PAGE TWO FOODS AND HIM By OR. F. H. GARRISS | While discussing sanitation last ireek I mentioned the fact that dis ease germs were carried from a sick peraon to a well person by certain agents such as: water, foods and milk, insects, air and contact, either direct or indirect. And I discussed the methods by which disease germs, could be carried In water. This brings us, this week, to foods and milk. As milk is a wonderful food for man it is also a very good ( culture media for disease germs. They live in it, and will flourish and ( multiply in the milk if it is of body j temperature. And the same thing is | true with many other foods. From; milk itself man can get bovine or! cow tuberculosis, septic sore throat | and undulant fever. Cows have tu-, bereulosis the same as man and same. can be transmitted to man through j milk. Cows have Bangs disease and same is transmitted to man through milk and in man is called undulant. fever. j Cows’ udders may be infected with « germ called the streptococcus and when same is transmitted to man j through milk, causes septic sore, throat This latter is a very danger ous disease, can easily be complicated • by streptococic pneumonia and prove! fatal. We all know what tuberculo sis is. And undulant fever is also a very serious disease. It is a con tinued fever that lasts, some times, several months. It is not a new dis ease at all but in years past it was diagnosed typhoid fever because it resembles that disease so much and before we had modem laboratory methods for diagnosing the two dis eases we were not able to distinguish | between the two. We now have more! undulant fever than typhoid in this section, but we hope in a few months, to test all family cows in Chowan j and Bertie counties and destroy those infected with Bangs disease. All dairy cows have already been tested :,nd we are glad to say that none, at present, are infected. It was neces sary to destroy several dairy cows to accomplish this. Also we have aj method for testing tubercular cows, j and at present all dairy cows in both ■ counties are free of tuberculosis.! Regarding septic sore throat, our' only method of controlling that d.is- ■ *ase is by close and careful dairy in spection for sore teats. The germ of this disease can originate in the cow’s, teats or can be put in the milk by a; dairy worker who has a sore throat. The germs of all three of these dis-j cases can be kUied by pasteurization BUSINESS IN JJ t FAR FIELDS JUlk I You buy a loaf of bread, or a pound of coffee, or a can 1 of beans. It’s a simple, every day transaction, ended, 5 j you think, when you exchange money for a product ! across the counter. ? But each of the transactions goes further than that. I I Your dealer, the wholesaler, the manufacturer, the pro- T ducer ... all have had to rely on a complex system of l credit, an outgrowth of the monetary system of the na- ] tion. To them, and to all people connected with business 1 -j* of any kind, banking is more than an unfamiliar struc f ture, for it is a part of their business and plays an im- 1 ' portant part in their daily lives. k # I You, too, no matter what your business or profession, should familiarize yourself with the essential services of ~ a good bank. We invite you to come in at any time, to , ask our advice, to learn how we can help you. , i S —T ;> j The Bank of Edenton j r 3* *** *s*r-> tJT JUS*-* :*?- *r i-xx , •£■ V star' seat! -**.m * W** t *irir— -a ■■■ i or boiling the milk and one of these : methods should be used on all ques tionable milk and especially if it is : l intended for small children. But one ' is fairly safe whenever you see the letter "A” on the cap of your milk bottle. This means that the cows ' have been tested and inspected for , diseases, the milk handlers have , health certificates and all utensils and ! containers have been sterilized be , fore coming in contact with milk. So much for the diseases that orig ■ inate in the milk. We will now con i sider a few of those that do not ori -1 ginate in milk but are carried from ■ sick person to well person by milk. ! Septic sore throat, as mentioned | above, diphtheria, typhoid fever, hu ] man tuberculosis are among the most ) common. Also, recently, it is be i lieved that infantile paralysis gets 1 into milk from a diseased milk hand- I ler and thereby are transmitted to another person, the victim. Septic j i sore throat, diphtheria, and tubercu- 1 j losis germs can easily be coughed into! a milk pail by a diseased milker. . The most common way for typhoid i i germs to get into milk is by allowing j I a typhoid carrier to be a dairy work-1 : er. We also have adults who arej , diphtheria carriers. They carry the | germs of that disease in their noses and throats continuously, do not have the disease themselves, but are cap able of infecting milk and can give the disease to a child by coughing or sneezing near him. Again, I repeat that all questionable milk should be either boiled or pasteurized and the United Public Health Service says all milk should be pasteurized. What is pasteurization of milk? iWe have found that practically all 1 harmful germs are killed by a tem j perature of 143 degrees Fahrenheit 1 for twenty minutes. Cream will rise ! on milk so treated and the taste is changed very little. Cream will not rise on boiled milk and it tastes dif ferently. In this section of the country we do not have any diseases that origi • nate in foods except acute attacks ! resulting from spoiled foods. In • some parts of the world where pork ! and fish are eaten raw there are dis eases therefrom. But in this section I the germs of disease must be put in jor on the food by a diseased person. For instance, an open cracker box or , cake box or candy jar in a store is a j ; fine receptacle for the flying germs, that have just been coughed out by a j j tubercular patient. I long for a Fed eral law, retiring all ready-to-eat i THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY. AUGUST 31, 1839 merchandise to be wrapped in paper or cellophane. But all I can say, now, is to beg all parents not to al low’ their children to eat any eatables ■ from a store unless they come wrap ; ped. This means candy, cakes, ice ■ cream, crackers, etc., and all fruits s should be thoroughly washed before 3 eaten unless they can be effectively 3 peeled as bananas. Only a few years ; back, a terrible typhoid epidemic oc -3 curred in this State as the result of r a typhoid fever carrier clerking in a s food store, and only two years ago 80 1 people were sick and six died in Philadelphia, of the same disease, be cause a typhoid carrier prepared the . chicken salad for a Legion dinner. | But typhoid and tuberculosis are not the only diseases carried on or in (foods, there are many other disease 1 germs that can be transmitted in the . same manner. 1 Next week you may look for a dis ■ cussion of insects that carry diseases, t ; Joint Picnic Sept. 4 For Negro Farmers ' j On September 4th, there will be a ■ joint picnic given by the Negro 4-H ' j Club boys and girls and adult farm | ers of Chowan and Perquimans Coun- I i ties.
