MUHLENBERG HEALTH CAMPAIGN.

Every one should realize how i'm
portant it is to not spit any place,
except where it may be dislnfected
at once, for many people have con-
sumption, colds or lagrippe or other
diseases and do not realize it. 1t
is said in the advanced stage of
consumption several billion germs
may be thrown off in day. Hence
1t is important that the patient
should use pieces of cloth or pock,
ct spntum cups until he can burn
them. Either carbolic acid or lypsol
Is good disinfectant in water in
the open cuspidor.
When a man expectorates care
lessly in public, one may say with
Frances Juiett: uOne thing is plain,
either the man is absolutely ignor-
ant or absolutely selfish. Either
he does not know the laws of health
the laws of microbes and the laws
of the country against splitting or he
is willing to run the risk of giving a
deadly germ to his fellow citizen"
The hookworm is about one half
an inch long and lives in the small
bowel. 1t sucks the red blood,
weakens the body and causes a toe
sic poison. The female deposits a
great number of eggs daily, which
are passed out with the bowel move
ment. These under favorable con-
ditions, shady, damp SOIL, hatch In
about twenty-four hours. After
shedding the skin twice, they may
enter the human body in three ways.
They may be swallowed IN contami-
mated food or water, may bore
through the skin of the bare feet,
or be carried on fy's legs. The
way to prevent hookworm is prevent
soil pollution by having sanitay
closets, which may be built with
little expense. So long as excreta
from the bowels or kidneys contain
mate the soil so long will these and
other diseases exist. There are three
general methods of preventing in
fectious diseases. One is to des-
strOy the harmful germs continually
passing out of sick bodies with the
excretions. Asecond plan is to stop
the disease germs scattered by care
less people, from entering the body.
A third means is to develop in the
body tissues a substance which has
the power to destroy disease germs.
All persons may have examined,
free of charge, the sputum or excre-
ia from the bowels, and free treat
ment furnished for hookworm, by
these health workers who are giving
their time and their brains that lives
may be saved, and illness caused by
these preventable diseases, prevent
ed. 1t is the duty of every citizen
to be a worker with them.

ONE would naturally expect the
armies OF civilized nations to re-
spect and protect art treasures, his
toric architecture, libraries and the
like. but one never can tell. One
recalls The naive explanation of the
Norman duke of the middle ages
who was asked by the pope why he
had burned a cathedral. "Why, !
thought the archbishop was inside!"
was the startling excuse. And then
one remembers the barbaric Hop

practice. For instance there is an
advanced step and effort being
made in a political maneuverlng to
get votes and command respect
hitherto unknown to the science of
political tactics. This method is
an adventure of certain individuals
belonging to a new and peIishlng
party. We understand that they
have formulated written pledges
which are privately presented to
voters and they are persuaded to
sign and to obl,gate themselves to
cast their vote for certain candi-
dates for Office. This Is being cum
ningly done in the Land of the Free
and the Home-of the Brave. Now
as to this new device, We doubt its
legal right and authority for such
procedure under our election laws
and discipline, for free and untram-
meled suffrage, such procedure is
simply adroi:ly attempting to bind
free men hand and foot with their
integrity and signature to a pledge
IN order to deliver them to a politi-
cal slaughter pen, like sheep. help
less before their shearers, and can
be put upon the market, sold and
gambled away. The liberties OF
our country give to every individu.
al the right OF free and untrammel'
ed suffrage, so that they can so to
the polls and vote according to theil
own free will and desire without any
restraint or pledged obligation. II
the time has come when voters mus
sign written pledges and obligats
their suffrage for either good will
for cash or any other consideration,
then the American liberty of suff
rage shall cease, and il the pledg.
system should be adopted and pu
into practice by all the politica
parties, then our free governmen,
shall become a farce. We thini
that this new adventure and advanC,
step In politics is sharply a digres
sion from the rulings of free suff
rage. 1t is a bold step towards
usurpa,ion of political power ant
influence, and we consider it a very
dangerous move to put in practic'
and use.

The Experiment Station Record,
published by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture since 1850, is now in
its thirtieth volume, and has gradu-
ally grown in capacity, until it now
consists of twenty numbers to the
year. To anyone who wishes to
keep abreast of the worlds progress
in any department of agriculture
this journal is indispensable, as il
consists almost entirely of abstracts
of current agriculture literature,
drawn from every corner of the
world and from a great number of
languages. Two general indexes
have been published; one for VOL
umes I-I2, the other from I3-a5.
Each of these Is a bulky volume
(the second contains 1889 pages)
and is the key that unlocks a vast
library of agricultural literature.
The Record is more comprehensive
than the somewhat analogous month
ly publication issued by the Inter
national Institute of Agriculture In
Rome, and, in particular, covers
the strictly scientific and technical
literature much more fully.

