Dishwashing Danger

For many years it has been a not
uncommon procedure on the part Of
those in charge of men on shipboard
and in barracks to boil the mess gear,
with a view to stopping an epidemic
Of sore throats. But it seems to have
been left to two army surgeons, Col
onel Charles Lynch and Lieut.. Col.
James 6. Cumming to make the
first comprehensive studies tending
to indicate the extent to which dish
washing as commonly practiced in
public eating places and in our
homes may serve TO spread contagi-
Gus diseases of all sorts, including
colds, sore throats, influenza and
pneumonia.
This dishwashing process is the
hand method, the dishes, glasses and
other eating utensils being made ap-
parently clean by being soused and
swabbed in a pan of water not too
hot to prevent the dishes from at
least being fshed out of the dish
water by the dishwasher's bare
hands. A temperature in which the
dishwasher's hands can be put is not
hot enough to kill disease-producing
bacteria. AS eating and drinking
utensils contaminated with bacteria
from the hands and mouths of those
who have used such utensils are
successively added to the dishwater
the bacterial content steadily in
creases. Cumming found as many
as 25, 900 900 organisms in quarter
Of a teaspoonful, Of such dishwater.
Besides the supply Of disease or
ganisms derived from contaminated
eating and drinking utensils all sorts
Of organisms are added to the dish
water from the dishwashers own
hands. These are almost sure to be
contaminated with whatever organ
isms the dishwasher may be carrying
in his own mouth or nose, and such
contamination will be increased if
the dishwasher has cold.
While consistent efforts will be
made to protect patrons Of public
eating and drinking places, the trail
of dishwater infections leads US right
into the home and points to the ne
cessity of decided dishwashing re-
form in the average home itself. III
is very easy TO point out ways in
which home dishwashing may be
made safe, but what is really needed
is some practicable scheme or appli-
ance which will appeal to the ordin-
ary housewife and mother through
relieving the present home dishwash-
ing procedure Of its drudgery and in
cidentally serving to prevent an in
fection from running from one men,

tire family

At Home and Abroad

An Eastern Oregon man has just
returned from an extended trip to
Scotland and England and he brings
back most interesting report Of con-
ditions as he found them there.
Those conditions were much better
than he had expected to find them,
for he had anticipated a serious
shortage in many things in the old
country, together with exhorbitant
prices. Yet he found no serious
shortage and prices in many in
stances were much lower than in the
United States.
He says there are instances where
supplies sent to English merchants
have been returned to this country
for sale, as better prices could be Sc
cured on this side
To cap the climax he received a Sc
we're shock in England when a por-
tion of the pay he received for a
draft was in American gold.

Some Baby Questions

The L. 5, Bureau Of the Census
has recently issued a report on NOR
,ahN statistics for 1917 in which It
saws in speaking Of the infant NOR
tahU rate ---a few increases
appear which should serve as food
for thought What has occasioned
the increase in the rate from prema-
ture birth from lis in 1910 to 2l.l
in 1917? What has occaSioned the
increase in the rate from injuries at
birth from 80 in 1910 to 40 in
1912"
In western, eastern, southern, nor
thern states, in industrial cities and
in pioneer rural sections, the story is
the same. OF the babies studied
there died during the first month of
life in six different cities: SO per
cent; SS per cent; 2S per cent; Al
per cent; 40 per cent; 81 per cent
In FIVE rural counties the actual num-
berS are smaller but the percentages
are even higher: As out of 50; p out
of IS; II out of Is; 10 out of TO-;
10 out of IL.
This excessive loss of baby life is
due to the parental condition of the
mothers. The federal government is
ready through the provisions of the
Sheppard -Towner bill to help rural
districts provide sufficient nursing
and medical attention to insure
health to the bearers of Americas
citizens.
