Foodtiandling Very
Important Factor
To Mantel Health
School Scheduled to Be
Held In Edenton
March 16-17
Every day 65,000 people are fed in
the restaurants and other foodhand
ling establishments in the United
States. This places great responsibili
ty on 'the foodhandlens in maintain
ing the health of the people of a na
tion. Hundreds of people may be sick
by the carelessness of one foodhand
ler. This carelessness may be found
in washing dishes, serving, garbage
disposal, in the store rooms, and in
sweeping. Many persons are made
Sick each year in eating places of all
kinds by germs that in some way are
spread by the foodhandler.
Food should be prepared and ser
ved free from germs or bacteria in
£ider to be safe. Seven and one-half
million bacteria may rest on the head
of a pin. Among the germs that are
important in the handling of food are
those that cause such diseases as ty
l phoid, amebic dysentery, diphtheria,
and blood poisoning.
They multiply rapidly by dividing.
One divides to make two in twenty
minutes, four in forty minutes, eight
in one hour, and at the end of three
hours would amount to five hundred.
They are always on the clothes, on the
hands, and on the body. (Some are
•helpful,, some are neither helpful nor
yet some are dangerous.
Most of them live best at a tempera
ture of about 98 degrees. They are
killed at 170 degrees and cannot grow
and multiply below 50 degrees.
Germs love milk and ground meat.
They are always on the go. Some peo
ple (carriers) are not made sick by
them, but they carry them to other
people who may become sick.
They often live in the mouth, throat
and lungs and are discharged by the
mouth and nose by coughing and
sneering. Some are found in the in
testinal and urinary tract and are
discharged in the feces and urine.
Diseases may be carried by house
flies, as typhoid; by rat fleas, as ty
phus; by mosquitoes, as malaria.
■v Pood carries germs that make
mi any people sick. Trichinosis come
from poorly cooked pork.
Pood poisoning is the most common
disease caused by unclean food. It is
paused mainly by a germ called sta
rfrhloccus, which is found in the pus
of cuts, boils, hang nails, etc.
A foodhandler’s school is to be held
in Edenton on March' 16 and 17 in the
Armory Building. Two classes will be
held daily at 9:30 A. M-, arid 7:30
P. M.
Colored Oratorical
Contest Friday Night
The Edenton Colored high school
.will present its annual oratorical con
test Friday night at 8 o’clock, with
Mrs. L. High as chairman. Special
music for the occasion will be furnish
ed by the High School Choir.
A small admission will be charged,
and the public is invited to attend.

HEALTH FOR Ml I
HEART DISEASES
Heart diseases corfetitute the lead- i
ing cause of death in the United
States today—and have for the past
two decades. All types of heart ail
ments are responsible for approxi
mately 400,000 American deaths an
nually.
The heart is the toughest, most
hard-working single organ of the ,
body. But when it is attacked by in
fection and disease, or taxed beyond
its limits, it may be permanently, ,
though not necessarily fatally, in
jured.
Once it was thought that a diagno- ?
sis of heart disease meant swift and
sudden death in the near future.- But
now we know that most persons with
injured hearts need have little fear
of sudden death or even of shortened
life if they learn to “live with” their
disease and accept certain limitations
of activity.
There are various types of heart
ailments, some of them characteristic
of certain age groups. A small per
centage of infants is bom with what
are known as congenital heart de
fects. But with modem surgery,
these defects can be corrected in
(many cases, giving the babies a good
chance of survival and useful life.
.By far the most vicious enemy of
the healthy heart is rheumatic fever,
a serious infection which most fre
quently strikes children between the
ages of five and ten years and which
almost invariably leaves them with
injured hearts. Rheumatic fever ‘has
a tendency to recur and it is vital
that the child who suffers attacks be
under the care and supervision of a
doctor. Other “childhood diseases”
.which sometimes injure the 'heart in
clude pneumonia, diphtheria, scarlet
fever and influenza.
Hypertensive heart disease, brought
on by high blood pressure, attacks
most frequently in middle age. Ob
viously the person who follows his
doctor’s advice—to “bring down” his
blood pressure and eliminate the ex
tra burden high blood pressure puts
on his heart—has a fair chance of
warding off hypertensive heart dis
ease and the heart failure it might
ca'use.
Coronary heart disease, most com
mon in (persons over 50, is actually a
disease of the arteries which supply
blood to the heart. Many victims of
coronary heart disease, who careful
ly follow the doctor’s advice, can live
comparatively long and useful lives.
The most common symptoms of
heart trouble, in general, include ir
regular beating of the heart, short
ness of breath after moderate or

slight exertion, pain or constriction in
the region of the chest, swelling of
the feet and ankles, chronic fatigue,
and severe and constant indigestion.
The person suffering from any of
these symptoms, for unexplained rea
sons, should see his doctor at once.
If he has a heart ailment, the doc
tor is the proper person 'to diagnose
the type of heart illness, prescribe
the best treatment, and give the per
son advice which may enable him'to
live a longer life.
