HEALTH TALK
BY DR. THEODORE
B. APPEL. SECRETARY OF
HEALTH
“There is an old saw, which states
A little knowledge is a dangerous
thing. And the truth of this familiar
adage is no more aptly illustrated than
in its connection with the human body
Literature on health and illness is ex-
ceedingly prevalent these days. Much
of it is admirable. Some of it quite
otherwise. In the former class may be
placed the popular articles on -health
over the name of recognized author
ities appearing in magazines and the
newspapers. In the latter category are
truths of fad-
dists, cultists and the simon-pure fak-
irs. However, there is much more to
do than to be able to differentiate be
tween the two,” states Doctor Theo-~

{1] of a very excellent daily health fea-
ture. And despite the frequent warn-
ings by the writer that illness was a
matter for professional, rather than
amateur attention, she unfortunately
arrived a the conclusion that she
knew as much about some ailments as
did a physician. Consequently, when
the eldest child ‘went down with a
cold,’ calling on her over-rated inform-
ation on the subject, the mother treat-
ed her boy. The fact that three days
later penumonia killed him has sadly
reduced her estimation of her own
medical wore.
“Now the point of this tale lies in
the truth that all the information on
medical subjects to be found in print-
ed popular form, no matter how ex-
cellent it may be, can not, nor is it
expected to, supplant the services of
the family physician, of when needed,
the specialist.
“To be able to talk glibly about
blood pressure, calories, vitamins,
thrombosis, goitre and many other in-
teresting subjects may be a social as
set; and within reason to follow the
practical advice found in health fea-
tures is displaying excellent common
sense. On the other hand, to imagine
that the constant reading of such ma-
erial automatically gives one a pro-
fessional insight to curative, or even
many phases of preventive medicine,
is the sheerest folly.
“It must not be forgotten that doc
ors are not made in a day. Most of
them have graduated from a four
year college course, a four year inten
sive medical study, have had a year's
hospital experience, and to all this
preparation have added years of daily
professional attention to the personal
illness of many hundreds of persons.
“To set off against this type of train-
ing a fe whundred columns of news
print is a pathetic exhibition of mis-
placed egotism. Therefore, if tempted
to self treat and give medical advice,
remember that a little knowledge is a
dangerous thing, and that is is the
doctor's and no on else's business to
attempt to care for the sick.

CANNERY PRODUCTS
INSPECTION BECOMES
POPULAR SERVICE

{ United States

Grading, by State inspectors, of
raw farm crops for manufacture in-
creased nearly ten million pounds in
1931 over 1930, according to George
A. Stuart, director, bureau of markets
Pennsylvania Department of Agri.
culture.
This type of inspection is purely
a voluntary service performed by
the State only when requested and
upon payment of fees to cover the
expenses of the State officials in per-
forming the work.
This service was started in 1928
when the first inspectors were re-
quested at three Pennsylvania ecan-
neries, Mr. Stuart explains, That
year 900 000 pounds of tomatoes were
purchased on the basis of the U. S.
grades. In four years the demand
from growers and canners for
service increased to the extent that
23 inspectors were employed in 1931
to handle the inspection of approxi-
mately 53 500,000 pounds of the raw
fruits and vegetables. Thirty-two
million pounds consisted of apples,
tomatoes totaled thirteen million
pounds, and the balance were snap
beans, sour cherries and grapes for
grape juice manufacture,
Grades for other crops, not now
inspected, will soon be issued by the
Department of Agri-
culture, according to Mr. Stuart so
that the State will te able to furnish
inspectors for canning corn during
the 1932
the |
day.”

today it contained this note: “Your
salary is your own personal business
and should not be told to anyone.”
But he said he fixed the boss,
When he signed hia receipt he wrote
on the bottom of it: “I'm just as
much ashamed of it as you are.”
A little fellow on East Main street
said to his father: “Dad is it correct
that Edison invented the first talk-
ing machine?”
Reply: “No, son, he did not but he
did invent the first one you could
shut up.”
I'll bet four dollars against a snow
ball that if his old lady heard that

It’s rather amusing the peculiar ex-
periences people have. Frank Germer
says he was at a show one time to
see a hypnotist. As the hypnotist
was about to work on a subject he re-
marked: “I will now make this man
forget everything.”
Frank says he put up a big kick
because the man owed him ten doll-
ars.
1 asked Henry Eby and Jake Her
shey what cities they went thru on
their way home from Florida and
they told me if I get a road map they
will show me.

