One of the first laws of life is self-preservation but, a large part of the population of this country, and indeed of the world, does not recognise the hosts of invisible enemies to life that are constantly assailing us on all sides. In large cities there are “traffic cops" whose duty it is to see that automobiles and street cars and wagons do net run into us. but we must be our own "traffic cops” when it comes to guarding against the millions and millions of germs that are enrolled In the army of Disease and Death. Just as certain conditions govern the signals which the policeman gives, just so do we make certain conditions which mean "Stop” or “Come” to the ever-ready chauffeurs '

of such undesiral’le faniiiica aa theme jot General Tubercle Bacilli, of Ty- .' phoid Bucclllt, or Pneumonia Bacilli, and of the various other branches of the Bacilli elan. Hero are some guide posts along I the road to HEALTH mid if we carefully follow their advice, we will have put up a wail of resistance through which the enemy will fil’d It hard to pierce. If You Would Avoid Tuberculosis: | Bee that fresh air has unlimited admission to your home, your sleeping rocni, your work . hop and your play-ground. Keep vour body well nourished with plain, substantial food. Remember that CLEANLINESS IS ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH. Got a sufficient amount of rest to refresh both mind and body. Brush your teeth at least once a day. Remember that worry is useless: more than that, n Is actually injurious to your health. Questions and Answers: To the Editor:--What is bronchiectasis. t slight) noil-tubercular? 1 just raise a teaspoonful from there, at the most, every day. Is there a. cure for that? —J. W. Bronchiectasis is a condition of dilation of a bronchial tube. The result is very similar to that of a cavity from disease, but not so serious. An absolute cure is difficult, although, not infrequently the symptoms of the con- 1 dition disappear To the Editor: —I have been using 1 a five per cent solution of carbolic acid as a disinfectant for sputum and < also soaking colored clothing (that 1 which cannot be boiled I in it before < washing. The sputum, after standing < for twelve, hours in the carbolic solu- 1 tion. has been emptied into a sewer l

system. Recently I read in an article |concerning tuberculosis, "carbolic i acid does not effectively destroy the bacilli in the sputum.' 'etc, Now I understand that boiling or burning Is the most effective means of destroying the tubercle bacilli, but that does not always seem to be practicable us al this season of the year when gas is used for cooking. Your advice will be appreciated. M. A. 11. i In reply to your question we would 1 advise you to use paper napkins for collecfng Hie expectoration, which can be kept in a proper receptacle, such as a paper bag until it is convenient to burn them all ai suit Carbolic acid is probably as effective a disinfectant as any, hut none of them are truly effectual, as the sputum is coagulated, by it and in that way the germs are not reached by the disinfectant. in regard to clothes that cannot be washed, the best method is to disinfect them with formaldehyde gas in a clothes closet for at least twelve hours and then to hang them out in the sun tor another day. ■ o— ■ ■ Miss Della Kern returned from Craigvllle where she spent Sunday.
