Health Talks i !N;i;it nmvi.s rius i Though It is contrary to the book of etiquette, finger bowls ought really io oe servca at me ueginnmg rather than at the end of a meal. The present practice serves an esthetic end. tho recommended one would serve as a measure of better personal hygiene. But there is nothing very novel In this suggestion. In fact. It is an old idea. The Mosaic law which In cludes to many good rules for the protection of health, forbids an or thodox believer to touch food before his hands have been washed. Keen observation had no doubt Im pressed the author of those sanitary laws that unclean hands arc a source of. and a means of. transmitting dis case. Indeed the observations need not to have been so very keen to appre ciate the point, for in the course of tiu hour the hands come In contact with a vast multitude of things which in themselves hud previously been tombed by scores If not hun dreds oi others, and each contact rep resent n possible source of dangrr. Now the matter is simple, nnd yet! A large number of our schools have lunch-rooms for their pupils, or culeterta services, where those thai cannot or will not go home lor their midday meal may eat. How many among these schools provide washing facilities? How many shops, factories, or offices have a place where the workers mit;ht wash their hands before rating, without having to stand in line for half the lunch period? And also how many parents insist upon having their chil dren come to the dinner-table with hands frenhly washed? Consider the care we bestow upon our foods, how wr protect our milk, our meat, and our water from con tamination and pollution, and then consider how nil of the precautions bestowed upon our food substances turn to nnuttht by the soiled hands that transport the victuals from table to mouth.
