fftlp3lA0 NATURES GREAT DISINFECTANT Let the Sunlight Reach Every Corner of the House and Destroy the Germs rJ2 iljW5W3iW Natures great disinfectant is sun light It is a most interesting fact that this wonderful light which pro motes the growth of useful plants and sustains animal life at the same time destroys hy its very brightness all sorts of germs which are brought in contact with it It is this fact alone which renders the earth inhabitable Germs develop with such marvelous rapidity that they would quickly over whelm us by their very numbers if not constantly destroyed by the sun A little computation will readily show this Some germs are capable of such rapid multiplication that they may double every fifteen minutes under favorable conditions of temperature and food supply Estimate the num ber of germs which might be pro duced in a single day of twenty four hours or ninety six doublings The number would be more than thirty two thousand billion billions or suf ficient to cover eighty thousand square miles a foot deep or fill a space of more than fifteen cubic miles The increase of a minute or ganism occupying a cubic space of not more than one twenty thousandth of an inch to such prodigious magni tude is beyond comprehension and practically cannot occur for while the germ may grow at this immense rapidity for a short time the poisons which it produces become destructive to itself The material upon which it feeds is also exhausted so that its growth ceases Doubtless all have noticed the fact that mold grows during the night and in dark damp cellars Bright sun light quickly destroys germs mold and other parasitic organisms Dif fused daylight does not act nearly so rapidly but accomplishes in the course of a few hours what bright sunlight is capable of doing in a few minutes It is clearly evident then that in order that our houses should be kept free from germs they like our bodies should be made full of life The shutters should be opened the curtains raised and the light admit ted to every room in the bouse clos ets included so that the disinfecting power of light may be exercised in every nook and corner of the dwell ing Occupation and Tuberculosis The influence of occupation as a cause of consumption is shown by Dr J M French in the Medical Exam iner At least four classes of employ ments ments have a tendency to favor the development of tuberculosis They are 1 Sedentary employments in ill ventilated apartments involving con finement in impure air and other un wholesome conditions This class of occupations is typified by the so called swet shops for the manufacture of various articles of clothing 2 Employments which necessitates the inhalation of irritating dust and noxious vapors Such are those of stone cutters bleachers matchmak ers file cutters grinders engravers etc 3 Employments which involve the overuse or abuse of certain muscles These are athletes prize fighters gymnasts wrestlers professional bi cycle riders ball players etc a large proportion of whom die eventually of phthisis 4 Employments which involve un due familiarity with intoxicants These are those connected with man ufacture and sale cf wine beer and the various classes of alcoholics Tathams tables show that taking the average mortality from consumption at one hundred that of publicans is one hundred and forty of brewers one hundred and forty eight and of bar tenders two hundred and fifty seven Overcoming Hereditary Tuberculosis Much is being said nowadays re specting the out-of-door treatment of tuberculosis a disease which while rarely directly transmissible by hered ity is one the predisposition to which is in the highest degree hereditary It has been clearly shown by numer ous experiments in various parts of the United States that out-of-door life with regular hygienic habits irre spective of altitude or special climat ic advantages is capable of so aiding the natural powers of the body as to effect a cure of this formidable mal ady without the use of drugs of any sort Tuberculosis is a disease of civiliza tion It scarcely exists among sav ages who live in the primitive state but quickly appears among such peo ple when the habits of civilization are adopted especially the indoor life The South American monkey and the North American Indian alike fall vic tims to this disease when shut away from the sunlight and active exercise out of doors The time is not far distant when every large city will find it necessary to provide conveniences for the ap plication of this simple curative meas ure not only for the purpose of rescu ing the victims of pulmonary tuber culosis from the certain fate which awaits them but as an essential measure for protecting the public health Health Observations Abroad One of the most pitiful sights in England Is to see young women act ing as barmaids in the public drink ing places and to see women elbow ing their way to the bar and thea stand there shoulder to shoulder with a crowd of coarse half drunken men and with them palako freely of in toxicating liquor Unfortunately this painful sight is not at all rare and it is quite common to see drunken wom en reeling about in the streets What a sad commentary on our modern civ ilization In Copenhagen it is the custom to dress young schoolgirls so that their arms are almost or entirely bare even in weather when- Americans appre ciate their overcoats This practice necessarily chills the blood and tends to produce congestion of the internal organs and undoubtedly lays the foundation for colds pneumonia and tuberculosis Tuberculosis is making sad havoc among the urban population of Nor way It is pitiful to note how this plague is decimating this once hardy race Sedentary life indoor confine ment and defective ventilation are undoubtedly the most prolific causes for fifty per cent of the tubercular cases make a satisfactory recovery when they are sent to some outdoor sanitarium and what will cure a con sumptive would certainly have pre vented the onset of the disease The liquor curse is undermining the physical stamina of the Swedish race Liquor drinking among the working classes is almost universal One third of their population die before the age of twenty one and one fourth of those who live are rejected from military service oh account of phys ical disqualifications An American Puzzle Dr Lorenz of bloodless surgery fame cannot understand how Amer icans enjoy fair health on a diet that would depopulate any other country The pies puddings sauces and in numerable other dishes most of which are unhealthful in the extreme partaken of by young and old alike in America have caused me to won der says Dr Lorenz that the peo ple are not physical and constitution al wrecks The secret is to be found in the simple hardy lives of the forefathers of the present generation Their vig orous health has bestowed upon the grandchildren wonderful constitution al vigor But the change from the simple to the luxurious is working havoc The rising generation have squandered the constitutional capital bequeathed to them and are rapidly becoming physical bankrupts A halt must be called and the simple habits resumed or the prophecy of Dr Lo renz will surely be realized BREAKFAST BREADS Corn Puffs Beat together two and one half cupfuls of unskimmed milk and the yolks of two eggs until
