THE FIRST CONCERN.
(Continued from last week.)
As with syphilis, the treatment of
gonorrhea necessitates perseverance
both on the part of the patient and
of the physician in order to bring
about its eradication. With gonor-
rhea the stage of infectiousness con-
tinues for a long period of time. On
account of the nature of the organ-
ism, its location, its power to resist
chemicals and its ability to burrow
into secluded tissue, this germ can-
not be successfully attacked except
by means of treatment applied to
the parts themselves. This is a
tedious and difficut process requiring
considerable skill and knowledge.
On the other hand, syphilis is sub-
dued by means of drugs applied di-
rectly to the blood stream which in
turn carries them to all parts of the
body. In the majority of patients
the destruction of all spirochetes 18
possible provided proper treatment
is instituted in the earliest stage of
the disease. Unfortunately, this
action cannot take place in those
patients where the spirochetes have
gained entrance to parts which the
blood stream does not liberally bathe.
Here, as a rule, the disease contin.
© ues its work of destruction in spite
of every means known to medicine
to prevent it. Fortunately, these
comprise a small part of the total
number who contract the disease.
For a number of years sanitarians
had discussed among themselves the
subjects of syphilis and gonorrhea
with the attempt to control them or,
at least, to minimize their incidence.
It seemed like a hopeless task.
Other diseases were freely discussed
in meetings open to the public.
Gonorrhea and syphilis were talked
about only in scientific gatherings
by persons who on account of their
occupations, were directly concerned
with them. In spite of the intimate
relationship existing between phy-
sician and patient, it was oft’ times
with reticence that these diseases
were mentioned. For generations
syphilis was looked upon as an in.
curable disease. The physician, there-
fore, spoke of it reluctantly and then
only after he had carefully consider-
ed the type of patient with special
reference to the mental shock which
might be produced. With the advent
of salvarsan, the picture changed.
The entire world knew that there
was a remedy at hand which, prop-
erly applied, afforded 2a hope of
cure. Psychologically, apart from
other considerations, this has had
a tremendous effect in breaking
down the barriers against this dis-
ease. The person afflicted now should
know that his case is not hopeless;
he should know that the cure rests
entirely in his own hands.
with the knowledge obtained in
the World War to the effect that a
surprisingly large percentage of sol-
diers and sailors were suffering with
one or both of these diseases, sani-
tarians set on foot a movement to re-
lieve the situation, The nation was
demanding the service of healthy
men as it had never done before. A
soldier sick with gonorrhea or syph-
ilis, although perhaps not in a ser-
jous condition, could not properly
discharge his duties. He was as
much a casualty as though he had
been wounded on the field of battle.
The need for man power was great
and all means at hand had to be
utilized. If gonorrhea and syphilis
were working against effective man-
power, these diseases must be cur-
tailed. If prudery was one of the
causes militating against their effec-
tive control, prudery must be abol-
ished. If it required money, the
government was willing to spend it
to any extent. To that end, grants
of money were made to all the
States in the Union. There followed
a definite program of cooperation
between the agencies of the federal
government and those of the differ-
ent States.
The program adopted jointly by
the federal and state governments
included the following: The abolish-
ments of places where these dis-
eases were most apt to be prop-
agated; the providing of means of
wholesome recreation for the men
in the service in order that their
minds and bodies might be kept
clean; the furnishing of adequate
treatment facilities both for the
soldier and the civilian; and the
stimulating of a search for new
remedies which provide a more ef-
fectual means of treatment.
As a wartime measure Congress
was liberal with its appropriations
to the States which in turn provided
an equal sum in order that the dis-
ease hazard might be diminished. The
government's interest was in the
armed forces. The State's desire
was to treat and protect their civilian
population, What was good for the
soldier was equally good for the
civilian.
At the close of the war with the
military danger past, the large ex-
penditures by the federal govern-
ment decreased. With the diminution
of federal subsidies, the States im-
mediately adopted a plan of re-
trenchment. However, a worth while
start had been made in the program
for control. It has not ended with
the termination of federal appro-
priations. The different States, in the
main, have continued the work that
was started during the war.
In Pennsylvania the three-fold
plan of attack has persisted in spite
of the necessity for retrenchment
all along the line.
(To be continued.)
At——
—Cows which are to freshen this
fall should be dried off in plenty of
time so that they will be good milk-
ers all winter.
—If the pullets are infested with
body lice and intestinal parasites,
treat the birds before they start to
lay.
_ Plant the following spring-flow-
ering bulbs this fall: Glory-of-the
snow, crocus, snowdrop, squill, daffo-
dil, jonquil, narcissus, and tulip,
State College floriculturists say.
__This is a good time to get from
your agricultural agent an applica-
tion blank for the trees you
want for planting next spring. He
can help you too, in choosing the.
right kind for your locations, Act
quickly, as the supply of treesis be-'
ing rapidly allotted to those who,
have placed their orders.

