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.
A survey of’ the subject made by |
a group of Wisconsin investigators |
. indicated that mouth washes are not |

OFFICIAL TELLS DUTIES
OF HEALTH OFFICERS
Some misunderstandings having
arisen in several counties as to the
exact duties of health officers
ing under the Pennsylvania state de-
t of health, Dr. J. 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,

There are many other theories that
concern the general chemistry of the
y so. far as acid or alkaline diets |
may be involved.
1t is difficult to correlate the body
chemistry basis of dental decay with |
the fact that certain teeth, for in-|
stance’ the molars, decay more rap-
idly and more frequently than the
incisors. |
There are parts of the world where |
- rickets, due to a deficiency of vita-
min D, dees not occur, and yet many
people in these areas suffer with the
condition called caries or general,
dental decay.
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

Frequently when a child develops

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 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.

visions of this law. Violation of any

A total of 295,574 individual dog
licenses and 428 kennel licenses for
1932 have been issued, according to
the latests reports received by the
bureau of animal industry, Pennsyl-

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

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

that the clotheing of the child, its

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. A
hen that does not eat enough soon
drops off in her laying, If too little
grain is fed, and the litter is too deep,
the birds soon become

per's Farmer. 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

she never has suffered a loss when

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.
