HEALTH TALKS

How Vaccine is Produced

Small pox has taken grea, toll OF
human life. In the first quarter OF the
eighteenth century it is estimated he
ID million people died with this dis
ease. A pock-marked person was a
very common thing to see. Nearly
every one who reached adult life had
had small pox. Jenner's discovery
came along and vaccination became
great preventive task. TIL mort
atty from small pox has been re-
duced and this plague controlled by
the hands of science.
An advertisement ran some time ago
carried the statem9lt that vaccine
used in snail pox prevention consisted
OF germs injected into the arms from
the bodies OF dead Japanese in Japan"
Tho truth OF the matter is that vac
cine used in America today is pre-
pared under government license and
Is produced from healthy calves
not from human being. dead or alive
white or yellow.
Each calf is carefully examined
before incubation and is rejected un-
less It appears to be in perfec,
health. After the vaccine is removed
the animal is slaughtered and sub
ject TO a post mortem examination
for signs Of disease which might have
escaped notice. As a further safe
guard all vaccine is subject TO serve
laboratory tests TO determine Ia psr-
iiy before il is markets..
Additional protection : accorded
by the treatment OF the vacc.ns hv
glycerin, which has a strong ge.m.-
cidal action. Tuberculosis germs fer
instance. cannot exist in modern vac.
cine. as the glycerin kills them. Sy-
rhillis cannot be transmitted through
vaccine. as the caii is no, subie,,
&c syphilis.

sibie laboratories under sir:e: super.

0. Is Houdini the magician, an
American, and how long hss ne been
on the stage
Harry Houdini was born at Apple
ton, Wisconsin, in 1874 tie was the
son OF Reverend Doctor slayer Sam
uel Weiss. but he had his name le-
gally changed in after year TO Houd-
mi. He was educated in the public
schools, and upon losing his job as
clerk in a store in Appleton, he
turned in desperation to work as a
trapeze performer, in 1882. Houdini
is perhaps the greatest magician on
the American stage. Among num-
erous books OF which he is author
are the following: Handcuff Secrets.
Miracle Mongers. Paper Presi;gita-
ton, Spooks and Spirituaiism, Rope

Q. Do all people who snore In
their sleep do it in the same key.
To quote an eminent authority on
the subject it may be said in answer
TO the above that William Jenkins
has been a Pullman car conductor OUT
Of New York for twenty-four years
He says that women are apt to snore
louder than man. but that he is thank
ful that most folks don't snor. at all.
He adds that portly men and buxom
women who snore produce a mellow
noise, somewhat on the order OF sax
ophone tones; the lean, slender types
emit a wheezy, whistling note. like
a chDp cornet According to Jcn-
<ins the big ones are more likely to
inore than the little ones.
Q. Where did copper toes for
shoes originated
George A. Mitchell was the inventor
Of copper toed shoes about seventy
years ago. Mitchell had a farm in
Maine and he observed that many
children wore the toes of their shoes
out faster than the other parts OF the
shoes. AT first he cut some pieces
rom 4 sheet of copper and fastened |
hem onto the shoes of his children
The result was that he got from two
% three times the life out OF the |
hoss. He patented the idea and mad
lot OF money out OF it. Copper toed |
hoes became the rage. and for man, |
'ears children cried for them. ASK
