PUBLIC HEALTH LEAGUE

1t has been estimated that more
brations of our independence Day
than during the Revolutionary War.
A safe Fourth is not an impossibility,
with proper restrictions on the sale
and use of fireworks, and recogni
ton of the danger attendant upon the
unskilled handling of explosives. Most
of the loss of life and property can
be avoided.
Fireworks and gunpowder were in
troduced from China, and the Chinese
have learned how to handle fireworks
safely, a lesson yet to be learned by
the average American.
In 1903 the American Medical AS
sociation began an extensive cam
paign to develop interest in safe
July 4th celebration. In 1903 the
deaths from lockjaw alone were 406
By 1915 they had been reduced to
none Other fatalities and injuries
had been reduced to minimum.
Since that year there has been re-
taxation in control, and now a large
number of people are unnecessarily
burned, crippled and killed as result
Of July 4th accidents.
One of the greatest Fourth of July
dangers is lockjaw, or tetanus, which
is an infectious germ disease-abso
lutely DISQUALIFICATION kills from
one-ffth to one-half of it's victims
The germs usually gain access to the
body through wounds, particularly
those contaminated by manure, gar
den soil or dirt. Wounds from fire
works, blank cartridges or gunshot
are most dangerous. Fortunately, an
antitoxin has been developed which
was thoroughly tried out in the Great
War, and it's extreme effectiveness
demonstrated beyond doubt. No Ill
effects follow it's use. The treatment
to be thoroughly effective, must be
PREVENTIVE, and the EARLIER
the antitoxin is used the MORE GER
TAIN is the prevention of tetanus.
No preventable accidents should oc
cur in Washington on July 4th; but
if they do occur, doctors and hospi
tails are ready to give the necessary
treatment, and there should be no de
lay in securing it for any injury
wound or burn.
Remember death that could have
been prevented is a crime

nor ground connections. These
sets operate from compact coil
OF wire placed inside the cabinet,
making it possible to deliver a radio
set to the home, complete and self
contained, ready for immediate
operation.
Equally important have been the
improvements effected in the de-
sign of radio receiving sets OF the
antenna type. New circuits have
been developed whereby such sets
become "non-radiating," giving
greater sensitiveness and a degree
OF selectivity unapproached by
former types of two-circuit and
three-circuit receivers.
Sharpness Of tuning has been in
creased so that substantially all
broadcasting stations within range
can be received individually with
out interference from others. This
means that the programs of local
stations can be eliminated if the
broadcast listener so desires, and
that out-of-town stations can be
heard regularly no matter how near
the listener is located to the local
station.
Of equal Importance has been the
perfection in quality of acoustical
reproduction. Astounding progress
has been made in that direction, and
thus we obtain more faithful repro
duction of broadcasted voice and
music.
Receiving sets having reached
such high degree of perfection,
further improvements in the art will
come principally from the broad
cast transmitter. The use of Super
Power may be looked forward to,
thus assuring a signal strength Of
sufficient intensity to swamp out
the interferences commonly called
background noises" produced by
sources other than the broadcast
transmitter. 1t is conceivable that
one such station can furnish pro-
grams the greater part of the year
throughout the United States.
Radio is now established as one
OF the great industries of The
Nation.

Should Drink Plenty
OF Water, SAYS Medic

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The COM
mon expression "a dried-up old man"
has no basis in fact, and the athlete
who claims to be 'as hard as nails"
Is really like sponge.
So declares DR.. Eugene Lyman Fisk,
medical director Of the Life Extension
Institute, in recent paper on the
quantity Of water we should drink
each day. The water content Of the
human body in old age, he says, is
from 81.2 to 84.8 per cent, as COM
pared with rs to 80 per cent in earlier
life, and the athletes muscles really
are rs per cent water.
About six glasses of water is a fair
daily average. DR.. Fisk says, unless
hot weather or violent exercise makes
one perspire freely. He also scouts
the theory that fluids taken with
meals interfere with the digestion. Ga
the contrary, he asserts, water stimu.

ton.
DR.. Fisk emphasizes the necessity
Of scientific analysis and points out
that no plain water is absolutely pure.
The ordinary household filters. he also
declares, remove some kinds of i'm.
puities, but cannot screen out disease
germs.
In this DR.. Flax agrees with the

exhaustive tests OF the effect Of car.

and beverages. They discovered that

Institute for Testing
Silk Goods Organized

The Real Silk Institute, aimed to
serve the silk users Of the country
with authentic information Of the
uses and value of silk, has been estab-
lished as public service research bu-
reau at Indianapolis, Ind. The Insti-
tute comes as result of an effort to
protect silk buyers from the many In
ferior grades of merchandise and imi-
tations now flooding the market and
to increase the public's knowledge Of
silk.
The romance and secrets of the silk
industry, from the spinning of the CO.
coon to the testing of the finished
product, including the tests for the
fastness of color tests for silk imita
tions and for the strength of tie
wearing qualities of the various silk
fbres, are to be made the common
knowledge of every American woman
who would spend her silk dollar with
an eye to economy.
George e. Burke, recognized silk
expert, has been appointed director OF
the institute. Three divisions have
been formed to carry on. the general
work, until more detailed organiza-
ton can be set up. These divisions,
as outlined by Mr.. Burke, are: Cen
