Most Authentic Information Of How te
Avoid Disease.
The following information about
cerebro- spinal meningitis-how the dis.
ease is transmitted and precautions to
be taken in order to avoid infection-is
taken from bulletin by r. H. Won Ez-
dorf, U. s. public health service, and
should be read carefully:
/. The germ which causes epidemic
cerebro- spinal meningitis has been
found only in the human body.
2. Healthy persons may carry the
germ in their nose and throat with
out ever developing the disease. Such
persons are known as carriers. There
are about ten carriers to every case OF
meningitis In an infected locality.
8. The measures for lessening the
spread of the germs Of this disease are
as follows:
(a) The nose and throat should be
kept clean. For this purpose cleans
lhB Dt uSeu.
(b) Careful attention to personal hy-
giene, mainly cleanliness. Avoid chill
ing the body and other depressing in
iuences. Dress to meet the changes
in the weather.
(c) Avoid close contact with per-
sons. Healthy persons who are car
riers may innocently transmit the
germs. which may be in their nose
and throat. by coughing. sneezing
kissing. talking, etc.
(d) Children should not use articles
which may have come in contact with
the mouths Of others, such as pencils
particles Of food, drinking cups, hand
kerchiefs and the like.
(e) Cleanliness Of premises and
free ventilation Of houses are neces-
sary. The germ Of the disease is east
ly killed when exposed to drying and

thoroughly ventilate and expose to
sunlight all occupied rooms.

SAVING OF FATS.
Much Waste Can Be Eliminated With
Proper Care.

The food administration is urging

Many households have already
abandoned the use of butter in cook

shortening intsead.
Scientific experiments have proved
that the energy value of the various
forms OF fat is about the SAME and
the choice between them is merely Il
matter Of individual taste in fiavors.
The laboratory Of the United S..-tes
office of home economies has made
Il number of experiments in the rem
dering Of small quantities of fat
which may be easily applied by the
housewife in her efforts TO save for
use the leftover fats OF her kitchen.
