FOOD, FINGERS AND FLIES.
Three of the Factors Most Active In
Spreading Disease.

Spreaoing Disease.
There are three principal ways In
which disease germs are carried from
person TO person. and these Ways may
be easily remembered by three catch
words food. hngers and ties.
The most important foods which car
~ disease are those which are enteu
raw. since thorough cooking DESTROYS
disease germs and most cooked foods
are only dangerous when they nav 1
been infected in the kitchen after cook
ing. Among raw foods. too. many, like
oranges, are sate because they are
peeled before eating.
of all foods the most dangerous are
water and milk, because they are OF.
ten polluted tby sewage In the case Ut
water. by human contact in the case
Of milk. because they are drunk
promptly without time for the disease
germs TO die out and because. usually
in the case OF water and often in the
case of milk, they are not COOKED.
The second way in which disease
germs are commonly spread Is by
means OF contact between people them
selves. Fingers, in the catch phrase.
which all who value their health should
try 10 bear in mind. stands NOT only
for the fingers themselves. bur for all
sorts Of ways in which disease germs
may be exchanged.
In measles and whOOping cough and
scarlet fever and diphtheria and tuber-
culosis and many other diseases the
germs are present in the nose and
throat and are spread from person to
person by the fingers. which go too OF.
ten 10 the mouth and nose. by drink.
ing cups and spoons and other things
which too often are used In common
and by the fine spray thrown out from
the mouth in coughing and sneezing
In typhoid fever and diarrhea and sim
liar diseases the germs are found in
the intestinal discharges. and here. too.
soiled fingers play an important part
in the transmission OF the disease.
The third common way In which dis
ease germs are spread IL by means of
insects. Flies are perhaps the most
important insect germ carriers in most
states. They often pick up infected
material ON their legs and bodies and
carry 1t TO food, and where there is NO
good system OF sewage disposal they
may play part in the spread OF such
diseases as typhoid fever. A certain
kind Of mosquito carries malaria. and
this. too. is important in certain dis
tricts. In tropical countries whole
host Of diseases is carried by insects.

MAKING a Record.

Sir George Trevelyan told curious
little anecdote regarding an interview
ne had once mad with Thackerhy. The
novelist WAS engaged at the time Ia
writing THE Virgininns," and in the
middle of the conversation he com
menced to ask each OF the young men
in the company what was the greatest
length they had ever jumped. The
greatest jump claimed was twenty-five
feet.
"Well." said Thackeray. then will

LIVE LIFE PRESERvERs.
canaries In Coal Mines and White
Mice In Submarines.


In coal mining the great danger to
rescue parties. after a disaster from
1redamp within the mine. has been
that there has been no known way of
detecting when the rescuers are within
the danger zone Of the deadly gases
until it was too late-until the rescuers
suddenly tumbled over, unconscious
and dying from the deadly fumes. For
the gas Is odorless and tasteless, and
there is no known chemical method of
detection.
But some one discovered that the
canary-the ordinary little yellow sing
ing bird-was peculiarly susceptible to
the effects of this gas. For four or
five minutes before the gas reached a
strength sufficient to overcome human
beings the little canary birds toppled
off their perches. insensible. Accord.
ingly. all rescue parties that now enter
the coal mines carry with them several
Of these little life preservers in wire
cages. These they closely watch as
they make their way into the danger
GUS sections of the mine, and as soon
as one of the little feathered singers
becomes insensible they seek safety at
once. Not, however, before they have
transferred the little fellow into q
cage charged with life giving oxygen,
which Immediately restores him to his
former well being. for they are CRATE
fully mindful of their debt to him.
In the submarines of our navy a
deadly gas is formed that affects the
occupants much as the gas in coal
mines affects the miners and rescuers
and is equally difficult of detection.
In this case some one discovered that
the white mice. especially the breed
called dancing mice" that may be
seen In any animal dealers shop, were
as susceptible to this deadly gas as the
little canaries were to the coal mine
gas. Accordingly. every submarine
now carries as an essential part Of its
equipment cage Of these little dane
ers. When the boat Is running be-
meath the surface-which is the time
and condition when the deadly gas is
formed. due to the action Of the chemi-
Gals used in operating the boat-these
little mice are carefully watched. When
one Of them is overcome the boat Ell
ther rises to the surface and pumps in
a supply of fresh air or, If that is i'm
possible. oxygen is liberated from the
liberal supply Of tanks carried on
board until the mouse reyives. The
oxygen is then cut off. for an oversup-
ply Of 1t is likely to work harm among
the human beings compelled to breathe
1t too freely.-New York Post.
