Dr.. Bra dy's Health talks
WHY FUMIGATEf

Eight or ten years ago DR.. c. V
chaplin. superintendent OF Health.
Providence. II. l., concluded that fumi-
CATION after contagious diseases was
useless. and he discontinued the prac-
tee III Providence. Without going into
statistics we may simply add that the
rite has never been resumed
In October, 1911. the practice Of
fumiGating premises after contagious
disease was discontinued in the Bor-
oughs of the Bronx, Queens and Brook
lyn. in New York City. with the ex-
ception of smallpox. And IT has not
been resumed to date
The truth of the matter is that IL
cases of contagious disease receive
ordinarily good nursing and medical
treatment, as the community is bound
10 supply for its own welfare then
there is no good reason why the
premises should require fumigation.
Indeed. actual tests have shown that
tho customary method Of fumiE Eating
rooms with formaldehyde vapor fails
to Kill known cultures of disease
germs placed in the rooms If that Is
true, what futile effort fumigation
must be.
But even If the horrendous odor
of formaldehyde were enough to kill
disease germs in the room. there is
no good evidence that there are any
disease germs left in the room TO be
crly cared for. Thousands of bac-

Why fumiGatc them?
because wc haven't the moral cour-

MENTED STEPSON.

The people of Mulberry were
shocked to learn that Mr.. W. P.
Knapp, one of our respected citizens
had suffered wounds from knife
welded by his stepson, demented
boy of about fourteen years.
The unfortunate affair took place
at the home Of Mr.. Knapp, in East
Mulberry, last Monday evening and
Mr.. Knapp suffered great pain until
medical attention was given him.
The knife wound is just above the
heart, and while his condition is SER
ious 1t is hoped that he will come
out of the affair safely. Many of
the neighbors are of the opinion that
the boy should be placed into some
institution where medical skill and
attention might correct the boys
condition. 1t would not be surpris-
ing II such an attempt were made
to so place this unfortunate child.
The sympathy of the community
goes out to Mr.. Knapp and his fam
ily.-Mulberry Herald.
