Sheriff's inquiry at Dingwall into the CANADIAN POTATOES cause of death, attributed the tragedy to botulism. The poison was contained in the meat paste sandwiches consumed,...

Mr. C. Sandeman, K.C., representing the well-known firm of Lazenby, whose paste was used, avid analysis showed that) the poison was confined to a pot of wild duck paste.

Professor Munro said botulism was found in preserved vegetables and fruit besides meat.

The jury returned a verdict that the deaths were due to eating wild duck pasto i containing the bacillus botulinas, but they found no fault with anybody and there was no negligence. They added a rider that they recommended that all preserved. foods should hear a distinctive mark b which the derails of their hauufacture would be traceable.

The future of the universe do pended on the question of whether or not eternal life, which was the true religious part of education, would be able to pre- vail over, the eternal automatic part. The question. Is Christianity the final religion?" was an error. There was no final religion, because there were religions.
