Pine Bluf-..From Health Standpoint Being the Report of Survey by Experts of the Delin

production and handling of foods in Pine Bluff. During the recent survey an inspection was made of 46 food stores. Of these, 22 were groceries eight butcher shops, one delicatessen three bakeries and twelve ice cream and soda parlors and restaurants.
 Foods intended to be consumed raw or without further cooking, were found to be protected from flies and other insects in 36 instances, and un- protected in ten. Protection from dust was not good, inasmuch as fifteen of the stores employed dry sweeping, Thirty-one either sprinkled or used some other means to prevent the dis semination of dust. Refrigerators. shelves, showcases and other places where foods were stored or exposed for sale were clean in 37 instances, un- clean in nine. In three cases, living rooms opened directly into the stores. This facilitates the contamination of food and should be guarded against by suitable regulations.
 The worst conditions found in these places related to the washing facil- ities for food utensils and toilet and washing facilities for employees. In both cases, only 25 of the 46 stores were, adequately supplied. In view of the fact that the most dangerous con- tamination to which fods are exposed is that due to unclean human contact, it is seen how important it is to en- courage cleanliness among food hand lers and to afford every facility to this end. With inadequate opportun- ities for washing, with unclean and ill kept oilets, or where prives exist in proximity to these places, there is always opportunity for dangerous pol lution, and regulations designed to cov- CT these shortcomings and which should include provisions for inspect ion of all stores and other places handling foods, is strongly indicated.
 These same regulations should re- quire examination, for the presence of communicable disease, of all employ ees, as prerequisite to their employ ment, and there should be given au- thorty for re-eXamination, whenever it is indicated that such course is necessary or desirable.
 Through such means only may cer- tain diseases commonly transmitted by foods be controlled, and the public receive the protection to which it is entitled.

Sanitary Conditions Affecting Infant
 Mort alifx

Sanitary conditions affect infant mortality. although not as directly as does the care which mothers and ba- bies receive in the home.
 The quality of the milk supply IS particularly important because for some time after weaning milk is the source of sustenance of the child. If it is dirty or decomposed the child suf- fers. Therefore, the way that milk is produced and handled on the farm, the manner of transportation from farm to consumer, and the care that it receives after delivery, are all matters which demand thoughtful attention.
 Water is used by all, and if it is impure will produce sickness in the home; perhaps making the child it. self ill, or perhaps it's mother, in eith- CT event the child suffers.
 The sanitary importance of dirt is hard to measure, partly because diff ferent kinds of dirt are of unequal importance. Good clean soil is not harmful in any way, although it may make a child's appearance unattract- i've. On the other hand, dirt of any sort that contains fecal or urinary dis charges is dangerous, and so dirt that contains putrescible matter of any sort. The danger of dirt is increas- ed b., the fact that flies swarm to filth and distribute it over the food, perhaps infecting it with disease germs that they pick up. A city with unscreened privies, and yards Uttered with garbage, is apt to have an ex- cess of intestinal trouble.
 Besides flies, mosquitoes are the cause of disease. Infected individuals of a certain species transmit malaria, and of another yellow fever. Mos quitoes breed in stagnant water, there fore the danger of mosquito borne sickness may be averted by keeping all parts of a city we'll drained.
 The safe way is to keep the prem ises and city in which one lives clean, sweet-smelling and dry. If this be done, it will be a pleasant place in which to dwell and will acquire a rep utation as desirable place for home, which will make it a valuable asset Accordingly a careful study of the more important sanitary conditions of the city has been made.

