County Nurse


The following is the report of
the County Nurse for the week
of April Both to May 9Th:
Monday morning was spent CIV
ing inspection to the pupils of
the Evergreen school; the results
of this inspection was in last
weeks report. Monday afternoon
and Tuesday was spent on report
and record work. Tuesday after
noon from 400 to 500, class in
home nursing was held at the
high school building. Wednesday
the Twin Lake and Phelps schools
were visited and inspected. Thurs
day was spent with Miss Myers Of
Chicago, who was here in behalf
/ of the American Red Cross. Miss
Myers visited several people in
the county in hopes of arousing
the interest of the community to
retain their Red Cross chapter.
Much good can be done through a
local chapter, especially can the
Junior Red Cross help to promote
the health of our children in Vi
las county.
Friday home calls were made in
, the country Ca good share of this
time was spent trying to get out
of couple of mud holes). Fri
day evening the nurse had the
pleasure of attending very inter-
esting program conducted by the
parents of the Twin Lake School.
At this meeting she had the OPP
portunity to meet the parents and
also present to them her work she
has carried out through the coun-
ty. Community meetings of these
kind are of great value to the
teacher, parents and nurse. 1t is
hoped that this fall more of these
/ gatherings can be held IN the
schools throughout the county.
Saturday morning was spent at
Phelps looking up cases that had
been reported to the nurse.
The following is the inspection
report of the Twin Lake School:

New Use For The Auto

Are you troubled with rats, es-
pecially around the chicken house,
garage, barn, or vegetable garden?
Fasten a length of hose on the
end of the exhaust from your
gasoline whether it be a
fiiver or tractor-back the car
up within reach of the rat bur-
row, and adjust the carburetor for
rich mixture. Pack damp earth
through the hole at the entrance
to the hole to seal it. Run the
engine at moderate speed for
10 minutes or more and the rats
will be destroyed. This method is
entirely practical, according to
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, when there are only small
number of holes or the area to be
fumigated is not too extensive. 1t
may also be used successfully in
destroying rats beneath floors or
in other places where q concentra-
tion of the gas can be obtained.
Community effort is urged in
getting rid of rats by the above
means and so by cleaning up
rubbish, spreading poison bats,
setting traps, and rat proofing
buildings. Individual properties
from which rats are exterminated
soon become reinfested if there
are rats in the neighborhood. The
Biological Survey, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, is willing to
assist in organizing and carrying
out anti-rat campaigns wherever
possible and will furnish upon APP
phcation bulletins and detailed
directions for poisoning with
barium carbonate and setting
traps.-Gillett Times.

Science

The death rate from hydrophobia Is
now less than one per cent. A few
years ago. this disease was fatal. HUI.
mainly now thanks Louis Pasteur for
saving these lives. Not long ago, 1t
jeered at him for claiming that a vac.
cine could be developed that would do
this.
Pasteur developed his wonderful
cure for hydrophobia or rabies
through great personal peril. He
worked constantly with dogs suffering
from the disease. After perfecting his
vaccine he injected 1t into animals
that had been bitten by rabid dogs.
These animals always recovered. Be-
cause of the great opposition and dis
belief which his work encountered he
hesitated to try 1t on q human being,
but finally did so in 1885 7en a
mother begged him to save he sons
life. The boy recovered and Pasteur
institutes for the treatment of hydro
phobia are now found in every coun-
try.
This cure was only one Of Pasteur's
great achievements. He was perhaps
the greatest benefsctor Of the human
race. This year the whole world is
celebrating his centenary.

