HOW TO KEEP WELL

usual foot wound that happens that way
easily pushed far into the damaged
tissue where the ordinary methods of
cleansing do not reach them. Tet-
anus thrives best where it is excluded
from air.
Lock-jaw was a commonplace in the
days of uncontrolled July Fourth cele-
brations. Powder burns and explosions
produced deep wounds and carried with
them germs from the ground where
they exploded. Nowadays, with the re-
duced selling of fire works, and the
use of anti-tetanus serum Immediately
after any such accident, Fourth of July
lock-jaw has been practically elimin-
ated The World War also showed
practically no tetanus deaths among
its fatalities, due to routine use of
the serum, where in former wars, tet-
anus was major cause of battle
casualties.
Unfortunately, says the medical
committee, use of the serum is some
times accompanied by an uncomfor-
table serum sickness accompanied by
hives, which may make people hesitate
when they are confronted by the ques-
ton: Shall or shall I not take this
serum which the doctor recommends in
this case?"
"Of course, the doctor cannot know
certainly that tetanus infection will
develop even under the most suspicious
conditions. 1t may not. On the other
hand, it may, and the slightest posi-
bility of such thing should be enough
to justify taking the risk of slight,
temporary illness for the sake of pro-
lection against one of the most certain
and horrible of deaths"

To Remove Peach Stains.

Practically all fruit stains can be re-
moved with boiling water when they
are fresh and moist Stretch the
stained portion over a bowl and pour
boiling water from a teakettle at a
height of three or four inches, so that
water will strike the stain with some
force. Peach stains are "set" with soap
and water. Examine for stains before
laundering.
Javelle water is effective to use on
white cottons and linens. To make
Javelle water, dissolve l pound of
washing soda in l quart of water; to
this add Il pound of ordinary bleach
ing powder Chloride of lime); filter
and bottle.
Always neutralize Javelle water with
solution of "a ounce of sodium theo-
Sulphate and 1-8 ounce of So per cent
acetic acid dissolved in 2 quarts of
water) M
Apply Javelle water to spot with
cork, neutralize, rinse thoroughly
Javelle water and the neutralizing
solutions are very effective solutions to
have in home for the removal of many
household stains, but should never be
used on colored materials.
Sticky fly paper stains may be re-
moved with turpentine, carbon terra
chloride, denatured alcohol, or gaso-
line

Horse flies or deer flies are biting
more savagely than usual in many
parts of Minnesota, physicians of the
Minnesota State Medical Association
report in bulletin issued by the Public
Health Education committee today.
Physicians and health authorities are
investigating a series of infections re-
sulting sometimes in assesses that
have developed following horsefly bites,
according to information contained in
the bulletin. Instances of a serious
disease called tularemia that afflicts
rabbits and squirrels have also been
traced to both ticks and horse flies as
carriers.
The bulletin warns swimmers, camp
ers and others likely to be exposed to
these biting flies to treat all bites i'm
mediately as general preventive of
either trouble.
"The infections resulting in abscess
that have followed upon horse fly bites
in a number of persons this summer
are not related to tularemia infections"
the doctors say. 'They are serious
matter however, often requiring sur
gerry to open and heal them and hold
ing possibilities Of general systematic
complications.
"The only preventive that can be adj
sect bites of any kinds with the or
binary antiseptic dressings. If the in
Illumination does not quickly dis
appear, application of moist warm
boric acid dressings is recommended
until the doctor can see it."
Tularenia is only occasionally car
ried by insects, the bulletin points out.
Direct contact with the sick animal is
the usual way it is transmitted to
human beings. Hunters or housewives
dressing the animals for cooking receive
the infection through cuts or breaks
in the skin of their hands or arms.
Every now and then, even in these
postwar days, there is one of those
tragic cases of lock-ja so-called,
which bring very forcibly to the doc
tors attention that there are still
people who do not appreciate the
danger that may lurk in deep wounds,
especially those in which soil or manure
have had chance to enter.
Most people have taken it for granted
of late years that the problem of lock-
jaw is solved" Minnesota doctors say
in bulletin issued today by the Public
Health Education Committee of the
Minnesota State Medical Association
1T is solved only to this extent. There
is a serum called anti-tetanus serum
which, if it is used within "a hours of
the time of the injury will prevent the
development of tetanus or lock-jaw in
the vast majority of cases. It is pre-
tentative, however, not specific, and
it is not nearly so effective when it
must be used as measure of treatment
after the infection has actually de-
veloped."
Great care should be exercised to
prevent in the first place accidents
that present possibility of tetanus in
lection, the physicians point out.
Children, particularly, should be pro-
tected. They should not be allowed to
go barefoot where there is danger of
injury from old nails, discarded tin
cans, or glass. They should be par
ticularly warned against going bare
foot in barnyards and stables. The

