Do Not Wave the handkerchief.

At meeting of the Women's Chris

one of the speakers was welcomed
with the usual Chautauquan futter Of
handkerchiefs throughout the auditor

with proper satisfaction. Soon after
wards, says Good Housekeeping, an
inconveniently practical and learned
delegate created quite sensation by
declaring that this handkerchief salute
was a most unhygienic performance,
which was quite competent to account
for the colds and coughs that it was
apparent had wide distribution
among the delegates. It 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 flags
provided for the purpose"
The proposition met with lively op-
| position, and 1t was argued against
with no little acerbity, but in the end
| common sense and faith in the mi
| crobe theory triumphed, and the mo-
| tion was carried by 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
party of woman suffrage delegates
departed for Europe they were waved
away by a fluttering cloud Of little
flags. In commenting on this the

sanitary question whether the hand

Flies as Carriers Of Disease.

In an address before the California
Health Association, DIR. Cobb called
the attention of the medical profession
against the common house fly.
This pestiferous insect has many
chances 20 communicate disease from
one person to another. In cholera epi-
denies 1t has been shown that flies
are the means Of spreading the dis
ease by injecting the food.
Whenever large bodies Of men go
into camp, typhoid fever is almost GER
tain to break out, even though the
water supply is carefully protected
from contamination. Such outbreaks
are due to fly-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 tuberculosis
is communicated not only through the
lungs by means of contaminated dust,
but that the greater source of infec-
tion is by means of the fly planting
sputum on the food from it's feet,
wings, and excretions. This Infection
by flies has been proved very clearly.
When the habits of the fly are con-
sidered, it is not unreasonable to be-
lieve that this insect is an important
factor in the spread of disease. They
swarm upon decaying vegetable mat
ter, manure piles. the filth of the
streets, privy vaults, and every pos
sible source of infection. Follow them
then to the street venders of fruit
and candy, the bakery, butchershop
and restaurant, and even to the family
table, especially of the poor, and it is
not difficult to understand the ease
with which germs of all kinds are con-
veyed to the food.
It may be affirmed, however that in
the process of cooking, the bacteria
will be killed. This is granted, but it is
not here that the danger lies. It is
from food which is eaten raw, or
which has been cooked and upon
which the fly afterward alights that
the greatest danger of infection oc-
ours. The longer this food remains un-
eaten after this contamination, the
greater the probability that colony
has grown, thereby increasing the dos
age of infection.
1t is in the homes Of the poor that
the greatest danger arises. The poor
nearly universally leave their tables
set with cold food left from the pre-
vious meal. Upon this food flies as
semble in great numbers, and from
time to time the children help them
selves, the remainder of the food being
served at the next meal. 1t is there
fore necessary to combine for the ex-
termination of this pest. Housewives
especially should be careful to pre-
vent this source of dangerous infec-
ton.

A Window Tent.

A medical journal describes win
dow tent devised for the open air
treatment of tuberculosis. 1t consists
Of frame to fit the lower half of the
window, to vaich is attached inside
the window an awning of waterproof
duck, stretched in quarter-circle. The
bed is placed parallel with the win
dow, so that the invalid's head and
shoulders are within the awning, en-
trance being made through flap in
the side of the tent. The lower edges
of the duck at the head and side of
the bed are long enough to tuck under
the mattress, and thus air from the
room is thoroughly excluded. The
frame of the tent does not quite fill
the lower half of the window; for the
escape of warm air from the room
there is left space of three inches,
which can be reduced at will. For
protection from storms the roof of the
tent projects slightly beyond the win
dow, and roller blind is placed inside
the window.

The Need for Recreation.

Rest restores again the energy
which has ben consumed in work. So

man comes to the point where he can
no longer restore by rest or sleep the
loss of energy which has occurred, he
necessarily becomes neurasthenic, be-
cause his nerve cells remain chron-
ically in that exhausted condition.
This is the reason vacation some
times does so much for one, complete

energy and saving one from q com.

spell to come again. When the busi-
ness man finds at the end of his three
weeks vacation that he has not yet re-
covered his natural energy, and he has
to go back to his work in almost the
same condition in which he left It, he
has chronic neurasthenia, and is going
to :iave tremendous, perhaps an ir.

The Starvation Cure.

no means a new idea. 1t Is very old.

adays.
Long fasting is one of the most ef.
fective means of securing thorough go
ing constitutional reconstruction. II
compels the body to feed upon ITSELF
In the rebuilding, defects may be left
out, and healthy conditions may be
re-established.
But this result may be secured by
other and generally safer means. It
is not so much the Withholding Of
food, but Of certain elements of food,
which secures the benefits of fasting.
1t is the proteids, from which the sys.
tenn in diseased condition manufac-
lures the poisons, which give rise to
rheumatism, biliousness, neurasthenia
and gout. When proteids are with.
neid. the formation Of poisons soon
ceases of necessity, and thus the dis
turbed functions return to their nor.
NAL state and the health is restored.
By a diet of fruit this condition may
be secured as readily as, perhaps more
readily than, by any other means. The
fruit diet is really proteid starvation,
as fruits contain practically no pro-
teids.
Certainly a fruit diet is far more
agreeable than total abstinence from
food. Fruits contain predigested food
elements which do not clog the sys
TEN, and which are valuable in sus.
tanning the strength.
Fasting is a good thing in certain
cases; but long fasts are rarely need
ed, and fruit diet is preferable in all
essential particulars, except in certain
cases in which fruit acids are irritat.

Hay-MakIns for Fun at Eighty.


A press dispatch from Bridgeport,
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 If l could NOW
away hay up in the peak of the peak
OF the barn as 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
valids, though they have arrived at the
age when most persons are usually
feeble. Beginning life as apprentices
to a mason, they worked up and later
became builders and contractors.
Some years ago the Benhams 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
office opening their mail and preparing
to drive about the city to collect rents
and look after their property
I'VE 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 If 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 not have.
Our mother gave to us iron constitu-
tions, 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 use
tobacco. Why, we would never have
lived to celebrate our eightieth BIRTH
Gay If it had not been that we lived
right lives. You can enjoy yourself
without going contrary to Natures

fun in the world, but it seems to me
that people are looking for the fun
