait on each other, but the train on time will have the right of road. * A white flag denotes caution and trains must proceed slowly un til flag is passed. r*v A red flag by day or/red light by night, on the front of an en gine denotes that a train is fol lowing that has the same right to the track as the train carrying the flag. — A white flag by day or white light by night on the front of an engine denotes that an , irregular train is following that will keep out of the way of all regular trains. Engines will in all cases leave promptly when bell is rung by conductor of passenger train. In case of doubt as to time, etc.. the conductor will consult the en gineer and take the side of safety. X v Spiced cherries, preserved with vinegar, make a good relish. Here’s a recipe: Wash and pit large, sour, red cherries. Add three- fourths of their weight or measure of sugar. Sprinkle the sugar over the fruit in layers and let them i stand overnight. In the morning stir until the sugar is dissolved and i then press the juice well from the cherries. Tie a small quantity of whole spices in a loose cheesecloth bag, drop this into the juice, and boil it down until it is three- fourths of the original quantity.
