OUR HEALTH TALK
Fifteen Health Rules for Farmer
Folk
' Prof.trvlnf Fisher of Tale University
has summed up in. fifteen simple rules what
he terms the essentials to rood health on
the farm. We print two of these rules this
week and others will appear in successive
Issues until the entire fifteen are published.
FOOD-RULE 9
Eat Slowly
COOD should be well chewed. If
. swallowed half-chewed the stomach
has more than its share to do. If it is
necessary to force the food down,
, you have not chewed it enouerh. Li-
quids should not "be used to wash
down food but should be sinned slow-
. . A. .
ly. Some of the most . wholesome
loods are truits, boiled milk, sour
milk, potatoes, bread, vegetables, and
"nuts, if they are well chewed. It is
best not to use pepper, mustard, cat
sup, or other "hot" relishes at all.
HABITS RULE 10
Have Your Bowels Move at Least
Once Each Day ,
pOOD food must be eaten but the
residue in the bowels must be dis-
posed of. When the bowels move with
out effort it is easy to keep well. ' If
possible the habit of moving the bow
els thoroughly twice a day after
breakfast and after supper, shpuld be
established. Headache is often caus
ed by .sluggish bowels. - Food , is the
natural laxative. Often, the. bowels'
do not : move because not enough
bulkyv food-has been eaten. A . few
especially laxative foods are figs,
fruits, bran, Oil, vegetables, butter,
cream,, sugar, honey, syrups, and
juices of fruits. ' Water drinking, es
pecially before breakfast, is conduc
ive to free movement. Drug laxatives
should be used only upon the advice
of a physician.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
tiQHOULD children be taken frtm school
3 if other ones have colds? I believe mine
is the only one there rot sniffing and cough
ing." It seems that doctors do not generally- ad
vise the taking of well children out of school
where others have colds. They do advise
these things: ." -
.1. .That you keep your child well nour
ished and free from constipation. .
2. That you permit, ypur. child to share
her drinking. cup with.no one else, and that
she not. use pencil, towel or handkerchief
that another child has used". ' "
; 3.; That she accept no bites of candy, ap
ples or other (ood:from other children.
. 4. That you help the teacher to instruct
the children in the aanger , of spraying the
air full of-germs by coughing and sneezing
into 1t; that, if necessafy, the Woman's Club
or the trustees, provide little square; clean
muslin or paper to be burned after. using. ,
6. That a Jacketed stove be provided, if
stoves are the .means of heating. ; , .
6.- That an open' vessel. of water be kept
on the stovs all the ttme. ' '
: v ".'. i:rv'- .
"Mr hands perspire so that sewing Is no
pleasure to ne." v ' '
; A smalt box of. talcum powder kept In the
sewing' bag, and dusted. on the' hands; when
they .become' moist is a great help, espec
ially when doing fine sewing. Any permanent
relief from the perspiring is uncertain.. The
old method.was.to wet the hands with boric
acid solution, but that helped only a. limited
number.: A better treatment is to wet the
hands with a mixture of, two teaspoons of
ordinary 40 per cent formaldehyde in a pint
of water at night. This Is apt to make the
hands rough, so after drying them rub in
some glycerine, to an ounce of which has
been added twenty grains of salicylic acid.
It can do no harm and frequently cures. An
emery bag costs little and is useful for re
moving rust or roughness from needles..
Remember that if what you want jo buy
la not advertised In The Progressive Farmer
youTen often get it by putting a Uttlo notice
In our Farmers' Exchange.
