About Musk

The musk OF commerce comes,
for the greater part from Tach-
ienlu, a town in China that Is
known as the Gateway to Tibet"
Three thousand pounds OF this
odoriferous substance Is exported
annually. The bulk OF 1t proceeds
to France, where IL is employed
in manufacturing perfumery. Musk
is an essential ingredient OF al
most all perfumes.
Musk has certain radioactive
properties that cause the odor Of
the perfume to be carried through
the air in most extraordinary
way. The radioactive property of
musk affects the natives who
carry II TO market very strangely.
II package of musk is held
close to the body for any length
OF time it produces sores that are
similar in character to those
caused by pure radium.
Musk is obtained from a sort OF
gland or pouch of the male musk
deer and 1t is secreted only dur
ing certain seasons of the year.
The musk deer is a small animal,
seldom more than three feet long
and twenty-five inches in height.
1t Is becoming more and more
scarce every year. and at the
present rate will eventually be-
come extinct.

WARE OfHandkerChief
By Brice Belden, M. ID.

The danger of the pocket hand
kerchief as a source of infection
has been little recognized even at
times when such sources are being
searched for most frantlcalIy. Dur
ing the influenza epidemic people
were warned about every concely-
able germ carrieT-eNcept the
pocket handkerchief. They were
given directions for avoiding trou-
BILE. and some OF the most popular
OF precautions were absolutely use
less. or. what IL more. rather harm
full. The deadly pocket handkeT-
chief was not mentioned in the list
OF things TO beware OF or Offset.
Nasal douches and face masks
such as were used during the epi
demic were useless TO anyone who
had exposed hi nself to the menace
OF the pocket handkerchief. When
IL liz realized that the handkerchief
OF an influenza paatient is a perfect
incubator for the germs OF the dis
ease. IL will be seen that these
favorite precautions are rather
foolish.
The face mask interfered with
free breathing and made the air
which did enter unnealtnylly warm
and damp. Gargling also was a
small precaution against the great
err danger of the infected handker-
chief, besides being a destroyer of
the natural secretions which might
have helped to Offset the handker-
chief menace.
Germs feed and multiply in the
moist handkerchief, and IL the per-
son which owns the incubator has
already become infected the danger
is, of course, the more terrible to
others, and the owner may reinfect
himself through IL. If this hand
kerchief is kept in n warm pocket
the germs will find themselves in
most comfortable and encouraging
environment and the result will be
a veritable death-trap, ready to be
put into the laundry to disseminate
its contents freely among the
clothes of others. Thorough boil

effect sterilization.

DUTIES OF WIFE
ARE VAGUE.

In answer to Clarice d. her ideas
of the duties of a wife are vague
indeed. A wife is said to be a help
mate instead of an encumbrance.
Tho serious trouble with most of
girls of today is lack of home
training. Mothers are slaves to
their children.
1t is pity ClariCe d. does not ap-
preciate her husband more for she
herself says he is generous.
Why cannot she reciprocate by at
least keeping up her little apart
ment instead of begging for a maid.
Lack of pride in keeping her home
clean for the home coming OF a
tired husband will cause her to lose
his love, for few men, IL any, care
to come to a slatternly home. Wife
Clarice ID. will find herself husband
less If she doesn't change her mode
of living. A HAPPY MOTHER.
