the manufacturers of clothing are also
among those in dangerous occupations.
Among cigar makers there is a high
mortality due to the irritating effects
of tobacco upon mucous membranes;
but the bad air and insanitary condi-

are the greatest factor.

COUGHS AND KISSING

Droplet infection, that is to say, in
lection during the so-called dry cough
through the expulsion of small par
ticles of bacilliferous saliva, may
cause either ingestion or inhalation tu-
berculosis. The remedy for it is to
teach the patient to hold his hand or
handkerchief before his mouth when
coughing or sneezing.
Against the danger of infection
which may arise from kissing, or from
the use of the spoons, forks or glasses
of consumptiVes without having had
them thoroughly cleaned in boiling wa
ter, education alone can serve as pre-
ventive.
A child should be taught not to put
any articles in his mouth which may
have been in the mouth of another. He
should be plainly told that to swap
apple cores, chewing gum, half-eaten
food, whistles or bean blowers might
give a disease not only tuberculosis,
but also diphtheria, whooping cough
or measles.
One thing must always be remem-
bered. without the hearty co-opera-
ton of the patient no appreciable re-
suit in the prophylaxis of tuberculosis
can be obtained. The consumptive
should be made to understand that by
helping to remove various causes of
infection whereof others may contract
the disease, he also lessons the danger
of he himself becoming reinfected.
Those living and dealing with the con-
sumptive should be firm when firm
ness is needed, but should be kind to
him always and bear in mind that the
honest, conscientious consumptive can
be very safely associated with. To
treat him as If his presence would
mean danger is cruel, unwise and in
humane. The more kindly he is treated
the more willing will he be to obey
the instructions appertaining to pro-
MISUNDERSTANDING.

LAXATIVES

M. A. Mortenson, in Good Health, ad-
monishes that laxatiVes have their plal e
in the treatment of constipation, but
should be taken under the care of
competent physician. The average in
dividual goes to the drug store and asks
for a laxative of some kind and usually
the druggist gives him something that
is rather vigorous in its action, and the
acute condition is relieved, but the
bowels are left inactive for two or three
days and the dose has to be repeated.
This method simply fosters the consti-
patton and the taking of drugs, and it
is no unusual thing to have patient
say he has used scores of different
kinds of laxatives for years and still
suffers with his trouble. If laxatives
are used at all they should be mild in
nature and taken in small doses. Per-
haps one of the best remedies known
is some preparation of cascara, and In
chronic cases this should be taken in
small doses after each meal and should
be persisted in for some days.
The object to be attained is the
execution of the bowels in frequency
and quantity approaching the normal.
After this has been experienced for
few days the dose can be reduced
greatly, and in many cases this suffices
to establish the habit of regularity
The natural means of combating con-
stipation should be combined with the
use of the laxative. The carrying out
of these various means to combat con-
stipation will usually result in a cure,
unless it has become so persistent and
obstinate that a diseased condition of
the lower bowel exists, such as
chronic catarrh or colitis. Here local
measures must be instituted, and to
overcome this condition of the bowel
competent physician should have
charge of the case, and if properly
managed, with a large amount of
patience, good results are sure to fol-

ELECTRICITY AND HEALTH

1t is not certain when electricity be-

medicine date back as far as the
knowledge of the phenomenon itself.

THE COMMON HOUSE FLY

The name "house fly" is unlike
charity, for charity is said to cover a
multitude of sins, while the term
"house fly" covers a multitude of sin
ners. In other words, there are num-
Der of more or less, mostly more, trou-
blesome and annoying insects which
are included under this general term.
The careful observer of these insects
frequently notes flies much smaller
than others and he generally assumes
that these small flies are young and
will eventually grow as large as the
others. This, however, is not the case,
as the small flies represent an entirely
distinct species and there are two or
three other species of flies which do
not differ appreciably in size from the
more abundant house fly.
1t is now an established fact that
the more common species of house fly
is an important factor in spreading a
number of diseases. Among the dis
eases which are spread by the house fly
may be mentioned typhoid fever diph-
iberia, scarlet fever tuberculosis, pos
sibly smallpox and maybe several
other diseases. 1t is so well known
that the fly is so important a factor
in spreading typhoid fever that some
public hygienists have seriously pro-
posed that the insect be known here
after as the typhoid fly" The object
of giving it this name is to impress
upon all the danger of this insect.
In the past when we were less clean
ly than we are at the present time it
is quite probable that the fly did
considerable amount of good in bring
ing about the destruction of organic
matter which otherwise would have
slowly decayed in the streets, but with
our present habits of public and do
nestle cleanliness the fly is to be
looked upon as an unmitigated nuis-
ance. Like other evils by which we
are confronted. it can be eradicated
only by an intelligent comprehension
of its source and cause.
The common house fly lays about 100
eggs every time that eggs are depos-
tied. These eggs are laid in decayed
organic matter preferably around sta
bles. In six or seven hours the eggs
have Matched into tiny grubs AS the
grubs increase in size their skin cracks
open and the young animals creep out
of their old cases and make rapid
growth before the new skin forms, and
when the new skin develops this one
cracks off as did the previous one. In
this way the larvae attain their full
size in some five or six days when the
weather is ordinarily warm. When 1t
has attained its full size 1t forms a
very thick skin or case in which 1t
remains five or six days more. Dur
ing this time it undergoes a series of
rapid changes and as a result loses its
worm like form and energies from it's
case (pupa case as it Is generally
called a full-grown and fully devel-
oped fly
1t is needless to call attention to the
fact that no filth is so repulsive as
to repel the fly; that in filth of all
kinds it becomes infected with bac-
terra, which it readily transfers to ar
ticles of food and even directly to
the human body. It is obvious that an
intelligent campaign against flies

GIVES CLEARWATER A HINT.

Thusly does the editor of the Min
ing News hand 1t out 10 Clearwater,
one OF the principal stopping places
on the road from the outside world
to the mines:
In order to keep history straight,
SO that it might be of some use In
the future, we wish to recall a few
facts. Three years ago the state
legislature appropriated $4,000, to be
expended in improving the road that
leads from Clearwater to Elk City.
The bill that secured the appropria-
ton carried with itsa provision that
the people of Idaho county should
raise for the improve ment a sum
equal to that appropriated by the
state. That was har ID thing to do
that year. Commercial bodies, cities
and individuals, some far beyond any
direct benefit to be derived from
the enterprise, were appealed to for
assistance, and the writer, as secre-
tary of the organization formed to
raise the fund, knows how near the
enterprise was to failure. Grange
Vile gave $1,000; Lewiston gave $50;
Sites and Harpster gave $3.50; Elk
City, Orogrande, Dixie and Newsome
gave close to thousand dollars
What did the public spirited, enter
prising business men of Clearwater
and the farmers around Clearwater
give toward the Improvement of their
mountain road? AS WE recall, they
gave less than 500. Yes, Clearwater
gave less than $40 in cause that
would make 1t the best kind of a
market for it's produce.
Nobody here is envious of the
prosperity that falls TO Clearwater
from the mining districts. But when
roads and trails are to be built into
mining country in the future, Clear
water can at least show its gratitude
for past favors by. helping the cause.
