Wrapped Hrend Itcltrr.
The Kansas State Hoard of Health
b recently mndo somo interesting
HDtrlmcnts in testing bread wrapped
nd nnwrawicl. Tho tests were
made for tho purpose of ascertaining
Ho correctness of claims mndo by
Uiera that tho wrapped bread did
not keep, soured sooner, beenmo
mmildr. lost moisture, nnd finally
u (oo much. Suinmariilug tlio ro-
Blti obtained, the report says, "Wo
found that the loss in weight for tho
unwrapped loaf was about twlco as
treat as for tho wrapped loaf; tho
iddlty (or souring quality) remained
trattlcally the same; tho salablllty
(is prolonged to twlco tho ordinary
period. Wrapping Improves tho
tutor."
Tho Cancer Problem.
Cancer Is ono of tho chief causes
of death. It claims about 75,000
IItcs crery year In tho United States.
At aces over 40 tho dlsoaso causes
m dMth In eight among women
ni one death in 14 among men. At
ajes over 10 It Is a grcator mennco
ttan tnoercuiosis or juiuuiiiumu.
Much Is known about cancer, but
tie present knowledge Is not suffi
ciently utilized. Cancer Is not n con
illtutlonal or blood dlsoaso. but is at
fint a local growth which enn, at
Hit time, bo easily removed by
prompt surgical operation.
Housing Fuels.
Some Interesting figures have
ln Dreuarcd by Dr. lluchau. tho
Medical Officer of Health for llrad
ford, England. Tho death rato last
year in ono and two-roomed homes
u about :a per iuou, tnrcc-roomcti
homes 20. four-roomed houses 12.4,
asd in houses of more thnn four
rooms only 3.C per 1000.
Thui the mortality rato whero pco

"Common Cold'' Hints.
Pretention Is easier than euro.
Keep away from thoso who havo
(olds.
If you have a cold keep away from
(titers.
Krcqnently enter the ontsldo nir
conns tho day.
Compel yourself to breathe plenty
i ireia air a; nignt.
Clothe ouraelf properly; lightly
Indoors, and moro heavily when out
coon. Upmplring don't go Into the out
ride air.
II mother 1ms a cold alio should
eoter her nose aud mouth when nura

Hickncss and death.
Not many people who have tuber

their mouths know It. You may havo
them, in your own mouth, hence do
not endanger your fcllowmun by the
vIcIoub and filthy habit of pernicious
expectoration.
Health Note.
Wnr h greatest ally Is dlscnse.
Public health la purchasable and
it is tlio ucst bargain ever offered.
The koynoto of the present cam
paign for public health Is education.
More than HiO cities In tho United
Stntcs now havo bacterlnl standards
of milk.
Now York City Is sendlnc 2.000.000
units nf tetanus antitoxin a month to
tho warring nations of Europe,
Venereal diseases constitute prob
nbly tho most Important factor In tho
degeneration and depopulation of tho
world.
There arc 1,000,000, or four out of
every 100, in tho United States, who
aro victims of morphine, opium or
cocaine.
.
The aggregate cost of llliiewt, duo
to occupations alone, in tho United
States amounts to J772.8a2.8C0 and
this is for tho most part proventabio.
In Now York City it was found
that 30 per cent of tho children llv
ing witn tuuercuioiis parents wcro
also affected with tho disease.
Tho peoplo of tho United States
nnd Canada upend over $110,000,000
on patent mcdlclno overy year. Most
or this patent mcdlclno contains nar
cotic drugs nnd ninny contain alcohol
to develop tho liquor habit.
Inspection of- housing conditions
should never bo neglected by a wide
awake henltli department: this should
bo dono no matter what sizo tho city
Is; it Is ono of tbn greatest oppor
tunities a health officer has at his
command to bring better health to
tho community.
Jhe following Is a warning from
nuffnlo, N. Y.: A Btnte law should bo
passed compelling parents to consent
to tho uso of antitoxin for their chil
dren oven though they don't wish It
used upon themselves. If tho chil
dren wcro of ago they would prob
ably demand It. If a child commits
n crlnio tho parents don't havo any
thing to say about its punishment;
