WHO HANDLES YOUR FOOD?


sumes it.
Human hands are frequently dan
gerously dirty when they are sup
posed to be clean. Dangerous dirt
from hands is easily conveyed to
food. The most dangerous dirt is,
as a rule, invisible; the kind that can
only be seen with the aid of the
microscope.
Because this important fact is be-
coming more generally kown, there
is a rapidly growing demand that
those who handle and prepare food
for others to consume must be phys
ically well and sound, that is free
from disease of any kind, and that
their hands must be clean. Also that
they must be clean in person and
attire.
This is why there is now on the
statue books of some of the Amer
lean cities laws providing for the
regular and periodic examination of
those who have to do with the ham
ding and preparation of foods. Laws
of this kind, properly enforced, serve
two important purposes:
~ The protection of hotel. res
taurant and bakery patrons from
many forms of communicable dis
eases.
~ The opportunity for practical
studies of the health of large and
distinct group of workers whose oc-
cupation has a direct and important
relation to the spread of disease.
An idea of the general and wide
spread menace of the spread of dis
ease through those who handle food
may be had from the following para
graph, taken from the paper read by
the Chicago Commissioner of Health
before the meeting of the American
Public Health Association in Washin- |
ton, d. C. Discussing certain strik- |
ing facts that had been disclosed by
the Chicago tuberculosis survey, the
Commissioner said:
"The examination of the employees
of some of the large business houses
yielded interesting and sometimes
startling information. In one candy |
factory where over 1000 people were
employed, examination was made of
$50. Of this number 100, or IA per
cent, were found to be tuberculosis;
this in a candy factory which distrib-
utes its product over almost the en-
tire civilized world"
And then the Commissioner adds
this significant statement: 4
1.-THE same general conditions were
found to prevail in all the candy and
factories included in
the survey"
There is no use ignoring the i'm
oortant fact that we cannot get away
from the tubercular infected person;
hat millions such are now living in
he United States is known to every
,ne at all familiar with the vital
statistics of the various states in the
Union. 1t is also certain that a con-
siderable percentage of these infect
ID persons are, in some way or other,
foods, and in this way, as
veil as by contact and association,
re aiding, innocently or otherwise,
n the spread of this disease.
The tuberculous COW, giving in
ected milk, is regarded as a distinct
md dangerous menace to child life.
But it well may be asserted that, if
My the tubercular COW remeained
o combat as a source of the spread
f tuberculosis, its present wide
pread and destructive effect on the
ickness and death rate of this eoun-

THE VALUE OF CONTROL.

The skill of a golfer is estimated
largely by the control he exercises
over the implements of his game.
Tnis control is an absolute necessity
II one expects to reach a high aver
age OF achievement, and yet perhaps
Few, after all, actually realize it's
value. Control varies to a marked
degree even with the expert, and it Is
TINS variation that has made the game

machine. and a golf course were a
billiard table. then we might have a

lem, out the human equation-the ele-
ment OF uncertainty-is always pres

Control must come from intelligent

proverb that says, Practice makes

golf. No player can jump into cham

because they could not control what
they had. Along came Pat Moran and
his wisdom, and now the pair are
among the best in the major leagues.
Last season Eller in thirty-seven
games issued fifty-nine passes, and
Ring walked forty-eight men in
tv enty-one games. This season it has
been difficult for any opposing bat
ters to reach first via the base on ball
route while they are pitching. and the
same is true of the other members Of
Moran's staff.
The recent games played at the Polo

offers a good example of the control

was played, six with the Giants and

morning at the Oakmont Country
Club course between Robert T.
(Bobby) Jones of Atlanta, and s.
Davidson Heron of Pittsburgh. In
terest in the round was at tense
pitch owing to the stake and to the
extreme youth of seventeen-year-old
opponent. who is but five years Older.
Heron is receiving the local back ,

right to compete for the championship
yesterday when they defeated w. c.
Fownes Of Pittsburgh. and 3. and
j. Wood Platt Of Philadelphia. the

Questions and Answers.

QUESTION-Is it good golf to take
chances in an effort to increase your
lead when you are up on an opponent,
or should you play 1t safe and figure
on holding the lead? (F. d.
ANSWER.-I believe undoubtedly a
golfer should take fewer chances
when he is up on his opponent. All he
has to do in that case is to hold the
lead. Conversely, when you are down,
take longer chances. This is for two
reasons. First, 1t is. probably neces-
sary to overtake your opponent, and,
secondly, a difficult shot well executed
will have an effect on your opponent.

Control Means Practice.

tournament experience counts.
Control Means Practice.
The progress of control is written
on the pages of practice, and at the
present day there are some brilliant
examples of control. 1 suppose no
golfer has ever lived who thinks he
has played a round in which he has
controlled all his clubs, but there is
the Travis with his putter, the Trav-
ers with his run-up iron, the Ouimet
with his midiron and others who have
acquired big regulations because they
really are able to control some par
tfcular club. At the critical moment,
nine times out of ten. they can send
their thought from club to ball, and
land the little white sphere in the
spot selected. I think that each and
all of them have reached this degree
Of skill by hard practice.
II know that any ability to control
my shots has come to me by that
hard route. You have control Of a
club when by long use your directing
thought travels through your arm and
hand to the club as II it were a part
of 1t. and from the club to the ball as
II 1t, too. were but continuation of
the arm.
