Laboratory System
Of State Largely
Used By Doctors
No Charge Is Made For Exam
lining Specimens In Testing
Various Disease Organisms

Some of the newer methods used
in the State meteorological Labora-
tories in testing specimens of blood
sputum, swabs from the throat OF
nose, urine and feces, and specimens
of other kinds, for the organisms
that cause typhoid fever, tularemia
rabbit fever) undulant fever, Rocky
Mountain spotted fever (tick-bite
fever), tuberculosis, diphtheria, and
other diseases, were shown recently
to groups of doctors in Carroll and
Howard Counties, on the invitation of
the medical societies of these counties
by DIR. c. A. Perry, Chief of the
Bureau of Bacteriology of the State
Department of Health. Similar dem
onstrations have been asked for and
will be arranged for physicians in
other parts of the State.
In describing the work of the lab
oratories, DR.. R. H. Riley, Director
of the State Department of Health
said: "The State Laboratories form a
network which covers every part of
the State. They are so situated that
each is readily accessible to the ply
sicians in that particular district.
They are at the service of the doctors
in the counties, day and night, every
day in the year, as aids in the dag
nosis of disease.
"The Central Laboratory is at the
headquarters of the Department in
Baltimore City; the Branch Labora-
tory for the Eastern Shore is at Hur-
lock. The other Branch Laboratories
are at Cumberland, Hagerstown,
Frederick and Rockville.
physicians who avail themselves
of the services of the laboratories,
either take or send the material sub
mitted for examination, to the Central
or the nearest Branch Laboratory. A
report of the findings is sent to the
doctor, by telephone or by mail, as
soon as the tests are completed. A
duplicate copy of the report is sent at
the same time to the County Health
Officer.
Containers for the specimens, with
instructions for their use, are furnish
ed to the doctors, free of charge. No
charge is made for the examinations.
The containers may be obtained from

Save Your Eyes
BIZ DIR. j. FRED ANDREAE
Secretary, American Academy
of Optometry.

Elimination of all glossy paper in
text books in favor of paper with a
mat finish is one of the remedies adj
vocated by optometrists to eliminate
eye strain for school children.
The size of the print is likewise an
important factor in preventing eye
strain, according to Dr.. J. Fred An
dreae, Secretary of the American
Academy of Optometry, who declares
no child of 10 or under should be per-
mitted to study book printed with
anything less than IL point lower case
type or 8 point capitals. For older
children, nothing smaller than 10
point is advised, since small print
induces near-sightedness and hastens
any latent cases of defective vision.
"The desk in which the child must
sit for hours also is important" DR..
Andreae added. "The desk must be
regulated to fit each child. Posture
and eyesight go hand in hand and a
fault in one will likely induce fault
in the other. With the child comfort
ably seated, he can read and write
without tying himself in knots. The
desk must be finished to prevent
glare.
illuminating engineers have work
ed out code outlining colors for
rooms and the position of lights and
windows in relation to desks. Optome-
trists go step further and recon-
mend that blackboards be placed more
carefully and angled so as to not re-
fleet light improperly into the pupils
eyes,"

United States editors remind the

tees freedom of the press, and request
that this guarantee be maintained in
any newspaper code.
Such request should be unneces-
sary. 1t is hard to imagine any inven-
ton, however desirable, suddenly wip-
ing out a provision of the Constitution.
In addition, many editors in the
United States would undertake to main
tain freedom Of the press on their own
account, regardless of any kind of a
change in the Constitution. And if such
a change came, not few would move
to Canada or some other country with
freedom still remaining.

SPENDING is SAVING NOW

True economy that which obtains the largest possible
return for dollar spent Truer economy to spend that
dollar at time when it will bring the most We have
had number of of extreme depression Prices have
dropped to very low levels Buying has been close
to nonresident There money in the countrybut
who had it afraid to spend They went without
needed articles in order to keep their savings intact they
permitted their property to fall into dsrepair.
If local citizens join those of other localities in pur
suing that mid policy they going to be literally out of
luck. Hoarded money is going down in value The
worth of dollar depends what it will buy, and six
months from will buy far less than it will today
In other words you keep money in nonproductve state
at present amounts to throwing certain percent of it
away.
You get value from your money the present time
only by putting it in There better time
to install heating plant buy stove; there
better time to repair replace roof, to
build house-to paint to thousand similar things.
Every dollar spent will appreciate in vauewhat buys
will in very short time have market value far in
of what you paid Think it over! True saving is
through wise spending

A GOOD GUIDE

Newspaper advertising is a speedometer as we'll as a
barometer of business tells far how fast trade
is moving Many business will not spend money for
advertising until they definite signs of life in
business Just authentic buying signs appear the
horizon and result merchants in sections of the
country doing advertising There be better
indication of business growth and these live merchants
the who advertising going to make it grow
still rapidly in the territory they If you make
people buy you first make them want what you have
to SELL and way has yet been found that will do that
quckly-and economicaly-as newspaper advertising
The pendulum will swing back quicker for the fellow who
adverses than will for the who holds off until bust
gets to booming again.