_ Increased use of small pack-
ages in marketing potatoes last sea-
son was found in a recent survey by
agricultural economists of the Unit-
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Small bags made of cotton, burlap,
or other fiber, and also paper car-
tons, are used. The bags or cartons
usually contain 15 or 25 pounds.
__Dahlia bulbs should be dug and
stored in a safe place as soon as it
starts to freeze, or they will start
new growth at once. Since this
weakens them it should be avoided.
Be sure the main stake is securely
tied to each clump.
—Be sure to save the best corn in
your fields for seed even if they are
only nubbins. Ears that are not fill-
ed out and which have shriveled
kernels, if mature, will make good
seed for next spring. Give such corn
good storage and have it well dried
before freezing weather commences.
— This is the year when tree
cover, especially evergreen around the
spring has almost beneficial effect.
With their tremendous capacity for
catching and holding water in the
soil, evergreen trees often mean the
difference betwen a flowing and a
dry spring. Thy keep the water
cooler, too.
— Thoroughly repair, clean, and
disinfect all laying houses before the
pullets are confined to winter quar-
ters.
—In counting up the advantages
of living on a farm the things sup-
plied to the family table from the
kitchen garden, the orchard, poultry
and other live stock, are an im-
portant consideration. Again, most
farms furnish firewood and often ice.
The farm homemaker’s budget and
household accounts do not give a |
true picture of the economic status |
of the family unless these home- |
grown products are recorded and
evaluated. Most farm women also |
can or store a good part of their |
garden surplus, put up jams, jellies, |
and pickles, and “put down” _ eggs. |
When they take these preserved |
foods from the shelf and put them |
on the table they do not always,
stop to think that if they lived in |
the city each glass of jam or can ot |
string beans would have to be paid |
for in cash. They are sometimes.
richer than they had thought they
were. Some of the farm woman's
products are sold—butter and eggs,
oung broilers, hens that have out- |
lived their usefulness, vegetables, !
both fresh and canned, and. various
other things. Whether the income
from such sales is looked on as
belonging personally to the home.
maker or is pooled with the family
cash, one certainly should know
what it amounts to, in order to
judge which activities pay and which
do not. }
“But,” complains the average
farm homemaker, “it’s too compli-
cated to keep track of every basket
of vegetables I bring in the house.
of every jar of pickles I put away.
I never had a head for figures, any-
way.”
The bureau of home economics of
the United States Department of
Agriculture had this objection in
mind when Farmers’ Bulletin 1553-F,
“Planning and Recording Family Ex-
penditures” was written, and in de-
vising a practical loose-leaf house-
hold account book. The first sug-
gestion made is that a pad or large
card be kept hanging in the kitchen.
Whenever anything is brought in for
household use the kind and quantity
can be entered at once. Materials
for home canning can be written
down when they are gathered, and
then they will not need to be record-
ed at the time of use. With a little
care the person who does the re-
cording—and it is best for one per-
son, usually the homemaker, to at-
tend to this entirely—can avoid the
mistake of entering materials more
than once,
At the end of a week or a month,
the entries on the pad or card can
be transferred to a special page in
the account book headed “Products
furnished by the farm for family
use.”
— The Government and people of
South Carolina wish you to know
that vegetables, fruits, milk, cream,
eggs and other products of that State
are rich in iodine, which prevents
goitre. ‘Through its South Carolina
Natural Resource Commission, the
State gives information about goitre
throughout the country. In some
Western and Northern States “as
high as 70 per cent of high school
girls have enlarged: thyroids.”” In
other places in the West the propor-
tion is 40 to 60 per cent.
—A large percentage of young
pigs are “born dead or imperfect
and soon die,” because the mothers
haven't enough iodine in their sys-
tems. And in another State “sheep
fail to reproduce, for. lack of fodine.”
—A suitable grain ration may be
made of equal parts of ground oats
and barley with 10 per cent of oil
meal added,
WHY —————EEED
Farmers Like “Grasshopper
Mouse.”
Many farmers aré now encouraging !
the “grasshopper mouse” to make his
home in their fields. This husky little
rodent takes its name not from any |
physical characteristics of its own, but
rather from its diet. It first got its
pame in North Dakota when examina- |
tions showed that it fed largely on
grasshoppers. In Arizona, on the
other hand, it is called the “scorpion”
mouse for a similar reason, This va-
riety of mouse has been known to

