In these days when typhoid fever is prevalent there is a certain amount of confusion in the communities affected as to how milk is contaminated by the typhoid fever germ. There is often the impression that milk as it comes from the animal contains the living typhoid organism. Col. J. Bruce McCreary, of the Di- vision of Contagious Diseases, State Health Department, says this is not SO. “Typhoid fever ic always of human origin,” he continued. “Cows do not get it and the milk as it comes from the cow does not contain the germ. Milk is always infected during or sub- sequent to the process of milking; often from washing the cans and dai- ry utensils in the polluted water of a well or spring. Infection may also come from the hands of the milker or handler of milk in the dairy.” “The word bacteria does not mean much to the average person,” contin- ued Col. McCreary.” “It has been used so much by the public and press that many persons when reading bac- teriological reports of milk or water think ‘what’s a few bacteria? We're full of them anyway.’ ” “Bacteria is the family name of a large group, of which colon bacilli— which do mean something—is a mem- ber. Colon bacilli have their origin in the intestines of animals or human be- ings and when present in water, milk or other food, shows contamination by animal or human excrement. Typhoid fever germs and colon bacilli are in- seperable companions and the pres- ence of the latter always justifies the assumption that the former are pres- Be Unfortunately, it- is impossible o distinguish readily between the co- lon bacilli of animals and of the hu- man body.” “The presence of colon bacilli is a menace at any time because some per- sons after having typhoid fever be- come permanent carriers of the dis- ease. Where there is the slightset suspicion of sewerage contamination the only safe course is to boil the wa- ter, keeping in mind that such contam- ination always means colon bacilli and its companion, the deadly typhoid germ.” IN THE WORLD OF INDUSTRY. Chicago claims to be the greatest railroad centre in the world. Illinois produced more than 12,000,- 000 barrels of petroleum last year. Seven international labor unions have their headquarters in Cincinnati. All the rosin made in the United States is produced in the eight south- eastern States. The Japanese mercantile marine now ranks third among the commer- cial fleets of the world. The American Livestock Association held its midyear meeting in Salt Lake City, August 26-27. New Zealand reports that financial depression hangs heavily over the country and thousands are unemploy- e - . About one-third of all the coal min- ed in the United States is required to keep the country’s 65,000 locomotives going. The greater part of the scrap leather from the New England shoe factories is shipped to the South, where it is used for fertilizer. Coal is now being shipped from the United States to such markets as Aden, Uruguay, Ceylon, Egypt, India, Argentina; Mauritius; and Zanzibar. The present cost of German labor in the metal working trades is stated to be about one-sixth of the cost of equivalent labor in the United States. California claims to be the greatest hop-producing State of the Union in point of tonnage, and the greatest in the world in average harvest per acre and modern methods of culture. The marufacture of wood pulp is a growing industry in Japan. She now has thirty wood pulp mills and produc- es annually more than 280,000 tons of chemical and mechanical pulp. Defective Vision in Children. Last year 141,000 cases of defective vision among the school children of New York State were reported, ac- cording to Dr. William A. Howe, of the State Education Department. A large percentage of the defects of vis- ion are errors of refraction traced di- rectly to poor lighting conditions, he says. Quantity of light is one of the most difficult problems of school light- ing. While offices and factories are employing increasingly high intensi- ties of illumination, schools can be found with very low illumination. The subject has added importance by rea- son of the fact that night schools are conducted in a number of school build- ings. Two thousand rooms in the schools of New York city alone are used for that purpose. game may be shipped by express or freight either cut up or otherwise, HELP TO EXTERMINATE THE POISON IVY. $ Every year much suffering is caus- ed by the poison ivy. It is a plant which propagates rapidly by seed, root and layering, but the beauty of its glossy foliage, which turns a glow- ing scarlet in the autumn, seems to be its only recommendation. Those who are immune to its influence hardly re- alize the havoc it causes to less fortu- nate mortals. It is generally believ- ed that personal contact is necessary to produce the irritation, but is has been proved that the poison can be: transferred indirectly from the cloth- ing, gloves, towels or implements used by another after contact with the plant. While with some persons the poison subsides in a few days, pro- ducing comparatively slight discom- fort, with others it may be followed by eczema or secondary infections of the skin, acute swellings and other complications which prolong the suf- fering to a marked degree. The tox- ic properties of poison ivy are believ- ed to be contained in a nonvolatile oil which is found in all its parts, even after it has long been dry. The oil, though nonsoluble in water, is made soapy by alkalies and can be removed | by alcohol. After exposure, thorough and repeated washing with warm wa- : ter and a strongly alkaline soap is recommended. What is the best way to eradicate this dangerous and irritating plant? In the case of large open tracts the simplest method is to uproot, then : plow thoroughly. In bad cases this should be repeated for at least two years, because each little rootlet left in the ground means a flourishing vine before the season is over. As the sap and pollen are the accredited cause of the irritation, the safest time to do this work is in the autumn or early winter, when the flowering season is over and the sap has ceased to flow. The best results, however, are obtain- ed in August because it is a greater shock to the plant to be disturbed