CITIZENS ASKED TO
FILE REQUESTS FOR
ACCOUNT NUMBERS

Mississippians subject to the
Federal Old-Age Benefits provi-
sions of the Social Security Act
who have not already filed an SS-5
application for a social security
account number should promptly
take this initial step toward set
ting up and maintaining THEN
age benefit account, according to
the Jackson office of the Social
Security Board.
Board officials explained that
Treasury regulations require every
worker in a covered employment,
which in general terms means all
employees in trade and industry
to file an application with his To-
cal post office or with a field Of
flee Of the Board, if he prefers.
1t was further pointed out that
persons not employed at present
but who expect to get seasonal or
part-time work, as well as those
seeking permanent employment,
should make application for an
account number so they can show
it to their employer when they
are hired.
Federal officials emphasized
that no one should have more than
one social security account num-
Der, and consequently those who
have already received a number
or have filed an application should
not fill out another form SS-5. In
case an account number card is
lost, the employee should consult
his local postmaster. If more than
one account number card has been
received, he should retain the one
bearing the name used on his
present employers payroll and
return all others to the p~ostoffice
for retirement.

SO in 1900, the old wooden ice

As with the radio-developing

"There are three importan.
things about ICE refrigeration
We call it 3Iway food protection
A constant cold even temperature
is maintained whether the ic'
compartment is full or nearl,
empty. Second, is "Balancec
Humidity" Because of the wat

not too moist. This prevents
foods from drying out. Third, il

air flows from the unconditional
ice compartment through thu

air in the refrigerator fresh anc

Many of these cases could have
been saved if it had been possible
to furnish serum for them. How
ever, it costs from twenty to forty
dollars to treat a case with serum
and unfortunately most of the
cases do not have the money. Tt
is a sad commentary on our civil
lization that we can spend millions
on everything else but we let peo-
ple die for the want of a few dol

these were children and people in
the prime Of their lives.
There were II new cases of
syphilis-one of our most common
contagious diseases. A disease
that affects about one out of
every ten adults in our country
accounts for IS per cent of the
eases of insanity, kills untold
thousands of babies and cripples
thousands with heart disease and
other complications. 1t is a dis.
ease which the taxpayers are pay
ing for in the support of insane
asylums, charity hospitals, in
economic loss and in many ways
not apparent directly but one
which can be prevented and cured
if the proper measures are used.
We believe that we are going
to be fortunate enough to start 8

the near future through the coop.

county and through funds made
available by the Federal Govern,

been able to do.
We have already been able in

per cent of all babies born in our
country are born with syphilis

the mothers before the birth of

us wake up to our responsibility

so deadly by a cloak of foolish

HEALTH WORK In
THE STATE IN 1885
Promotion and Disease
Prevention Activities
Are Cited

Protection afforded by the health
promotion and disease prevention
activities carried on throughout
Maryland by the County Depart
ments of Health is indicated in a
report prepared by DR.. R. H Riley
director of the State Department
of Health, of the work in the coun-
ties in 1896.
The activities in each county
are tabulated with special refer
ence to communicable disease pre-
vention or control; immunization
against diphtheria, typhoid and
smallpox; the care and supervision
OF persons suffering from tubercu-
losis; attendance at venereal dis
ease clinics; the health superyi-
sion of mothers and young chill
dren; dental care of young chill
dren; medical examination and in
spections of school children: the
sanitary supervision of food handl-
ing industries, of tourists, labor
and recreation camps, and with re-
spect to other duties.
Because the prevention or con-
troll Of communicable diseases oc-
cupies so large a part of the
health officers time, that item has
first place in the report. During
1896, 1922 cases of notifiable dis
eases were reported to the State
Department of Health from the
Counties, and nearly 10000 home
visits were made by the county
health officers and public health
nurses to discover sources of in
lection and to establish the neces-
sary protective measures to pre-
vent the spread of the diseases.
Over 21,000 young children were
immunized against diphtheria;
10,557 persons were protected
against typhoid fever, and nearly
5000 were vaccinated against
smallpox. All protective measures
or this sort were undertaken with
the cooperation of physicians prac-
ticing in the counties.
Over 1880 visits were made to-
the homes of persons suffering
from tuberculosis or who had been
in contact with the disease. In
cooperation with the Maryland Tu-
berculosis Association all parts of
the State were reached by the
monthly chest clinics of which 237
were held during the year. Over
400 persons were examined at
the clinics for evidence of the
disease; 1,645 new cases were add
ed to those under supervision, and
617 wer placed in hospitals or san
atoria.
Monthly prenatal clinics were
held in 18 counties with an attend
ance Of over LOO expectant moth
ers. Child health conferences for
