Copeland’s Health Talk Hands Carry “Flu” BY ROYAL S. CORKLAND, M. 0. (I'nIN $tlin Senator And Former lie.-ltli <>*nnitssionvr Of No* Fork.) Many dangerous nilments nrc carried by the hands. Some of them are distinctly "hand-conveyed" disease. Associating with us just as unconscious ol being menaces ns we arc of their existence, ate “carriers of disease Every once in a while we hear of an outbreak ot typhoid fever or diphtheria. On investigation by the health authorities it Is found that a carrier has been responsible for the epidemic. The carrier has had the disease, perhaps years ago, and recovered from it. But the tonsils or gall bladder continue to harbor and to breed the carrier, they are spread and come in contact with susceptible persons. Then there Is trouble. In 1018, and to a lesser extent in 1919, the whole world suffered from influenza. More per sons died from its effects than were killed m all the wars or history. Nothing appeared to stay the hand of death. It was natural that scientists should accept the T~ challenge and exert their every enort to aeieat UK. tU'iKiMLt. this form of attack from mankind's chief enemy. Laboratories everywhere have studied influenza, seeking to find its cause and then to devise a remedy. I am sorry to say little has been determined. After ten years of Intensive study we are almost as helpless now as we were In October, 1918. As I write, we are hearing of mulfttudes of influenza cases throughout North America. When these words arc printed there may have been recorded the story of an other epidemic. I pray not. Have we learned nothing about influenza? Chiefly this—that it Is a hand-borne disease. Of course the secretions of the nose and throat, sprayed Into the air by sneezing or forcible talking, may carry the germs. When this moisture ts received by the lips or nose of another, there may be lnfec ;■ tion with Influenza. But It ts more likely that the hands of nn infected person moistened by his saliva or other secretions, may come in con tact with the hands of a well per son and be conveyed to the nostrils or mouth of the latter. Because of this danger it is tre mendously Important that the household utensils, such as dishes, knives and silver, should be thoroughly boiled Snifter use by a person with influenza. Soap, towels, wash-cloth and everything touched by the sick person should not be used by another without previous cleansing. Frequent washing ot the hands With soap and abundance of water should be the habit of one who travels in street cars or handles ar ticles used by others. On coming into the home there should be thor ough cleansing of hands and face, as well as the opening of the no6 trlls. Kissing the baby or greeting any body with a friendly kiss, should not be practiced during the prevalence influenza, bronchitis, pneumonia, or even the common dettd. Any contact which may carry directly or Indi rectly the germ-laden moisture of i another’s secretions must be avold * ed. Plenty of sleep, an abundance of fresh air. day and night, all the sun light possible, regular exercise, sim ple food, regular habits, these should be had and practiced all the time. But in time of influenza they art vital. { m. B.

SAYS MAN OF 45 LEARNS EASILY AS Bt)Y OF 15 A — New York—The custom of dads . to think that they are too old to learn, and leave the schooling all 4to junior, was challenged before ttlie meeting ot the American As sociation for the Advancement of Science here today. Findings about brain receptivity, that put heretofore supreme youth fulness in the background, were J described by Prof. A. I. Gates of the -Teachers college of Columbia unl J versity. J “Recent studies of children and 1 adults," he said, "indicate that new * types of educational agencies for s Infants and adults both seem tm ' perative. | "Th© old notion that the teens comprise the prime of life for learning has been definitely dls ■, proved. The decade from 20 to 30 ‘ 1* superior to any other; the decade ’ from 30 to 40 Is at lease equal to the span from 10 to 20, and even : at 45 a man can hold his own with his son at the presumably recep tive and versatile age of 15 In all forms of learning and memorizing.1 nmm WIFE TO PLEDGE MATE'S JHIMUr Opera 1)1 va Guarantees Husband’s Ex-Wife 545 Per Week. Chicago, 111.—One might think from rending the dispatches that the bull market quotation on prime husbands with curly hair had drop ped to $45 on the Chicago market, But such Is not so, and you can take the word of Mmr. Irene Pav loska, well known Chicago Civic op ' era diva, for that. | According to Mmr. Pavloska, who I sings a sweet soprano as the Juliet and Madame Butterfly In numerous opera roles, her position has been seriously misrepresented before the country because she went the surety on her new husband's alimony guar antee of $45 a week, which must be paid his former wife. Weddirg Follows Divorce, This car c about with much In volvement and double time tempo In the county building here the other day when the new husband, who Is Dr. Maurice E. Meslrow, a local eye car, nose and throat specialist, and the owner of a wonderful crop of curly hair, took the operatic Irene to wed In the same off be where his former wife had divorced him 24 hours earlier. As one of the conditions of the separation, the former Mrs. Meslrow Insisted upon proper surety for the payment of her $45 weekly alimony awarded by Judge Harry M. Fisher. I And, to meet this margin call, with the ticker beating at a furious rate and the stock of husbands preferred ADVERTISEMENT RELATING TO LOST POLICIES.

This means that should payment be defaulted for any reason whatever, the former Mrs. Mestrow can come *nto court, and Irene, who sings and signed, will have to sing to pay. "And, O, what a shame it is," Irene complained when Interviewed in the cozy northslde apartment where she and the doctor are spend ing their honeymoon. “I am really not the surety or guarantor of the note at all It was all the result of that woman’s work. She has been so spiteful and mean. I was simply maneuvered Into the position with out thinking of its significance. Ab’e To Meet Own Alimony. "Dr. Mesirow is perfectly able to meet his own alimony bills, and my name on the paper was placed there simply in the capacity of a witness und a formality. The principal was Mr. Leonard King, -a friend of us both. “At any rate, if a husband in this instance were worth only $45, he would scarcely be a tribute to that woman, who fought so long and hard to retain him and made life so miserable with persecution for both of us. I signed the paper simply in the capacity of a friend, as I would have signed it for any friend. And my friend In this case is now my husband, so what docs it matter, really?" The “that woman” referred to by the diva, and not without a little heat. Is or. Mesirow's first wife.