'
science not quite a century, the first .
specimen having been taken by Max- '
imilian, prince of Wied, at the Man-
dan villages in North Dakota In
1833. Recently reported studies have
demonstrated their importance. In
the western United States and ad-
joining parts of Canada and Mexico
they have been found to be holding
pumerous harmful insects in check
and keeping the proper balance among
the small animals that infest farms.
The grasshopper mouse is distin-
guished by its heavy build and short,
thick tail. Its short legs and bulky
body handicap it in running but it is
harder to catch than swifter rodents
' on account of its quickness at turning
and dodging, which enable it, also, to
corner its prey easily. It is less nerv-
ous and timid than most rodents and
gives evidence of unusual hunting in-
gtincts. Its quarry includes not only
many kinds of insects, but also other
rodents. Its chief sport is said to be
capturing other mice of its own size
or smaller, and it is credited, too, with
desirable than small
destroying the young of many bur-
rowing rodents much larger than it-
self,
It will also rid kitchens, basements,
sellars or greenhouses of many insect
nests.
Why Oil on Surface of
Water Curbs Movement
Oil heing a viscous, slow-moving
liquid, remains on the surface of the
water, and so curbs the movement of
the waves. So sometimes in a storm
oil is poured into the sea from dif-
ferent parts of a vessel according to
the direction of the wind, the course
of the ship, and so on. When the
vessel is running before a gale the oil
is distributed from the bows, whence
it spreads aft, and gives protection to
the vessel all round. If it were poured
on the sea from the stern the oil
would be left behind. Where one ves-
sel is towing another the towing ves-
sel distributes the oil from its own
pows and n both sides. In this way
the ofl spreads so as to benefit both
vessels. The oil is distributed some-
times by pipe, and sometimes by
throwing overboard porous bags at-
tached to a rope. The oil slowly filters
shrough these bags.
Why Flowers Fade Quickly
There are two mistakes commonly
nade in cutting flowers for indoor use.
One is to wait until they are fully
opened, often until they have been
open for several days, before cutting
them. The other is to cut them dur- |
ing the heat of the day. when they
are in ideal condition to wilt. Most
flowers are best cut when in full bud
or just as they are beginning to open. |
There are, of course, some exceptions
to this, such as dahlias, which do not
axpand fully until after three to five
jays after the buds have unfolded.
As a general rule, flowers will open
more nearly perfect and will last
longer if taken just as the buds are
»xpanding and with fairly long stems
Why Called Sport of Kings
Horse racing has been called the
“Sport of Kings” because it has been
one of their amusements since the
earliest dawn of civilization, Thothmes
[ of the eighteenth Egyptian dynasty
left a papyrus letter telling of his con-
quest of Mesopotamia, and priding
himself upon the acquisition of the
racing horse (the Arab) and being
the first to introduce him in Africa.
Somewhat later the records tell of
King Solomon’s buying horses from
i
Egypt and paying as much as $8,000
for some of them. Among the Greeks
horse racing was introduced into the
Olympic games in the thirty-third
Nlympiad (648 B. C.).

Why Insects Don’t Look Back

Sodom and Gomorrah, and for disobe-

INSPECT SURFACE
OF WATERMELON
: |
The color and the condition of the
surface of a watermelon should be
given special attention. If the un-
der side is a pale yellow, lemon or
a warm ivory coler with the skin
a sort of warty roughness,
ripeness is indicated. A warm, yel-
lowish green rather than a bright
clear green on the top is desirable.
There's a thin, film-like covering all
over the surface of a watermelon.
When the melon is ripe this cover-
ing will peel off like dry wax if
the thumb nail is drawn across it.
Often part of a cut melon is pur-
chased. Keep in mind that the
flesh should be a deep pink or
bright red well out to the rind and
that it should have a silver sheen.
It should also be crisp and juicy.
Although mis.shapen melons
should be avoided, the shape of the
fruit is of no importance, round or
long melons being equally good. The
color of the seeds is a matter of
the variety of the melon and has
little to do with maturity.
Large melons usually are more
ones, but a
heavy melon is perferable toa light-
weight large one.
Over-ripe melons are as undesir-
able as immature ones. These can
be detected by the dull appearance
of the rind and the Targe amount
of yellow veins through the green
surface, Watermelon is always pop-
ular served “au naturelle,” but there
are innumerable ways of preparing
it. As a cocktail with a non-alcoho-
lic sherry dressing, in a salad, in a
sherbet or a frappe, watermelon
is a delicious dish at all
meals. Since it is made up chiefly
of water it is of little value and
adds a minimum of calories to one’s
diet.

DR. McCREARY SPEAKS
FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Dr, J. Bruce McCreary, deputy
secretary of heauth, today remind-
ed parents of school children to be
watchful of the physical welfare of
young people during the next school
ear.
«It is not enough,’ said Doctor
McCreary, “that parents are inter-
ested in sending their children at
the beginning of school, to their les-
sons, in good physical condition as
essential as that may be. It is equal-
ly necessary that a prime physical
condition be maintained throughout
the year.
«With the habits of relaxation
which invariably accompany a sum-
mer vacation, there is a strong like-
lihoood that parents will be tempt-
ed to indulge their children more
or less in a continuance of them.
This frequently results in evening
entertainments of one kind or another
which in turn more or less habit.
ually robs school children of their
necessary sleep. It must be thor-
oughly understood that the scholas-
tic demands upon the average pupil
with its indoor recreations are suf-
ficiently great in themselves with-
out overburdening the growing body
with other impositions, Fresh air,
and exercise after school in which
of course recreation is involved are
essential. On the other hand, reg-
ularity and quantity of sleep is
equally required, as is also regular-
ity and proper types of food.
«Tt follows that devitalizing pleas-
ures and recreations should be strictly
avoided. This rule applies equally
to the first grade and senior high
school students.
