SCREEN INVALUABLE
INGyARDINGHEALTH
Principle Of the Screen should pc
Used Literally says the Georgia
state Board Of Health.

Atlanta, Gait is time to begin us
ing the screen, says the Georgia State
Board Of Health, using It literally and
effectively in preventing the spread Of
contagion and in checking the car
riers OF it.
There is no more vitality important
element in the protection Of health
ana the prevention Of disease than
the screen; and under this designa-
tion may be included not only the
window and door screens Of the
home, but the proper screening Of the
well, the clubhouse, the manure pie,
against the spread Of any infection.
1t is better and safer to go without
chairs or even without beds and sleep
on the door, than 10 live in IN.
screened house. Flies, mosquitoes and
other insects are known carriers Of
disease The special function Of the
fly IN the scheme of nature, seems 10
be to keep typhoid gems in circula
ton, gathering them upon filth and
depositing them upon food in the
kitchen or dining room wheace they
are taken into the body through the
mouth. Flies are known, too, to con
yey the germs Of dysentery and in.
fantile paralysis, as has been dis,
covered by recent investigation.
A particular kind of mosquito, the
anopheles, is known beyond question
to be the only means by which the
germ Of malaria is conveyed from the
body Of one person to that of another
Therefore, it is most important TO
exclude flies and mosquitoes from the
home. Every opening in the house
should be screened against them.
When flies do get a chance to get in,
they should be caught in trap or on
sticky fy-paper.
Stop Fly5reeding.
Not only should the house be
screened against the entrance Of the
common fly, but the barnyard manure
pile should be screened against his
breeding. Ninety-ave per cent. or
more Of all the flies are bred in the
manure pile; effectively covering it so
as to exclude flies, is the only method
of preventing fiy-breeding.
1t is most important, therefore, to
screen the priyy against the fly; and
it is equally important to build it so
that the contents cannot pollute the
soil. Every farmer knows shat after
pasturing cattle or hogs on the same
ground for two or three years, the
animals began to lose their health;
many Of them will sicken and die.
The reason of this is the production
in the animal of disease germs pecu-
liar to it, and the dissemination of
these germs on the ground whence
they find their way into other and
healthy animals causing sickness and
death The same is true DIS to man;
continued pollution OF the soil by man
renders it unsafe for him to live upon
because Of disease; and to maintain
health and retain life, he must guard
against it
Essential to Health.

against flies and ground pollution IS

Essential to Health.


The sanitary privy screened, both
against flies and ground pollution is,
therefore, most essential in the small
towns and on the farm, where sewage
systems are impracticable; and the
content should be removed to a dis
lance from the home and the well al
least once a month, and buried two or
three feet under ground.
Every farm house, every country
school and church should be provided
with thoroughly sanitary privy, built
according to approved plans, and ar
rangements should be made to have
it kept in clean and sanitary con
dition, so as to make soil pollution i'm
possible. A single unsanitary out
house OF this sort, polluting soil and
water. may spread contagion and dis
ease TO an entire community; in fact,
many instances are known where this
very thing has happened.
1t is impossible to describe in detail
the proper plans and method for the
construction of a sanitary privy in
the space of this article; but there
is nothing more important to health,
particularly in the rural districts. The
state board Of health will be glad to
furnish upon application and free Of
cost, plans for its inexpensive con-
struction
The screen, too, should be applied
to the well, the source Of drinking
water. The day of the odd oaken
bucket, is past: the only thoroughly
safe well today is that located beyond
the possibility of the seepings of filth.
1t should be walled with masonry and
then covered over the top with an
arched covering Of cement or CON
crete, through which is inserted a
pump for drawing the water The
entirely covered well and pump, is
the only safe and sanitary water sys-
ten for the farm. the country school
and the country church; otherwise by
one means OF another, infection from
fifth may at any time get into the
drinking water
The liberal use Of the principle Of
the screen is urged by the state board
Of health in keeping out flies, mos
ouitos and other insects: in protect
inc milk. drinking water and all arti-
cles of food. Only in this way can
immunity from typhoid. dysentery,
malaria, infantile paralysis and kin
dred dangerous diseases be insured.

Rabbi Abram Simon addressed an oper
meeting of the Young Women's Hebrew
Association in the vestry rooms of the
Eighth Street Temple last night.
k He applauded the energy displayed by
the young women IN the forming of Their
society, and told them that women today
had greater opportunities for doing good
than ever before. He said their society
should make its first aim that of acting
the champion and protector of the weak.
er women.
Rabbi Simon suggested the formation
of Bible class among the members OF
the Y. W. II. A. and the Y. NJ. H. A,
which should meet weekly or biweekly
for the purpose of study of this king
Of Books" He offered his assistance in
the formation of the class. AT the con-

They Arc Allowed to Operate Across
Potomac, According to Decision.

Official recognition of the right to con-
duct loan business just across the Po-
tonac River, though this, may be an
evasion of the loan shark law" re-
Gently passed by Congress, was given
by the War Department yesterday in
passing upon an application submitted
to 1t by Crandal Mackey. attorney for
the Commonwealth of Alexandria
County, Va, in behalf Of two District
pawnbrokers for permission to place a
board platform on the west side of the
Virginia approach to the Highway
Bridge over the Potomac River, in or
der to give access to and egress from
their property. On opinion of Judge Ad-
-voeate General Crowder, U. s. A, that
the business was legal. granting of the
permit was recommended by Col.
Cosby.
Corporation Counsel Thomas holds
otherwise than counsel Of the War De-
partment. He stated yesterday that he
will take into Police Court the first case
that comes to his attention. where an
applicant for a loan in the District of
Columbia has obtained this money at
rates higher than allowed here by get
ting this money from branch offices Just
over the river. Mr.. Thomas indicated
that he views the establishment of these
offices as an evasion Of the law, and that
he will use the first opportunity to test
the law in this respect.

DAVIES READY FOR JOB.
Democratic Committeeman to Ne
Commissioner of Corporation.

Joseph p. Davies. secretary of the
Democratic National Committee. and
member OF the committee from the State
Of Wisconsin, who was nominated re-
Gently for Commissioner OF Corporations,
arrived in Washington yesterday to
take the oath and assume the duties
of his Office. His nomination has not
been confirmed by the Senate. but II was
stated that IL would undoubtedly be con-
firmed at an early executive session.
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin has
been urging the confirmation and appeal
ing to the Republicans to cease their op-
position. Senator La Toilette has given
Mr.. Davies a high testimonial as to his
character.
Davies came prepared to take the office
regardless of whether he had been con-
firmed or not. He has been assured that
under the wording of the act creating
the Department OF Commerce that the
office of Commissioner of Corporations
does not require confirmation by the
Senate. Doubtless the realization OF this
fact by Republican Senators has led to
the abandonment of the fight against
Davies confirmation. The opposition to
him was not based on any personal OBJ
lection from the Republican side. but
active politics; has indicated no dispo-
sition to resign from the National Com
mittee, either as secretary or a MEM
Der, and there Is a feeling that the Of
fee Of Commissioner of Corporations
ought TO be kept free from practical
politics.