On January Ist, 1914, there were
1890, ooo telephones in the world,
and 81, 900, 900 miles OF telephone
wire. This country, with 9, 900, 900
stations, owned 66 per cent of the
total number in the world; while
Europe, with less than 1900, 900,
owned about ~ per cent. When
We consider that the population of
the United States is but six per cent
of the worlds population, and less
than as per cent of that of Europe,
our large proportion of telephone
stations makes a remarkable show
ing. New York city alone has
more telephones than Belgium,
Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Nor
way and Sutherland combined
there are NOR: telephones in Chica

This campaign is for the purpose
of locating cases of tuberculosis and
intestinal parasites. especially hook
worm. It is being conducted, no,
only here but all over the state and
other states, for the sole purpose of
aiding those already i'll and that
which is of more importance teach
ing sanitation in the home aad
school, and the causes and pre- event.
ION of these diseases.
DR.. Steele, his assistants, Misses
Peterson and Clarkson, and Miss
Williamson, a visiting nurse, are
giving their best efforts to help us.
They have been in Greenville since
the middle of July. They 60 out
to other towns, churches and scho
houses in the county. They lecture
and show actual pictures, with the
stereoptican, of conditions pro-
duced by tuberculosis and hook
worm. Specimens of bowel move
ment and splttle are requested
brought to any of their appoint
ments and are carefully examined
with the microscope. Free treat
ment is given for hookworm and
advice is given for tuberculosis.
During the Teachers Institute
here, the teachers were urged to
lend helping hand, as they come
in personal touch with the children,
and through them may reach the
parent. A wide awake, progressive
teacher may be blessing to man
kind and DIR. Steele hopes by their
aid, to gain much. This campaign
will close August fifteenth. During
this time they hope to open the
eyes of the citizens as to the real
physical condition of many in the
county, so that every one will know
what these diseases are, their causes
and how they may be stamped out
They have found tuberculosis to
be more prevalent here than else
where in the state. Because it is a
lingering ditease, it Is more expen-
sive from a money standpoint, than
any other. 1t has been estimated
that it costs our country a billion
dollars every year, besides the suf,

ing the germ in dust or dried spu-
tum, by using articles that come in
contact with the mouth, or by drop

Flies may carry it if allowed to
come where the sputum is not disin-
fected or burned. Miss William
son while she is here, or an installed
nurse, if We get one, will teach any
family how to prepare proper food
and bath and rest the patient and
how to prevent being infected them

Shock.

In medical langu &c, "shock"
means the d preston of the vital
forces, both mental and physical.
The condition may result from many
causes, and may vary from a faint
ness and pallor that soon disappear
to a state so desperate that the suf
fercr dies of it, as in the case of
serious accident, or difficult surgl-
cal operations.
Shock may also be the result of
an overpowering emotion, like great
terror. That kind of shock is often
seen in the survivors of any terrible
accident. Many who have not got
so much as a scratch suffer for a
long time from a state of impaired
health: sometimes their nervous
systems are so badly shattered that
they never entirely recover. That
is one of the many reasons why
foolish PRACTICAL jokes are wrong.
1t is not funny to dress up like a
ghost, to jump out on timid children
from behind doors, to play Jokes
with dead mice or snakes. And
such pleasantries are dangerous as
we'll as stupid. Many an unfortun-
ate child has been made the slave
of fear all his life by reason of a
shock that some playmate gave him
in his youth.
The extreme type of shock that
is seen after painful accidents or
surgical operations has its merciful
side, for it deadens the sensibilities,
and withdraws the mind from the
suffering of the body. Sometimes
there is complete Inconsistencies,
and soon if consciousness persists,
the patient is quite indifferent to
Everything. That enables those
who can help, to move the sufferer
and to begin proper treatment. AT,
tel a time that varies with the sever.
ity of the shock, the treatment is
followed by reaction. The stupol
wears off, the patient grows restless,
his pulse gets stronger and slower,
color comes back to his face and
lips and his eyes begin to look more
natural. That means that the vital
force, which was beaten back by
the shock is asserting itself again.
The remedies that the physician
uses are those which will restore
the blood to its normal flow anC
stimulate the vital functions. Fol
shock associated with great loss oi
blood, the best thing is ito injec
salt solution. For shock withou,
hemorrhage, a stimulant of som'
kind Is generally given.

NACO, Ariz., Dec. 26.-It was believ-

Americans here from the rifle fire OF
the two Mexican belligerent factions
at Naco. Sonora, across the border,
which resulted in the killing and
wounding of more than fifty persons
during the past few weeks, and Great
ed such tense situation that General
Hugh l.. Scott, chief OF the United
States army, was sent to the scene,
was ended by the removal this after
noon of the Villista force under Gen
erai Maytorena to position out Of
rifle range of the town.
Maytorena's movement Of troops
was believed to have been made as
the result of an agreement with Gen
eral Scott, who interviewed him yes
terday. Early today it became known
that several bombproofs Maytorena
had constructed in front Of his lines,
had been destroyed. Shortly after
noon it was noticed his first line
trenches had been deserted. Later on
his commands moved in detachments
to a new position he had chosen. May
torena's removal, 1t is believed here,
was distinct triumph for General
Scott's diplomacy.
