I A LESSON FROM BEAVERTON
;Last week one of the Portland papers carried the following
news story f rom Bea verton :
"Use of turd water wells, instead of soft water, has resulted in
great improvement in the condition of teeth, and in general health of
Jleavcrton school children, it was revealed at a meeting of the Kiwanis
club yesterday by Dr. J. R. Talbert, a resident physician.
"The report on the beneficial results of the present water system
Jry Talbr-rt was that a series of mouth and teeth testa, conducted on
in hool children over a period of eight years, had proved that during
The time the children were using soft water their teeth and general
jtealth was bad in three out of four cases. Since using hard water
from wells the general tone of child health has improved, and the
ratio of bad teeth and health cases has dropped to one out of six."
"Like th? water formerly in use in Boaverton Bends water
iswoft. Indeed, it is unusually soft. It is so free from mineral
cofitent that it is used in automobile batteries without dis
tillation. In other words the local water, in the matter of
niiucrals, is like distilled water. It has' none.
;Now this is all very well for batteries but not so good for
hiunans as is suggested by the Beaverton experience. Certain
mflierals are essential for proper growth, calcium being one
ofthe most important. The growing child is supposed to get
calcium from the milk he drinks but if there is no calcium in
the1 food of the cow none goes into the milk. Iodine is an essen
tial for the avoidance of goiter. There are neither calcium nor
iofjine in the local water, nor other important minerals.
-Many families know these fact and provide for the condi
ticjis associated with them by special care with their food and
especially that for their children. Many families do not know
the facts and have not the means of arrange the special diets
necessary. There is a public resjionsibility here that should
btwnet.
- With this Beaverton story in mind one wonders if it is not
possible to introduce into our water supply the minerals nec
esSary to proper growth. That might be hard on the batteries
bul it certainly would be beneficial for the children. Chlorine
is2idded at times to destroy bacteria. Why not add minerals
tojbfjild bodies?
r: COLORADO RECOMMENDS
"For 1940 the Colorado state chamber of commerce adopt
ed statement of policy containing the following with respect
torfcderal affairs :
om. We reiterate our belief that the portion of the unemployment
problem which still remains can be solved only by the full restoration
Trf enterprise. This can be accomplished through re-establishment of
confidence of business men. manufacturers and investors in the finan
.cial future of the nation and the stability of its institutions. As steps to
'this end, we urge upon the national government the following:
"1. Reduce its public works program to those projects which when
.completed will be permanent public assets. .
"2. Withdraw as rapidly as possible from all activities conducted
under emergency legislation.
"3. Liquidate or dispose of many governmental activities which
compete with trade or industries conducted by its taxpayers.
"4. Eliminate all unnecessary boards, bureaus, commissions, and ad
ministrations, and. within the limitations of efficiency, reduce the per
waennel of those it may be necessary to retain.
"5. Balance the national budget by effecting economies in govern
ment and by a revision of the tax laws in accordance with sound prin
ciples of public finance and with an equitable distribution of the tax
burden.
- "6. We urge throughout the nation, that state and local authorities
curtail their requests for Federal financial aid."
Let it be noted that the foregoing is not a statement of
policy prepared by partisan politicians. Republicans undoubt
edly helped to prepare it and so did Democrats.
" The failure of the New deal to pay attention to such recom
mendations as those by the Colorado chamber is one of the
reasons for its record of failure.
And speaking of the pure politics that the Hatch act is
intended to promote how about those Democratic campaign
books sold at high prices and in large quantities to corpora
tions forbidden to make political contributions? For a brazen
disregard of law and ethics that little stunt of Headman
fSrlcy took the cake when it was invented and this year ft is
ttr be repeated.
Earmarked guld is being shipped to this country from
kurope. A lot of fear-marked gold, too.

Washington
Column
By Bruce Cation
t N t A Service Staff Writer)
Washington A fight over how
much protection labor ought to get
when railroads are merged is the
chief thing delaying the omnibus
transportation bill the big "reform"
the railroads want so badly.
A senate-house committee is weld
ing together the senate's Wheeler bill
and the house's Lea bill. Basically
they are much the same; what the
railroads like is that they put water
carriers under the interstate com
merce commission. Big difference is
what they say about mergers.
The Wheeler bill simply says that
in mergers there must be "a fair and
equitable arrangement" for labor, the
I. C. C. to be the judge; the Lea bill
flatly forbids any merger that would
reduce employment or cut workers'
pay.
The railroads naturally want the
former clause. It hs been okayed
by all the railroad brotherhoods ex
cept the trainmen's. The latter found
an ally in Congressman Harrington
of Iowa, who got the clause they, like
into the Lea bill and is now keeping
it there by a novel parliamentary
maneuver.
Harrington circulated a petition
demanding that the committee keep
his clause in the bill and got 275
congressmen to sign it.
COMMITTEE PLUGS
LOOPHOLE DRAFT
When the Smith commit tee was
drafting its bill to change the Wag
ner act and the labor board, lots of
model amendments covering differ
ent points were submitted by organi
zations anxious, to have the law
modified. The committee threw out
all samples and used its own lan
guage except. in the cnc of the
"free speech" amendment, where it
used the one. the A. F. of L. had
handed in.
'It was too drastic even for us old
conservatives, though, and we had
to tone it down," says Congressman
Smith. 'It didn't give labor enough
protection. The way the A. F. of L.
wrote it, it would be lawful for an
employer to talk with his workers
about unionization provided the talk
wasn't accompanied by an 'act of
discrimination.'
"You could drive a horse through
that. Why, under it, an employer
could call in a worker and say, 'Bill
Jones, you've worked for me 20
years; but you old so-and-so, if you
join the union I'll fire you' and the
law couldn't have touched him. So
after the words, 4act of discrimina
tion,' wo added, 'or intimidation or
coercion.' "

