The pinworm is s pesky parasite. I
No bigger than a pencil point, th«|
pinworm is mankind's greatest rob- j
ber of sleep. It is believed that some I
! 200 million people throughout thej
| world suffer the effects of pinworm*.

Some 40 per cent of the people in the j
United States and Canada, accord
! in to medical experts. The hardy
j parasite appears to prefer children
for its victims, although adults are
' not immune.
Once attached to a child, the pin-.
worm stubbornly resists all efforts
to eliminate it. Children often trans- '
in it the pinworm to those coining in
contact with them and tend to re
infect themselves by scratching the
irritated area.
J Proper medical and sanitary
measures can control this parasite.
Tei ramycin, a widely-effective anti
biotic, is one of the drugs used sue-I
ccssfully to eliminate the parasite, j
Parents must follow up medical !
treatment with a personal cleanli
ness code. They must see to it that;
[ children wash their hands often and i
must insist that hands are washed
j before every meal.
Fingernails of children with pin- ;

Until we stop feeding and hous.
ing rats, it will lie necessary to)
employ means for killing them ill}
order to keep their numbers down, i
There are various methods in which j
to do this. Water forced into the
burrow under pressure with a gnr-j
den hose will eliminate its young as
well as home. Cyanide gas is some-,
times used by forcing it into the!
burrow. Precaution should lie used*
with this method, as some of the'
burrows may lead under house)
foundations. Several types of traps!
are on the market which are wide-!
ly used, ranging from the simple!
snap trap to the highly complicat-;
ed electrically operated traps. Poi
soned bait or water is the most
used means for killing rats. Red!
squill, safest of all rats poisons,
has been used over a long period
of time. It brings about temporary
reductions in the number of rats in
an area, but bait shyness is de
veloped by rats after receiving a
dose too small to kill. Warfarin
is comparatively safe and highly
recommended for its effectiveness.
'This poison is odorless and taste-
j less to both rats and men. Bait*

Warfarin is very slow in its action
on the rat and several feedings are
necessary before it proves fatall.
For several days after feeding no
appreciable change is noticed in
[the rat’s appearance or activity.
| By the third or fourth day, the rat
walks slowly and tends to drag its
tail and hind feet if it has eon-