NEW call to action for the
| n righteous was sent out from the
LII w. C. T. U. convention in Chi
cago recently. The Rev. M. P. Boyn-
ton spoke on the subject, THE Next
Job for Women" Now prohibition is
settled, he said, the next job is to start
the fight against tobacco.
This Is a perfectly logical develop
ment. Perhaps prohibition Is not
quite settled, since the real object Of
the law was to stop drinking; but the
things which people eat and drink and
do which are injurious, and we cannot
stop merely with such formal success
as we have gained against alcohol.
All Don't Agree
To be sure. 1t is difficult to get med
teal experts to agree with the speaker
IN the Chicago convention in his state
ment that nicotine poisoning IS kill.
ing thousands" or that "a heart
which contains nicotine cannot resist
pneumonia or ptomaine poisoning
but If we had taken the advice of the
medical experts we might never have
stamped out the legal sale OF liquor.
The strongest position to take is, II
any considerable proportion of our
voters do not practice any vice and
can get majority of the votes, the
vice may be made Illegal If that does
not stamp it out at once. It ct least
shows we are on the Lords side.
The principle having been repudia-
ted that what a man eats or drinks or
consumes in his system is his own
business: the opposite principle having
been adopted that II is the business OF
the law to settle these matters of per-
sond habit, we ought to go on and
make the law to forbid whatever a ma
jority of us vote to be unwholesome.
Makes No Difference
The agitation against coffee, tea and
chocolate began at least fifty years
ago. All these drinks contain certain
active narcotic principles and the ex-
perts are no more unanimous on them
than on tobacco and alcohol, but that
does not matter.
Moreover, there Is the matter OF
meat-consumption. Great dieticians
AOHS aso tooh the position meat 1s not
~equired and is harmful. Not all of
them, TO be sure, but they never all
agreed as to whisky or tobacco. And
II is certain vegetable food can be pro
duced much more cheaply than animal
food. Thus. both health and econom-
les point to prohibition Of meat as a
great reform which must be adopted.
We have set our hands to the pillow:
let us not look back until every one
lives in every way as required to do
by vote OF the majority.

Animal Facts

Every day a spaFrow-hawk perches
himself on the ledge of the courthouse
at Mexico, Mo. and sizes up the sit.
uation. AS soon as he spies a sparrow
in the neighborhood he sails forth for
food. Then the sparrow gives a warn
ing call and in an instant all the spar
rows in the neighborhood gather and
give battle to the hawk From every
angle they attack him and make his
feathers fly. At last the big bird Is
forced to turn back to his courthouse
ledge, but he usually manages to get
a sparrow in his claws before his
flight ends. Once upon his ledge, he
tears the sparrow to pieces and de.
vours It. These battles are repeated
many times a day throughout the
season and are watched with interest
BY the residents of the town.

BY HAROLD c. PLACE
ri CURT records in the Middle
liz West disclose that the major
ity of the farmers who have
gone into bankruptcy during the past
three years fall into two classes.
First, those who were caught with
high priced land when the depression
came and, with subsequent low prices
on farm products, were unable to meet
their payments or interest charges;
second, tenants who contracted to pay
fixed sum, based on inflated value,
for the use of farms and found their
income left no other alternative but
bankruptcy.
OF these, by far the larger proper
ton who took ADVANTAGE Of the pro-
vision for voluntary bankruptcy were
cash tenants. That there were not
more Is because many landlords re-
mitted large part of the rent due.
Despite the number Of farm tenants
who have gone to the wall, an alarm
ing increase in farm tenancy continues
each year. In Iowa. for example. 23.S
per cent of the farms were operated
by tenants in 1880. In 1920 the per-
centage had climbed to All per cent
Capital Increases
The answer to this situation is not
hard to determine. The reason is
found in the Increasing capitalistic ma
ture of farming. In 1880 the average
investment per farm In Iowa was
ss,Ss3. In 1920 it was sse.s42.
Farming has become big business
with a considerable outlay OF capital
beyond the means Of the average man.
II the purchaser must pay per
cent on his money borrowed to acquire
a farm and the land yields him no
more than a living or even as high
as per cent, the returns from oper-
alton leave a staggering deficit which
few desire to shoulder.
Dirt Farmer Comments
Is An interesting comment on this
phase of the situation was made TO
me by Mayor James McGhee of Mason
City. Mayor McGhee is a real dirt
farmer. For years he titled the soil
and still owns $4,000 farm outside
Mason City, which he leases on a
share basis.
1.-THE farmer must become recon
cjIed to the fact he can never again
hope to get the interest on his in.
vestment." says Mayor McGhee. He
must be content to get what he can
out Of the soil andtforget about the
money he has invested in his farm
ana the return he ought to expect
therefrom. II is simply impossible
for the farmer to make the interest
on his investment on high-prtced
land"
