Health Hints
By DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American
Medical Association and OF Hy.
eyia. the Health MAGAZINE

AS scientific medicine begins to
give attention to the diseases as
ISOLATED with industry strange
sources Of infection and Of other
disturbances come to light.
A recent report by the New
York State Department of Labor
has to do with wiping rags as a
source of infection or of other
hazards.
Wiping rags come from all sorts
Of sources, many from the refuse
of dwellings. Some of the rags
purchased by regular dealers are
sold to paper mills and to manu-
facturers Of roofing material.
Sterilization
The cleaner rags in fairly good
condition are picked out and sold
as wipers: the dirtier ones in good
condition are sometimes washed
and sterilized before being sold
as wipers.
1t is impossible to say just how
much infection is transmitted by
rags used in this way. On the
other hand, it is reasonable to be-
lieve from the available knowl-
edge as to the amount of bacterial
contamination Of rags that it is
possible for diseases to be trans
nlitted in this manner.
one Of the dangers from such
material is the presence OF bent
and rusty pins with which the
hands of workers may be scratched.
affording a ready opportunity for
infection to enter.
Federal Regulations
The United States government
has specified methods of washing
and sterilizing rags used as wipers
by the government establishments
which make certain that only clean
materials will be used.
1t is the opinion OF the New
York State Department of Labor
that common decency requires
that wiping rags be washed and
sterilized. The danger that they
may carry infection unless passed
through such process cannot be
ignored.

Mates Hard to Find

men, in striking out for freedom,
have struck a snag. In the emanci-
patton of women, divorce has be-
come an easy matter but, in the
new order of things divorces are
not at all popular.
Now that the sexes, among the
educated classes, have been min
Cling freely socially, and in the pro-
LESSONS. many young men who
were married according to the old
Eetrothal system "by arrangement
meet girls whom they like better
than their wives.
The outcome often is that they
seek and easily obtain a divorce
on the ground of incompatibility OF
emperament.
Then the discarded wife goes out
in the world to start all over again.
But life's pathway for her if she
has become domesticated and is
lonesome for companionship, is not
a rosy one, for the young men
seem reluctant to marry wives di-
vorced by other men.

him with relatives in Ireland when
she left that country to visit her
father and mother who had mi
grated to New Orleans.
Moonan's mother never returned.
She kept constantly in touch and
directed his rearing by mail. On
numerous occasions she planned
to 60 pack to her native land but

son.

turned deaf cars to his cabled and

Peter Rabbit was absorbed In
what he was looking at. Do you
know what that means? 1t means
that he was SO interested in what
he was looking at that he had for
gotten everything else. Now it is
bad business to become absorbed in
any one thing when there may be
danger around. Yes, sir, it is bad
business. Peter found it out that
day,
1t happened when Peter discover
ed one of the kittens Of Yowler the
Bobcat playing with leaf in a patch
OF moonlight over in the Green
Forest. Peter hadn't known that
there were any Bobcat kittens over
there. This was the first Bobcat
kitten he had ever seen. So just
out Of sight in the Black Shadow
on the edge OF the moonlit space
Peter sat staring with round-cyed
wonder at the little Bobcat playing
in the moonlight. He quite forgot
everything else and this was very
foolish thing to do.
Its a baby Bobcat as sure as
live" thought Peter. 1T just can
not be anything else. My, what a
funny little fellow he is. He has a
spotted coat. Yowler's coat isn't
spotted like that. Perhaps Mrs.
Yowler's is. l have never seen Mrs.
Yowler."
As matter of fact, Mrs. Yowler
looked very much like Yowler HIM
himself. Baby Bobcats always have
spotted coats. just as baby Deer
always have spotted coats. When
that baby Bobcat was grown to full
size those spots would have mostly
disappeared.
Now. it never entered Peters
head that there might be other
baby Bobcats. No. sir. it never en-
tered his head. If it had he prob
ably would have looked around n
little bit. As it was he remained
absorbed in watching this kitten
playing in the moonlight. The kit
ten was having a wonderful time.
Feter felt as if he wanted TO 60 out
and play with him. But he wasn't
foolish enough to do anything of
the kind. He just remained right
where he was. He remained right
where he was and he remained
perfectly still.
Without the least warning Peter
was knocked flat. Yes. sir, he was
knocked right over. Not only that
but lot of sharp claws pricked his
skin. 1t seemed to him as if they
pricked him all over. Peter squealcd
right out with pain and surprise
and fright. And he kicked. My
goodness how he did kick. He drew
those long hind legs of his up and
shot them out with all his strength.
When Peter kicks he can kick h. I'd
He kicked hard now. And Peter was
lucky. Those two hind feet of his
landed right in the stomach of the
sister of that little Bobcat he had
been watching. 1t was she who had
jumped on Peter. She had seen Pc
ter when he first arrived and she
had stolen up until she was near
enough to jump on him. She hadn't
made u sound.
Now that little Bobcat really
wasn't big enough to kill full

being ground under by the labor
of cities, thousands of workers are
aries in the labor movement even
surprising, if possible, John l.
Lewis. Berry has broken several
newspaper printers strikes in New
York City and elsewhere. He stole
several hundred thousand dollars
from his organization and for sew
eral years the Chicago local fought
him in the courts, the case ending
finally undecisively.
Berry has been one of the moving
figures in the American Legion, he
is the owner of newspapers and
printing plants. He is the organizer
of the Printers Home in Tennessee
from which, through land deals and
by other means, he has stolen thou
sands of dollars from the organiza-
ton. Even Matthew Woll, philo-
sopher Of the A. F. of L. betrayal
has said "confidentially," 1--WE no
longer consider Berry as being in
the labor movement"
The man for whom Berry is to di-
rect the campaign, Al Smith, is one
of the most hypocritical enemies Of
labor in the history of the country
He has opposed workingmen's COM
pensation, sanctioned convict labor
bills, refused to intercede wher
asked on behalf Of suppressed wom-
en- workers, all under cover of slick
liberalism and pro-labor policy.
