HINTS ON HEALTH
prepared and Furnished by the
Public Health Education
Committee Of Minnesota
State Medical ASSN.

st. Paul, Minnesota.-There are
three factors. easily avoided, that
cause most of the illness of children
during the Christmas season:
1. Children eat too much candy
and suffer from indigestion.
2. Children play too violently with
new toys and become over-excited
and nervous.
3. Children are often burned by
tallow candles. 1t is better to have
no lighted candles at all, unless an
adult is there to guard the tree at all
times.
These are three health suggestions
offered by the educational committee
of the Minnesota State Medical Asso-
ciation@to make the holiday season
one of happiness The fact that chill
dren crave for candy is no indication
that they need it, declares the health
bulletin.
while Christmas is the time of
greatest happiness for children it
carries health dangers and also comes
at a season of the year when there is
much sickness abroad says the bull
letin.
"Diphtheria, pneumonia, bronchitis
colds, and many other disturbers of
Christmas happiness must be avoid
ed" the committee declares. Christ
mas is a time of excitement, discip-
line is relaxed, bad habits may be
created. All this does not mean that
children should not be joyous, during
this time and have their amusements
But when the physician considers
Christmas and sees the possibilities
for harm and also for good that this
holiday creates, he feels it his duty
to express himself He feels that
happiness for the parents and chill
dren must be built on foundation
of bodily and mental health, that
Christmas offers good opportunity
for proclaiming again that diph-
iberia can be avoided by the use of
toxin-anti-toxin, that bronchitis and
pneumonia may be avoided to a great
degree by Kidding the child from in
lection in the throat.

digestion and spoil the child's appe-

Thirteen people died in Pine County
from tuberculosis during 1927. This
information is contained in report
received by Christmas Seal workers
from the Minnesota Public Health
Association. 1t is estimated that
there are III active cases, the report
states.
Warning that the White Plague is
still a grave menace dispite the re-
duction of the death rate one
half in 20 years was given local
Christwas Seal workers by the Min
nesota Public Health Association.
Every six hours one Minnesota
citizen dies of tuberculosis, says
this statement. According to aver
ages determined as a result of tuber-
culosis studies, there are nine active
cases in any community for each Pc
son who dies of this disease. AT
this rate, Minnesota now has more
than $4,000 active cases. Many of
these are not even suspected as yet
by the persons themselves, who are
each day lessening their chances for
recovery and spreading their disease
to members of their families. More
case-finding studies and clinics to
seek out these unknown cases are
urgently needed.

element affects the sensitive nerv-
GUS system of the child and may
cause sleeplessness and Nightmares.
Over-indulgence harms the child and
discipline should not be relaxed en-
tirely. The physician wants the child
to be happy, he wants the parents
to be happy with the child; he does
not want the child to be harmed.
During this, festival time the child

his health needs should not be forgot

back into the schools and on to
college many boys and girls who
are drifting. 1t trains in that great
human need of all people, and es-
pecially farming people, the art of
cooperation. 1t is a new leayen in
rural American life.
And now that it has been found
good for the boy and the girl who
take part in it, good for agricul-
ture and the home, good for the
nation, the nation is going to ex-
pand it. It is ready to 90 ahead.
Plans to that end are now on the
way. backed by more than 20 ma
tlonal farmers organizations. with
not one organization, so far as we
know, opposing it. Club work is
to be expanded so that at the end
OF about y years we will have ov-
Ell 100000 boys and girls enroll
ed each year in All clubs. That
is just about two and half times
as many as we now have. If we
can enroll that number annually,
it will enable every boy and girl
who reaches maturity and takes
up farming to have come I'D thru
the club system and be better pre-
pared for life's work.
1t is difficult to realize the size
of an army of 100000 boys and
girls. but you can get some notion
OF the number when you are told
that if they were on the march "a
abreast. with lines 16 feet apart,
walking ten hours a day. it would
take them four and half DAYS to
walk past the presidents review
ing stand, once. And the group
would stretch out from Chicago
clear across the state of Illinois
to the Mississippi river and be-
yond.
What does it mean to the nation
to have 100000 farm boys and
girls studying their business. and
working together while they are
yet young, paying their full part
in the affairs of the farm and the
community, making exhibits, dem
onstrations together, banqueting
together? 1t means much. "Seeest
thou man diligent in his bust
ness; he shall stand before kings"
The farmer of the future will take
his place with the kings of the
earth. He will have learned in his
youth the great lesson of the ages,
that In unity and work there is
strength and honor. We only dim
ly see at the present, the future
fruitage of al club work, but we
see trained men and women on the
farms of all America, homes of
culture. men and women who play
their full part in the affairs of the
state and nation, as becoes those
who. working wit hsoil and sun
and rain, create fifteen billion dol
lars worth of wealth with each

