Anthrax From Shaving Brush

THE newspapers recently announced
= the death, from anthrax, of a prom
inent Pennsylvania newspaper editor.
| The infection came from a shaving
| brush
Anthrax, or malignant pustule, as
1t is sometimes called, is rare in this
country. Yet occasionally 1t occurs,
usually with a very high death rate
The United States census report for
1921 shows 80 deaths in the United
States during that year. In the last
| five years, in Massachusetts, there were
81 deaths in do cases; In New York
So deaths in 1873 cases. Probably the
average death rate is about one death
out of every three cases, very high
| rate for any disease. In Italy, where
the disease is common there are about
1900 cases year, with over 1000
deaths.
Anthrax Is really an animal disease
and afflicts sheep, cows and horses. 1t

cially In Europe, where farmers would

In 1881 Pasteur found the cause to be

serum which protected animals from
it, so that today, in most civilized coun-
tries, anthrax is a rare disease among
animals.
Anthrax In human beings Is practi-
cally confined to those who handle
hides. hair, wool and fur from infected
animals. As sheep were very suscep-
tible, it has been called wholesalers
disease" because 1t was common
among workers who sorted wool.
Before the World war, in this coun-
try, it was found only among those
working in wool, hides and hair, and in
those localities where these industries
iourished. In 1918 and 1919, however
many cases occurred in the army train
Ing camps. These cases were In most
| instances traced to shaving brushes
Investigation showed that during the
war there had been large shipments
| of hair and hides direct to this country
from Siberia, Manchuria and China,
countries in which anthrax had al
ways been common, and that bristles
had been used in making the cheaper
grades of shaving brushes. In the last
six years many cases of anthrax infec-
ton from shaving brushes have been
reported. !.

face swells, sometimes enormously, the
center of the swelling turns black,

New brushes, especially the cheaper
kind, should be soaked for four hours

number of brushes are dangerous, but
that doesn't do any good if you happen
| TO get an infected one.
Sterilize your new brush before US
ing it and you need not be afraid Of

Building Strong Teeth

TF YOU were building a brick wall,
L you'd see to it that plenty of lime
went into the mortar that was to hold
the brick together. You know that II
the lime is lacking, the mortar will
crumble. the brick will fall apart and
the wall will fall down or buckle out
of shape.
In building your child's body, there
are two structures which must have
plenty of lime if they are to be sound
and strong, able to stand the strain
and the wear of future years. These
are the bones and the teeth.
If the child does not get enough lime
in its food, its bones will be soft,
spongy and easily bent. The child Will
grow up with bowlegs, contracted chest
and curved spine. This disease, caused
by lack of sufficient lime in the bones,
is called ricketts,.
In all cases of ricketts, the teeth are
soft and subject to decay. Even In
children who do not develop ricketts,
(that is, in whom the food has enough
lime to supply the bones with what
they need), unless there is enough lime
for both bones and teeth, the teeth Will
be soft and will easily decay.
The child's first teeth, or milk teeth,
as they are sometimes called. are made
out of material taken from the moth
er's milk, so that IL the child's first
teeth are to be strong and healthy, the
mother. both during pregnancy and
while she Is nursing her baby, must
have food which contains plenty of
lime, for her baby's bones and teeth.
They are formed long before the first
permanent tooth appears. In order to
have strong, sound teeth, the child
must have, from its birth until its per-
manent teeth are all developed, food
which contains plenty of lime.
The best lime-containing food Is
milk. Children need more lime than
grown people whose teeth and bones
are hardened. quart of milk day
is the least amount each child needs.
Green vegetables, such as spinach, let
.uee, cabbage and tomatoes, fruits, es-
pecially fresh and uncooked, eggs. one
or two day and cereals, especially
rolled oats and wheat and whole wheat
bread, will supply the lime needed for
healthy, firm bones and hard. sound
teeth.

CHAPTER TX
Poker Face and a White
Pigeon.

Mrs. Simpson had made a discovery.
1t was epoch-making. 1t was tremen-
dous. Nothing short of that! SO, at
the very least, Mrs. Simpson was pre-
pared to maintain stoutly in the face
of possible ridicule.
One morning. very early, Mrs. Sfmp-
son, from the thick curtains Gs the liv-
ing room, saw Jose "prowling around
SuSpicious-like in the courtyard ~ She
had sensed Jose's dislike, and thrilled
at the sight. She always thrilled to
Jose. The half-breed had gone silent
ly, 'sneaking-like," by Judith's outer
door. He had paused there, listening.
He had gone back to the courtyard.
hesitating, pretending that he was
looking at the roses Such a ruse on
the part of so black-hearted a villain
Inspired in the scarcely breathing Mrs.
Simpson a vast disgust. AS if he
could fool her like that, pottering
around among the roses.
She, too. sought to move silently In
his wake, though under her ample
weight the veranda creaked audibly.
Still, making less noise than usual,
she peered through the lilacs. She
saw Jose at the base of the knoll, go
ing swiftly toward the stables She
saw another man who, evidently, was
third of the gang" and who, of
course. had risen early to creep out of
the mems clubhouse before the others
were awake, to meet Jose.
Screening herself behind the lilacs,
her heart throbbing as it had not done
for many long year, she watched.
Jose and the other man did not meet
Jose stopped. The two exchanged a few
words too low for Mrs. Simpson to hear
at that distance. But she made out that
the other man had something in his
hand, something white A pigeon
For, suddenly released, it fluttered out
of the mans hands and, circling high
above Mrs. Simpsons head, flew to
join the other birds cooling on the
housetopi
"A carrier-pigeon! gasped Mrs.
Simpson. Taking a message to the
other cutthroatsl
From that instant there was no
doubt in her mind This fitted in too
well with her many suspicious not to
be the cIew she had sought long and
increasingly.
Jose went on, the man from the
bunk-hOuse went back to it, and Mrs.
Simpson fled to the house and FASTENED
excitedly to Judith's room. Judith,
rudely awakened, came hurriedly to
her door in her dressing gown, her eye
lids heavy with sleep. When she
heard, she laughed.
you dear old gooser" cried Judith
joyously. Il just love you to death.
You put fresh interest into life."
Despite Mrs. Simpsons earnest pro-
tests, Judith Rugged her and pushed
her out again, saying that since she
was awake now she would want her
breakfast just as, soon as she could
get it. The housekeeper shook her
head and retreated heavily.
