LIST OF HEALTH RULES
What To Do and What Not To Do, by
Harold Wood.

Harold b Wood, city physician,
probably will not contend that good
health is the result of worry. He has,
however, prepared a list of health
those who attempt to keep all of them
constantly in mind. They are as fol-
lows:
Your health is largely under your
control.
Avoid exposure to cases of conta-
gious diseases.
Many diseases are transferred from
the mouths of people.
Avoid public drinking cups, public
towels and cigar clippers.
Don't put INTO the mouth anything
which has been in the mouth of some
other person.
Don't kiss sick persons.
Don't ret them cough against you.
( tuberculosis comes from the spit.
Don't spit in public places.
Typhoid fever comes from dirty
hands, dirty food, dirty drink
Open dug wells are dangerous
Sterilize and repair them.
Typhoid fever may be avoided by
getting Vaccinated.'
Report all cases of contagious dis
eases to the health officer.
Keep your teeth in repair and in
good care.
A filling in time saves nine-espe-
cially for children.
Have your children in good cOndi-
ton before school opens.
Vaccination is safe, harmless and
prevents smallpox.
Be sure your babies are registered
with the state board of health.
Mothers milk is meant for babies;
cows milk for calves.
Don't give the children the food of
an adult.
Avoid fried food.
