FARMERS
WILL BE GUESTS IN TRIP TC
WOOSTER TUESDAY
Chamber of Commerce Secures over
100 Men for the Journey-Lec-
turers Will Instrust At State
Experiment Station

The chamber of commerce trip to
Wooster experiment farm for Tues
day is an assured success. Between
125 and $50 men have signifled their
intention of going. The crowd will
leave the public square at $3.50 in the
morning and will go directly to the
experiment farm, The directors of
the experiment farm have arranged
for their lecturers to start with the
crowd at 10 a, IN. Arrangements have
been made for dinner at 1890 at the
two hotels, where the crowd will be
the guests of the Mt. Vernon chamber
of commerce.
The committee on arrangements re
ports that this project has met with
the greatest enthusiasm among the
farmers, as very few of our farmers
have visited the state farm. Every
farmer in the county seems to be in
terested in better farming and the
chamber of commerce feels that il
can do nothing better to help farm
ers of Knox county than to make this
trip to Wooster.

There was time when people at
tributed epidemics to the direct in
tervention of providence. They would,
for example, drink polluted water
or eat diseased meat and then blame
it to providence when they got sick.
For many people that day is past, al
though the notion still exists here and
there. In one place where the state
board of health held free clinics for
tuberculosis, one old lady deplored
fact that people should put any faith
in the doctors. She declared that
tuberculosis was a scourge sent by
God and that it was next to sacri-
legious to try to cure it, and actually
dragged out Bible text to prove
her point.
But the average intelligent man or
woman does not look upon it in that
way any more. And yet, the average
community acts good deal like the
old lady with her Bible text. The
average community, the state health
workers have found, is in fearfully
poor condition as far as sanitation

is concerned, and yet people wonder
where epidemics come from. The
average Michigan city tolerates dan
gerous dump-heaps and cess pools
that make one wonder where peoples
eyes are. And this filth and care
lessness is responsible for most Of
the epidemics that. periodically visit
the people.
When dump-heaps and cess-pools
are mentioned, typhoid fever and
other diseases Of that nature are
usually thought Of. But it is q fact
that such conditions are one Of the
causes Of the spread of tuberculosis.
A tuberculosis family throws its gar
bage or its cast-off clothing upon
the city dump-heap. Dogs and cats
prowl there and children play there.
The tuberculosis germs find a favor
able soil in the dirt Of the dump-heap
and the children carry them away.
or the cats and dogs carry them to
the children. And in addition to
causing other diseases that weaken
peoples bodies and thus reduce their
resistance against tuberculosis.
In practically all his talks through
out the state in the anti-tuberculosis
campaign DR.. VIM. DeKleine en-
phasizes the fact that cleanliness is
one of the main essentials in avoid
ing this disease. All other things
being equal, the Clearly person has a
far better chance to escape than the
person who is careless about his per-
sonal habits; and the cleanly city has
big advantage over the city that
neglects proper sanitation.
