I Lime Does Not Stop Spread of Disease ' A subscriber of the Progressive Farmer recently wrote that paper to know if lime would prevent disease. The subscriber said that the county health officer said lime would do no good to put it in a well thiit was polluted but that he had .always been told that the use of limi would prevent disease. Please give j ine the facts. The health officer is right—li'ii" will not prevent the spread of di sease—that is common lime will no*. The use of lime about premises, privies, wells, etc., is very old, es- , pecially in small towns and rural communities. Many persons (on sid"r the employment of lime, at scheduled periods the end of all di- j sease prevention: some will even point with pride and satisfaction to its use as a safeguard they have pro vided for their families. Such peo ple are laboring under a dangerous, delusion: they know the destructive power of lime upon insects, while! they know nothing of germs and -.f , the means by which they are spread 1 or of the mania r in which they may be destroyed. I.ime is an excellent agent to ali sorb moisture, keep down odors and make the promises look neat and clran, but it will not prevent the spread of typheid fever or tubercu losis, nor will it disinfect a well or spring. If lime is used it should be used with the full knowledge that it will not prevent the spread of di sease.—Pitogressire Farmer. [School Nurse Reports On Work In Stokes Miss L.
