BOARD OF HEALTH TO
ENFORCE NEW ACT

Starting July 1 this year, the
State Board of Health was empow-
cred to make systematic examina-
tion of mattress factories in Della
ware, issue license to such manufac-
turers and see that the secondhand
mattresses are thoroughly sanitary.
This is provided for in a bill passed
by the recent General Assembly, at
the suggestion of Wilmington mat
tress manufacturers. It's measure
aimed to protect the public from un-
scrupulous manufacturers and safe
guard the health of the public.
Executive Secretary Arthur T.
Jost is preparing to launch such an
examination of mattress plants and
to enforce provisions of the law
relative to secondhand mattresses.
Members of the three county
health units met in Dover to discuss
a program for the summer and also
outline plans for the exhibit to be
held at the Kent-Sussex Fair at
Harrington.
Another activity which the State
Board of Health will undertake this
summer is the inspection OF can
neries. DR.. Jost said that the State
Board wished in no way to cause
any bother to the proprietors of the
canneries, and will try and get them
together for a meeting and explain
just what the sanitary code of the
State means as to canneries.
In this way he hopes to obtain
their cooperation, because it is
largely a matter of their support in
keeping the canneries clean that
the health of the employees and
community must depend.
The inspection of the drinking
water at roadside stands and gar
ages will proceed throughout the
summer. New signs have been
placed at the various stands and
samples of water will be collected
and analyzed from month to month.

POISON IN IVY

Botanists know several kinds of
poison-ivy plants and a wide variety
of local names such as poison oak,
three-leaved ivy, poison creeper,
oakleaf poison ivy, climbing sumac,
markweed, picry, and mercury. The
poison oak of the Western states is
also called poison ivy. These plants,
and their close relative, poison su-
mac, are similar in their poisonous
properties.
Their poisonous principle" says
the Department of Agriculture, "is
non-volatile oily substance known
as toxicodendrol which has such
violently irritant properties that the
slightest trace deposited on the skin
is capable of producing severe in
f1ammation. All parts of the plant
contain the poison, even after long
drying, but growth in which the
sap is abundant is the most danger
ous." All these toxicodendrol-be
ing plants, with the exception of
poison sumac, are three leaved, and
all have white fruits. The red-ber-
ried sumacs are harmless.-The

stories ahoat concerning the assem-
blage of an automobile at mirac-
ulous speed But let the accurate
Val Street JoRyrsdl tell the tale:
~An official of a company manu-
featuring canning machinery tells OF
seeing two freight cars on the tracks
of a large chain grocery company
at It's milk canning plant in the
middle west. One car was empty
and the other was loaded with
empty cans. The empty cans were
taken from the car and sent through
the plant, filled with the milk which
had been cooked, the cans were
sealed, labeled, and then boxed and
placed m the other freight car and
m ffty-one minutes the car was
ready to start away"
Astounding though this tale of
canned milk may be, that of fruits
and vegetables which require tcrrid
climates is no less so. When the
Franciscan fathers started their mis-
sions IN California, they planted
olive trees which bore plentifuIIy.
For years CaIifornians knew the
joys of ripe olives, bat their method
of preserving was not adequate for
long storage after train trip TO the
East. Then some brilliant mind
conceived the idea Of sterilizing the
picked olives in cans-and the trick
was done.

OUR NATIONAL DIET

Tf1HEN the Asiatic comes to this
Til country he increases his diet,
adding that most vital of foods,
milk. His children, when they grow
up, are usually taller than their
parents. Scientists, in explaining
this fact, attribute it TO the generally
improved and varied diet available
here, especially IN the inexpensive
form of canned foods, and partic-
ularly to the addition of milk and
many fruits.
Everything Changes
The change m the diet of the
Asiatic is only one example of the
miraculous changes which increas-
ingly efficient transportation and
newer knowledge Of scientific pre-
serving has made IN the food habits
of everyone.
Milk is an example of the change.
Only yesterday milk was produced
on the farms just around a town,
brought in IN a pail and poured or
dipped into containers provided by
the housewife Today, the milk that
is sold fresh IS pasteurized and
bottled under the most sanitary con-
ditions and brought to market as
soon as possible. But as distances

COOLIDGE PRAISES WIFE
AS GREAT SOCIAL AIDE

Former President Calvin Coolidge
pauses in his latest article in The
American Magazine, to give high
praise to Mrs. Coolidge as a White
House hostess, saying that he had
received many compliments upon
her efficient manner of handling So
cial affairs.
"a competent man is assigned
from the State Department to have
the management of the White House
official social functions" says Cool
idge, discussing the social side of
the presidency. "He has under him
a considerable staff located in one
of the basement rooms, known as the
Social Bureau. They keep a careful
list of all those who leave cards and
of the officials who should be invited
to receptions, which is constantly re-
vised to suit changing conditions.
while the President has super
vision over all these functions, the
most effective way to deal with them
is to provide a capable Mistress of
the White House. 1 have often been
complimented on the choice which 1
made nearly twenty-five years ago.
These functions were so much in the
hands of Mrs. Coolidge that often
times 1 did not know what guests
were to be present until I met them
in the Blue Room just before going
in to dinner.
"The social functions are almost
as much a part of the life of official
Washington as a session of the Con-
gress or a term of the Supreme
Court"
Coolidge points out that aside from
official affairs the President can ac-
cept no outside invitations and the
rule is rigidly kept because it MAIN
tains the keynote of equality upon
which the government is founded.

attention to securing foreign patents
for their products. This has prompt

Milk and Fruit Beverages
Evaporated milk may be mixed
with fruit juices to make a pleas
ant and nutritious summer drink.
Because of the manufacturing pro-
cess which the milk has undergone,
the milk will not curdle with the
addition of the juice. An excellent
recipe IS: dissolve one tablespoon
sugar in one and one-half table
spoons fruit juice and one-third cup
syrup from canned pineapple. Mix
one-half cup evaporated milk with
one-forrth cup water and beat into
the fruit juice. Or shake in closed

fruits to make sauces for cake or
