HINTS;

Infectious or contagious disease are
spread by means Of minute particles
Of matter called germs. These are
given off from the body OF the diseas
ed person and may be passed from
infected persons to furniture and
clothing or find their way out into wa
ter, food, air and may be introduced
into the system by breathing. eating
and drinking or through the skin.
Here is the way the more common
diseases are spread:
Small pox-From the pustules. The
contagion is very diffusive and con
tinues for long time in the scab.
Scarlet Fever-From the mouth
throat, nose and skin and from the
breath and saliva.
Diphtheria-From discharges of the
mouth. nose and throat. The spittle
wet or dry is very dangerous, as par.
ticles Of the membrane may be carried
and impart the disease at a great dis.
lance.
Measles-From the mouth, throat,
and skin. Very communicable from
the breath when laden with infectious
pultiSico cApGlcu III SOu6ulu6.
Whooping Cough-From the spu-
tum. Infectious particles are expell.
ed by coughing and carried through
the air.
Typhoid Fever-From discharges
Of bowels and urinary organs. Water.
milk and food absorb and convey these
discharges.
Consumption - From the spittle,
Dried spittle forms a very frequent
source OF infection in this disease.
Typhus Fever-From the breath di.
rectly and by eruption.
Yellow Fever-From the clothing,
utensils, ETC., and by insects.
Cholera-From bowel discharges.
Sore Throat-From the breath by
inhalation or by contact.
Mumps-From the spittle convey.
able at short distances.
Skin Diseases-FrOm cloths, towels,
combs, brushes. etc.
Sore Eyes-From discharges, con.
veyed by towels.
Pneumonia-Believed to be convey.
ed through the spittle.
HEALTH QUESTIONS ANSWERED
L. J.-"Please recommend a way OF
fumigating a room to destroy tuber.
culosis germs after a victim Of that
disease spent several hours in it."
Plenty Of fresh air and sunlight will
do better than fumigation.
