A Case of Sunerheroism.

William Mitchell, an Englishman,
was drowned recently In the Thames,
while attempting to save q fellow
c%ountryman. The British Medical
Journal calls his act n Of super
heroism, and for this reason:
Mitchell was d consumptive who
had been undergoing treatment for
several months, this treatment con-
sisting of having nitrogen gas pumped
into his thorax--a painful, tedious
operation. He had undergone II of
these treatments, the last one just
before he took the fatal plunge.
1t was not a cast Of a doomed man
risking a life already forfeited, how
ever, but quite the contrary. For
Mitchell had just been told by his
physician that 10 more treatments
were necessary-that his tdbercu-
losis had been conquered. He had
left the doctors office, therefore,
with a new and hopeful outlook on
life, although he was still SO weak
that he could not make any unusual
exertion without shortness Of breath.
Yet he did not hesitate to plunge to
the aid Of a drowning man-an act
which he must have known meant
certain death.

Notes on Health and Sanitation
FLOUR AND APPENDICITIS.
FEW years ago when the

A FEW years ago when the cpl
"A demic of appendicitis started in
America, later to become almost as
prevalent in Europe, all manne OF
things were suggested as causing the
infection. None of these vas salts
factory; and the actual cause Of this
prolonged epidemic is still puzzling
the surgeons. Recently attention has
been called to the fact that the ap-
pendicitis epidemic began just after
the introduction of new process"
flour in America-that is. flour made
with steel rollers instead Of the old
fashioned m~illstones. And that as
this new American flour made its
way into Europe, appendicitis became
increasingly prevalent there.
The question has been raised,
therefore, as to whether this new
kind Of flour is responsible for the
epidemic, and if so, in what way?
A writer in the Medical Record
has recently offered an explanation.
Since in the process of making the
flour by the new method, minute par
ticles of steel must inevitably get
into it, he suggests that possibly these
particles lodge in the appendix occa-
sionally, or in its immediate vicinity,
and form foci Of Infections which re-
suit in appendicitis.
1t should be understood, of course,
that the case against the steel roll
has not been proven, and is offered
only as a tentative suggestion. Never
theless it is a fact that the popularity
of steel-rolled flour and appendicitis
developed at about the same time.

Sudan Grass Adaptable.

Sudan grass is by no means limited
to Texas, but may be grown success
fully all over this country from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Two
cuttings of hay may be had the same
season in Virginia. 1t does we'll in
Oregon, South Dakota, Minnesota and
Ohio, where tests have been made.
Alabama makes good report on Sudan
grass, and Kentucky paintings yielded
a fine stand and good seed crop. In
Maryland the dairymen are much In
terested in Sudan grass. In Califor-
MIA and Florida 1t will grow through
the average Winter. The greatest
yield of seed 80 far has been made
under irrigation in Colorado, Cali
fornia and Arizona, the maximum be-
ing $3.50 pounds per acre.

COntagion From Body Eruptions.

Since the skin eruptions of certain
diseases such as smallpox transmit
the contagion, it Is a natural as
sumption that most of the other erup-
tive diseases are also transmitted in
this manner. Such does not appear
to be the case, however.
Thus the desquamated skin of
scarlet fever during the "peeling"
process has long been supposed to
be peculiarly infective; and the fine
scales from the eruption of measles
were also strongly suspected. But
it seems pretty clearly determined
now that the infections of these two
diseases are only transmitted
through the discharges from the
membranes of the nose and throat,
and suppurating ears.
The discovery that diseases are
transmitted almost exclusively by d.
rect contagion makes 1t certain that
clothing and baggage are rarely, If
ever, agents of such transmission.
The only reason for fumigating such
objects, therefore, is on the supposi-
ton that they may have come in
contact with some of the %secretions
of infected persons.

Poisoning From Cheap Dentistry.

Besides being responsible for I'M
necessary extractions, improper
treatment, and disfigurements, in
competent and INSCRIPTIONS dentists
are responsible also for a still more
dangerous condition, copper poison
ing. This poisoning may be caused
by bridge work or crowns made Of
gold and copper alloy Of inferior
quality.
There appears to be no danger
when the alloy contains the usual
percentage of gold. But when the
amount of gold Is small there Is
danger of copper poisoning in a
chronic form, which is a serious con
dition not readily detected. Profess
sor Erich Hamack, of Germany, has
Just reported cases of this type of
poisoning which resulted from the
absorption Of copper from bridge
work made Of an alloy which was
only eight carat fine" When this
cheap bridge work was moved, the
symptoms Of poisoning quickly dis
appeared.

MONEY DISEASE DISTRIBUTOR.

n MONG the numerous evils for
~ which money has long been held
responsible is included that of trans
hitting disease. On general princi-
piles it seems that an old, begrimed,
greasy bill must be loaded with dead
ly disease germs, particularly when
We remember the questionable COM
pany it keeps during its peregrina-
tons. And yet some exhaustive in
vestigations made recently prove that
even very dirty money is not an I'M
desirable commodity, at least from a
sanitary standpoint.
Theoretically" runs the report Of
this investigation, dirty money, espe-
cially paper currency, handled by all
kinds of people and by people suf-
fering from or in close contact with
contagious diseases, should transmit
disease; but it has not been found to
do so. Bank men and Treasury De-
partment men who handle large
amounts of gold and dirty money do
not contract disease. This does not
excuse the disgusting practice of
putting coins in the mouth, or of wet
ting the fingers with the tongue in
counting bills"
Apparently, then, the diseases that
money %engenders are of a moral,
rather than of bacterial nature.
1t is true, however, that many
kinds of bacteria are found on bills;
and also on stairways, balustrades
and car straps. But fortunately such
bacteria are of the harmless variety
almost without exception.

