The Kind Yeu Ham Always Bouglrt ■ : j; • THE DANGER OF 1 INFECTION FROM ICE i 1 8 The modern practice of using iced | food and drinks is so universal in this < country that it is important to deter- < c mine to what degree ice may be relied 1 on as not carrying infection. When in j] ' seventies and eighties "of the last con- 1 ' turv it was shown that pathogenic bacteria' might survive freezing, ice fell utuler -suspicion as a possible medium for the transmission of disease; yet few epidemics have been ascribed to it, i and the evidence concerning these has | - lx-en held as ineonclasive. H. S. Camt ming bi a reoent article in the United < 1 SUtes Public Health -reports make a 1 study frdm the point of view of the i

'source of ice, the physical and zioiogic '■changes accompanying or consequent, on J its formation, and the methods employ. ! ed in its collection or manufacture and • j handling. I Ice is either natural or artificial. Un1 til recently, in order to secure clean, •: transparent artificial ice, it was neces- ! . -ary to distil the water used, thus de- ; Ktrovhig all disease-germs present. WJtli 1 | the newer methods employed, filtration i is held to ho sufficient. Cumming rei marks that tlie fact, well known to : -chemists, that during crystallization 1 ! nearly all extraneous substances are ex- * 1 yielled from the crystal, was overlooked liv sanitarians until recently. As Whip- • yd. -ays. "qualitatively the early fa- ' teriolcgists were right; quantitatively t tln-y were wrong." In the formation of ■lateral ire. most of the impurities are ; expel ed into the waters of tin; pond i-i -. .-am ; and the same result is at. ; tallied by the '"can" method, cans of I water are immersed in the freezing tnixJ ture. As the freezing proceeds, the , | impurities are f dreed towardvthe cenj t.-r. In olle of tlie newer .methods, large 1 r:' n« -.are used and the cakes of ice arc .lent into smaller ones, eliminating the jbiity rorr. By another new "can" method, the Impurities are expelled into i about 0 inches of water kept liquid by (agitation. In the "plate" method, the I water is contained in large tanks, on j one side of which are pipes containing 1 the freezing mixture. The water freezes next the yiipea in plates about 11 inches • thick, and the impurities are expelled into the water beyond. ' | Rome natural ice is undoubtedly de- ' 1 rived from polluted rivers or ponds. 1 | Three great factors tend to purify ice • , fiom polluted water: The first, as just . 1 mentioned, is crystallization. The secI ond is temperature — the fact that freezj ing destroys a large percentage of bao- ; 1 teria. The third and most im|,nrtant is lime. The longer tlie time intervening between the infection of water and its ' use 'as water or as ice), the slighter the duince of the survival of the germs. On this score, natural ice, which is collected , ""<1 stored for several mouths before shipment, has the advantage over artiI ficial ice, which is usually marketed soon" after it is made. Owing to these ® three factors — crystallization, temper3 at"r'"- time— clear, clean ice is of itself as free from danger as could be wished. 9 Artificial ice made "from pure water in ^ clean, sanitary factories may be regard*0 id as safe; so also may natural i6c cut from reasonably pure deep ponds or hikes and stored under sanitary condi1 tions. Artificial ice made from pollut0 water in dirty, unsanitary factories, is unsafe: natural ice cut from shallow 14 |x llutcd ponds or from grossly polluted rivers -a also unsafe. Any dirty-ap-yiearing. cloudy ice may be infected as s Well as polluted : no such ice should Iw use in contact with foods or drinks. 10 Icc which, is Otherwise safe may bei7 e"me '"L-clcd by improper handling— by being dragged across dirty streets or ».« oeuig u ragged dirty ■

sidewalks or distrihut.-d bv unclean hands. This is the great source of dan- ' Summing up tlie situation. The Journal of the American Medical- Asso. nation, says that We may practically . eliminate danger by avoiding the hand- ' of ice with dirty hands, by wash- 1 the ice with pure water, and by 1 CHURCH DIRECTORY FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Pastor, William Dyre McCurdy.

WHY WEAK LUN6S? The toll of tuberculosis is claiming more than 350 victims every dsy In the United States, yet few realize their grave condition until the critical period arrives. Overwork, worry, weakness after sickall exert the weakening influence that invites consumption.