American Cambrai Heroes Tell
 Of Experiences i'm Big Fight

Paris, March 23.-(Correspondent to the Associated Prcss) s)-Twelve American railroad engineers who were wounded while taking part i'll the big British offensive near Cam brai in November last have been brought to the American Red Cross Hospital No. ? here where artificial them.
 All are suffering from serious wounds but will recover. They are in good spirits and proud of the fact that they were the first of the sol diers of appreciation of the treat ment they received in the dressing g station behind the lines and at tAe army hospitals.
 Sergeant Frank Haley, of 103 East Ninety Seventh street, New York City. one of the wounded men said, concerning his experience:
 We were doing general engineer ing work behind the British lines. Before the attack we unloaded and assembled several hundred tanks, made a special roadway for them and helped to get them into posi- tion. When the attack began we fol- lowed the British troops, rebuilding the railroad to Caanhrai which Fritz blew up during his retreat. The ar tacking troops moved so fast and we worked so hard that we were able to hook our end of the railroad line to the Cambrai and because, toward the last, Fritz retreated so rapidly that he did not have time effectively to destroy the road.
 "A few days after the initial a;- tack our company was near the front doing yard work. Shells mad been falling heavily all day. We were or dered to return ito our billets. q started walking down the track when suddenly l felt a powerful prod in my back. l thought 6 railroad train had struck me. Down went with three wounds in my back. scrambled up again and found l could not use my left arm.
 "I ran seventy-five yards and then gave up. Just as they were lifting me into an ambulance for the ride hack to the base. we heard the wrir- ring sound of a machine-gun. l felt snarp pain in my head and saw that one of the Tommies had been hit in the mouth. "A Boche airplane had spotted our ambulance, swooped down, and fired a round of machine-gun bullets one of which had given me scalu wound while another hit the Br. soldier. He was not stunned and did fall but grasped the rear end of the ambulance and said, I guess I'll ride to the hospital with you
 Charles Geiger of No 2235 Fuller ton avenue, Chicago. was prison CT in the hands of the Germans for twelve hours
 We were up near the front line when the shells began droppins heavily" he said. We were orderea to take refuge in dugout and re. mained there for some time but came ! out when the bombardment ap- parently was over. As we emerged we saw. not fifty yards away, an ad- vancing line of sray-green figures. flt was Fritz. He had counter at tackled. We just turned and ran. can hear the bullets whistle vet. Sun denly my left foot craumpled and ov- CT fell. As l lay there, the Ger mans came up and swept past.

SWIMMING SEASON A BIG ONE
Indoor Sport Expected to Gain Rather
Than to Lose as Result Of Euro
pean War.

The indoor swimming season Of
1917-1S, just opening, will gain rather
than lose, as result of the war. AL
though many expert swimmers are in
the service, there are enough star wa
ter men left to put up lively competi-
ton. The ranks of the woman SWIM
mers have not been affected by the
war, and many new mermaids have
made their debuts in the tanks. Col
leges and high schools all have
planned for a big swimming season
and the open field swimmers are like
wise preparing for keen competition.
In the ranks of the American Aquatic
union are enough youngsters and vet
Grams to guarantee lively matches
throughout the season. The general
slump in other sports, swimmers be-
lieve, will bring aquatics to the fore.

In the old days when we didn't have
much money, but had muscular shout
ders and wore stout jeans, we had no
quarrel with the silver dollar, says the
st. Paul Dispatch. When we possess
ed money 1t was comfort to hear 1t
Jingle, to feel 1t weighing on our gal
luses. But since we have become pros
porous we have put away our desire
for the physical evidence Of money.
We want something that does not wear
holes in our modern effete pockets. We
want something which does not make
us round shouldered to carry about.
And so has spread the custom OF
the one-dollar bill. The cartwheel was
first banished from the East. Now 1t
is possible to trade almost anywhere
in st. Paul and get your five-dollar bill
changed with paper ones. In the small
er towns, the towns Of the frontier and
the West, the ponderous coin, support
ed by the muscular shoulders, the stout
Jeans and the galluses, is still toler-
ated.
But the demand for paper dollars Is

SURE CURE FOR MANY ILLS
Bowling is Recommended as Exercise
Just Suited for Men Of Sedentary
Occupations.

The diseases due to faulty living
habits, overeating and underexercise
are on the Increase. ~,
Affections of the heart, blood vessels
and kidneys are responsible for the
high death rate in the middle of life.
A man should be at his best between
the ages Of forty-five and sixty-five,
physically and mentally.
Men must learn how to play. We
ought to know more about sane recre-
alton. The interest taken in golf and
tennis is good thing but very few
have the time for these short season
outdoor games. Eighty per cent of the
men employed in the city work during
the day. Their only recreation is in
the games or sports that can be played
during the evening.
The 20 per cent who are financially
able to participate in outdoor sports
should assist in providing recreation
for the majority who have assisted and
are assisting in making their invest
ments profitable.
Encourage clean, healthful indoor
athletic sports. Every man that reads
knows that exercise is necessary, but
very few become interested in gym
nasium work. They will not saw wood
or walk to work, but will everlasting
ly stick to fascinating game If there
is any benefit to be derived from it.
Heart disease, paralysis, Bright's dis
ease and cancer are the enemies of
middle life and old age. "How shall I
live in order to avoid these chronic
diseases?" The general answer is-Ex-
ercise.
Try bowling for what ails you.
