DISHWASHING AND DISEASE
(Literary Digest)
How many of those people who
approve the legislation abolishing
the common drinking cup in many
states stop to think that at every
meal, public and private, they are
using dishes and utensils from which
scores of other persons, mostly ;
strangers, have previously eaten?
These utepsils have been presum
ably cleansed by washing, in the
intervals: but this, it will be noted. 1
simply tbr-aws the burden of disease
prevention on the dish washer. How
generally is the dishwasher trust
worthy? An editorial writer in Amer
ican Medicine (New York) assures
us that dishwashing as a household
performance is worthy of study in
connection with thn preservation of
family health, and that in the realm
of cafe, restaurant, hotel dining
rooms, or quick lunch places, it is
a matter of public concern.- The
writer discusses some recent obser
vations and experiments by Man
heimer and Ybanez. to determine the
relative efficiency of the methods
of dishwashing by hand and by me
chanical apparatus. It says:
“Their data demonstrate that if |
manual dishwashing were carefully j
and thoroughly performed there j
would be comparatively little menace
in the use of dishes and silver thus
cleaned. Unfortunately, in perfor- j
mance, manual dishwashing is less
tis'actory than is desirable, owing
.1 tl« fact that the rush of persons |
in restaurants occurs during limited!
hours and dishes must be cleaned i
rapidly for repeated use. Speed is j
demanded rather than cleanliness.
The dish water is not changed fre j
fluently enough: the rinsing ip in j
adequate, and the drying is perform
ed with towels that would not pass
a censor of public health.
' Mechanical washing eliminates
the uncertain hand power, subjects
the dishes to higher temperatures !
than are possible during the manual
process, and provides a time of ex

WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
— - w
Everyone should drink hot water *
with phosphate In It, •
before breakfast.
{
To feel as fine as the proverbial
Eddie, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician.
If you get headaches, it's your liver.
If you catch rold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with a bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be
comes rancid, it’s your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
ail denote liver uncleanliness. Your
liver Is the mo..t important, also the
must abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which Is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
?an only be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
well, should drink each morning be
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos
phate in it, to wash from tlie liver and
bowels the previous day’s Indigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile and
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into :
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re
strict the diet like calomel, because it
can not salivate, for it is harmless and
you fair eat anything afterwards. It
is Inexpensive and almost tasteless, and
any pharmacist will sell you a quarter
pound, which is sufficient for a dem
onstration of how hot water and lime
stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and
freshens the liver, keeping you feeling
ftt day in and day out. >
posure to water of a temperature
sufficiently high to kill all non-spore
bearing organisms.
“The significance of the deductions
with reference to the difference in
| efficiency between the two methods
lies in the fact that uncleanliness in
dishwashing has a bearing upon the
welfare of the entire consuming pub
lic, whether the meals are eaten at
j home or purchased over a counter,
or at a table.
“In the average home dishwashing
is not a remarkably hygienic process.
The water is usually below the tem
perature necessary for destroying
bacteria, because the dishwashpr
must frequently dip her hands into
the pan containing the soapy water.
The soap itself plays very little part
in the disinfection of knives, forks;
spoons, cups, glasses, plates, or
other table utensils utilized during
the preparation or consumption of
food. Unclean dishtowels are too
generally employed for the drying
of dishes which perhaps may have
been reasonably free from infective
material. Rapidity in dishwashing
is not unnatural in the busy house
hold where the routine of dishwash
ing is jjot regarded so much as a
matter of hygiene as a problem in
esthetics, and where the desire to
get out of the house for purposes of
pleasure or shopping makes speed
a matter of primal interest. Further
more. the practice of permitting
soiled dishes to accumulate or to re
main smeared with baeteria-breeding
detritus, attracting flies or insects
and possibly rodents, is hardly con
ducing to insuring cleanliness of
tableware at the next usage.
“It is obvious that the character
of cleanliness in homes can be im
proved only through the education
of the wife, and by the insistence of
physicians that hygienic principles
be observed when infectious disease
inflicts a household. It is possible
to protect the public from general
carelessness, ignorance, or haste in
public eating places, by passing or
dinances demanding that all eating
utensils in public plao?s be subject
to a temperature of at least 80 de
grees C. for one minute before they
utilized by other patrons.
“Dishwashing may appear to be a
trifling detail, but the science of
hygiene is built up of trifles. Per
fection in hygiene is attained only
by attention to the little things._

She is very easy to look at—what is

“No. He was her first husband.

CRUEL AND UNUSUAL FUN
A burly man arose in a train that
was passing into Kansas from Kan
sas City, Mo. “Gentlemen.” he pro
claimed. “I am a sheriff. Please put
all your grips out in the aisle so I
can search them.” Visions of a jail !
sentence for having liquor in his
possession flashed through the mind
of a man halfway down the car. Con-1
vulsively he threw his grip out of the
window, and sat back a nervous
and thirsty man When he found that
the “sheriff” was only a traveling
salesman having fun with evaders of
the bone-dry law. his nervousness
grew upon him and his thirst be
came a thirst for blood.

