K. J. Edholm of Omaha. Mrs. Ed holm is a prominent worker in the health department of the Woman's club and holds several state offices that deal with the study and preven tion of disease.

GAVE HEALTH LECTURE Mrs. Edholm of Omaha, Is President of Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis "Preparedness" was the subject of the health lecture given by Mrs. K. R. J. Edholm, of Omaha, before the Home Economics club, Thursday evening. January 13. Mrs. Edholm is a promi nent worker along health lines and is now president of the Nebraska so ciety for the study and prevention of tuberculosis. "The preventable diseases in whose wake follows unthinkable suffering, poverty and crime continue to flourish because of plain unadulterated ignor ance often found in high places," de clared Mrs. Edholm. Ignorance and superstition are powerful allies of dis ease. An interesting superstition re lated by Mrs. Edholm was that a dog bite could be cured by applying the hair of the dog to the wound. Ignorance as to the fact that cats and dogs are carriers of disease is responsible for many deaths. "Don't kiss the family cat," warns Mrs. Ed holm. "He is not the clean creature he appears to be, for his mouth is a hot-bed for germs.' "How many of you have licenses to onerate?" challenged Mrs. Edholm. This license isa clean bill of health elven on physical examination, and more freouent use would save much eirVneps. Vaccination is a form of pre paredness none can afford to neglect. The mother who purposely exposes her I'ttle children to whooping cough or measles in order to "have it over hV was severely criticised by Mrs. F.n'm. Serious comnMcstlons often rtcA whirh the child !n hlfl enfeebled rwtAlHon cannot resist Permanent Injuries often result. Such mothers help to keep those dangerous dlsenses nv iv continually giving thorn fresh material to work on. Under careful quarantine they would gradually uie out. The importance of fresh air as a nrnnnrodness measure was strongly emphasized by Mrs. Edholm. '"Don't be afraid of drafts." moving air line I'litinlnff water, purifies itself. "Politi cal ventilation" systems for schools came in for a share of the speaker s clover satire. "The only well venti lated school room is the open air school." Personal cleanliness is of the utmost importance in resisting disease The person who is sewn up for the winter is fine material for germs. Some of the Bed Cross money may well be spent for portable bathtubs, asserted Mrs. Edholm. Preparedness doesn't mean that we should become "mlcrophobists" and live in mortal terror of germs. Such nnl are likely to suffer the fate of the little fish who was afraid of swal lowing a hook that he starved to death. Btft we should have a healthy fear which will make us take sanitary pre cautions and supply ourselves with plenty of fresh air.
