Health Notes,
Wars greatest ally is disease.

Wars greatest ally is disease.
Public health is purchasable and
it is the best bargain ever offered.
The keynote of the present cam
paign for public health is education,
More than $50 cities in the United
States now have bacterial standards
of milk.
New York City is sending 1900, 900
units Of tetanus antitoxin month TO
the warning nations Of Europe.
Fenereal diseases constitute prob
ably the most important factor In the
degeneration and depopulation of the
world.
There are 1000, 900, or four out Of
every 100, IN the United States, who
are victims of morphine, opium or
cocaine
The aggregate cost Of illness, due
to occupations alone, In the United
States amounts to $772, $50 and
this is for the most part preventable.
In New York City 1t was found
that 80 per cent of the children liv-
ing with tubercuous parents were
also affected with the disease.
The people of the United States
and Canada spend over $4,000. 600
on patent medicine every year. Most
of this patent medicine contains mar
cotic drugs and many contain alcohol
to develop the LIQUOR habit.
Inspection of housing conditions
should never be neglected by wide
awake health department; this should
be done no matter what size the city
is; it Is one Of the greatest eppor-
tunities a health officer has at his
command to bring better health to
the community.
The following is warning from
Buffalo, N. Y: A state law should be
passed compelling parents to consent
to the use Of antitoxin for their chi1-
dren even though they don't wish 1t
used upon themselves. II the chill
dren were of age they would prob
ably demand 1t. II child commits
a crime the parents don't have any
thing to say about its punishment;
the courts take charge.

Notes on Health and Sanitation
GET RID OF FLIES.

NOW is The time to begin the fly
~ campaign. Just because the
house fly disappeared with the ad-
vent Of cold weather, do not consider
him gone for good.
Maggots hatched late in the season
may hibernate in manure, and the
adult fly may hide in crevices. All
possible breeding places, such as man
ure piles, garbage and refuse dumps
should, therefore, be eliminated at all
times Of the year, while a thorough
house-cleaning and fumigation is as
necessary in the Fall as in the Spring,
so as to kill the fly in his hiding
place, whether crevice, attic or base
ment. Big flies show a preference
for undisturbed warm places during
the cold weather.
The more flies sheltered during the
Winter, the more you will have to
start with in the Spring. Don't think
you are exempt, for no house or stable
Is now entirely free from flies.
Don't forget that the common
house. fly lays over 100 eggs at a
time, during the laying season in the
Spring; these eggs hatch in about
eight hours into larvae (maggots)
and IN about 10 days into full-fledged
flies.
Don't fail to do your share toward
this great work Of preventing nearly
all forms of contagious and infectious
disease, viz: diphtheria, smallpox,
scarlet fever, tuberculosis tconsump-
toni, typhoid fever, all forms Of dys-
entery and other intestinal diseases.

FIRST-AD PACKETS.

EIRST aid packets, in the present
1 European conflict, as in the Span
ish-American and Russo-Japanese
wars, have played very important
part. German physicians writing
from the front. comment very favor
ably on first aid packets with which
the German soldiers are provided. The
packets are fastened on the front Of
the coat instead of being carried in
an inner pocket, as the French SOL
diers carry theirs, SO that they are
quickly and easily accessible to the
German bearers of these packets. The
United States soldier carries his fas-
tened to his cartridge belt or waist
belt, which too, is very handy for
quick use. The first aid packet is
surprising all expectations. One ply
stefan mentioned typical instance OF
peritonitis In a case of abdominal
wound with protrusion of the liver.
These or similar packets should be
ready at all times in every household.

Under Penalty of Disease.

Splitting on sidewalks. streetcars
and other public conveyances as well
as the floors not only is prohibited
by law, under penalty Of fine and i'm
prisonment. but also under penalty
of disease.
Consumption germs left in public
places are almost sure to be carried
on shoes and trailing skirts into
private buildings and homes; they
may be carried by flies, blown about
in the air, in dust and in many other
ways spread where they may cause
sickness and death.
Not many people who have tuber-
Gle bacilli consumption germsl in
their mouths know it. You may have
them in your own mouth, hence do
not endanger your fellowman by the
vicious and filthy habit of pernicious
eXpectoration.

Wrapped Bread Better.

The Kansas State Board Of Health
has recently made some interesting
experiments-in testing bread wrapped
and unwrapped. The tests were
made for the purpose of ascertaining
the correctness of claims made by
bakers that the wrapped bread did
not keep, soured sooner, became
mouldy, lost moisture. and finally
cost too much. Summarizing the re
suits obtained, the report says, we
found that the loss in weight for the
unwrapped loaf was about twice as
great as for the wrapped loaf; the
acidity (or souring quality) remained
practically the same; the STABILITY
was prolonged 10 twice the ordinary
period. Wrapping improves the
flavor"

Cancer Is one Of the chief causes
Of death. It claims about 73,oO0
lives every year in the United States.
At ages over 40 the disease causes
one death in eight among women.
and one death in IA among men, At
ages over 40 1t is a greater menace
than tuberculosis or pneumonia.
Much IS known about cancer, but
the present knowledge is not suffi-
ciently utilized. Cancer is not a con-
stitutional or blood disease, but is at
first a local growth which can, at
that time, be easily removed by
nrompt surgical operation.

They may be grown in almost any
location where plants are wanted,

been a greatly increasing tendency
toward the more general use of these
materials, which should be commend