Ralph Waldo Emerson's View

Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1.-THE wisest
of Americans" mentions the name of
Shakespeare twice as frequently In
his writings as he does that Of his
next favorite, Goethe. He is reported
to have said, Il am always happy to
meet persons who perceive the tran
scendent superiority of Shakespeare
over all other writer's"

A Closet or Cupboard for Children.


Is there any peace at your house be-
fore the children have found their
things and gone off to school?' Have
you thought of the reason why the
children can not find their own wraps,
rubberS, and other things? The daily
scramble before schooltime is usually
caused by the lack of suitable places
for the children's things-places that
they can call their own, and equipped
so that they can use them easily
Why not provide suitable places for
possessions, and then keep the family
in the habit of using them.
Haven't you noticed that mother
seems to be the family valet in many
households? She spends hours every
day in picking up blocks after Tommy,
muddy rubbers after Mary, and night
shirts, soiled clothes, and papers, mag
azines, etc., after the various members
of the family. How much more simple
and sensible and helpful it would be
if everybody looked after his own things
everybody from grandfather down to
the two-year old.
Besides good cupboard with con-
venient shelves and drawers that the
children can reach and call their own,
have you provided rods that are low
enough for them in the cloak closets
for their wraps?
A strip of hooks near the basement
entry is ideal for the children's play
clothes, and narrow shelf for caps
and mittenS. A rack or shelf below for
rubbers and overshoes is also an asset.

Odd Voluntary Levies

One of the most curious systems of
voluntary levies was that adopted by
a Hertfordshire (England) lady. She
fined herself "for salmon caught, for
stays and game killed, and for alb
sence from church" and endowed two
hospital beds with the proceeds.

TAX BANKRUPTCY

Between 1913 and 1929 the nation.
al wealth increased from $192,5OO,.
900 to 1851 ,S73, 900 ,O00-an increase
of SS per cent.
National income increased from
$34, 100000 900 to S85,20O, 900, ,00O-
an increase of 147 per cent.
During the same period total gov
ernmental expenditures, Federal,
State and local, grew from $2,919,-
100000 to $13, O,OO0-an in
crease of BAT per cent.
Governmental Indebtedness in
creased from $4,2O5, 100000 to $780,
1874 ,00O,000-an increase of 615 per
cent.
In 1918 governmental expenditures
represented 8.5 per cent of the ma
tional income, and in 1929 represent
ed 1853 per cent.
Bad as this may seem it by no
means tells the worst. Since 1929
taxes have steadily risen while in
comes have sharply declined. 1t is
reliably estimated that this year
government will absorb not less than
80 per cent of the national income.
1t is apparent that we are facing
tax bankruptcy. There is a point
beyond which we cannot pay-a
point at which taxation ends and
confiscation begins. All over the
country farms, homes, real estate,
even factories, have been taken over
by the states in lieu of taxes. We
are at last paying the price of gov
ernment waste and extravaganza.
Only a decisive tax revolt" that de-
mands economy and efficiency and
retrenchment, can save
us from the inevitable consequences
of the present trend.

BRIDGEVILLE

E Last week the editor wrote an
= printed some facts about the tow

: four items-two were local adver
tisements for stores which shoult
have paid for the publicity. One tolC
of the writer's personal sorrow a
} the death of one time owner of the
DickersOn Hotel in Bridgeville. One
item told news about the tomato
crop; the price paid at canneries
was and 8 cents per basket. The
other told of Miss Annie Russell
being i'll and staying at Norman
Draper's cottage at Indian River.
The fire sale advertisement is
omitted as news; it's ain advertise
