Bellefonte, Pa., April 22, 1832. Your Health THE FIRST CONCERN. “Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch proved that transmissible diseases and infections enter the body tissues by specific microorganisms which | invade it from the outide. These bacteria, vary in trouble degree from the one causing an irritating cold to those resulting in major illness and death, states Dr. Appel, Secretary of | Health. “Those persons who have unfortu-' nately contracted colds should cough and sneeze into handkerchiefs. The spray from a cough or sneeze can very readily infect a close-by stand- er by the direct air route. Moreover, if persons suffering from respiratory or bronchial affection cough or sneeze over food that is served another, the germs thus distributed can quite readily invade the consum- er. Unquestionably carelessness in these matters has been the direct cause for many a cold and worse. “Food handlers who are ill are’ likely to become a disease hazard if | they do not religiously apply soap and water to their bands before en-| ng in their work. “And finally, in this highly com-' plex civilization of ours, the hands of the average well individual are likely to contact with germs by way of other objects such as doorknobs, tow- els, etc, Therefore, soap and water n looms large as the only safe prophylaxis before one takes food into the mouth. “In short, a little more individual care and the use of a little more soap and water will do much to decrease the power of some of the more com- | mon disease breeding bacteria. Why not apply them?” CAUSES OF DENTAL DECAY By Dr. Morris Fishbein “Such work has been done in recent years on the causes of dental decay that physicians and dentists are be- ginni to have a real insight into the I ook Dental decay is no respecter of persons; “it affects the rich and the poor, the young and the old. In a survey of the subject Dr. Martha Koehne has revived the most rominent opinions of leading inves- tors. There is, of course, first of all the idea that good or bad teeth are inherited. However, are not made from health ts of view and’ not possible to determine that part exactly. For a while the sl “A clean tooth never decays'—was believed to . express the truth, but serious stu- dents of dental disease have long since discarded this conception.

Moore Campbell, chief of the bureau. of communicable diseases, has issued the following statement: “In order that he may protect the health of a community by in the case of a communicable di- sease, a health officer must have in- formation concerning the case, This information may be given him by the physician, by the school teacher, by neighbors, hood news. In any event, he must at once investigate, secure the report from the householder, and if true, es- tablish quarantine. “Even the merest rumor that such a case exists must be investigated by the health officer, and he must re- quire, under tkreat of prosecution if that shall be necessary, the house- holder's report, if no physician be in, attendance. “As a very important link in the’ mechanism of contagious disease control, teachers should always noti- fy health officers, when they know, or even suspect, that a contagious disease of any character exists in the homes of any of their pupils. If re- ports, even vague in their character, reach the ears of teachers, they should communicate them to the health officer, and it will be his duty to investigate and establish the truth or falsity thereof. WHITE COLLAR JOBLESS FOUND HARD TO HELP No group of unemployed are more difficult to help than the “white col- | lar’ workers, the President's Organ- ization on Unemployment declares in a bulletin. In the first place, the bulletin states, the unemployed clerk, ur of- fice man, is the last to admit his plight and apply for aid. In the sec- ond, it is most difficult to find—or make—relief jobs for these mer. In an effort to help solve this prob- lem, the president's organization has De- partment of labor make a survey of the best methods of approaching the “white collar” problem. After inves- tigating methods in 31 different cities, the bureau has submitted a number of suggestions, First the bureau suggests a surve and a special registration of the of- fice class employed. This has been found the best method of breaking Sowa their natural resistance to char- ty. The bureau lists the following types of special work which have beett provided for the “white collar” jobless, Traffic counts, study of traf- fic acidents, tree surgery, chauffeur service, b city records up to date and atte to special work in public offices. unemployed office men also have been found useful as extra wel- fare workers and relief investigators, the bureau reports.

There is also, of course, the in- fectious theory which would place the responsibility on certain germs in the mouth. Unfortunately no one has been able to isolate a germ that will produce dental decay in animals, and this theory is considered as yet unfounded, The chief practical point in all discussions is the fact that good dental care given early to spots of decay prevents their spread and pre- vents the growth of the individual cavity. One of the most common causes of illness among children is impetigo contagiosa, an infection that attacks the skin and produces blisters, crusts and pus. At present in several hospitals! newborn infants seen to be particu- larly subject to this infection. Frequently when a child develops the condition, the mother will re- member an occasion when her child was in contact with some other child or Sat) tint hod the disease. petigo appears with one spot of infection, usually a small, grayish-yellow biister, which, when it bursts, dries and becomes a yellow- ish-brown crust. Since the lesions itch, the child is likely to scratch and rub them, which serves to spread the purulent mater- ial over the skin so that from 24 to 48 hours later similar blisters appear on other parts of the body. Th younger the child the more sen- sitive the skin and the more likely the spread of the infection. | The germs in the pus are active, so that the infection may be trans-, mitted not only on the hands but also on clothing, handkerchiefs, tow- toys, washcloths or any other material that has been contaminated by the pus. Like all infections, impetigo is best controlled at the earliest possible mo- the fund racketeer. Agencies planning solicitation of funds in Pennsylvania are warned that they must comply with the pro- visions of this law. Violation of any of the provisions of the act consti- tutes a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both. ~~ Mrs. Alice F.

During the first two months of the year, 3,168 unlawful dogs were kill- ed by police officials and 303 prose- cutions instituted against owners for violating the law.

If the very first postule or blister is treated with proper anti- septics, if the pus is absorbed on a piece of sterile cotton or gauze, if the crust is removed by with warm water and then the antiseptic powder or liquid applied, the condi- tion can usually be stopped. However, it must be remembered that the clotheing of the child, its handkerchiefs, its washcloths, or its toys may have already become con- taminated by the pus and that it will be necessary to carefully disinfeét all of these materials if the condi- tion is to be completely eliminated. / station.

Here is the advice given by Pro- fessor Halpin, Wisconsin College of agriculture to an inquirer who asks about the plan of fattening turkeys on barley: | “In reply to your letter, wouid say | that if I were you, I would not de- | pend upon barley alone for fattening | turkeys, but would use a combination | of barley and corn or barley, wheat | and corn. In addition to this I should | want to feed some milk. Barley alone is incomplete. Barley and green grass 'and milk would bring your turkeys {along fairly well. A combination though, of barley with corn or barley with corn and wheat and the milk would give you, on an average, more | satisfactory gains. Barley is good | poultry grain, but like all the other | grains must be supplemented with | these other things to get good re- | sults. | “I note you have to buy corn. I | would urge you to buy good, dry, old | corn. I wouldn't feed turkeys new corn as there are many reports of trouble from the feeding of new corn to turkeys.’ —Wisconsin Agri- | culurist. ~The feeding of grain in limited quantities in deep litter provides ex- ercse for the hens in that they are compelled to scratch and work to find the grain. This working increas- es their appetites and makes them eat more mash feed, which is neces- sary for higher egg production.

Mrs. Lynch puts down one end of the page near the plant covers the end with dirt, arches the sheet of paper over the plant and covers the other with dirt. She says she never has suffered a loss when her plants were protected in this way except when actual freezing temper- atures have been reached. -—The Pennsylvania Seed Law does not permit the selling of oats, or amy other farm seeds, for seeding purpos- es which have not been labeled in compliance with the Seed Law. This is the answer given by officials of the State Bureau of Plants Industry, to the timely question, “Can feed oats be legally sold for seed oats in this Commonwealth?” The protection of the Seed Law to the farmers need not be accepted if they do not wish to have it, and from past experience we know that many farmers in the State do not accept the protection given them by the Seed Law.
