GIVING TO THE NEEDY.

Suggestions have been made in many quarters that this year Christ mas presents be given merely to chi1- dren and dependents, and that the money saved be devoted to helping the needy and suffering. either at home or in Europe.
 It is hardly likely that the custom ary offerings of love and intimacy can be checked even under present cir .cuInstances. At the same time, this is a year when embroidered handker- chief holders and plush photograph albums will go hard Also it is a time when overcoats and sweaters and bar reIs of flour and apples ought to be in unusual demand as gifts.
 There is always too much swapping and trading at Christmas, too nany lavish offerings to people already liv- ing in superf1uity, too little of that generosity that seeks out in their Isolation, the hungry. who are usually too self-respectfng to reveal their own need.

ANTI-FLY CRUSADE
 SAVES BABIES LIVES

@ Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 1.-Report- ing to the American Public Health as- citation here to-day some of the re- turns of last summers anti-hy cam paign in New York city. Philip S. Platt, superintendent of the Bureau of Public Health and Hygiene of the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, declared that vigorous protection against the fly has been proved 8 factor in re- ducing sickness. Among New York's tenement babies.
 The general cleanup of a neighbor- hood, accompanied by a reduction in the number of flies, he said, resulted in one-third as much communicable disease as occurred in a dirty, insan- Mary, hy-prevalent district. But to, determine how great a factor was the fly alone in communicating disease, an intensive campaign was carried out in 1 200 tenement homes. Twelve nurses and three supervisors visited each home every five days. Every effort was made to protect the in- yards of netting were distributed free of cost and hy-killtng was also undertaken systematically. The re-a suits were definitely indicative of less sickness, but general cleanliness seemed to be more important than, simply protecting the infant from flies.
 Over three times as much diarrhoea occurred in the poorly protected dirty homes, as in the well protected. clean ones, he found.

rniles) have been destroyed. Infection was found only & ranches out of 238 formerly infected ,aTrd only 69 infected squirrels. were found as compared to. SOP in 19d2 and AT in 1913. The 21 ranches were comprised in seven foci or localities, situated two in one coun-. ty, one in g. second, three fin third, and one in the fourth county. The per. centage of infection has fallen from per cent. in 1912 and 1.s6 per cent in, 1918, to 0.3 per cent. in 1914. All in- feoted and adjoining property has been hunted intensively from two to five times tats summer and hunters now have to cover an average of 26 acres to obtain one squirrel.
 From the experience gained the fol- lowing facts were elfcited:
 1. Ground squirrels can be so re- duced in numbers that plague can not be discovered among them.
 2. Squirrels have been reduced 90 per cent. over an area of 3, 100 eco acres.
 8. Squirrels have been to all prac-s tica1 purposes, eradicated from an area of 250, 900 acres, which comprised all infected ranches and the ranches inn mediate1y adjoining.
 4. After the completion Of squirrel extermination operations on infected land. in only one instance has hunting of the most extensive character re- xea1ed the presence of plague among the few squirrels that had escaped QSSCTucL1Ons
 In view of these facts 1t is believed that all discoverable p1a g1ie has been eliminated from California, and that, danger of it's further spread has been removed. Observation will be sn1ain4' tained until after the next, breeding season, which begins in April, 1915 anS ends about July, 1915, when-if nc fur cher infection has made it's appear ance-the statement can be made with certainty that no plague exists in Cal .ifornia. e5
 Large economic benefits have accrued to farmers as a result Of squirrel de- struction, and all are now interested in finally destroying these rodents. K,
 The conduct of the campaign has constituted new departure in. sanf- tation. in that about 70 per cent of the money expended by the state will eventually return to the treasury
 From accurate counts kept Of infes- tation on over 9oOs0oo acres, located in different places, 1t was learned that the average fnfestation was 65 s0lIir- rels per acre From this 1t Is estimat- ed that 20, ,150.100 squirrels have been killed on the 3,100, GOO acres treated The average cost for labor and material has been 17.4 cents per acre. i,tS <

tive, and even when it is negative,
 but there is a definite history of ty- pho4d fever. bacterial examination for typhoid germs should be made. Ap- plication of the test could probably be made with little inconvenience in connection with the student dining halls of many educational institutions where proper bacterio1ogic facilities and expert service exist. We know of at least one American university where such a routine examination of the employees concerned in the hand ling of food has been practiced for several years past. The disaster at Lehigh shows that such precautions are Justified, and that with our pres ent knowledge of typhoid causation some responsibility in this regard may be justly expected from college au- thorities. There are also many hos pitals, sanatoriums and public insti- tutions in which the necessary facili- ties and skill for such examinations exist could be readily provided. and here. too, it is true that to be fore warned is to be forearmed. In the future uncomfortable questions may be asked when carrier outbreaks oc- cur in large institutions that are pro- vided with bacterfological facilities.

