CLEAN SKIN IS HEALTH ARMOR
Plenty Of Soap and Water Help Skin Fight Bacteria

It is well established that there ar,
always living germs on the skin. and
it seemed possible to the investigator
that perhaps some other mechanism
was responsible for the gradual dis.
appearance of the germs from ths
skin.
AS a result of their Investigations
the authors conclude that bacteria
applied to the skin diminish in num-
bers very rapidly, the greatest dim
mutton occurring during the first 10
minutes.
The most important factor in.
volved, they discovered, was the pres.
ence OF moisture. The organisms dis
appear more rapidly when the skin
dries rapidly than when it is kept
moist.
There seems to be no doubt but
that virulent germs getting on the
skin and finding a spot in which the
surface Is broken, such as occurs in
times Of wounds, bruises or other In
turies. may. set up serious infection.
In such instances, the use Of antisep-
tics and germicides brings about
rapid destruction Of the germs.
It is also we'll established that the
use Of plenty of soap and water is an
exceedingly useful technic for avoid
ing skin infections.

Medical Association

Were it not for the fact that the
human body contains mechanisms for
resisting infection, bacteria would
soon dominate the earth. Various
types of antiseptic solutions have
been developed by scientific medicine
to aid the body tissues in resisting
infection.
The skin was formerly considered
merely an envelope for the human
body, a sort of cover to hold in the
tissues or the organs. Now it is real
lied that the skin has it's W blood
supply and that it must be considered
an essential living tissue.
In order to find. out to what ex-
tent the skin could destroy bacteria,
Dr.. j. F. Norton and Miss Marguerite
Novy recently made special studies
on this point. The hands of work.
ers were put into a dilute suspension
Of bacteria. Then a sterile cotton
swab was rubbed over q designated
surface Of the skin and inoculated
into a plate Of culture medium. When
the bacteria grew, they were counted,
so that 1t was possible to determine
the extent to which the skin could
itself destroy germs.

New York, Nov. cit started wher
the wife went rummaging through ole
boxes and suitcases stuffed with treas.
ured junk.
And, OF course, that would be the
one evening in weeks when 1 had
called a temporary halt on theaters
and nightspots and come home for
a little quiet reading and writing.
why don't you throw all that stuff
away?" I inquired, mastering my most
masterful voice and sliding it into the
key Of annoyance. At the moment,
the frau was standing before a mir
ror, holding up n of those GOLDFISH
yer spangled vintage gowns that came
almost to the knees.
Either give 1t away or throw it
away! Why clutter up the house?" I
went on.
"You don't seem to recognize it

voice that indicated I had somehow
faux passed, as usual.
Eyes, yes-1'd know it anywhere!"
I bluffed.
"Well-1've kept 1t because it was
the first evening dress we were able
to afford 80. remember I got it for an
anniversary party ~"
"You mean to tell me that you've
lugged that from San Francisco to
New York? That it's been taking up
good space in a box. 80. That ends it!

It does so with a warm heart and a

The meeting of this great organi-

anew to those who live in cities and
who may need, occasionally, to be re-

fully to assist in placing agriculture
on a better plane. It Is trying to
put more dollars in the pockets Of
North Dakota's farmers. No one will
be happier, If they succeed, than the
business and professional people who
must sell their goods and services to
farmers, in the long run, or else not
market them at all.
The Farmers Union is q young r
g~aniZation, but a vital one. It looms
large In the affairs Of North Dakota
and the Northwest. It already has
an enviable record of achievement
and its leaders hope for greater
things. What the future holds for 1t
may be decided, in part, at this COLI
vention in u city.
Because Of the nature Of the en-
~terprises in which 1t is engaged. the
Farmers Union is a militant organi.
zation and. like all fighting groups,
It has its enemies. It advocates poll
cies and ideas which are at variance
with some of the things which have
been accepted by custom. It Is op-
posed by forces which are u~nfriendly
to it-but which could not be expect
ed to be otherwise.
The battles in which the Farmers
Union is engaged will be determined
by many factors, but most essential
Of all is that of service to the COM
munity in which 1t operates, the hon
esty and ability Of its leadership, and
the tenacity with which 1t pursues its
program.