First Ten Years of Campaign
Reduces Bovine T. B.

Ten years ago, soon after he had
taken charge of the tuberculosis
eradication division of the U. s.
Dept of Ag., the late DIR. u. A.
Herman made the significant and
prophetic statement that sstuber-
culosis can be eradicated from all
the cattle and all the swine in the
United States"
At that time official testing
showed that 40 percent of the
cattle were infected with tubercu-
losis. and figures on 10000. 900
hogs slaughtered under the fed
eral inspection indicated that ten
percent Of all the swine in the
United States were infected.
At the close of 1927 the same
sources of information indicated
that tuberculosis in cattle had de-
creased to 90 per cent infection,
and that altho the disease in swine
had increased from ten percent in
1917 to 1872 in 1924, it has grad
ually been decreasing since that
time and at the close of 1927 was
1876 percent.
There are now 401 counties. or
Is percent of the entire number
in the United States, classed as
modified accredited areas because
they have less than one-half of
one percent infection in cattle. In
addition to these free counties
there are 627 others engaged in
the work looking to modification.
This total Of 1,028 counties, either
modified or working to that end,
constitutes, one-third of the total
number of counties in the United
States. A total of 1S,61O,865 head
of cattle are now under supervi-
sion for the eradication of tuber-
culosis.
In reviewing the last 10 years.
work, DR.. A. E. Wight, acting
chief of the division, said that this
marked decrease of infection in
both cattle and swine has been ac-
complished as a result of the in
tensive campaign against the dis
ease. 1t is apparent, he says, that
the prophecy made in 1917 rela-
tive to the possibility of control
ling and graduating this disease
is being borne out. He emphasizes
the necessity. however, of contin-
ued and determined effort to COM
pletely eradicate the disease as
early as possible. If a feeling of
security is permitted to exist to
the detriment Of organized efforts,
dire results may yet occur in some
localities.

SUMMERS SECURES
GOOD APPOINTMENT
Membership on Agricultural APP
preparations Committee Con-
sidered Important to N. w.

Congressman John w. Summers
has been assigned under the new
committee appointments to the inn
portant committee on agricultural
appropriations. This committee is
composed of five members and con-
gresham Summers is the only one
of the group from any state west
of Iowa.
Important subjects which come
before the committee include pre-
cooling, storage, apple diseases,
fruit transportation, shipping point
inspection and like problems. They
have under consideration legisla-
tion dealing with wheat smut, pine
blister, rust, wire worms, pure al
falfa seed and many other mat
tiers of vital concern to the indi-
viduaI farmer.
The same committee also works
out federal aid estimates for state
roads and for national forest roads
and trails.
Appropriations coming directly
under the jurisdiction of the COM
mittee total annually about $780,
100000. The appointment to this
powerful and important commit
tee is direct recognition of DR..
Summers long service in congress
and particularly is due to his un-
derstanding of the needs and prob
lens of the west.
Legislation on shipping point in
spection which Congressman Sum-
mers secured about five years ago,
is estimated to mean a saving to
producers annually in excess of
five million dollars.
