THE SANITATION OF THE COUNTRY HOME. , I* (Read by Julius Way, M- D., before ^ a Monday evening conference in Voca- | ' tional Hall, Court House.) It has recently been stated, and I j " believe -it -to -be Hie fact, that the rate!0 or motility in the country borne is j G greater than in the city. In other words ' under the existing conditions, the city ia a healthier place in which to live than i is the' country. j In spite of the fact that the country people have the advantages of pure air, ' ^ fresh vegetables, fruits, meats and the 8 many hygenic- advantages which nature * affords, it must be admitted that there is leas sickness and fewer deaths in ° proportion to the population in the ' city than in the country. And, there ( must be a reason for it, and when you ^ contrast the sanitary aondi'tliane, inside and out of the average city and i . country homes, the reason as well as I the remedy will readily appear. In the clty home we find running water with bath tub, lavatories and water closets; a system of besting | whereby the hallways and all parts of the house are of an even temperature; thereby allowing the whole interior of ^ the house to 'be used by the family at . all timea, and, what is of more impor- ^ tanoe, ventilation of the whole house is easily obtained without creating dan- f gerous drafts or suddenly lowering of ( the. temperature td en uncomfortable | . djjjiii ' There are also electric lights in j c aH jsffM and which do not vitiate the ^ atmosphere by consuming the oxygen . and- giving off gases as aa oil lamp continually does. All garbage is deposited ' in a proper receptacle and removed fre- ^ queutly so that no breeding place for p Ties aad disease-producing germs is foand, and, in addition to this, health £ officers are continually on duty to see that the tews are enforced. The conditions of the average coun- p try home are so well known to every- p one that a description of them is not . necessary. The unsanitary surround-. ? 'Inge do not exist through ignorance, but j rather; from carelessness and neglect. | £ Unfortunately it seems ^to be an in- p herent 'trait of human nature to shirk i ^ » part pf-dnty and (dltow the lines of')least resistance. We do not always do f the best we know and it is necessary 1 1 'for our attention to be continually ! called to certain duties or line9 of sc- . tion in order that we may use the lit- j tie knowledge that we do possess. The remedies that are suggested for f the unsanitary home are known to nearly every one and have been clearly set j ^ forth by the Department of Agriculture i at Washington and by the various j f Boards of Health and have been gener- ' p ally applied in the better class of houses that have been built in the coun- . ^ try during the last few years. - There is now no reason why nearly ; . all of the modern improvements in the g way of conveniences and sanitation ^ should not be applied to all homes, no . matter where located. The matter of finances is of course to be considered, 1 ^ and where the expense of modern plum- j bing and heating is prohibitive, a great ( deal can be done by vv of improving ' the existing conditions with r very email outlay of money.' and it is in Q this latter class of cases that a few practical suggestions may be of great . value. The three most prolific sources of | J disease in the country are, the water . supply, the out-door closet and flies. , The water supply is usually a dug ] b well, closed over at the 'top, with sufli- t rient openings above ground to admit ! Q toads, slugs and other creeping things, i but not sufficient to admit sunlight and | f ventilation. The drainage of surface | { water away from the well is usually such aa to allow a stagnant pool a few j feet away, resulting in the water seep- T ing into the well, dairying with it the " poisonous germs collected on the sur- 8 face. It Jhas been stated by experts on j sanitation that germs will sometimes be carried through the ground into a j ^ well in this manner from a distance of i ° 25 feet. ;h The remedy ft* this condition Is f Sore Throat Prudence. "e No family medicine chest is well stocked , without a bottle of TONSHJNE, for you don't know what moment it may be needed 1 to relieve a sudden case of Sore Throat. * Relieving .Sore Throat is TONSIL! NE'S t special mission. It is made for that— advertised for that— sold for that one purpose. TONSIUNE is the one and only Sore 4 Throat Remedy which is »cid over a large ■part of the United States. You'll nt- c ;

