Bellefonte, Pa., May 3, 1929.
Your Health,
The First Concern.
“The regulations of the State
Health Department call for certain
fundamental sanitary rules in connec-
tion with automobile tourist camps.
And while regular inspections on the
part of official personnel materially
assist in the proper observance of the
regulations, the tourist himself really
holds the key to the situation,” said
Dr. Theodore B. Appel, Secretary of
Health, today.
“Camps in Pennsylvania to comply
with the rules must afford a safe
water supply at all times. The dis-
play of the Department’s safe drink-
ing water sign is the best indication
that this regulation is being observed.
“The grounds must be maintained
in a sanitary condition at all times
and proper disposition of garbage
must be made. This regulation is
easily enforced and will not be disre-
garded by camp operators if tourists
refuse to patronize establishments
that plainly violate this requirement.
And the same may be said for the
public toilet facilities which, under
‘the regulations, must be kept clean
and free from fly breeding possibili-
ties.
“Other factors such as throwing
garbage into a stream or otherwise
polluting it is for the most part a
matter within the province of
the tourist himself, as is also the ex-
tinguishing of fires used for cooking
purposes.
“Outdoor life in the summer season
is one of humanity's greatest boons.
Tourist and picnicking camps add
much to such possibilities. However,
to attain the maximum benefit from
such camps both proprietor and pa-
tron must use care. Insanitary or
unsafe camps can readily backfire in
terms of disease and death.
“Therefore, to the camp owner—
keep it clean and sanitary, scrupulous
ly adhere to all the rules and regula-
tions. To the camp user—patronize
only those camps that can show a
clean bill of health and by your own
care keep them that way.
“And incidentally, but quite as im-
portant, do not throw picnic offal by
the side of the road. Millions of dol-
Jars have been expended to afford
the finest type of highways in Penn-
sylvania, thousands have been spent
to make them safe, but individual in-
terest and care alone will keep them
clean. Cooperate!”
“When one is finished reading the
sun ads he can not but be convinced
that the efficiency of that shining orb
as a healer and maintainer of health
is: beyond expression. And this 1s
one time where the excusable extrav-
agances of the average writer of ad-
vertisements may be taken for the
literal truth. But there are reserva-
tions to be considered. In this con-
nection man-made sunlight must oe
examined carefully.
, “Indoor sunlight produced by lamps
undoubtedly possess therapeutic vir-
tue. However, two facts need to co-
exist before proper results can thus
be obtained. In the first place the
lamp must be able to give forth ul-
tra-violet rays in sufficient quanti-
ties; and secondly, the application of
the rays must be guided by one thor-
oughly experienced in such usage.
“A large number of so-called sun
lamps are actually deficient in fheir
advertised qualities; as a matter of
fact, only a small minority are cap-
#.ble of producing the necessary rays.
Moreover, one who uses an effective
lamp without professional guidance
is likely to inflict more harnf than
good upon himself.
‘Those whose appreciation of the
sun goes beyond the desires for a
sun-lamp and is expressed by a few
miles of brisk walking in the sun-
light, or even moonlight, or no light
at all, will in all probability, not
need the indoor variety. It is at
least worth a try. BL
“If a real need for the indoor lamp
arises, the doctor is the proper per-
son to discover it and guide its ap-
plication.”
- “Tt is quite true
trite that familiarity breeds con-
tempt. However, when ' contempt
takes a toll of 40,000 lives annually
in the United States, when it results
in many tuberculosis infections and
when it causes thousands of infants’
death from diarrhea it is time to con-
sider the wisdom of such an atti-
tude,” said Dr. Theodore B. Appel,
secretary of Health.
“Because it has always been around
and because it does not sting are no
good reasons for tolerating the fly.
Vet one’s familiarity with this pest
is the biggest reason for the general
attitude of indifference exhibited to-
ward it.
“True, much progress has been
made against this disease breeding
insect. Screening the house, and a
sanitary consciousness particularly
in urban sections, as well as swat-
‘the-fly campaigns have done much
to limit the fly's disease and death
dealing power. However, one has
put to step outdoors, even in the cit-
jes, to realize that this general enemy
of mankind is far from being sub-
dued.
«Exposed garbage and filth in geh-
eral represent the most potent fly
Preeding spots. And in this connec-
and equally as
tion it is a shame that, owing to in-
uncomfortable
flies are each year bred to spread
dividual carelessness,
their damage among humans.

JUNIOR CLASS LEADS |
A survey of the grades of the four
for the fifth six weeks’ period, whicn
ended on Monday, April 22, shows
that the juniors continue to hold first
place in scholarship.
The Honor Roll is increased by the |
addition of several seniors and fresh- |
men, but the sophomores are repre- |
sented by only one—Helen Crust.
The grades, in general, show a
slight improvement, owing no doubt |
to the fact that most students realize |
the importance of having a high rec- |
ord to withstand the disasters that |
accompany final examinations.
. The honor roll is as follows: |
Seniors Average |
Warren Wilson.............. 94
Grace Zeigler......... ....94 |
Carolyn Kalin........ 93
Marian Volynch 92
Juniors
Eleanor HOY.....cceeecemeee 96

BABE RUTH ADVISES
EARLY START IN BASEBALL.
If you would have your son a star
ball player, lay the foundation at an
early age—that is Babe Ruth's ad-
vice.
{ «Start the kid young. That's the
only way he can get in the game,” he
says.
: ‘If a boy wants to be a good ball
player, there’s no use waiting until
, lhe is around 16 and 18. The grade
school is the place to start. The
neighborhood gang also offers fine
training.
‘I got my start as a kid. I liked
baseball and I played around home,
in grade school and on the nighbor-
hood lots.’

| WEEDING OF TU. S.
| OFFICIALS IS ON.
| Weeding out of federal officials
| whose records have not been too good
| has been started by the Department
of Justice following Attorney Gener-
' al Mitchell’s announcement that offi-
ces of all United States attorneys will
i be investigated.
The process will not be confined to
the district attorneys but will extend
to United States marshals, commis-
sioners and others who serve appoin-
tive terms in the federal service, it
was learned both in the Justice De-
partment and the White House.
The administration is preparing to
get reports on all officials who will
come up for reappointment. Already
many of these officials are serving be-
yond their appointed time while the
Justice Department is being organiz-
ed.
Names of attorneys, marshals,
postmasters and other appointees for
minor offices did not start coming
out of the White House until the spe-
cial session which began April 15.
The Postoffice Department already
issued stringent instructions as to
how appointments will be made under
the new Hoover patronage program.
The same instructions will be applied
by the Justice Department, it is said,
except that applicants do not have to
qualify under Civil Service for many
of the positions.

dents; in fact, last week was the first