Henry said he ‘just couldn't resist
trying his luck at fishing and it sure
was sport. One fish in particular that
he caught was so big that it made
him puff till he got it ashore.
Jake said he fished too and kept
hoping that no big ones would take
his bait as he went down there on a
little vacation and didn't care to ex-
ert himself.
Believe me, that's the only way to
get a real vacation.
Bud Carpenter and Grant Gerberich
attended a dinner at Lebanon last
Thursday. They had fish and when
the plate was passed there were but
two left. Grant took the large one
and passed it to Bud, who remarked:
“If I'd have served myself first, I
would have taken the small fish and
left the large one for you.”
Grant said: “Well, you got the lit-
tle one, didn’t you? What are you
kickin’ about?”

We have a man on East Main St.
who claims that his wife never lis-
tens to a word he says. I told him
he should try talking in his sleep.
Doc Stoner told a patient to drink

if he followed instructions.
The patient said: “Yes, I drank 4
cups of coifee and two of water every
Doc said: “But my dear man, coffee
and water are not the same.”
“They are where I eat,” said the
patient.
A boy on East Donegal street said:
“Pon. I wanna go to the George
Washington Bicentennial celebration
in Washington.”

Egg Grading
“The Department asked the last
regular session of the General As-
sembly for an egg grading law but
the request was refused,” Secretary
McSparran states in his review, “The
Department, in cooperation with the
poultrymen, then established volun-
tary egg grades for use in Pennsyl-
vania. This action has met with
favorable response and -most en-
ciuraging results. The grades were
immediately adopted by the officials
of the egg auction at Doylestown and
a licensed inspector was located at
the assembling plant to grade all
eggs before the auction,
“This development has
helpful to hundreds of poultrymen
|in Bucks County in obtaining premi-
ruin prices, and apparently the Phila-
deiphia market has responded to the
situation and the best grades of eggs
in Pennsylvania are now selling from
one cent below to several cents above
the price received by Pacific Coast
producers. Before the egg grading
work was attempted here, the Cali-
fornia eggs were selling from four
to six cents a dozen above the price
paid for the Pennsylvania laid eggs.
European Corn Borer
“The European corn ‘borer has
threatened the corn growing indus-
try of Pennsylvania for almost a de-
cade. However, corn growers in co-
operation with the State and Federal |
Departments have accomplished an
outstanding piece of work in effec-
1 tively curbing the ravages of this
ingect. The rate of infestation in
the oldest and most densely infested
area has been reduced from five to
less than one per cent during the
past five years while in all other in-
fested States the number has in-
creased, Clean farming practices
such as cutting corn stalks low and
‘not allowing any corn refuse to re-
main over winter, have contributed
| much to this successful campaign
against the corn borer. So far the
insect has been kept out of the prin-
cipal corn growing counties, and it is
hopeful that the spread into these
counties and its rate of increase
there will be extremely slow because
of the successful and practical means
of control undeveloped.
Unscrupulous Milk Dealers
“Rounding up unscrupulous dealers
who were practicing a short-changing
scheme on the milk producers has
| brought definite results during the
! year. Fifteen of these dealers were
| caught under-reading the Babcock

"the farmers who had been cheated.
While this type of business has
proven very cistly to farmers, it is
only fair to emphasize the fact that
| the great majority of milk dealers
are not in this class. They are doing
an honest business and are cooperat-
ing not only with milk producers but
with State officials and local health
authorities in the distribution of the
best possible grade of milk circum-
stances will permit |
“Merging of bureaus and cutting
out unnecessary duplication of activ-
ities have made it poscible for the

Department to accomplish more work
than during previous years with a
reduction of $50000 in the annual
budget. Many of the important ac-