Sugar in the Antarctic.

Sir Ernest S~hackleton, the antarc-
tic explorer, has recently reported
some interesting things about foods
and diseases observed in the Antarc-
tic. He has this to say:
ITO show you how valuable sugar
is to the explorer, there was an &C.
casion when we marched 321 miles,
drawing laden sledges, in IA days and
a half. Every two hours we each
took two or three Jumps of sugar.
Within 10 minutes of eating them we
could feel the heat go through our
bodies. The highest temperature of
that march was 62 degrees below
zero.
Catching cold is almost un-
known in the polar regions. The
only time we ever suffered from colds
was just after We had opened a bale
of English clothes to serve them out
for Winter wear. The germs, ap-
parently, were lying dormant among
the clothing. They woke up on be-
ing heated. The men whose duties
took them into the open recovered
in a day. The others suffered for
four or five days."

Cause of "Gift Spots"

Most persons know tina. the little
white spots found in the %fingernails
are known as gift spots" But the
cause of these familiar little giftlets
is often a mystery.
In some instances these spots ap-
pear to be congenital, and have no
significance whatever so far as can
be a~scertained. In other cases the
spots make their appearance after
severe illnesses, such as typhoid
fever, malaria, or certain types OF
nervous diseases. .
Many cases appear to be caused by
assiduous m~anicuring, where the
cuticle knife is used rather too freely.
In such cases the spots disappear
when the severe manicuring Is dis
continued and sufficient time Is given
the nails to grow out.
However, there are certain cases
that cannot be accounted for on the
score of severe illness or manicuring
cases in which the spots make
their appearance, and persist, with
out any apparent cause, in nails that
have been free from them hitherto.
But 1t Is strongly suspected that In
these instances the spots are an in
dication of a rheumatic or equity
tendency, as the spots sometimes
disappear when the underlying con-
dition is treated.

GOOD POINTS OF SHROPSHIRE
Ewes Are Excellent Mothers, Are Gen
tie and Easily Handled-Lamb ls
f. Favorite In Market.

Mr.. Herbert E. Powell, Ionia, Mich.
in letter to Farm Home gives the
following reasons for his preference
for the Shropshire breed of sheep.
1. The Shropshire ewes are good
mothers under adverse conditions and
make friends of their keepers.
2. The Shropshires are the leading
attractions at the fairs in the sheep
department both as to numbers and
nice fitting. The Shropshire when
properly cared for makes fine pic.
ture and is a work of art either in pas.
ture or the show ring. =
8. The Shropshire is gentle, easily
handled and a pet with the man fit to
care for sheep, and great contrast
to the wild Merino.
4. The Shropshire lamb is the lead
ing favorite in the market, and sells to
the best advantage as soon as it is
large enough to dress we'll. The big
ger the lambs the better they sell,
provided they were well fatted. The

UTILIZING THE BACK YARD

The problem of combining some
semblance of design with the uses to
which the average city back yard Is

the elevated in summer and consider
the acres of waste land and the count
less wasted opportunities in those sad,
hot, dusty back yards. Think of the
tons of delicious vegetables they
might have raised, the lovely flowers.
Gracious; let's not think Of it any
more-let's get out our seed cata-
logues and pencil and paper and plan
to have our back yard an oasis this
summer.
Here are suggestions for the plant
ing Of very small yards. The design

shrubs and flowers, the whole COM
plete1y hidden from the street by the

The yard is s71kx6o feet and has a
small cold frame at right.
In the cold frame can be raised the

SHEEP KILL HARMFUL WEEDS
Generally Agreed Animals Eat All But
Few of the Exceptionally Un-
palatabe Varieties.
(By E. L. SHAw.)

It has been estimated that sheep
will eat 80 per cent of all troublesome
weeds. They are, in fact, commonly
used in cleaning up weeds from fields.
fence rows, road sides, stubble fields,
and corn fields. The common belief
among farmers is that weeds eaten
by sheep are so broken up in the
digestive processes that the seeds will
not germinate after passing through
the body as in the case of other live
stock However, weeds are rarely
permitted to go to seed if enough
sheep are turned in the field while
the weeds are young and tender.
In some investigations carried on by
the Canadian government among a
considerable number of sheepmen to
determine the kinds Of weeds eaten by
sheep, 1t was generally agreed that
sheep would consume all but few
exceptionally unpalatable ones, such
as MULLEN, Scotch thistle, etc.
Where sheep have been kept, but
where for some reason they have been
disposed of, a striking difference has
usually occurred.in in the appearance of
the farm. Weeds have sprung up and
grown where they had formerly been
kept in check. There is no better So
luton to the weed problem than a
flock of sheep.
In economy of production sheep are
not surpassed by any other domestic
animal. Besides converting waste
products into nutritious food they will
also manufacture finished product
out Of the roughage and grain of the
farm at least as cheaply as other
classes of live stock.

of the little rustic pergola dividing

Grass surrounded by flowers and
shrubs would be employed to make
the little flower garden in front OF

Protecting Trees on Highways.

A movement for law prohibiting
the mailing of advertising signs on
trees on the public roads of Rhode
Island, inaugurated by the National
Highways Protective society, is deserv-
ing of encouragement. Trees are val
liable property. Nails and spikes
driven into their trunks invite decay,
and the signs, besides being offensive
TO the eye, afford refuge for insect
pests. The state law proposed has the
merit of protecting the trees from in
jury and of making the roads more at
tractive. In five states laws against
this kind of outdoor advertising are in
force, and it is stated that the restric-
tions meet with general approval
