An Ounce of
Prevention
BY DR.. SAMUEL G. DIXON
Commissioner of Health of PennsyI
Vania.
E4EE:sE's..s..s,.s..E .s.4.4Fs.4..E4.EF.sssisE..E

Before the causes of disease were
known or the practical application of
natures ways of producing immunity
to disease, we had to suffer an attack
of sickness and then trust to drugs
and nursing for cure.
This was a difficult task and the
death rate was sometimes enormous,
both in times of peace as well as Of
war.
Then the day of prevention came.
Gradually the laws of nature unfOlded
until today we know methods of pre-
venting diseases and antidoting the
poisons generated by germs in the
body.
1t was even as late as the Spanish
American war that we lost more SOL
diers from preventable diseases than
we did from bullets. This was a dis
graceful thing, as sanitarians could
have prevented the high death rate.
From what we can learn through the
newspapers and other sources, France
today is short of disinfectants in her

public excitement over this condition,
or any concerted action of our good
citizens to give their mites to pur-
chase and transport disinfectants for
the French trenches SO as to prevent
disease.
Therapeutics or drug treatment
seems to continue to have hold on
the lay mind, and possibly, to some
extent, on the medical mind.
Both the people at home in every
day life and the soldiers in our army
are much to blame for the sickness
that exists. The medical professions
advice is not taken when these per-
sons are well, but the moment they
get good and sick they call "Oh, doc
tor, do relieve me from this awful
pain" or ooh, doctor, save my life y -
Perhaps this call comes too late. A
few words of prevention from the doc
tor to the patient, and those few words
obeyed, might have prevented the sick
ness and saved suffering and sorrow.
Do not let US lose sight, individually
or collectively, of preventing diseases
both at home and in our military
camps, let them be where they may.

400 pounds. The grains, if properly
cured, are not broken by this pound
ing, although it would crush to pulp
any other cereal. From these NOR
tars the rice is removed to flour
screens, where the whole grains are
separated from the flour and chaff.
During the various processes the rice
becomes heated through friction, and
at this stage it passes into cooling
bins, where 1t remains for eight or
nine hours. 1t is then passed over
brush screens, where the smaller rice
and -four are separated from the larg-
er kernels. The grain is now ready
for the polisher, to give it the pearly
luster.
The polishing is done by friction
against the rice Of pieces of moose
hide or sheepskin, tanned and worked
to a wonderful degree of softness.
These skins are loosely hung around
the sides of a revolving cylinder con-
structed of wood and wire gauZe.
From the polisher the rice goes to the
separating screens, which grade the
rice for the market.
Rice is a member of the grass fam
lily, and there are numerous varieties
cultivated throughout the world. AS
it is the principal food Of a large pro-
portion of the earth's population. rice
growing is one of the Oldest agricul-
tural industries known to man.
The average annual imports Of
cleaned rice into the United States
is about 125,0O0,0O0 bushels, and that
of broken rice, flour and meal, over
100000 bushels more. The demand
for the better qualities of rice in this
country has always exceeded the sup
ply, and now that this country has
been called upon to feed large pro-
portion Of the warning nations, the
rice growers of the South and of Cal
ifornia are assured of q ready mar
ket for their supplies.

The Mark of Honor.

He marches down the street
With a proud and martial eye,
And the people turn about
To watch him pass them by;
And his head Is held erect,
In his spirits high command,
For a badge upon his arm.
He wears the khaki band.
He steps out free and firm
With swinging to his tread,
And an eagernSss to serve,
From the courage in him bred
BY the men who went before,
Who it's freedom won the land;
Now he's treading in their steps
For he wears the khaki band.
He's the soldier of the flag,
Ready for its sake to go
Where the call of duty sounds,
Fit to meet and fight the foe;
We are proud, as forth he comes
From the homes all DER the land,
With high courage in his heart,
On his arm the khaki band.

POULTRY POINTERS

Remember, milk is meat when 1t
comes TO feeding chicks or hens.
The best eggs for Matching come
from flocks that have free range.
Watch for head lice on the ducks.
If found rub top of head with small
piece of lard free from salt.
It is a good plan to force egg pro-
duction.> but nature may be material
ly aided by good feed selection.
The production of ducks especially
should be emphasized at this time, be
cause of the rapidity with which they
grow.
A laying hen is nervous; if she is
frightened or even startled much. there
Is apt 10 be a miscarriage o. eggs.

been the best they have yet given and
the patrons in Lamar are well pleased.

of holding it has not been so favor
able as in most years heretofore. 1t
came at time when most Of our
farmers are too busy with absolutely
essential work on their farms TO get
off for the day programs and many
could not come often even at night,
and our blue law ordinance would not
let the program be given on Sunday
which would have been the big day.
Beginning last Saturday afternoon
there have been regular programs
afternoon and evening each d. y but

the town have been highly compli-

pany, but for some reason it seems
to have been distinct disappointment
for the baldhead row. Much interest
has been manifested in all the num-
bers however and the several pro-
grams yet to come before the close on
Friday evening promise to continue
the interest until the last.
