HEALTH DEPARTMENT TALKS.
Danger in Dirty Houses.
SOME HINTS ON MOVING.

DR.. Drake, Statistician of the De
partment Of Health, has recently
made the statement that upwards OF
1000 persons in Chicago have become
infected with consumption during the
past winter. He adds that the winter
months are the most dangerous period
of the year on account of people liv-
ing to closely housed. This state
ment of DR.. brakes has suggested
the need of caution in the matter of
people moving into houses that have
been vacated by other families.
Many of these houses contain dis
ease germs and doubtless the germs
of consumption, as it is quite within
the possibilities that some of the 1000
infected cases that DR.. Drake calls
attention to have been living in
houses that will be vacated this
spring.
Renters should make it a matter of
practice to refuse to move into a
house that has not been thoroughly
cleansed. AS a rule, landlords do cal
Gimme and renovate for new tenants,
and while this is effective as far as it
goes, it does not cover everything by
any means. The new tenants should
see to it that the floor are thoroughly
scrubbed with hot water and soap
suds, adding thereto bi-chloride of
mercury tablets enough to make a
strong antiseptic solution. All wood
work should also be thoroughly
washed and houses aired as thorough
ly as possible before occupancy.
Neither should the airing stop after
afraid to open their windows even
during the pleasant months of the
year. Better have a little dirt in the
house and more fresh air.
1t is not enough that windows be
opened. little while in the morning
to air out a room; the. should be
partially opened all day long and all
night, in order that there may be a
free circulation of air through the
rooms at all times. This is a basic
principle of home ventilation and
should never be neglected.
II Chicago, as in all large cities.
there is a tremendous percentage of
the population who migrate annually
between the 25th of April and the 10th
of May. In many cases families move
in on the heels of families that are |
moving out The outgoing tenant |
rarely leaves the place that he is va
eating in good condition TOT the
reason that it is almost impossible to
do so. 1t is therefore all the more |
important that incoming tenants
should exercise every precaution
against possible contagion or infec-
ton.
In this connection, and on the Sub |
ject of ventilation, housewives are
urged to open their win /
dows and doors daily and permit a
free circulation of outdoor air in their
homes. Children and adults should
seek the open air and sunshine as
much as possible. Care should also be
exercised in the matter of dress.
Don't discard winter underclothing
too early for the reason that in this
climate we are still subject and will
be for several weeks yet to- sudden
and violent changes in temperature.
II is never safe to discard winter un-
derwear during the month of April.

A WORD As TO MEDICINE,
Danger in Taking Drugs Not Pre-.
scribed for the User.

1t Is very common thing among
women that they will take medicine
which Is recommended by friends and
also give 1t to their children without
investigating its formula
They will have prescriptions refilled
which another woman's physician has
recommended for her particular case,
or take up what remains in her bot
tie.
This is most dangerous practice,
and should not be continued. II ply
sician has written a prescription for
his patient, he understands her partic-
ular case and is not prescribing for
anyone else who wishes to take 1t.
He may not only give her medicine
for what he thinks she needs, but may
give her drugs which she needs and
knows nothing about.
1t may be something to strengthen
the heart or other organ Of the body,
some drug which would be very harm
ful to another person; or opiates may
be In the formula which would have
an entirely different and disastrous ef-
feet upon another constitution.
1t 1s very dangerous practice for
yourself, but in all common sense do
not give such things to your children.
II your child is sick and you do not
understand what to do, call a physi-
clan and let him prescribe in the right
way. even If 1t does cost more money.
BY this it does not mean that the
doctor has to be called for every small
ailment Of the child. but II the child
is really sick you will know 1t. Do not
risk the child's health by giving it
things which you do not understand
and which may be poisonous to it. You
are running terrible risk by doing it.
