SIMPLE RULES OF HEALTH
Prevention Of Disease. Rather Than Cure. Should
Be the Aim
H.y-MakInq for Fun Il eiob,v.

A press dispatch from Brideeport
Conn. gives an interesting account Of
the oldest twins In the country. Julius
and Junius Benham. who recently cele-
brated their eightieth birthday hay
making on their farm in Seymour.
~Hay-making is great fun" said Ju-
MUS. -and ! feel as II I could NOV

Of the barn as I used TO in days long
ago. and mowin' away hay is about
the hottest work there Is to be found
IN summer.
The Benham twins are remarkable
men. They are far from being In
yalids. though they have arrived At the
age when most persons are usually
feeble. Beginning life as apprentices
10 mason. they worked up and later
became builders and contractors.
Some years ago the Benhauls gave
up building and settled down to the
care Of the real estate they had ac-
quired In their long residence in
Bridgeport. Every morning at eight
o'clock the twins will be found at their
ofiee opening their mail and preparing
10 drive about the city to collect rents
and look after their property.
We always got up early in the
morning" said Junius. when spoken to
about the hour Of rising. and We can't
get out OF the habit"
The twins are In excellent health
People ought to be cheerful II they
want TO live TO be DID," said Julius.
Look at brother Junius and me. No
boys OF the present day ever had as
hard a time to get along as We did
when we started. but we had what q
good many boys OF to-day DO no; have.
Our mother gave to US iron constitu-
lions. the greatest present a mother
can give to her boys and We had been
taught TO live according to the simple
and clean rules OF the country. We
lived clean lives always We never
drank liquor nor used tobacco. Money
spent for such things is worse than
money thrown away. but many OF the
boys to-day seem to think they can't be
men unless they drink liquor and uza
tobacco. Why. we would never have
lived to celebrate our eighticth BIRTH

tight lives You can enjoy yourself
without going contrary to Natures
laws. There Is plenty OF harmless
fun in the world, but ii seems TO mo
that people are booking for the fun

Do No. Wave the handkerchief.

At a meeting of the women's Chris
tian Temperance Union in Cincinnati.
one OF the speakers was welcomed
with the usual Chautauquan futter of
handkerehiefs throughout the auditor
ium. and the compliment was accepted
with proper satisfaction. Soon after
wards. says Good Housekeeping. an
inconveaientiy practical and learned
delegate created quite sensation by
declaring that this Handkerchief salute
was most unhygienic performances,
which was quite competent to account
for the colds and coughs that il was
apparent had a wide distribution
among the delegates. II was moved
that the delegates. like sensible peo-
pie. keep their handkerchiefs in their
pockts. where they belonged. except
when in necessary use. and that the
saluting be done with little silk fazs
provided for the purpose"
The proposition met with lively on
,osition. and IL was argued against
with no little acerbity. but in the end
common sense and faith In the MI
crobe theory triumphed. and the mo
ton was carried by a vote OF one hun
dred and thirty-four to ninety-one.
That this reform has already taken
hold" Is attested by the fact that when
a party OF woman suffrage delegates
departed for Europe they were waved
away by a futtering cloud OF little
flags. In commenting on this the
Medical Record says. TT is a grave
sanitary question whether the hank-
kerchief does not do more harm then
good. ~ Il II ordinarily used. Moo
nasal catarrhs are Of an infectiouo
character, notably those Of q grip Of
gin. Worse than the nasal discharroe
are the expectorations that find their
way into the pocket The good womon
IN the convention certainly deserve
great credit for calling attention to tha
. dangers Of the handkerchief"

FIies as Carrier Of DIsease.

In an address before the California
Health Association. DIR. Cobb caIIes.
the attention OF the medical profession
to the necessity OF an active crusade
against the common house ny.
This pestiferous insect has many
chances to communicate disease from
one person to another. In cholera epi-
denies It has been shown that nies
are the means Of spreading the dis.
ease by injecting the food.
Whenever large bodies OF men 20
into camp. typhoid fever Is almost Ger.
tain to break out. even though the
water supply is carefully protectet
from contamination. Such outbreaks
are due to hy-infection OF the food
supply. Scattered cases Of typhoid
fever In country settlements are more
often the result OF fly Infection than
OF water infection.
DR.. Cobb believes that tuberculos!s :
is communicated not only through the
lungs by means OF contaminated dust.
but that the greater source Of infee-
tion Is by means OF the fy plantin :
sputum on the food from its feet.
wings. and e1creiions. This infection
By flies has been proved very clearly
When the habits Of the fly are con
sidered. IT is not unreasonable to be
lieye that this insect Is an important
factor In the spread of disease. They
swarm upon decaying vegetable mat
ter, manure piles. the fifth of the
streets. priyy vaults. and every pos
sibie source OF infection. Follow them
then TO the street yenders OF fruit
and candy. the bakery. butchershop
and restaurant. and even TO the family
table. especially OF the poor. and IL Is
not difficult to understand the ease
with which germs OF all kinds are con
yeyed to the food.
II may be affirmed. however that In
the process Of cooking. the bacteria
will be killed This is granted. but il IS
not here that the danger lies. II Is
from food which Is eaten raw. or
which has been cooked and upon
which the fly a:,erward alights that
the greatest danger OF infection oe-
ours. The longer this food remains IN.
eaten after this contamination. the
greater the probability that n colon

age OF Infection
II is In the homes Of the poor that
the greatest danger arises. The poer
nearly universally leave their table

vioas meal Upon this food nies as

time to time the children help then.

termination OF this pest. Housewives
especially should be careful TO pre-

OF the duck at the head and side of
