EPIDEMIC CEREBRO-
 SPINAL MENINGITIS.

The appearance of cerebroSpina1 meningitis in serious epidemic form in Texas and sporadically in numeF- ous places in other states has inteusi- fled interest in this dangerous disease In the last issue of the Public Health Reports is timely paper by pr. W. H. Frost which covers the history as well as our present knowledge of this disease. Through the studies of re- recent years four vital points concern ing this disease have been practically settled, namely, the identification Of the causative organism, the diagnosis by examina ton of the spinal fluid. it's effective treatment by the antimen- ingitis serum and the location Of the infective agent in the nose and throat of many healthy carriers FlHegge says that healthy carriers are ten times more numerous than recognized eases of meningitis, and are more than lection for others It will thus be seen that a determination of all car riers by examination would be a most difficult matter, while the rigid quar- antine of either houses or cOInmuni- ties on account of -cerebrOspinal men ingitis seems ordinarily unJustified. BacteriOlOgic examina ton for the pGr- pose of discovering all carriers would be impracticable and if this could 6e carried out they would be difficult pf control. There are. however. some general measures that will undoUbted- ly aid in preventing the spread of this disease. says The Journal of the AIleIlce4n N1euIcal aSSOcI4 liNLi- -AlLltIlI8 them are the early diagnosis and iso- lation of suspected cases and prompt serum trea trnent. perhaps in special hospitals during epidenIes- The fol- lowing of proper hygienic Tegulat7ons bv individuals no doubt will aid The infective agent is found only in hu- man beings and is believed not to survive long after separa tiOn from the host Notwithstanding this fact. how ever it's somewhat cratic spread dur ing epidemics is still much of a mys- tery.

A Fourth Of July Nsrning
BY Ole o Roe,
State Fire Marshal.

The Glorious Fourth is near
at hand. Inasmuch as it's cele-
oration is always attended with
the use of some form of fire
works, / deem a word of G. u
ton in order.
More than 200 persons die;
the fingers or eyes of more
than 1000 children are destroy
ed, and more than 600 buildings
are burned annually in the
United States as the result of
the careless. use of fireworks on
the Fourth.
The small fire cracker burns
more houses then any other
form of fireworks, and the
balloon is a most dangerous fire
producer.
The common sky rocket will
set fire to any inflammable
matter into which it may fall.
More incendiary fires occur
on the Fourth than on any
other day.
The Fourth is the ireman's
busiest day.
THE REMEDY is CARE. !.
Never allow fire crackers or
any other'kinds of fireworks to
be exploded or thrown in the
back part of the yard, in back
alleys, in or near barns or close
to buildings containing infiam-
mable matter.
Do not let young children
handle fireworks; impress the
Older children with the danger
of it.
Remember that all fireworks
contain dangerous explosives
and should be handled with
the greatest care.
Removeiall rubbish and all
dry grass and other infiamnable
substances from your premises
before the Fourth.
Be patriotic, but let your
patriotism be tempered with
caution and common sense.
Make it a "Safe and Sane"
Fourth.
