II is important that everyone
should know tha: there are both
beneficial and harmful micro organ
isms. or bacteria. Some micro-or-
ganisms are very useful. Yeast is
one from the activities Of which We
derive much benefit.
Acids formed by bacteria in milk
cause milk to sour and cOagulatc.
From this curd cheese is made. Soil
bacteria add large amounts Of min
erals and nitrutcs to the soil. Bac-
terra also bring about decay. II you
will try to imagine what the earth
would be like if dead leaves, vcge-
tables and dead animals never de-
caycd, you will understand better
how important these beneficial bac-
terra are in safeguarding health.
The chief concern Of the Public
Health Service is with the harmful
bacteria. Harmful bacteria arc those
which destroy or injure food before
it can he used, or those which grow
in our bodies. using up the foods
which our bodies need; bacteria
which form poisonous wastes, and
bacteria which eat or destroy the
tissues.
When you stick a silver in your
finger harmful bacteria are frequent

small silver. If the silver remains
