Common Sense Ways to
Keep Well
by DR.. r. H. BISHOP
MENINGITIS


Meningitis or brain fever is an in
fectious disease which may be con
trol1ed~ by obedience to simple rules.
This disease is due to a microscopic
germ called the meningococcus This
germ grows practically only in tht
body Of the human being and dies
within short time after leaving It
Many people are "carriers'-that is
have the germs in the mouth and nose
but do not develop any symptoms.
/ The number of people who are sus-
ceptible to the disease is small. only
about one in ten but the large num-
Der of carriers makes it essential that
everyone should be cautious lest he
convey the disease to others while he
himself shows no signs of illness.
1t is not understood why some peo-
pie are susceptible and others are not,
although it is likely that 1t is caused
by lowered resistance as a result Of
lack of proper nourishment. exposure
to cold OF fatigue. In other words. the
same conditions which render one sus-
ceptibIe to pneumonia and tuberculosis
predispose to meningitis. Like pneu-
monia. the disease prevails chiefly In
winter.
Since there are ten times as many
carriers as cases. it IS evident that to
quarantine the cases is not sufficient
to prevent an epidemic OF the disease.
AS always, however. when dealing
with a disease caused gy living or
ganism. study OF its habits gives the
clue to its conquest.
The menineococcus dies soon after
leaving the body and only leaves the
body in the secretions OF the mouth
and nose Therefore. in order TO
spread the disease, the fresh secre-
tons frem the mouth or nose Of a case
or q carrier must enter the body Of
another person. This IS usually ac-
|conplished by the common drinking
cup. BY putting pencils. fingers Or
other things into the mouth. BY care
less coughing or sneezing towards an
other person.
In order to control the disease one
must exert the utmost personal care
Nothing unnecessary must be put
into the mouth and thus possibly con-
taminated with germs.
The mouth or nose must be careful

ward so as to prevent the secretions
flying into the air in fine spray
which may readily reach another per-
son.
That those two rules assist in the
control OF disease received strong evil
dence last year. Placards Illustrating
the rules were distributed through the
schools and the teachers were request
ed to post them and lecture upon
hem Many teachers were interested
in the work and enforced the rules
among their pupils.
Obedience to these two rules viii

Frank Timberlake and ransacked the
house from top to bottom. Two val

front door locked as usual. All other
doors and windows were locked and

minal entered tn house earlier in the
afternoon and hid in the cellar until

score against Tucson forms the only
basis for comparing the relative
strength Of the Bisbee and Phoenix

The Bisbee team is unusually
heavy for a high school squad and

not worried because of the fact. He
