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

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.”
