222 THE inKALTH BULLETIN tidy housewife in cleaning up and destroying the ''holdover" in the spring. One fly that survives the winter may become the parent of myriads next summer! DUMMY WANTED! Fourteenth Century Method of Taking Patent Medicine 1. M. C. A, BOYS AND MOSQUITOES Twenty-six Y. M. C. A. boys in Greensboro entered a contest in the matter of seeking out and destroying mosquito-breeding places in Greensboro. During the week of the contest 128 breeding places for mosquitoes were located and destroyed. Three valuable medals were given to the three boys who found 20 or more mosquito-breeding places and destroyed them. Mr. Harry Schiffman won first honors by locating 28 breeding places, while Raymond Pearce scored 21, and Charles L. Hinkle 20. Dr. J. T. J. Battle, as head of the anti-mosquito campaign in Greensboro, decorated the winner with a sterling silver medal and furnished a bronze medal to each of the other boys scoring over 20 mosquito-breeding places found and destroyed. Of course, the mere destroying of 128 breeding places for mosquitoes is not the full measure of the value of such a campaign. It taught not only the 26 boys actively engaged in the campaign, but also the families of these 26 boys and a great number of other people a whole lot of things about mosquitoes and mosquito breeding places that they did not know before. This was a splendid idea, and we congratulate Greensboro on the move.__ Colds do not ''turn into" pneumonia, bronchitis, or consumption. They w^eaken the tissues in particular and the body in general, so that the germs of pneumonia, bronchitis, and consumption, which are quite different from the cold germs, find easy entrance. n ONG have superstitions in medicine persisted. In Chaucer's day, the fourteenth century, violent and poisonous drugs w^ere used, but luckily they w^ere often administered to a little dummy w^hich the doctor carried about with him. As we read each day in our newspapers of the various nostrums advertised as curing every mortal ill, we may well wonder if the average credulity has really greatly lessened after twelve centuries of fakes and faith cures, and we almost long for the return of the day when the medicine man practiced on a dummy instead of the human body.—Prof. Call Holliday in Scientific Monthly, COMMON TOWELS New Hampshire is awake to the importance of the "common towel" health menace. In order to carry into effect the requirements of a Board of Health regulation, the health officers are directed, under authority of law, to prohibit the use of the common towel in hotels, schools, railroad stations, public halls, churches, barber shops, stores, public baths, and all other public places. The term "common towel" shall be considered to mean a roller-towel, or a towel available for use by more than one person without being washed after such use. The paper towel is cheap, and is gaining in popularity. Just as the paper napkin has become a useful household commodity, so the towel will not only save a large amount of laundering, but every member of the household may have his individual towel without the trouble of keeping a separate rack or mark to distinguish his personal property.
