PROTECTION ADVISED

"Summer-the season for camping
swimming and outdoor picnics-is
also the season for typhoid fever"
DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health, warns Mary
landers who may be planning country
activities. "Inoculation against this
disease is advised now, as part of the
preparation for vacations.
Communication against typhoid
fever can be conferred safely by the
physician, usually by means of three
shots given at intervals of one week.
Since The protection lasts about three
years, repetition of the treatment is
recommended every third year for

against this disease within the last
three years should take the inocula.

range for safe disposal of sewage.
Supervision of known carriers and
the isolation of i'll patients have also
helped to prevent the disease.

however, give anybody false sense
of security. Personal immunity is
still highly desirable for those who
would enjoy the warm-weather plea
sures free from the threat of disease.
Sites chosen for camping and picnics
are often remote from safe food and
milk or approved water supplies.
Clear and sparkling appearance is no
guarantee that water is safe to drink
or even to swallow in small quantt-
ties while swimming. Even in super

source. Immunization is, therefore,
strongly urged"

SCIENCE SCRATCHES POISON IVY
OFF LIST

Science has happy tidings this
summer for American vacationists
allergic to that "Dracula" of summer
vegetation known as poison ivy. The
good news comes in the form of a
new war-born chemical called 2,4-D
(Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), now
available to operators of vacation
Fairgrounds and owners of summer
homes and camps.
When sprayed on poison ivy plants
this new running mate of the other
new chemical wonder, DOT, will
render the obnoxious weed totally
harmless. TIE nasty stuff collapses
soon after spraying, as the chemical
penetrates to the very roots of the
plant and the plant actually strangles
to death. Experiments show that
1000 square feet of weed-infested
area can be covered with approx
mately 81 worth of the chemical
PAD, or Weed-No-More.
Each year additional thousands
who have never contracted the mala-
dy before find themselves no longer
immune; therefore, cutting or pull
ing the plants and roots out by hand
is a chance not worth risking. 1t has
also been proved that ivy poisoning
may be contracted merely by getting
smoke on the body from fires in
which the plants are being burned;
therefore the method of killing them
by spraying not only is simple and eff
fective today, but eliminates any dam
ger of a person becoming sensitized.
Once the ivy poisoning enters the
blood stream the victim is usually
faced with six more years of sum-
mer misery before it burns" itself
out. Merely being near the plant
growth. even without actual contact
often causes recurrence, according
to past surveys of the malady.
In summers to come vacationing
nomads will wander through sprayed
woodland areas in most sections of
the country without fear of this vaca-
tion-sp 2ller, thus proving that science
has marched on ahead.

SPRAY FOR TOMATO BLIGHT

Tomatoes are the most popular
garden crop, and one of the heaviest
yielders. So a spray program with
Bordeaux mixture to prevent heavy
losses to the crop from late blight
will pay any gardener who grows this
favored crop. Late blight infection is
spreading through much of the state
and the recent wet weather has made
it much more serious. The blight
kills the leaves and thus reduces pos
sible yield. 1t also attacks the fruits
and makes them worthless for food.

Mexican bean beetles are getting

age to snap beans, and to other beans
as well, tkis summer. Rotenons dust,
containing at least three-fourths of
one per cent rotenone is the BEST in

While added supplies of rotenone are
expected from professors in July, the
supply may be little shor. for the
present need.
A mixture of 60 per cent cryolite
and 40 per cent sulfur has also been
used by gardeners for control of bean
beetle. Gardeners who cannot get
rotenone in the proper strength
should try this dust for bean beetles,

enough of both acid and pectin for
making jelly. Apricots, cherries,
peaches, raspberries, pears, straw
berries usually lack either or both
acid and pectin, but make excellent
jelly when combined with an equal
amount of tart apple jelly juice
or with commercial pectin. If pee
tin is used, the instructions supplied
with it must be followed.
It is a good plan to can unsweet-
ened fruit juice and make it into
jelly as needed, because freshly
made jelly has much better flavor
than that which has stood several
months.
We are indebted to Gladys Kim
brough, Home Service Director for
Ball Brothers Company, manufactur-
er of fruit jars, for few notes
which should be helpful to those who
have not already mastered the art
of making jelly or superior quality.
JELLY NOTES
For natural jelly "like mother
used to make" use fruits which I'M
der normal conditions contain
enough pectin and acid to yield
good jelly.
For unusual jellies, combine the
juices of such fruit as red cherries,
Strawberries, or apricots with an
equal amount of apple juice or with
a good commercial pectin.
Fruit should be hard-ripe for jelly
making. Under-ripe fruit lacks fla
vor, that which is "cream and sug-
ar" ripe won't jell; however, some
persons prefer to use half under
ripe and half fully ripe fruit.
Cook fruits until soft but not
mushy to extract the juice. Cook
ing is necessary in order to extract
the pectin from the pulp. Cut apples
in small pieces, skin, core and all.
Crush small fruits before cooking.
Remove grapes from stems and
caps from berries to prevent off
flavor.
The amount of water to add to
fruits for cooking varies. Apples
require enough to cover. Most juicy
fruits need just enough to prevent
sticking; however, few, cranber-
ries, for example, require more.
If you have no jelly stand and
bag, tie two thicknesses of cheese
cloth over the top of deep enamel.
ware kettle of a clean dish pan.
Pour the hot fruit on the cloth and
let drip free of juice. (The fruit
from which the juice has drained
may be put through a colander and
used for making butter or jam.)
Don't make the mistake Of using
too much sugar. The general rule
is three cups to one quart of juice,
but currants and green gooseberries
usually work out better if three and
a half to four cups of sugar are
used to each quart of juice.

