Health Department Issues July
Report For Montgomery County

The report Of the Board of Health
for Montgomery County for the
month of July follows:
Communicable Diseases usual
falling off in the number Of COM
municable disease cases occurred
during the month. Spotted fever
showed a sharp rise to four new
cases but all are recovering salts
factorily. Fortunately no increase
in typhoid has occurred, the only
cases reported so far being two in
the early part of the year, one in
June, and one on August 5.
While the county is beneftdnl
from a very low mortality from such
infections as typhoid and spottel

Apples, Pears, on Spurs

Most apples and pears are borne
on spurs. Spurs are merely shoots
which have slowed down in growth
They may grow a very small frac-
ton of an inch year after year, pro.
ducing only few small leaves and
forming leaf buds each year.

lever, IL is Stlll losing too many
babies each year from diarrhea and
enteritis. These deaths are almost
all preventable, but we had Z deaths
in 1885 and in 1884. This number
MEANS that there must have been a
great many other babies who went
through severe illness from the same
cause. The health department dis
tributes pamphlets dealing with the
prevention of this disease.
Typhoid Carrier-In connection
with an investigation of a case of
typhoid fever, carrier Of this dis
ease was found. BY typhoid carrier
is meant healthy person who dis
tributes typhoid fever organisms
from the body in the excretia or
urine. From health department in
formation, it is estimated that in
Montgomery County only small per-
centage, probably less than one-half
of one percent of the population are
typhoid carriers. A typhoid carrier
is of no danger to the public if he
does not engage in the handling Of
food.
Syphilis-A move to extend and
improve the county program to con-
troll syphilis to gaining Roadway.
Following the article by DR.. Parran
i'm the July Readers Digest, this SUBJ
ject was brought up for discussion
by the Public Health Lay Council.
It was also discussed by the County
Medical Society. One of the doctors
in the rural part of the county
began on July 22nd new syphilis
clinic in cooperation with the Health
Department.
I, Nursing Advisory Service-Miss
Catherine Corley, newly appointed
Nurse Instructor in the State De-
pertinent of Health, spent several
days in the county giving advisory
service to the health department
nurses. This assistance from the
State Department of Health fulfills
an important need.
Security Fund Nurse-Miss Ruth
Brooks, recently assigned as pub
lie health nurse to Montgomery Coun-
ty under the Social Security Act,
was transferred on July 10th to
Anne Arundel County.
Sanitary Privies Montgomery
County has received rating of only
66.6 for it's sanitary privy con-
struction program. This was calcu-
lated by the Assistant State Direc-
tor of the Project. The principal
reasons for our low ratio of man
hours per privy and the small num-
her of men assigned to the project
in proportion to the quota. A spe-
cial effort has been made to over
come these deficiencies.
Complaints Sanitary inspec-
tors have been making special
effort to secure more prompt abate-
ment of nuisapces. Delays in the
past have been due. to an increase
in number of complaints received
and to more complications concerning
property ownership.

try districts e room with 6 fire. place is helpful.
 Provisions must also be made to prevent drafts by use of suitable window boards or screens.
 The bed or crib should be free- ly movable and should be placed in such relationship to the windows that the child will not have to lie and stare at the direct sunlight.
 If there is an infectious disease, all unnecessary drapes, carpets pictures, or other materials should be taken out of the room, as 1t might afterward be necessary to destroy the materials with which the sick child has been in contact.
 This applies also to toys and books. Such materials should be inc expensive and easily washed or destroyed.
 Sick children should not be al- lowed to play with toy animals made of fur or cloth, since these accumulate discharges and will in any event have to be burned when the child recovers. For the same reason, 1t is not advisable to have upholstered furniture in the sick room, but preferably hard wood or metal pieces.
 When possible, the child's sick room. as well as the adults, should always be adjacent to bathroom as this will lessen greatly the amount of work necessary in taking care of the child.
 The mother or the nurse who is responsible for the care of the child should keep available a smack ol wash dress to be worn whenever the person is in attendance on the invalid.

Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Meticulous grooming becomes increasingly important as you get older. A wrinkled blouse and Q shiny nose may not detract much from the cute prettiness of nineteen. year-old, but on equally wrinkled blouse and such obvious lack of makeup will stamp her mother as dowdy.
 Mature women shoul apply Cos- metics sparingly, A lavish coat of rouge makes an older face look hard. Layers of lipstick and eye. shadow emphasizes lines and wrin- kies. On the other hand, e touch of lipstick gives the lips c younger, fresher look and Q speck of rouge, meticulously blended, is 6 fine thing, too. Just when to stop apply end start blending is something each in. dividual must figure out for her. self.
 There is no reason in the world why the hair of mature person can't be as shiny and attractive as 1t was when she was younger. This, too, is Q question of proper care. Nightly brushings, regular scalp treatments and correct shampoo routines solve the problem about how to have healthy hair, regard- less of the age of its owner.
 If you decide to dye your gray ing locks, do have the job done by an expert who knows not only how to apply the preparation but how to choose 6 shade that matches ex- actly the color your hair used to be.
 Don't let anyone persuade you to use black dye if your hair used to be brown. And stay away from hen. na unless the original color of your hair was henna-red. Beauty arti. fees are applied for one reason-to enhance your natural beauty, not to change 1t. Keep that in mind, especially as birthdays pile up on you.
