tr U I WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1919 3 Ir a a ne THE PUBLIC HEALTH Harriet Fubner R. N. Some important health measures reported by Cook County Public Health nurses from the "outer-belt territory" are as follows: Dolton Village Board is up and coming. At a special session it voted $50 a month toward the salary of a Public Health nurse. The additional sum being given by the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute. The towns which begin supporting a part time nurse this month are La Grange and Des Plaines. The money for this work has been secured through popular subscription. The membership for recruits to the National Association for Public Health nurses in Cook county will | last throughout October. The Cook County Rural nurses expect to win 100 percent. Teeth and their relation to Health is the most popular subject in every school room today. From the Af- lantic to the Pacific startling and wonderful discoveries are being made. A report from Bridgeport, Conn., says that the number of back- ward pupils in the school has been reduced to a remarkable degree, by the special attention given to the care of the teeth of these pupils. In a large percentage of cases, dullness in their studies was directly trace- able to decayed teeth and lack of cleanliness in the mouth and throat. Birth Registration This is just a reminder and a sug- gestion. Every parent or guardian who has not aid away carefully, a duplicate of a precious birth certifi- cate, for each child, should at once do so. The most valuable Christmas gift a parent could bestow at this time is a Birth certificate, purchased at small cost. The reason for this will be given by the editor upon re- quest. Rural Sanitation With the help of the pupils and teachers the Cook County Public Health nurses are going to stage an important piece of work in Cook county. They are going to mark com- comunities and rural sections on the freedom from insanitary and disease breeding conditions, as examples. 1. The farm having the safest water supply, 50 per cent. : 2. The town having the most sani- tary provision store or 'market, 50 per cent. : 3. The cleanest and best ventilated school or church, 75 per cent. 4. The farm with the best manure disposal, 60 per cent. 5. The farm with the best rat proof construction, 60 per cent. The pupils are the investigators and have already received the in- structions regarding the reasons for the percentages given. For instance, every pupil will know that water from shallow wells, springs and small streams should be boiled before us- ing, that surface drainage water' is most dangerous because it is likely to contain disease germs from human wastes. He will know that barnyard manure loses 55 per cent of its fer- tility by heating in heaps in the stable yard, where it is a breeding place for flies, mosquitoes, etc., that spreading daily, this is prevented as well as conserving its valuable ele- ments for soil fertility. Watch this space next week for in Cook County Outerbelt territory. The names of these committees .will {show a total of many hundred peo- ple interested in the promotion of Public Health nursing in Cook coun- ty. nursing are now engaged service in the United States. lare calls for 10,000 more at this pres- ent time. "THE MIRACLE MAN" RANKS WITH GREAT FILM MASTERPIECES Packard and later dramatized by George M. Cohan and presented with phenomenal success on Broadway, Ithe Paramount-Artcraft picture, "The Miracle Man" comes to the Hoyburn jtheater on Monday next for 5 days. As a motion picture this absorbing story has been nailed by the critics as one of the finest productions ever seen on the screen. With scenes laid in the haunts of criminals in New York's Chinatown, in a little village on the side of a giant mountain and on the shore of a roaring ocean, the opportunity for wonderful photo- graphic effects has been realized to the limit. But the 'chief interest is in the striking story, which centers about the venerable figure of an old patriarch, who is credited with the power to heal the sick and make crippled limbs whole again. To him come Tom Burke artd his band of crooks from New York's Chinatown with the idea of cashing in on his powers. But it doesn't work out as they calculated, for hidden away in each of them is a leaven of good, which slowly comes to the surface under the influence of their whole- some environment. In 'a: most marvelous way the criminals are re- claimed from the paths of crime. A cast of unusual ability emacts the important roles in the picture, head- ed by Thomas Meighan, a well known leading man, and including Elinor Fair, Betty Compson, Joseph J. Dowling, Lon Chaney, W. Lawson Butt, J. M. Dumgnt, Lucille Hutton, and F. A. Turner.
