Eating Raw Pork Often
Results In Trichinosis

Eat no pork or pork products unless
they are cooked if you would be GER
tain of avoiding trichinosis. This is
warning issued by the bureau Of ami
NAL industry Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
To avoid trichinosis no form of pork
in the raw state, including dried or
smoked sausages and hams, should be
eaten. All pork used as food should be
cooked thoroughly, as trichinae, the
minute organisms which cause this
deadly disease, die and therefore be-
come harmless when subjected to a
temperature Of 40 degrees E. or high
er. The fact that these organisms
may remain alive and active in I'M
cooked pork makes the latter, say de-
partment meat specialists, a menace to
life and health wherever 1t is eaten.
Every one should remember this sim
pie rule of food hygiene: Cook pork
well. A practical rule is to cook pork
until it has lost it's red color through
out all portions or, if trace Of this
color is still present, at least until the
fluids of the meat have become more or
less jellied

Vaccination For Typhoid

Persons living in a community in
which cases of typhoid fever have de-
veloped should be vaccinated at their
earliest opportunity, according to l.. ID.
Bushnell, professor Of bacteriology In
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
There is no law compelling persons to
be vaccinated. If any one desires to be
vaccinated for typhoid fever he must
apply to his physician. Vaccination is
reasonably sure method to avoid ty-
phoid, but it's effectiveness depends to
some extent on the organism used for
making the vaccine.
Vaccination against typhoid fever
consists of the injection Of several
drops Of vaccine under the skin Of the
arm. Three injections, given at ten
day intervals, are sufficient for immuni-
cation. Slight local pain may follow
the injection. In a few cases head
ache may result.

Mothers Doll Story
The Candy Box

There was once big wax doll who
had beautiful clothes and long golden
curls. To tell the TRUTH. she was a
spoiled doll, for her mamma paid her
a great deal of attention, and she had
doll house to live in almost as grand as
the one her mamma lived in herself.
One day when her mamma had gone
to school this wax doll, whose name
was Margaret, left her own house to
go to walk in the playrOOm. Almost
the first thing she saw was a big white
box that she thought would make
lovely trunk.
"Just what 1 need to pack my new
hat with the blue plume in thought
Margaret, tucking the box under her
arm and going back into her doll house
So she sat down in her small rocking
chair and took the lid off the box.
And what do you think was inside?
A boxful of candy that her mamma
had got from Santa Claus.
Now, Margaret liked candy so much
that she ate and ate. She, forgot that
her mamma had taught her that candy
makes stomach aches. She forgot she
was eating somebody else's candy. She
lust ate till the box was almost empty,
and then she threw the rest out of the
window and packed her new hat with
the blue plume in the box.
But soon she began to feel sick, and
when her mamma got back from school
she gave Margaret big pill and put
her to bed till her stomach ache got all
better
