Trench Mouth Threatens to Stay With Us for Good You May Cacry It and Not Know You Have It DETROIT.—Trench mouth, which plagued the doughboys in France, threatens to become one of the diseases that are al ways with us, or as scientists say, endemic in this country, Dr. Don Chalmers Lyons of Jackson, Mich., declared here at the meeting of the Society of Bac teriologists, Pathologists and Al lied Workers of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Carriers, that Is, persons who have trench mouth without know ing it, and Improperly cleaned bev erage glasses are the means by which this disease is spreading, Doctor Lyons stated. He quoted impressive figures to show the In crease In cases of this disease with in recent years. Spreads in Washirigton. "In the state of Washington, where It is classed as a common communicable disease and accord ing to law reportable within 24 hours to county and city health of ficers, there were seven cases re ported in 1931 and 343 in 1934; a tremendous Increase from a per centage standpoint,” Doctor Lyons said. “Ninety-five cases were re ported in Illinois In 1931 and 758 In 1934 or a 700 per cent Increase. Eight hundred and eighty cases were reported In upstate New York In 1931 and 1,733 in 1934, or more than 100 per cent increase. One can safely say that if all cases were reported the figures would be even more Impressive.’’ Doctor Lyons and other scientists have examined glasses as they came back from customers in beverage dispensing establishments and also as they hung on the rack, supposed ly clean, and ready for use. They found many of the “germs” of trench mouth on the rims of both dirty and clean glasses. Chronic Cases Are Danger. The chronic stage of the disease is the most Important from the public health standpoint. Doctor Lyons said. The organisms or “germs" that cause It are appar ently not normally found In the mouth but they may -get Into the gums and propagate there without causing much discomfort to the pa tient The latter does not realize he has the disease, does not have it treated, and unsuspectingly passes on the organisms to sus ceptible persons who may then suf fer from the acute stage of the dis ease. British Doctors Report Success With Doses of Cold Vaccine Weekly LONDON.—Keep a bottle of common cold vaccine in your bedroom. Once a week through out the winter swallow a dose at night on an empty stomach. This advice for protecting your self against colds and influenza Is given by Drs. David Thomson, Rob ert Thomson and E. T. Thomson of St. Paul’s hospital here. It Is based on their researches on oral vac cine for colds and Influenza which they report to the British Medical Journal. Doses of the cold vaccine taken this way since September gave pro tection against colds and Influenza in spite of considerable exposure to these diseases, they report The vaccine does not produce toxic ef fects provided it Is not taken more than once a week. The vaccine used is made up of Pfeiffer’s bacillus, pneumococci, streptococci and another nose and throat “germ" known as M. ca tarrhalls. Serious colds and influ enza are, in the opinion of the Eng lish physicians, usually due sec ondarily and sometimes primarily to those organisms or “germs.” Bullfrog Eats Twice Own Weight in Fiye Months STATE COLLEGE, Pa.— Bullfrogs are not only big, they are big eaters. Prof. S. W. Frost of Pennsyl vania State college records, In the scientific Journal Copela, that one big bullfrog he kept In his labora tory ate more than twice Us own weight In less than five months of spring and summer. Its menu In cluded not only the conventional insect items but also such quasi cannlballstlc tidbits as toads, small er frogs and salamanders. ‘Nice Day Today?* It May Depend on Ions in Air It’s ‘Pleasant’ With Sun High and Barometer Rising HOW nice is a “nice day”? If you rush off to work in the morning with the sun shin ing and the barometer rising, the chances are you’ll say “It’s a pleasant day.” At least that is the conclu sion reported in studies by Tale un iversity’s laboratory of hygiene on 1,400 business workers and 33,000 school children in New Haven, Conn. Speaking before the Chicago meeting of the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engi neers, Prof. (X E. A. Winslow and L. P. Herrington, director and as sistant director, respectively, of the laboratory, told of their fifteen months of study to determine if there is any relation between fac tors of climate and a person’s re action as to the pleasantness or unpleasantness of the outdoor at mosphere. Taken From Records. Weather records, the votes of the test volunteers and' the absence rec ords of the school children and business workers furnished the data from which the following con clusions were obtained: 1. The weather is more likely to be pronounced pleasant in fall and winter with decreased temperature, but shows no such relation in spring and scummer. 2. The judgment of pleasantness increases very markedly with de crease in relative humidity. 3. It Increases still more marked ly with Increase of sunsfilne. 4. It increases with rising bar ometer. 5. It Increases with a decrease in total ions in the air. Explaining Ions. The last point, the ion content of the air, is the most obscure item on the above list. The ions are mole cules of atmospheric gases which have become electrically charged. The presence of such ions per mits, among other things, the pass age of lightning strokes. The ions, too, can help create what Is known as a “live” atmosphere Instead of a “dead” one. The latter may best be described as the kind of air one finds in a room closed tightly for some time. Some investigators have maintained that air without a normal ion content (7,000 to 12, 000 to each cubic centimeter) is less Invigorating than otherwise. The air’s ion content, from Pro fessor Winslow and Mr. Harring ton's findings, ranks third in the physical factors present when one judges a day to be “pleasant." The amount of sunshine and relative hu midity both rank before it. Canadian Says We Axe Raising Fine Crop of Physical Degenerates E ARE raising a crop of » » weaklings and it will be only a matter of time when our citizenry will be composed of physical degenerates. This dire prophecy was made by a Canadian physician, Dr, V. E. Black of Moose Jaw, Saskatche wan. It was Inspired by watching a procession of school children and their teachers during a Jubilee cel ebration. While these were Canadian chil dren, there is probably not so great a difference between children in Canada and children in the United States but that Doctor Black's ob servations should stimulate inter est in physical education among American as well as Canadian par ents and educators. Few Know How to Breath*. '■Not more than one-tenth of the children and teachers in that pa rade knew how to breathy walk or stand correctly, Doctor Black ob served. Atleast every third child was out of step, indicating a Mick of that sense of rhythm “which is so essential to efficiency In more than one wnlk of life.” A large proportion of chronic dis eases, some types of arthritis, many digestive disturbances^ circulatory troubles and nervous disorders are due to poor body mechanics, Doc tor Black contends. Even those who lead outdoor lives are open to the charge of not caring proper ly for their body machines or using them properly. Fanners Lack Chest "The average farmer or out-of door worker," Doctor Black gays, “will show you a beautifully mus cled back and In most cases no front chest to balance It which means diminished heart and lung room, and in nine out of ten cases that bnck will not have more than 50 per cent of the range of move ment It should have.” Sound physical education In the public schools Is the remedy sug gested by these Canadian doctors. “The child should be expected to pass, or at least try to pass exam inations In physical development as well at in the usual mental Remember the country marm”? Spending* one vfte one family and the next with anoth er, she fared well on good food and comfortable sleeping quarters. “If wild ducks could have such hospi tality for three years, their annual migrations would soon resemble those of 60 years ago,” sajs Col. H. P. Sheldon of the United States bureau of biological survey. “Like the ‘schoolmarm,’ a wild duck appre ciates good food and good resting places.” "The 'schoolmarm' wouldn’t have lasted long on starvation rations and • a plank bed. Our ducks won’t last long either if the public continues to let Itself be guided by the slogan, “Let's kill ’em while they’re here.” Week’s Supply of Postum Free Read the offer made by the Postum Company in another part of this pa per.
