T ale of a Pin
Bv DR., SAMUEL C, DIXON
Comn;ss;oaes of Health d Pennsylvania

The pin is born with millions Of
brothers and sisters, who leave home
to travel to all parts of the world. On
their journey they come in contact
with us human beings and it might be
interesting to take up, what some
times happens when they do SO.
Suppose pin found its way into
(. the laundry of a shirt manufacturer.
We would be likely to hear Of it, first
in the mouth Of one of those folding
the shirt and preparing it for ship
ment. This pin, as well as others,
might perhaps be making its first in
innate acquaintance with the germ
that produces sore throat. The shirt
gets to the consumer who starts to
make it ready for use. For the sec
ond time the poor pin finds the human
mouth again, its abiding place. Pos
sibly this time, it gets into an ulcerat-
ed mouth, thence it gets into the pin
cushion or some other receptacle.
The persons who handle these can
not recognize disease germs by the
naked eye, and therefore the pin with
its cargo of germs Is ready for new
service. This time, perhaps, by
dressmaker, if she has the bad habit
already alluded to, she fills her mouth
with these pins while she cuts with
her patterns and fits various pieces
together. This time for variation, the
pin may have found lodgment in
healthy mouth. Nevertheless it is not
a pleasant fault,> when you know the
pins history thus far. to think Of any
one making such use Of them.
Many a mother who uses pins in
fastening child's dress together, does
the same thing. BY this time in the
pins life history, 1t is quite well armed
with spores Of germs and really is
accountable for much harm along its
path Of travel. And now as it is get
ting old and about ready to close its
life, little child may be stricken with
tOnsilitis or diphtheria or even scarlet
fever, because some of these diseases
are easily communicable from throats
so recently. affected by the disease that
the danger Is not recognized. The
presence OF the germs that have been
referred to on the pin, is real dam
ger, as the physician or laboratory
worker knows he can take these germs
from pins in everyday use, and plant
them in foodstuffs that will make them
grow and multiply in great numbers;
colonies can be seen by the naked
eye and they can be injected into
other living beings and produce dis
ease. u.I N...
The habit Of putting pins into the
mouth would not continue for mo-
ment II everyone knew this. m
The moral of this little stofy is,
never hold pins in the mouth as they
spread disease, even fatal disease.

"Sick" Pump Doctored at
Long Distance by the Aid Of
Record Made on Phonoqraph

1t Is related that one of the big
pumps at the Elk River (Cal.) pump
ing station got out of order. Just
what caused the difficulty no one at
the station could tell. 1t had been
made years before by New York
company. Now the question was how
to get it repaired. To call a man
across the continent for the purpose
would be expensive, and happily bet
ter device was thought Of.
A phonogrnph was called into requi-
sition. The manager spoke into the
receiver, describing the symptoms Of
the ailing pump, and further to indi-
cate the case, he placed the receiver
so that the pulsations Of the pump
could be recorded.
Just us physician listens to the ac-
ton of the heart or lungs in the human
body by means Of a stethoscope, SO the
pump doctor listened by means of q
phonograph to the throbs and pulsa-
tons Of the pump thousands of miles
away, and was enabled by that means
to diagnose the disease.
A number of persons listened to the
strange combination at the New York
office Of the company. The voice of the
Californian from the phonograph was
heard first, giving in Il clear, precise
and distinct way, the symptoms of the
pump. Then was heard the b-r-r-bang
b-r-r-r-bang Of the pump, and an occa.
sional wheeling sound which might be
made by escaping steam.
The engineer to whom the phono-
graph was submitted said that the
whole record was so perfect that he
felt tempted sometimes to ask ad.
ditional questions. The experiment
proved absolutely successful. The
proper remedy was suggested, and the
pump was soon running "as good as
new"

TT has been said that a nation can

you will find that individual is devoid
of many of the finer things that go to

to take cruel delight in making his
better half jealous. He wants her to
realize that she has prize whom 9TH
er women covet. In his blindness re-
garding womens nature he is of the
opinion that she will appreciate him
the more. It does not occur to him for
an instant that quite the reverse is
the case. He usually finds out too
late that suspicion and torment can
wear out and eventually oust the most
romantic love. TrIe love exists only
where there are peace of mind and
content. The woman who has flirt-
ing mate Is fearful of growing old and
losing her charms. She is always on
the keen edge of worry, trying to
guard against heart stabs This sOurs
her disposition and congeals her worn
anly love for other women. No mat
ter how greatly some beautiful wom-
ans personality may appeal to her,
she is more than apt to rcpel that 9th
er woman's appeal for friendship. She
knows why. From the altar to the
grave, the wife of the flirting husband
knows little peace.
When girl has falling out with
her flirting beau and he turns from
her to the charms of another she may
cry out in agony that heaven was un-
kind to her. whereas heaven was most
kind in saving her from an after life
full of torture, had she been granted
her hearts desire. The flirt should
marry a girl who is not averse to the
flirting game herself. They could take
turns on keeping tabs on each other.
He would know that she could not tlirt
long after arriving at that turnstyle--
fair, fat and forty. She could not
have that assurance regarding him.
He might cast Sleeps eyes even at
eighty.

TREATMENT OF GUINEA FOWL
Birds viii Stand Cold Weather Welt
It Provided With Plenty of Food
and Dry Quarters.
(By A. J. LEGG

(By A. J. LEGG)
The guinea will stand a cold winter
all right, provided it has plenty OF
good. wholesome food and dry quar-.
ters.
If they are caught out in snow.
storm there will be trouble to get them
back and safely housed, as the guinea
is very much like the ruffed grouse in
this respect.
When the guineas are caught out IN
the snow, instead of going back to the
poultry house. they will rise, fly and
light on the tops Of buildings, in the
tops of trees, or wherever they can see
lighting place above ground.
When there is snow on the ground
l keep the guineas shut up in the poul
try house, and If they are cauRzN out
in a snowstorm, l entfce item by
means of food to alight in shed OF
some building where there is no snow
to prevent them.
If the birds are scared they are near
ly sure to go in the opposite direction
from the one desired and often alight
high, even if they do not have to alight
in the snows
They will do well shut in the poul
try house for several days, during a
storm, or even for weeks.
Damp quarters and neglect to feed
literally when they cannot gather
their own food, will cause disease In
time, and may cause them to freeze
to death in cold weather.
Plenty of feed, such as is good for
chickens, and water will keep them in
good condition.
Naturally they prefer insects and
will go after them much better than
chickens.
