RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Dry skim milk is one of the
cheapest and best of foods. It
contains everything but the fat of
whole milk.
For the last three years the gov
ernment has distributed about Al
million pounds of this product
through the Federal Surplus Com
modities Corporation. Many peo-
pie have been educated to use it.
The government is anxious to
promote the use of this product
first because of its fundamental
health value in the diet and second
because of its greater use would
help the dairy farmer.
The typical Delaware diet is too
low in calcium. Dry skim milk
would be the cheapest way to add
this extra calcium to the diet. Dry
skim milk is not substitute for
whole fresh milk, in that It does
not contain the butter fat. 1t
should be used in addition to, and
not to replace whole milk in the
diet.
Many farmers either waste their
skim milk or feed it to Inelr Ilve-
stock. Important as it is that
farm animals be well fed, it is GER
tainly more important that our
children get the food they need.
An increase in the amount of
dry milk consumed would help our
milk producers in Delaware. Much
of the milk which we produce, al
though it is not itself dried, does
go into a pool to replace Pennsyl-
vania milk which has been dried.
Dry skim milk can be used for
the same purposes as fresh skim
milk. 1t is easy to use in cooking
and many of our Delaware people
are familiar with it from surplus
commodity distribution.
The best package which has
been developed in a glassive-lined
paper bag, moisture proof which
can be bought in quantities for a
little over one cent apiece.
Retailers are glad to stock any
product which their customers re-
quest. Many years Of research and
of public education have opened
the way for the sale of this valu-
able product. Now it is up to the
consumers to take advantage OF
this research and education.
Government bulletins with direc-
tions for using dry skim milk can
be secured by writing the Board OF
Health.

Ten cases of Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever in Delaware have
been reported to the State Board
of Health since 1882; that is ten
cases in seven years. During the
same period there were six cases
Of typhus fever, a disease some
what like Rocky Mountain Spotted
Fever, and which can usually only
be differentiated from it by labor
atory tests. Combining the totals
Of these two diseases, the incidence
then averages just a little over
two cases year. Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever or Tick Fever is
transmitted in nature solely
through the feeding of ticks. An
imals cannot be infected by con-
tact and no instance of contact
transmission of man is known. A
tick has to get the germ from an
infected animal; the tick can then
transfer the germ to another an
imal or man by feeding, and it can
also transmit the germ to its off
spring. This can go on for gen
Grafton after generation. The va
riety of tick found in this State
which can so transmit the disease
is the common dog tick. The fol-
lowing instructions should be fol-
lowed to avoid getting the disease:
"a Try if possible to prevent
being bitten by ticks. Keep out of
infested areas if possible. Wear
clothing likely to prevent the ticks
getting to any skin surface.
(2) Examine the body carefully
at least once, preferably twice, a
day, or more often. If a tick has
attached itself, remove it if pos
sible with the gloved fingers, or
with tWeezers. If the tick is
crushed and blood exudes, wash off
the blood with soap and water,
then rinse with alcohol or with
some disinfectant solution.
81 If the place of biting can be
told, drill it with clean toothpick
moistened with iodine or some
such disinfectant, being careful to
get the disinfectant to the deepest
recesses of the bite. This will be
little beyond the deepest layers of
the skin.
