©he jErbulmt tErrnrii Volume XV. This, That and The Other By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS We have recently eaten lambs quarter at our house. You may know the weed. Mixed in with mustard or turnip greens and boiled it is very good. It grows plentifully around here and is said by the scientists to be chock full of vitamins. You’ve been hoeing it out of your gardens for years. But, if you want to try it, be sure not to gather Jerusalem oak by mistake. They look a bit alike when young, but their habits and contents are different. Another name for Jerusalem oak is worm seed and vermifuge is made from it. You can tell it by the smell. Throw it into the chicken yard; it’s good for the fowls. Having cooked pokeweed stalks and lambsquarter, I am waiting for purslane to grow big enough to be eaten. “Pusley,” is its every day name. I’ve wanted to try eat ing some ever since I used to hear the hogs champing the baskets of it Papa had lis pull for them. It sounds delicious. I haven’t tried plantain yet, and it will soon be getting tough; and there are sev eral other weeds I mean to nib ble on before quitting experi ments . I ate some bamboo shoots last year cooked by directions Eric gave me from his eating them in the Philippines. They taste a bit like new potatoes and do get them before they harden. I regret to state that my family is becoming skittish about new dishes . They roll their eyes and shy off at times; but if ever we get to where weeds and such are necessary as food, I’ll be in prac tice and ready with pot and skil let. Here’s a hint I read last week about cutworms, which are about the peskiest things a gardner has to fight: Push a small stick into the ground by each plant as you set it out, letting the stick go about as deep as the root. (Leave it there.) The writer claimed that only one plant in 500 was cut off when this method of protection is used. The stick need not be larg er than the quill of a chicken’s wing-feather. It is worth trying. (Continued on page six) MMh MAC kk, -M l M “Misfortui&s are unbidden ” —German proverb t * v, 28- Belgium surrendered, 1940. r"*\ 29—Gen.

Number 43 Health Officer Gives Dates Diphtheria, Typhoid Treatments To Be (Jiven in Wake By Dr. A. C. Bulla, Co. Health Officer Beginning Monday, June 1, and continuing for four weeks, we will again make it possible for every individual living in Wake County to receive, without cost, vaccina tion against typhoid fever and toxoid immunization against diph theria. There has never been a time when these protective measures were more important than they are now. Not because we have more typhoid fever for we have less; not because we have more diphtheria for we have less, but so long as we have any, we have too much. So long as we have typhoid fever and so long as we have diphtheria, we must urge the application of known preventive measures against these prevent able diseases. War conditions always bring about serious medical problems. Os these, perhaps the most import ant is the control of communicable diseases. We know that people are responsible for the spread of acute communicable diseases, and that in times like these, when so many of us are employed on con struction projects and other de fense projects, each individual comes directly or indirectly into close contact with large numbers of people, some of whom may be carriers of diseases, and, therefore, the direct sources and means of spreading their infection to fathers. So, to control typhoid fever, we must depend on individual im munity which can be established by typhoid vaccination. We are aware, perhaps as nev er before, of the desirability of in dividual and community good health and the means of obtaining and maintaining it. We should not merely wish for individual pro tection against communicable di seases, but we should act and work for this protection, and in this way know that immunity has been established. This can be ac complished, in the case of typhoid fever, by vaccination at regular intervals .It is important that those persons persons who have never been vaccinated and those who have not been vaccinated within three years to have three doses of typhoid vaccine at weekly intervals; those persons who have been vaccinated within three years to have one dose. It is important that mothers pre vent the occurrence of diphtheria by having their babies given the two doses of toxoid, the immuniz ing agent against diphtheria, be tween the ages of six and nine months; the second dose to be giv en one to two months after the first dose, followed by the Schick test six to eight weeks after the last dose. The service was concluded by taking the numerous ari ange ments of flowers from the church to the cemetery where graves were decorated. Remember once again that “tak ing good care of kitchen fats and j oils,” Is a wartime “must”
