LAKE SHORE NEWS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1919 THE PUBLIC HEALTH Harritl Fulmtr R. N. Items of Interest The largest check ever written for the promotion of public health was written on January 16, 1919, and made payable to the National Tuber- culosis association by the American Red Cross, to be expended in the United States in the prevention of tuberculosis. There are now 47 public health nurses working in the outer belt territory of Cook county. They meet everv Saturday morning at 9 o'clock in Room 922, County building. All persons interested in the promotion of public health nursing are invited to these meetings. On Monday, September 15, the public health nurses of Cook county In the smaller towns and rural sec- tions began the supervision of all schools, public and parochial, and this is done, of course, only upon re- quest of the school authorities. Questions and Answers The editor of one of our leading Cook county newspapers asks this question: "How can the people at large in the towns and villages help in th,e promotion of public health?" The editor of this column answers: By asking another question. How can •every human being, man, woman and child, help in the promotion of pub- lic health. These are some of the ways: 1. By personal hygiene. Daily at- tention to bathing. Attention to teeth and mouth. Taking proper exercise and wholesome food. Standing and sitting in a proper position. Sleep- ing eight hours in a well ventilated "bedroom. 2. By recognition of. state laws. Being sure that if we have con- tagious disease, that the placarding and quarantine is kept. Reporting to local authorities abuse of this law. JRemembering that the golden rule applies more in public health measur- es than in any other one thing. 3. Refusing to employ any sort of •quack practitioners, and the use of quack cures. When ill, or ailing, ask advice of a reputable physician. How much does a case of Tuber- culosis cost a family by the death of the bread-winner? To the family: 1 Loss of wages to date of death. 2 Special food for patient. 3 Doctor's bills. 4 Medicine. 5 Sanatoria expenses. 6 Funeral expenses. 7 Loss of future earnings. To the community: .1 Possible burden of caring for the widow and children. 2 Expense of taxation for support of sanatoria. To remaining members of family: 1 Loss of opportunity for education of children. 2 Possible chance of infection in- curred and the consequent dis- ability and death of other members •of the family. The National Tuberculosis asso- ciation is advocating that every man, woman and child have a thorough physical examination before January 1, 1920. The traveling health clinic now touring Cook county, provides such an examination free of charge. It is maintained and supported by the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals. Next week will appear a story of the Modern Health Crusaders in this column. Be sure you get a copy of this newspaper! GROUP OF FAVORITES AT HOYBURN FOR NEXT WEEK THE WAY ©UT In these days of unrest, it is safe to assume that you are burdened with more or less mental careâ€" whether it be the H. C. L., labor trouble, unprofitable investments, or what not,â€"and you are asking your- self the question, how and when will it all be corrected? Is life to be a burden or a joy? What are we here for? How can we get the most out of it all? The American Bankers' Association states that out of 100 average healthy menâ€"25 years of age, 64 will reach the age of 65. Of these 1 will be rich. 4 well-to-do. 5 will be earning their own living. 54 will be dependent upon friends or charity. Why is this? Perhaps too few are producingâ€"too many consuming. Perhaps there is too much conges- tion in the large centersâ€"too much strife for large profits. Whatever the cause, in view of this uncertainty, doesn't it seem perfectly obvious that it is during a man's "palmy days"â€"the days of his maxi- mum earning power, that it behooves him to pursue some constructive course, aside from his regular busi- ness, which will insure him against dependency, discontent and despair in his later days. Can anyone dispute us when we say that a small farm, paid for during days of plenty, would seem a verit- able paradise in the days of impaired earning power? Therefore, a small tract of land where can be grown, without great j effort, produceâ€"oranges and grape- fruit and garden truck principally, all in great demand and bringing high prices, where the climate is delight- ful and conducive to health through- out the year;â€"where the clothing problem is practically solved, as the cost is cut to the minimumâ€"one season throughout the year. Vero, Florida, on the Indian River, is conveniently located on the main line of travel of the East Coast Rail- way and Dixie Highway. Its posi- tion is a positive assurance of "values that increase." Not only a profit producing investment, but a future home, in a country of refine- ment, and with every convenience for the contentment of your family and yourself. An income bearing home, to which you may retire, away from the penetrating winters of the North and the harrowing problems of the great Center. Time is the stuff life is made off.

Beef Chemically Treated Will Keep Indefinitely A. E. Schmoll, a chemist with the J. B. Dold Packing company in Wichita, Kansas, is experimenting' with a view to reducing the high cost of living. His latest experiment is with beefsteak. By a process of dehydrationâ€"draw- ing all the water out of the meatâ€" the steak is in a good state of pres- ervation, and is capable of being kept almost indefinitely. When it is desired to bring the steak back to a condition of freshness all that is necessary, Mr. Schmoll says, is to soak it in. water. The meat is said never to lose its odor of fresh meat, and it is as. tough as sole leather when dehydrated. Syrup from Watermelon* Syrup to take the place of sorghum has been successfully made from im- perfect watermelons in many com- munities under the direction of the home demonstration agents of the Department of Agriculture and the State agricultural colleges. In Dunk- lin County, Mo., recipes to make it were given to each member of the farm bureau, to the teachers in the schools, and were put on window posters.
