THE HEALTH BULLETi:^^ 13 sepulclier which appears beautiful without, but within, all uncleanness. There must be first of all cleanliness of food, especially in its preparation. Pood on which flies have crawled is dangerous. Milk demands the most particular care and cleanliness, otherwise it becomes dangerous. All uncooked food, especially, should have careful attention and be kept from flies. 5aittn THE riiES our The next greatest concern is personal cleanliness and cleanliness of the home in general. To keep the body clean by frequent bathing is one of the best safeguards against every disease, especially in warm weather. The sleeping room should be scrupulously clean. The bed clothing and night clothes should be sunned frequently and aired daily. Ihe sleeping room should be well ventilated day and night and .should not be over crowded, either with persons or things. With these foregoing practical precautions and the good common sense that usually abounds in the country, there is no reason why any farm house should not become safe and sanitary. Now that spring has come when the young flies buzz in the sunshine, ready to start on their deathly journeys, no home should be found unprepared to meet the situation. Prevention should seize upon the mind of every farmer and not let go till his family and home are protected and safe. As a further preventive of typhoid we urge anti-typhoid vaccination. So efficient has this means proven in preventing typhoid fever and in reducing the death-rate from this disease that it is accepted as offering almost absolute immunity. The treatment causes only a slight indisposition— perhaps a headache, rarely any fever— and offers immunity three or four years, perhaps longer. Ask your county health officer or your physician to write the State Board of Health, Raleigh, for suflftcient treatment for your family. whkh si:aso:v shall it be? North of the Mason and Dixon Line winter is considered the sickly season of the year. South of the Mason and Dixon Line summer and autumn have been considered the sickly season on account of the prevalence of typhoid and malaria, but so rapidly is the knowledge of sanitation and the use of vaccination against typhoid driving out these two diseases that the South also will be forced to accept winter as its season of sickness. Meanwhile the North sees where it can change winter, as its most sickly season, as the winter diseases are due to germs and are the most prominent factor producing the sickness rate. Pneumonia is found to be at the head with the common colds as a disabling factor closely following. The other leading diseases, also due to germs, may be mentioned as scarlet fever, measles, rheumatism, bronchitis and other like preventable diseases. The solution of the northern situation, they claim, lies more or less in the question of ventilation.
