the past 16 years in 1914a dollar was a fair proportion of the cost of a pair of shoes or a bag of sugar would buy meat for a few days and was about 75 per cent of the average mans daily wage and dollars were scarce in 1914 at that i during the warboom years a dollar held the equivalent relative value of a five cent piece in 1 9 1 4 in the minds of many although its actual buying power had only decreased about 75 per cent as wages increased i with a few fluctuations the dollar has remained fairly stable since 1921 but some class or profession always finds that their dollar is not buying as much as other peoples dollars do i there has always been however one commodity in the purchase of which your dollar bought just as much 1 local newspaper i with a subscription price designed to

to burn out the fence rows to get rid of harmful weeds and insects this no doubt is a good policy from those standpoints but it should be kept in mind that it is distinctly harmful to any type of wire fence zinc melts at a compara tively low temperature and the heat from burning grass or weeds is often sufficient to scorch the protective coating and wll probably shorten by several seasons the

think ella wheeler wilcox cariadian medical aftoc clean hands our napds are tn constant use and in the course of a few hours they come into contact with a considerable number of articles it fe because our hands are used so much and that they are consequently almost sure to be soiled that unless property cared for they may be our greatest enemies in previous articles we have stated that the germs af disease leave the body in its secretions the secretions from the nose and mouth are those which most frequently carry disease we should always deal with such sec retions as if we knew them to con tain disease germs the spread of disease depends upon whether the gemladen secretion from one person gains entrance into the body i of an other person the spread of disease may be direct as when the germs are transferred by the droplets which are thrown out in to the air by uncovered coughs and sneezes it may also be indirect and it is in the indirect spread that the hands play an important part in considering the indirect spread there aer two important points to be kept in mind disease germs die comparatively quickly outside of the body ttiey require heat and mois ture to preserve their lives drying de stroys them and sunlight kills them what we have to fear are the fresh moist secretions as our hands are warm and hmid germs can and do persist on them for some time in using the handkerchief in cover ing a cough with the hand we are al most sure to soil our bands with the nose and mouth secretions if we then shake hands with someone we trans fer some of our secretions to the hand of that person if our hands i soiled we soil objects which we touch such a a doorknob someone else may touch these objects after we do and so indirectly the nose and mouth secretions of one person are passed to the hands of another there is no reason however why this should alarm us it has never theless a very practical lesson for us and it is the purpose of this article to bring this lesson to the attention of our readers as long as disease germs remain on the hands hey cannot do us any harm they must gain entrance into our bodies if they are to cause mis chief we can quite readily protect ourselves from he dangers with which our hands may threaten us first of all we should keep our hands away from our faces excepting when using a handkerchief or when eating or using a toothbrush it is a dangerous habit that of touching the face and particularly the lips with the hands jmgost important however la that the hands should be thoroughly washed be fore food is touched