when in full flower and leaf, and its roots have then less recuperative power. The Massachusetts Board of Agri- culture has made experiments with various poisons to be.applied to the plant, and arsenate of soda, largely used in commercial weed killers is recommended by ‘them for this. pur- ‘pose. There is, however, great risk in his method to those who might ecare- lessly handle the poison and to cattle that might eat the foliage of the doc- tored plant, and when the poison is applied to a vine growing on a young tree the latter may suffer instead. In the case of very large vines, about six inches or more in diameter, denoting correspondingly deep and far-reaching roots, the application of kerosene or crude oil in the following manner has proven effectual: While the sap is flowing the vine is cut a lit- tle above the ground and a hole sev- eral inches in depth is bored in the trunk with an auger. Into this open- ing the kerosene or oil is poured, re- filling it as the sap carries it to the roots. In this way the oil reaches the furthest; rootlet, and it is an i en- sive as well as an effectual method of extermination. of salt applied in the same manner, but this does not flow so readily with the sap. Whichever method of exter- mination is followed much rubbish and debris accumulate, and the simplest method of disposal is to burn it. The greatest precaution is then necessary, as the smoke is a great irritant to the skin, and in some instances causes serious injury to eyes, nose and throat | when the poison is thus conveyed to these tender parts. The old herbalists found no “virtue” in this plant, which was brought to their attention in 1640, and they well understood the suffer- ing it could inflict. It seems strange, therefore, that they should desire, even for their “curious gardens,” so dangerous though beautiful a plant. We ought all make an effort to ex- terminate this noxious plant, so wide- ly distributed and so steadily increas- ing. Let each one do his share and see that his own ground at least, har- bors not a single vine. Let him urge his friends to do likewise; secure the interest of school teachers, that ‘the ldren may be taught to recognize and to avoid it. Get the garden clubs and agricultural associations to unite in denouncing it. WHY THE TEETH CHATTER. Jaw Muscles Contract Spasmodically Independently of Will. The little muscles which close the jaw are acted upon by the cold in such a way that they pull the jaw up and let it fall by its own weight, says the Popular Science Monthly. This, re- peated many times, causes the teeth to click together, and produces what is called “chattering.” You think of it in connection with your teeth because it is the teeth which makes the sound, but the cause lies in the muscles used in chewing or in opening your mouth when you speak, The chattering occurs in spite of the will or brain. You have little control over it, and can stop it only by clinching the teeth. It is really a mild variety of spasm caused by the cold, which acts on the jaw muscles in much the same way that some poisons produce muscular spasms which cannot be controlled. Vacation Is Over. Again the school bell rings at morning and at noon; again with tens of thousands the hardest kind of work has begun, the renewal of which is a mental and physical strain to all except the most rugged. The little girl who a short time ago had roses in her cheeks, and the little boy whose lips were then go red you would have insisted that they had been “kissed by strawberries,” have already lost some- thing of the appearance of health. Now is the time when many children should be given a tonic, which may pre- vent much serious trouble. highly to be recommended as Hopd’s Sar- saparilla, which strengthens the nerves, perfects ‘digestion and assimilation. It aids mental development by building up the whole system. ' Equally good as a medicinal preparation are Hood’s Pills, which are so well adapt- ed for both children and adults. In small doses they are a gentle laxative, in larger doses an active cathartic. 66-35 Some advise the use: No other is so | TRAINING SEASON FOR DOGS, WEARING COLLARS, ETC. As a matter of information to dog owners, special attention is called to the present status of the law permit- , ting the training of dogs, as follows: Under the latest amendment to Sec- ' tion 26 of the Game Law, dogs may i be trained upon any of the living wild i game or birds, excepting elk and (deer and fawns and wild turkeys, when accompanied by and under con- trol of their masters from the 1st day of September to the 1st day of March next following, Sundays excepted, so long .as no firearms usually raised at arm’s length and fired from the shoul- der are carried and no injury is in- flicted upon said animals or birds. Another feature of the same section imposes a penalty of $10.00 for every day dogs are permitted to chase game during the closed season and $5.00 for each game bird or rabbit killed without notice of any sort to owners to restrain dogs. Many dog owners have been under the impression that after September 1st they can turn their dogs loose and permit them to chase at will because the training sea- son is on. This is absolutely prohibit- ed, and dogs cannot legally be per- mitted to run at large and chase game at will even during the train- ing season. We wish also to call attention to the fact that dogs should at all times wear a collar to which is attached a metallic tag or plate on which the name and address of the owner is giv- en in plain English; otherwise the dog may be killed without any notice if found chasing game during the close | season for such bird or animal. Un- der the Dog License Law of the State, it is necessary to have the license tag attached to the collar of the dog at all times as proper protection under that law. The practice of removing col- lars from dogs while exercising or training or while using them during the open season for hunting may cause the loss of valuable dogs with- out redress in law, and owners are cautioned to keep collars on their dogs at all times, whether training or hunt- ing. ——1In every human life there are some drops of bitterness; life would not be life if this were not so.