It Was Tried


D. Churchill, surgical consultant of
the Allied Mediterranean forces,
toured six German military hospi-
tai areas and reported his findings.
The report is most significant in the
light of efforts to make medicine
the servant of politics in America.
Comments on the report are here
reprinted by permission of COL
LIERS, the National Weekly.
Gas we all know, American doc
tors care of wounded in this war
has been and continues phenomenal
as regards its record-breaking per-
centages of cures and it's develop
ment of new techniques and rem
edies. There was considerable ex-
pectation that the German doctors
. would have some pretty phe-
nomenal achievements of their own
to report but Colonel Churchill
did not find them.
A Generation Behind
ellis overall conclusion was
that German handling of wounded
was about 20 years behind the
American procedure. Going into
details, he reported that German
army doctors as rule just casual
ly passed up badly wounded men
on the assumption that they were
going to die anyway, whereas our
doctors fight to the last gasp for
every wounded mans life, and fire.
quently win.
GAS for professional pride in pull
ing off near-miracles of cure or
amelioration, such pride just was
not in the bulk of German military
physicians and surgeons. They
were victims of apathy and lack of
ambition which would enrage typ
ical American doctor. This is sad
backslide from Germany's proud
position as world leader in medi-
cine and surgery in the pre-Hitler
days.
How Did 1t Happen?
care there any lessons in it for
us? 1t began to happen soon after
Hitler saddled his brand of to-
talitarianism on Germany. It seems
reasonable to conclude that it hap
pened because Hitler saddled Nazi
totalitarianism on Germany. . In
Nazi philosophy, your race and poll
tics matter far more than your
brains and talents.
You might be a brilliant physician
or surgeon or research scientist,
but if you were Jew or an anti
Nazi of any description, you had to
get out of Germany if you could,
go to a concentration camp if
you couldn't get out. Thus Hitler
and his crew decimated German
science. Their masterrace convic-
tions, too, led logically to the
use, in some concentration camps,
of humans of "inferior" breed as
guinea pigs for laboratory ex-
periments.
Medicine VS.. Politics
"Ruled by the politicians and
browbeaten by Nazi gangsters, Ger
man medicine Con the strength of
Colonel Churchilps findings, at any
rate) withered and, in due time, the
German armed forces paid, in {.
bigger death totals than they need
have suffered" Here is the sound
conclusion reached by Golfers, a
conclusion in which Americas best
doctors concur:
"The lesson in the German ex-
perience seems clear enough. /.
There is no substitute for a free,
bold and inquisitive medical profess
sion or for generously financed and
expertly stated medical research,
carried on year-in and year-out. It
is devotedly to be hoped that the
lesson of the German medical col
lapse will not be lost on u.s."

A good many miles of land and sea
lie between Antwerp, Belgium and
Maryland. To DR.. jan
Albert Goris, of Antwerp, however,
our little Maryland city has long
been familiar as the birthplace of
Mrs. William Singer, Jr. (the former
Anne Brugh), widow of the distin-
guished painter whose substantial
contribution to the renovation of the
Rubens home in Antwerp is CRATE
fully remembered by Belgian friends
of the couple.
DR.. Goris, who spoke at the Wash
ington County Museum on Thursday
evening, in connection with the extra
open night of the William f. Singer
Jr., Memorial Exhibit of Paintings
and Pastels, paid a gracioustribute to
the Singers and to the Museum
which they donated to the commun-
ity. He had known for long time,
he said, of the museum and its i'm
portant contribution to the cultural
life of Hagerstown, and was glad to
have the opportunity of being here
He also spoke feelingly of Belgian
gratitude toward all those who have
made it possible to bring back to it's
original magnifcence, the Rubens
house some of the greatest of Belgian
painters, which is soon to be open to
the public.
DR.. Goris, who is a celebrated
writer and scholar and is at present
Commissioner of Information for the
Belgian Government, lectured to an
interested audience in the Museum s