TRICHINOSIS
Ori-.fH State tUwiilof Hratth)
This diMJOie is not communicable
from person to person. It i com
municable from hogs to people, but
only after the hogs have been killed
and the pork or pork products eaten
uncooked or undercooked, except in
the case of products processed under
federal meat regulations. The animal
parasite, trichinella spiralis, which
causes this disease occurs in the
muscles of infested hogs. When the
flesh of the hog is eaten without
sufficient cooking to kill the para
sites, the latter develop in the body
of the consumer and cause the dis
ease. l "The symptoms of trichinosis are
'often vague and easily confused
with other conditions, and it is cer
tain that many caes occur without
ever being recognized. However,
pains in the muscles of different
parts of the body, with puffiness of
the face and eyelids, more or less
severe digestive disturbance, and
weakness, should lead a doctor to
suspect this disease, especially ii the
patient has recently eaten raw or in
sufficiently cooked pork. If then the
doctor examines the blood micro
scopically, as is so cornmoply done to
ass lit lite diagnosis of many diseases,
he will be very unlikely to find the
parasites. They are seldom there in
large numbers or for a long time. But
he will be quite likely to detect
eosinophilia. which for some reason
often occurs in cases of trichinosis.
This should make him still more sus
picious. Eosinophil cells are a variety
of white blood corpuscles, which are
present in only a small percentage in
normal blood, but are greatly in
creased in numbers in cases of tri
chinosis and some other conditions.
"Sometimes, as in the country,
where the carcasses of farm-killed
hogs are kept for some time during
the winter it is possible to examine
some of the remaining meat, and find
the para-sites m it. Another way to
identify the disease fa to snip out a
tinv portion of the painful muscles
of the patient, and examine that un
der the microscope, fortunately, we
now have other tests, recently im
proved, which make the diagnosis

th at congress will decide soon to do
.something about modifying the wage
and hour law as it affects Puerto
Rico.
The house has before it the senate
passed King bill, under which .special
industry committees would be set up
to find out what Puerto ftican wage
mimmums ought to be. The bill is
okay by the wage and hour people,
but every time an effort is made to
pass it, it gets tagged with broad
amendments exempting big labor
groups on the mainland, which the
wage and hour folks won't stand for.
Result, so far, ts no action at all.
Meanwhile the situation on the is
land is bad. Aside from sugar, the
big industry is needlework, with IK). -000
workers getting about 10 cents
an hour. The jump to the legal level
of 0 cents just i&n't being made,
and the wage and hour division isn't
prosecuting, realizing the jump is too
big and figuring the law will present
ly be modified.
almost certain. One consists of inject- '
ing a small amount of trichina anti- 1
gen into the kin and looking for a
red reaction: the other is a nrecipitin
test performed with a small amount
of the patient's serum placed in con
tact with the antigen.
'Trichinosis may be quite a nuld
condition, but many cases are severe
and some are fatal.
Unfortunately, a very consider
able proportion of hogs in this coun
try have the trichinella in their
bodies, and the only safe rule to
avoid the disease is always to cook
pork very thoroughly before eating
it. noasts or other thick cuts should
be cooked for at lcat a half hour for
each pound of meat, and in any case
until the flesh becomes while, not
pink. Pork sausages and other prod- '
ucts are sometimes eaten without i
cooking, such as in sandwich fillers. I
This is a dangerous practice unless
thoMi orodurtj. have been insncctcd
and passed by tltc bureau of auimal j
industry or other approved agency.
The trichincUa is an interesting (
little round worm, which is seldom
seen in the adult stage since it is i
hidden in the mucous membrane of j
the intestine. The larvae are pro-'
duced in large numbers in the in
testine. From there they are carried
all over the body by the blood.
Trichinella arc too small to be seen
by the naked eye. But when they
arrive in the muscles they coil up
into a spiral and become covered
with a sort of capsule, forming a
so-called 'cyst.' The 'cyst' may be as
much as one-fiftieth of an inch knj.
and is barely visible. Under even a
low power micoscupe cysts are read
ily seen in bits of mtiacle which have
been flattened out between two glass
slides. They look like small trans
parent lemons, each containing a
coiled-up spring.
MHogs most commonly become in
fested with trichinae through a kind
of involuntary cannibalism. That is,
they are fed on garbage which con
tains among other things, scraps of
uncooked pork or other parts of
slaughtered hogs. This is all very
nice for the trichinellac, which are
thus assured of comfortable homes
, for their children and grandchildren,
I but it is bad for the hogs and for the
! people who eat undercooked pork.
This could all be prevented by cook
ing the garbage before feeding it to
the hogs.
"The government efforts to pre
vent trichinosis by inspection arc
necessarily very limited. Pork, which
is customarily cooked, is not imped
ed nor subjected to any process to
kill trichinae. Some of the pork prod
ucts which are frequently eaten
without cooking, such as the dry
summer sausages, are subjected to
processing to make them safe. Only
such products as hear the govern
ment stamp of approval (or that of
some other acceptable agency), may
be safely eaten without cooking.
"The prevention of trichinosis hi
hogs can be slowly effected by mak
ing and enforcing regulations to pre
vent the feeding of thesr animals
with uncooked sarbage, but it will
apparently be a long time before this
j uh generally aconipltshed. In the
meantime, the prevention of the dis-
ease among people will remain large
1 ly a matter of individual precaution."