LIGHTNING CALCULATOR
One day. as Pat halted at the top
of the river bank, a man famous for
his inquisitive mind, stopped and
asked:
‘How long have you hauled water
for the village, my good man?”
"Tin years, sor.”
“Ah. how many loads do you take
in a day?”
“From tin to fifteen, sor.”
“Ah, yes. Now I have a problem
for you. How much water at this
rate have you hauled in all?”
The driver of the watering cart
Jerked his thumb backward toward
the river and replied;
“All the water yez don’t see there

GULLS MAY HELP IN WAR
It may be that gulls are to be use
ful in detecting lurking submarines.
At least a Brooklyn inventor pro
poses their use for this.
His plan is to educate the gulls of
our Atlantic seaboard by having sub
marines feed them frequently at sea,
both from the surface and by releas
ing floating food front their depth.
: The gulls, thus learning that a sub
i marine when sighted above water or
below, means food for them, will
henceforth flock above any submar
ine and thus reveal its presence.
Gulls in their constant search for
floating food cover vast stretches of
sea and can detect a submarine at
a considerable depth. It may be that
with the geese that saved Rome will
some day be immortalized the gulls
that saved the allies from the Ger
man menace and it may be not.—

EVERY ROAD HAS ITS SPRIGGS
Most blind and deaf people are
not nearly so sensitive about their
afflictions as we think they are. The
Deaf Times, for instance, tells this
story: The railway chairman was
explaining his reorganization of the
staff and came to Spriggs. The chief
shareholder gasped: “Spriggs! What
on earth can he do? Why, he’s so
deaf that he can’t hear thunder!
What post have you given him?”
‘‘I think you will agree, returned
the chairman stiffly, "that the direct
ors understand their business thor
oughly. Mr. Spriggs will attend each
day and hear all complaints from
passengers.”—New York Globe.

JUST THINK OF IT
The solemnity of the meeting was
somewhat disturbed when the elo
quent young theolog pictured in glow
ing terms the selfishness of men who
spend their evenings at the club,
leaving their wives in lonliness at
home. "Think, my hearers,” said he
‘of a poor, neglected wife, all alone
in the great, dreary house, rocking
the cradle of her sleeping babe with
one foot and wiping away her tears
with the other.”

THOUGHT HORSES HAD IT, TOO.
One morning little Mabel, who was
visiting her uncle’s farm, was sitting
at the open window. The horses
were standing near. Mabel was just
recovering from the whooping cough.
Suddenly one of the horses began
coughing, and little Mabel exclaimed:
"Oh, the horses have got the whoop
ing cough too.”

NO DUDE
"I s’pose I’m a reg’lar old fogy,”
Haid Uncle Ezra, “but I’m blamed if
I can see any sense in that there
bathrobe my new nephew sent me
from the city. I tried to take a
bath in the durned thing last Satur
day night, and if it wasn’t for the
style of it I could have done a dog
gone sight better without it.”

ache or Bladder trouble—
Neutralizes acids.
___
Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The
unne becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush oil the body's urinous waste
or you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
-ick headache, dizziness, stomach® gets
•our, tongue coated and you feel rheu
matic twinges when the weather is bad.
Tat less meat, drink lots of water;
ilso get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful
n a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
wane it is only trouble. , - ..

Jeffersonville has a special school
district containing about twenty-four
square miles. The school house is
new and modern. It is beautifully
situated on the side of Crowley's
ridge and looks down on the St.
Francis river at the mouth of the
L’Anguille. F Special, as the district
is numbered, is well represented by
its board, consisting of L. F. Lyons,
L. J. Todd and James Lyons of the
Osborn plantation, and W. M. Hale,
J. N. Lvle and J. C. Hale of “this
side.”
The total enrollment for the nine
months term of school is thirty six
pupils. We are told this is the
largest for many years. The severe
cold cut down the attendance this
month. Grace Lyle, John Lyons and
Margaret Lyons are the only pupils
present every day. This will be!
greatly Improved, we trust, after the
holidays. The school gave no public
entertainment at Christmas having
given a declamation contest th§ night j
after Thanksgiving. This was well i
attended and enjoyed by the com
munity. Twenty one pupils took part.
The medals were awarded to Grace
Lyle, John Lyons and Clemie Thorn.
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Roberts of Ma
rianna are spending the Christmas
season with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. W. M Hale.
Frank Lyle ate Christmas dinner
with the home folks, but had to re- i
turn soon to Forrest City where he'
is employed by the firm of Herring

Marie and Bessie Hale this week
are entertaining their cousin, Jamei