TYPHOID eaRRHLRs

Now that the quality Of public wa. ter supplies has been greatly Improved and the practice of milk pasteur1za- ton has beenswfdely introduced; out breaks of typhoid attributed to ty- phofd carriers are becoming more conspicuous than formerly, although probably they are not really more frequent. A Remarkable epidemic due to food infected by s carrier was recently reported by Sawyer in re- cent issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, and while this was perhaps excep ptional in the numbre of persons infected at one time, it emphasizes the grave dam ger of allowing carriers to have to do with the preparation ot han ding of food Intended: for genera1 consunap- ton. The still more recent typhoid outbreak at Lehigh University with more than fifty cases and several deaths has been traced likewise oy the Pennsylvanias State Department of Health to a kitchen employee who proved to be a healthy carrier. Such instances-and they are multiplying fast-suggest that wherever feasible, employees Handling foods liable to spread infection should be examined for a possible typhoid reaction in the blood. In case the reaction IS posi-

'sgsnaHarAToN OF GROUND
 sQu1RREns IN CALIFORNIA

Twenty million. one hundred and if 'ty thousand ground squirrels have been extern1inated in California, and Sao0, 900 acres of land gone over since July 6. 1918, by the forces Of the D. s. Public Hea1th Service and the Board Of Health of that state.
 During the epidemic of plague in San francisco in 1s07-1S09. it was dis covered that the ground squirrel. a rural rodent which abounds on the Pacfffc Coast, had acquired the infec- tfon. Cases of plague in human be- ings which had occurred in rural dis tricts were traced to these rodents.
 Since 1908, the chief efforts of the Public Health Service and the Cali fornia State Board of Health, acting in =co-operatIon have been directed tc the eradication of plague from among ground squirrels. The most satisEac- tory work has been accomplished since July 1, 1918, due to the fact that sufi1- oient funds and adequate legislation were provided by the state legislature at it's last session.

GIFT SUGGESTIONS
 FOR mUSlG LOVERS


 If you have 6 music loving friend. fl might be well for you to be guided by the following suggestions, says the PictOral Review:
 Choosing a Christmas gift for a mu- sIc-Iover may be called a 'tproblem'' only because Of the vast array of pos abilities. and not because of any lack of amteria1-s One of the most neces- sary articles for every musician is a music-cahinet. which serves the lou ble purpose of preserving the musical li- brary and keeping it in order.
 A now style of mus1c-cabinet, which is puf6e an Improvement as 1t gives @ greater opportunity for cataloging, g, consists of from 10 to 20 or more flat drawers, one above the other, enclos- ed in 8 wo oden. frame or case, some what like a miniature edition of the fschest of drawers of our grandfath- CTS time. Each drawer is mum bered and is large enough to contain about ordinary sized volumes of bound mu-

MuSie-satcheIs of this kind in imitation leather cost from one dollar and fifty cents to three dollars, in real leather from three to fifteen dollars.
 A Christmas present of tickets to concerts and operas may, perhaps. be a new idea to some readers. This, of course, is available only to those who live in cities; most towns Of any size, however. now have at least one series of. concerts during the winter, the tickets for which are sold by subscrip ton: If a series of thfs skiTld is not to be had, a ticket to 2 single concert or opera is always welcome to a mu- sic-1over.

By means of it you are enabled to study not only the composition itself, in all it's details of form and orchestration, but you are also able to judge more accurately the interpretation given it by the musicians performing g it. They are not expensive and can be obtained through any music dealer.

 4 Many cities are catching rats and are examining them in their lab oratorfes in order to assure themselves that they have no plague as well as to catch the Infection early if it comes but only infected cities and Mobile are rat-proofing their buildings.
 Early in August, the city authorities asked the United States Public Health Service to send them an experienced officer who could advise them what to do, and could organize and begin the necessary work. During the six weeks this officer was on the ground ordinances were drawn up and pass ed. the work of cleaning out the ac- cunulated trash of years, of arousing the people, of rat catching and ex- animation. and rat-proofing was or ganized and begun.

Ciean-u days are are being observed e and a crusade against the rat and the filth on which they: thrive,stssi in progress. Under the ordinance buildings are being inspect ed at the rate ofe1ive or six g. day and detailed instructions are being issued which require that the changes or dered must be begun within forty eight hours. Absolute rat-proofing is required in, that part of Mobile which is between Mobile River and Royal street This street runs in the same general direction as the water front and about four blocks from it. Everywhere within the city limits, stables must be rat-proofeds as well as fy-proofed, and all new buildings or substantial repairs must be rat proofzed.
