Medical treatment pronouncements and preventive programs are good as far as t hoy go, bul tho chief responsibility rests, not' with tho health million lies, but with tin- individual. For this disease is highly contagious. And while in generally a light form, therein no assurance that u liuht case in one indi vidual will not be a virulent ease if transmitted to someone else. The only safe rule, therefore, is for every individual suffer ing from a cold of any form, to keep away from crowds and iso late himself as far as possible from close contact with others.

Inn 'l11niri nut nfiflliiiu tut .Inlv 1 ' commenced enforcement of an or dlnunco requiring the pasteuriza tion of all milk. Pasteurization means a kind of parboiling for the purpose of killing dangerous germs in the milk. The mlllt, in the, pus-; teurlzatlon process, Is simply heat-I ed up to u temperature of 140 or I 14.r- degrees V. (of course the tern-I p'-rature must bo carefully record-; ed by thermometer) and kept at that temperature, no higher and ' no tower, for 20 minutes, then ul- j lowed to cool again. This degree; of heat has been found sufficient to kill tubercle, typhoid or diph theria bacilli, as well as the strep tococcus of scarlet ft'Ver, sore throat or septic Infection. The hist new ease of septic sore throat in tho Jjeo epidemic was reported July 14, and this was probably a case of contact iiif'-ellon (the patient bad been taking caro'of one of the H00 Invalids), though contact Infection occurred in very few Instances In this epidemic, unlike some other epidemics of similar character and origin. ; The Massachusetts health au- j thoritles have been unable to de-1 term! no positively whether the j streptococci that were found to be lie the cause of the sore throat In this epidemic came originally frorp the infected udder of one of the cows or from one of the milk, han dlers. They did obtain "puro cul tures" of a hemolytic streptococcus from one f the cows and from sev eral of the milk handlers. Ity the way, "hemolytic" is just a gn,nR name for one of the most virulent strains of streptococcus: the word, means literally "blood destroying.' Among the roles In the rcper- torlo of the utroptocoecus wo must 1 list, along wtlh septic soro throat, scarlet, fever, erysipelas and now and then a cane of acuto general septicemia or "blood poisoning" without apparent wound oi en trance. A ny of Iheso manifesta tions of streptococcus Infection may bo traced, In not a few out breaks, to milk that has been con taminated either ny the diseased udder of the cow or by some dis eased handler somewhere between cow and consumer. It Is because there is ho much danger of suchjoul In okfahoiuy who suddenly pollution or contamination of the,oUUc im a couple o' million dol mllk marketed or peddled In cities hirs said that all dio wanted wtr that the health authorities In most u sow In' machine an' a case o pop cities require the pasteurization of Utm wherry preferred, all market milk. This does not 1- 1 refer to certified milk, which Is absolutely pure and safe In Its raw state. I have often mentioned here the obfix'tions to pasteurization, but ,lhe principal one is overcome readily enough. If the baby must he raised on pasteurised milk,, be sure he gel a dally ration of any fresh fruit or vegetable juice or even factory canned tomato Juice, to provide the H.e,urvy preventing vitamin that is destroyed in milk by pasteurization.

All eyes are fixed upon him then, at every hour his fame's at fttakc; he doesn't dare, like other men, to pull a boner or bad break. We common skates may blunder on, a lot of mis fits, awkward, dumb, begin our blundering at dawn, and keep it up till night is come; und none will pause to criticise, lo sprain, with hoots, the bron chial tubes; wo do' not pose ns superguys we're just tho com mon, garden boobs.
