STANDING ROOM ONLY"
Startling Facts About the Growth
of the World.

While man Is looking forward appre-
hensively to the time when his supplies
OF coal will be exhausted, he appears to
give no thought to much more serious
aud imminent source of anxiety In the
fact that long before our coal deposits
are exhausted the world will literally be
full up, and will be no longer able TO
support new lives.
The first contingency, SAYS Tid-Bits.
which TO most peop.e. perhaps, seems as
remote as the millennium or the Greek
kalends, Is really no more distant from
us than the days of James l., an interval
which three healthy lives would easily
bridge, and, beyond that happily at a
distance of q thousand years, looms the
day when 1t will be necessary to affix to
the earth the ominous notice, Standing

This is assuming that the population
only maintains its present rate of
all, on this side Of moderation, but be-
fore either contingency happens there is
ample room for a very large increase in
population 1t is commonly, and wrong
ly, stated that Belgium is the most
crowded country in the world 1t is true
that each square mile of Be GUM ac-

one-tenth acres to each inha bintant; but
on each square mile of England are
crowded no fewer than 600 people, SO that
England will very shorty reach the stage
of 'one man, one acre..
Italy ranks high among crowded coun-
tries, with a population of 284 to each
square mile, or, roughly, one to every
two ard one-quarter acres. Germany has
nearly two and three-fifth acres for each
inhabitant. and Austria-Hungary an acre
less. Spain has only ninety-one of her
population for each square mile, and E.
ropean-Russia fifty-one.
In Asiatic Russia there is ample elbow

1t is interesting, however. to note that
Bombay is the most crowded city in the

Medical Notes.

Biting the finger nails is supposed to
be child's trick, but many people of
larger growth are not exempt from the
custom. Filthy as this habit is, there is
another more SO, that of cleaning the
nails with the teeth. Aside from the vuI-
garity of the habit, there is danger of
infection with disease and consequent
blood poisoning in biting the nails The
teeth. it is we'll known, inflict dangerous
wounds, and it does not need a wound as
wide as a church door for the entrance
of dlsease-bearing germs. Germs may
be introduced by the teeth, while biting
the nails, but there is more danger in
biting off hang-nails since the skin is
broken in this case and poisonous matter
or germs may be directly introduced into
the blood. In getting rid OF a hang-nail
always pull it off with tweezers, even if
it does hurt bit. This method pulls
it off by the roots. so to speak, but cut
ting it with a knife or scissors always
leaves a slight projection or tab of skin
which catches in various objects and
tears the shred of skin into another hang
nail. Pulling them off with the finger
nails is open to the same objection as
biting them off with the teeth Poison
Gus matter may adhere to the nails and
be introduced by them into the blood
Scratching insecticides with the finger
nails until the skin Is broken, even if
blood is not drawn, may introduce germs
or infectious matter, and for this reason

of self-control to endure the itching, but
! TINS may be aided in degree by wash

gar, weak ammonia water, bay rum, a
solution of bicarbonate of soda in water
or by rubbing the bites with menthol

! application is essential where there are
many bites, especially in the case of
children, as the irritation may cause fever

ancient forms of torture was the horrible
form of putting a person in pit swarm

There is a method of o. trolling the
milk supply in Copenhagen which might
be profitably adopted in American cities
The milk is collected from the farmers
and pasteurized before shipment. 1t is
then cooled nearly to the freezing point
The milk thus treated remains entirely
fresh and IS unaltered in taste, the cream
rising as in ordinary milk. The cans
used for transportation of this milk are
sterilized by steam and when filled are
placed in a cooler until shipment. In
warm weather a definite amount of
frozen milk is put into the cans, the
amount of milk-ice depending upon the
distance to be traversed. This keeps the
milk perfectly cool and sweet The cost
of thus caring for milk is about an
eighth of a cent per quart where the
daily amount handled is 1000 quarts.
Aside from keeping the milk sweet for
a longer time this method avoids con-
tamination of the milk by bacteria, a
common source of disease. 1t is beyond
question true that many serious epidem-
les of disease have been caused by i'm
pure milk and 1t is always difficult to
obtain milk suitable for the use of sick
people and children. No doubt in time
milk will be prepared in this way in
America and public opinion will have
much to do in bringing about this needed
reform.
