Guard Against Small Pox

1t is especially important at this
time that all understand a few simple
facts which will enable every fndiyid-
ual, for his own sake and for the sake
of others to guard against small pox, a
few cases of which are reported else
where in this issue. The following
is published on the authority of a well
known Skowhegan physician.
One of the highest aims of an In
dividual may well be the care OF his
health, that of his family and his
neighbors. 1t is impossible for every
one to study medicine bnt there are a
few simple medical facts which all
may know and wihich II acted upon
would prevent many OF the diseases
which cause so much suffering and I'M
happiness.
Small pox Is the most contagious OF
all diseases. Nearly all who are ex-
posed contract the disease. 1t Is one
of the oldest and until the days OF
vaccination was one of the most dead
ly. Since the days OF vaccination
most of the cases are mild. There is
now and then one of the old fashion
ed type and death Is quite likely to
result. The disease is caused by a
very small bacteria which so far
science has not been able to single out
even by the use of the most powerful
microscope or to reta n in the finest
porcelain filter. Regardless of its
minute size however. il gets about very
nicely. 1t exists in the breath and
on the skin of an afflicted person and
readily passes from the diseased indiy-
idual to begin its disastrous work
upon your body or mine. so keep out
of the presence of the disease and keep
away from those who have been ex-
posed. Small pox patients are oil
course, Immediately ~quarantined and
those known to have been exposed
should be. All such should be care
fully watched during the incubation
period of the disease which Is supposed
to be about two weeks.
Vaccination is so near a complete
defence that 1t may be safely regard
ed in that light. 1t has literally saw
ed millions of lives and reduced what
was for a thousand years the principal
scourge of the world to a disease read
lily controlled and wholly preventable.
In the early days the illness resulting
from vaccination was often a serious
matter. There are those now living
who exhibit scars indicating all too
plainly the gravity of the disturbance
which followed the incubation. All
this Is past. Waco nation Is now
practically painless. The inflammation
at the incubation point Is scarcely no
ticeable and 1t Is very rare that the
indy Qua experiences more than the
most trifling disturbance. Everyone
should be vaccinated early In life and
this should be reapted between the
twelfth and fourteenth years and
more especially at the outbreak OF a
true epidemic. The individual can
not consider himself alone in this
matter. A means Of protection so
simple bat SO important to the pub
lie welfare should not be d~isregarded.

American Rats Are Finicky

A starved rat will eat anything
from a strip of lead pipe to an old
boot. but a well-fed rodent, such as
we have in the United States, is Of
ten inclined to be finicky in the mat
ter of food. Rat-poisoning cam
paigns often fail because the house
owner does not give his intended vic
tins a sufficient variety of edibles.
Specialists of the Biological Survey
of the United States Department of
Agriculture urge a rat-control cam
paign in America, and they stress the
importance of catering to the rodents
tastes.
Rat bats may be divided into three
classes: Meat foods, vegetable foods,
and cereals. In mixing his bats the
successful poisoner selects a food
from each of the three classes, and
combines it with barium carbonate in
the proportion of one part poison to
four of food. Then he puts a tea
spoonful of each variety on a strip
of paper, or bit of board, so that the
rat, travelling along his runway, finds
three-course meal all laid for him.
Usually one of the three bats appeals
to him, and the rat population is re-
duced by one.
Poisoned bats should be watched
carefully, and uneaten bats replaced
by others of the same class on the
following evening. In this way
wide selection of foods may be used
without departing from the basic
mbination. All bats must be kept
fresh and tempting. You can't catch
rats by smearing a dab of poison on
a bit of stale bread and then putting
it in some out-of-the-way corner.
Barium carbonate is the poisoning
agent recommended by the specialist.
as it is tasteless .odorless, and can be
obtained at any drug store. Full di-
rections for its use, and complete
list of the food combinations suitable
for a poisoning campaign can be OBJ
tanned upon request to the United
States Department of Agricai uIe,

What, Do you Think, Is a Well-Fur'
nished House?

Well-furnished houses are not clut-
tered up with things which may be
useful or attractive in themselves, but
which nobody uses or enjoys. They
are, rather, those that contain only
things necessary for convenience in
working, and for comfort and salts
faction in living, and no more.
A house that is we'll planned, per-
fectly convenient and comfortable,
will also be beautiful. Beauty does
not lie so much in the ornaments put
on a thing as in the perfect adapta-
tion of that thing to the use for
which II is intended.
If a woman tries sincerely to ar
range her house according to this
idea of adaptation to use, she need
not worry about its being pretty"
say household experts of the u. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture. She may
not be rich enough to have expensive
things, but If she uses harmonious
colors for her walls, floors, and up
