“GermResistance”
BY DR. MORRIS FISHKEIN
Editor, Journal of the American
Medical Association, and of
Ilygeia, the Health Magazine
It has been estimated that 50 per
cent of all of the diseases about
which medicine knows most are
caused by attacks on the human
body by germs capable of causing
disease. If one includes all of the
diseases which represent compli
cations and after-effects of infec
tions of the human body, the per
centage is probably much greater.
Students of infection are in
clined to include four factors as
chiefly responsible for infection of
the body: First, the presence of a
germ with sufficient toxic power to
grow in the body; second, a suffi
cient number of these germs to
overcome attacks by the body
against the germ; third, some spe
cial condition in the body that
makes it possible for the germ to
live and grow; and fourth, some
method of getting the germ into
the body.
Were it not for the fact that hu
man beings develop within their
bodies conditions which make it
difficult for germs to live and grow,
t lie human race would long since
have been destroyed by the bac
teria.
However, the resistance which
the human being has because of
these conditions is not absolute.
In the first place, the condition of
the human being changes from
time to time and there is evidence
that resistance is decreased when
tiie body is greatly undernourished,
or when a person is exceedingly
fatigued, or when he has been ex
posed to sudden severe changes of
temperature, or in several other
ways.
Therefore, the line of defense
varies in its strength from
time to time and when the enemy
is sufficiently numerous, or suffi
ciently stron2 it breaks through.
For this reason, even in the most
severe epidemics, some people es
cape although there are conditions
in which practically everyone at
tacked is unable to resist the in
vasion.
Such conditions occur, for exam
ple, when a population among
whom a disease has never pre
viously appeared suddenly comes
in contact with l he disease- This
occurred in the Farie Islands
when measles was brought by a
ship carrying white men, at which
time more than half the population
of the islands died of measles.
It sometimes happens that the
resistance of the body to one dis
ease Is broken down by a mild at
tack of a previous disease.
For instance, a person who has
had influenza or diabetes or tuber
culosis, or some other chronic dis
oider, may thereafter develop pneu
matic fever or tuberculosis much

Your
Children
By Oli*e Roberts Barton
BE MERRY WITH THE CHIL
DREN
I asked a middle-aged woman
recently If thero was anything
she would do differently if she had
a chance to bring up her children
again.
Almost before the question was
out she answered. "There certain
ly is something 1 would change. I
would be more foolish with them,
play with them and make non
sense part of our daily life."
"Well — didn't you? Perhaps
you forgot?"
"No, I didn't forget. Of course
there were times when we all
laughed and were happy, times I
played with them and all that.
But when I say ‘nonsense’ I mean
‘nonsense.’
"I always had my practical old
head In my way. I couldn't let
myself go. Everything had to
have a reason, evrn our fun.. Be
sides. usually I was worrying too
much about clean hands, or jam
on the table cloth, or the last bite
of spinach to let anything as un
necessary as nonsense interfere.
Too Much Dignity
"I think I would have been a
better mother in every way if I
could have forgotten my dignity
for a moment and looked upon
more things as a joke."
"Well, you are right, of course,"
I admitted. "Nonsense is neces
sary to all of use. and especially to
little children. It eases the nerves
like a bromide, lets us have fun
without even thinking what it’s all
about, and is a fine antidote for
trouble.”
"The children used to talk gib
berish.” she went on. "and I al
ways shut them up because to me
it was silly. I thougnt they would
turn into imbeciles or morons,
Now I see that what I should have
done, at least something was to
enter into the spirit of it and an
swer them in the same way. I was
just one chance to laugh we all
missed. I could at least have pre
tended it was funny when they
thought so.
Joy Cements Friendship
“Emily was the family cut-up.
No sooner would we sit down to
the table than she would start
rhyming about the food. Her fa
ther and I thought it silly and
stopped it always.
“What we should have done was
to add a verse apiece and Jet the
other children try a hand. We all
would have a gay time, dinners
would have digested more easily
and more than all I think they
would have loved us better.
“Well, that is true enough. Two
real ti:s the world over are gaiety
and sorrow. People who have a
good time together are nevei
strangers again.’”
Children Demand Fun
To moralize a little now, let me
say there is still another fact that
we should recognize. There is
something in children, a sort of
fairy lightness that demands fun
sheer nonsense — if you like. Just
fun without thinking.
They lore foolish little rhymes
and jingles. They love what seems
to us, senseless talk and even
senseless behavior — anything with
a lilt and a laugh in it. They out
grow it soon enough.
It is not lightness and joy that
makes children irresponsible in
later years. Too often it is the
lack of It. Starved for it, you see.
Mix duty and seriousness with fun
all you like, but let it be there.
My friend was quite right.

Teacher Reads Poetry
To Pacify Her Pupils
Boston — tUP)— To pacify her
pupils during a severe thunder
storm, Miss Wilhelmina Crosson,
of Grade 4 at the Hancock School,
read them poetry.
So popular was the feature that
later verse was introduced as h
regular part of the curriculum,
and now the children, between
eight and ten years old writa
poetry themselves.
Samples:
“In desert lands from town to
town
The camel travels, big and brown.”
‘The elephant. With clumsy feet.
Has only the jungle for his street.”
SOME FATHER!
Columbus, Ohio—There is a fa
ther in Columbus who lacks the
proper paternal spirit. When Judge
Plefferle learned that Mrs. Cath
erine Righter was in the Maternity
hospital expecting an addition to
the family, he released her hus
band. who had been held in jail on
a wife-slapping charge. An hour
and a half after the Righter baby
arrived, the father had not been
seen at the hospital.

Physicians make test uith fifty ha hies
Recently, in a famous clinic, two special

age babies on Eagle Brand over a period
of months—comparing results with other
groups of babies similarly fed on other
foods. Eagle Brand was the only food
these babies leceived. except for the usual
supplementary foods* now given even
with mothers milk. Regularly, X-ray
pictures of bones were taken. Tooth de
velopment was watched. Weights and
heights recorded. Blood counts made.
And at last came the verdict: Measured
by every scientific test, the result was favor
able to Eagle Brand. This simple diet—
Eagle Brand with the usual supplemen

building of 100% babies!