I proper drainage, so that the water will I lie' »pread «»ct ou the ground, at feast b< jthe distance of fifty feet from the well, d< where the action of sunlight will de- ei, 'stray diaease germ* in a very short cl time. The top of the well should be tx left open and covered witn a screen, gl j wails should be cemented anil fre- j I quelit examination at the bottom should f ni j be made with pumping dry an ' thor- I er ; ough cleaning at least twice in the yeaf. j tl | Unless those conditions are rigidly ad- ! ei to a driven well down to deep bt • springs should be used. - ! ai j There is perhaps no single feature of j the farm home surroundings so ne- jar I glected ss the provision and care of the ' a] toilet facilities. The average out door -j j closet in the country is a menace to jthe very life of the community, by the yd spread of disease through the agency r of flies, surd, it is all the more to be re- ti ' gretted because this ganger tan be eas- o j ily removed by proptv construction and ! | diligent care of- the same, j Typhoid fever is one of the diseases most commonly spread by flies and be- V cause of its frequency in the country it *j lis sometimes called a country disease; and, it-has been asserted that a large proportion of the cases occuring in ^ cities really originated in the country, t or, city residents may -have visited the country and carried the disease home with them. Milk from the country may have been contaminated, or, the city * water supply may have been polluted g by the entrance of germs into the water I the country above the reservoir. - It is a well established fact that typhoid germs may be given out for some time by persons who have not developed typhoid fever sufficiently so j that it may be recognized, and that ^ they may also be given out for some time after patients have apparently '' been cured of the disease. Therefor, is quite plain, that any person who J eats or drinks anything that has not ^ been completely protected from the flies, runs a great risk of taking into the system a quantity of disease proI during germs. ] | It has been said that the common c fly is the most dangerous animal the world and we all know that this insjet is especially abundant In the vicinity of farm houses. The reason for 81 this is because their are so many excellent breeding places provided for ' them- Tie preferred food of the larvae of the house fly is the horse manure ^ pile — twelve hundred flies, and probably n more will issue from one point of it w easily every ten days. With an un- ** cared for pile of the same in the vicinity of the house the number of flies will be limited only by the breeding op- Vl portunities. They are attracted to and 8 also lay their eggs in the human ex- ^ j erement. They gain access to kitchens 8 .and dining rooms, where food supply is exposed and in this way contaminated j flies carry disease to healthy individ- ^ j uals. The remedy is of course to break - up the breeding places and destroy the n ! flies. With proper arrangement of scr ens and a fly swatter in every room " lit is not difficult to keep a house free , from flies. j Another source of possible danger t that is usually overlooked is the poul- ■ try yard. 1 know that the poultry j flock has never been seriously consid- 1 ered as a means of conveying disease j 8 I to the family, but to my mind, it may ; °' , a very prolific source of infec- j ! tion. We all know that fowls are sub- P ijett to about the same diseases of the ; 1 i air passages and intestinal tract as the ** family. In fact, acute con tag- j diseases in one of the most serious 1 I problems that the poultry raiser has | ^ I to contend with. Besides the ordinary catarrhal affee- , tions. the fowls are subject to diphthe- tJ ria. cholera anil tuberculosis. K' I do not know, personally, that any I of these diseases have been conveyed ! ol directly from the fowls to the human s' family, but is it not reasonable to sup- 1 ol that they frequently are! The i surrounding conditions of the home are ' " j just as favorable for their transmission j | as in the case of other domestic ani- j s' | mals. A great deal has been said about I ^ j tuberculosis in cattle and thousands i j' | of dollars expended to stamp the dis- j " • ease out. We are told that the milk I from a tuberculosis cow contains the , s< ! tubercle bacilli and that we may be | come infected by its use. Is it not just ! ' j as reasonable to say that the egg from ; P' : a tuberculous hen . may contain the : i bacilli and that we could , become I j infected by eating the egg ! I Farmers Bulletin Not 128 says: "Un- j ; der certain conditions eggs may be the ! ,s j of illness by communicating some " | baoteris disease or. pvuite. It is ' possible for an .egg to become infected, 'either before it is laidjor after — the ^ j shell ia porous, and offers to greater re- j sistaaoe to micre-organisnm which con- : tain diseases, than it /oer to those which cause the egg to tpoiF or rot; when the infected egg jj laten raw it ® may cause disease.

How-, ever, in view of its posribility. it is i to keep aggs eleai as possible i and thns endeavor to prevent idfection." I Clean poultry houses, poultry runs and nests are important and eggs should be stored and marketed under -anitarv conditions.

SO TRESPASSING SIGNS new m «*» «* OffiM, M «l

A hearing was given in Trenton last week by the Appropriations Committee the question of -an appropriation of 825,000, by the state for the continuance of the mosquito control campaign, which has been .conducted for he last few years. The members of. the Mosquito Committee of the Chamber, of Commerce of ( ape May County; Seashore Resorts had been advised of the hearing and the result was that a very strong delegation representing every resort in Jhe county visited Trenton on the day set for the hearing. The meeting was called for 2.30 in the Comptroller's office, and lasted nearly an hour. There were present from Gape May -County Judge J. M. K. Hildreth and Mr. Luther C. Ogden, : from the Cape May Board of Trade and who hare been actively identified with the mosquito control movement, and Messrs. Hippert and other repres' entatives from Wildwood, together With Messrs. Joseph Camp, R. P. Risley, Edward B. Arnett and Otis M. Townsend, representing the Bay Shore, Stone Harbor, Sea Isle City and Ocean City, respectively. A representative attendance was on hand from other resorts along the coast, including Judge Higbee and Dr. Darnell of Atlantic City, and Mr. Engel of the Hotel Engleside, Beach Haren. There wag a delegation pres- ' ont, also, from the upper part of die State, where a 'successful anti-mos-quito campaign has been waged. Judge Hildreth lined up the Cape May dele-uatii-n in front of the committee and having pointed out the interest in the county, which their presence indicated, urged in a brief, but forceful address that the Committee include in its appropriation the sum of $25,000 asked for. Judge Hildreth explained that $5,000 of this sum was to be used for general expenses in connection with the work and that $20,006 was to be used for ditching and the actual work of mosquito control. The presence of th*' Cape . May County delegation - and theearnest request of its spokesman raadr1 a marked impression on the committee. Mr. Joseph Camp, Pierces, also spoke in q^vooacy of the appropriation, explaining the results that he had accomplished by ditching certain meadow lands On the bay shore." Several other addhehse* -were -made by viditors from other sections of the coast, and when the Cape May County Committee left, it wag with the .feeling that their visit would have productive results. It is believed that a considerable proportion of money appropriated will be expended in Ocean and Cape May Counties, provided these counties make an appropriation of their own for the work in addition to what the staU may give.
