ing on his emergency brake and bring
ing his automobile to a sudden stop,

SUB IKE ICE BOX
ID THEN SCALD IT
That Is the Only Way to Keep
It in Proper Con
dition
Ice and a box to keep it in and the
foods that must be kept at a low
temperature are a necessity during the
present hot weather, but getting the
ice and the box is not the end of the
matter. Unless the box is kept
scrupulously clekn there is danger
that it will become a serious menace
to the health of the family.
According to Health Commissioner
Dixon who discusses the ice problem
in his weekly health and hygiene let
ter the cleaning of the icebox must
be frequent and at regular intervals.
The interior should be washed first
with cold water and soap then rinsed
with scalding water. The drainage
pipes should be kept free from slime.
Where a rubber tube is used to carry
off the waste water this can be boiled
without damaging it.
The ice itself should be thoroughly
washed always before !t is put into
the box. Unless there is absolute cer
tainty that the ice Is made from filter
ed water or obtained from a source
free of sewage pollution it should not
be placed directly on rood or in the
drinking water.
Economy and health will both be
served by placing the drinking water
in a receptacle next to the ice. This
will bring it to as low a temperature
as is healthful. Iced drinks interfere
with digestion and are a menace to
health. They often arrest digestion
and not infrequently produce death.
Red meats should never ra frozen or
placed in contact wi>h ice.
Scrupulous cleanlinet.-j will lie re
paid by the saving in foodstuffs and
the maintaining of their quality.

Spontaneous Combustion Is Be

EVE INJURIES FROM ALKALIES
The daily papers and magazines of
the past two years, at home and abroad,
have contained numerous Instances of
I more <or less serious injuries to the
eyes from the explosion of the central
| rubber bags of some sorts of golf balls,
1 tilled with strong solutions of alkalies,
i Popular attention being in this wa>
1 drawn to the dangers from alkalies in
golf balls, it is well worth recalling
♦he possibility of Injuries to the eyes
from other forms of alkalies.
A boy was busy whitewashing his
father's fence when another boy came
along and tliey began to talk together
as boys will talk; from talk it was not
far to guying and sport, then came
pulling and hauling. In the final strug
gle fr<r the control of the brush, the '
friendly boy flapped the brush into the
working boy's face, in so abundant a
fashion that the lime in the whitewash
entered one of the eyes and injured
it for life, leaving a scar which neither '
medicine, operation nor treatment can
get rid of. .
Another injury recently reported is
one not so likely to happen to any boy. 1
A boy was so anxious to have his fact
clean and presentable at dinner that 1
he made un a thick lather and then '
so completely enveloped his neck, head i
and face with it that some entered the i
eyes, burning the eyeballs so that the i
boy was hardl- - able to see at all. This
bov is Injured for life owing to his
own thoughtlessness. If he or hfs i
narents had attended any public health
lectures on the care of the eyes, thev
would have understood the risks of :
using strong alkalies near the eyes in
any fashion.

DIET UNDER WAR CONDITIONS
The European war has changed the
supply of readily available foods, and
brought about an enforced movement
toward a partial vegetarian diet, in
place of the more extensive use of
meats, eggs, butter and wheat pro
ducts. These changes, being the sub
ject of governmental regulation and en
forcement, place new restrictions on the
dietary of the sick. It sounds strange
to our ears to hear that patients are
actually required to have a prescrip
tion or permit to enable them to pro
cure wheat flour or wheat bread for
the preparation of toast. The reftne- I
ments of cookery, along with the mod- |
ern milling of the various grains and ;
the preparation of dried vegetables, are I
likely to eliminate in part the wide dls- i
tinctions between animal and vegetable 1
products. This is in harmony with the j
success of numerous sanatoriums con- I
ducted on vegetarian principles in mat
ters of diet. _
The various devices of the German |
armv for furnishing suitable food to >
the troops in action are responsible for i
the unimpaired health of many per- j
sons Fresh meats, potatoes and vege
tables poorly cooked by the individual
soldier under stress of army conditions
are certain to lead to dyspeptic diar
rheas and irritations, the forerunners
of infectious invasion. Experience In
former wars abundantly verifies this
statement, says The Journal of the
American Medical Association. But the
present field kitchens of the German
army, the "Gulaschkanonen" as they
have been fancifully called, have fur
nished foods that are cooked with great
thoroughness, so that they are readily
comminuted and then easily digested.
The lessons of this diet service may
well appeal to us.
