Reviewing the progress in the control, of smallpox, scurvy, Choi era and similar diseases which by persistent work had been rendered almost unknown in Canada, Dr Fleming urged that similar persis- tence be applied to such present day scourges as tuberculosis. Go After Tuberculosis "Infant mortality," he said, "quot- ing Sir Arthur Neiweholme," is the most sensitive index we posses of social welfare." Out of 220,000 ha- bies born alive in Canada in 1939, X'3',900 did not live to see their first birthday and of this 'number, 7,000 did not survive for one month. In addition, he said, there had been 6,000 stillbirths and 967 mothers' lives were lost in childbirth. These figures, he said, could be 'nterpreted in two ways, ab an en- couraging improvement over con- ditions of former days, or as an impetus for action to avoid needless was a of life. Without any question," he added, "Canada can save the liv- es of 500 mothers and of 1 least 6,000, babies. Should Be 'No Typhoid "In 1939 we had 109 typhoid fever deaths in this province, which would indicate an incidence of over 1,000 cases, not one' of which should have occurred." Milk is, the most important single Of food used 'in the home, Dr. Fleming continued, and when con taminated is "as dangerous to in- -traduce into the family as a live bomb. Nevertheless, it is true that raw milk which is always poten- tially dangerous, is regularly used thy many ,people who flatter them- selves that they are intelligent" Food Poisoning Types The Consumers Counsel of the U. S. Agricultural Adjustment Ad- ministration hays that two of the most common cause of food poison- ing are: 1. Food not properly sterilized or refrigerated. 2. Carelessness in handling households insecticides. The 'Consumers Counsel then goes on to say that— , Under the law, products capable of causing food poisoning may be grouped into three general classes. .First, those that contain poisonous su•bsi anceh like arsenic of lead. Second those that ,harbor disease ,germs such as oysters or milk, containing the bacteria of typhoid fever. Third, food in which bacteria have developed, as in contaminated mustard mixings. According to this same survey, mass food poisoning such as occur at church .suppers, picnics., or fairs are almost always caused by in- sufficient refrigeration, Anotha- cause of a great many eases of food poisoning is just plain carelessness in storing perishables where they will not be properly rs- frigerated, carelessness in handling foods that are being prepared for the table, and carelsss'ness itr the use of disinfectants, inecticides and other household chemicals where YOUR LIFE LINE IS IT STRAIGHT OR CROOKED?

A. Kibler Next to .Imperial Bank t-IRTOWEL food is prepared. Prevention Medical men agree that the sur- est way to halt an epidemic is to stamp the diseae out at its source. The same reasoning can be applie:t to food poisoning. To this end, there are three fundamental rules which, if followed, would contribute greatly to the complete elimination of food poisoning. 1. Keep foods free from dirt and from insects or other carriers of microorganisms. See that all fold to be eaten raw is freshly cleaned and sound, free from stale odor's, from slimy rotten areas and from mould. 2. Serve cooked food as soon after it is prepared os possible—this applies especially to custard mix- tures. Do not expose moist or soft cooked food to a temperature above 50 degrees F. for more than s few hours. Keep them in the re- frigerator. If no refrigerator is available, recook the food before serving it, even if it shows no sign of spoilage. 3, Never take a chance on any food with an unusual smell or ap- pearance Be especially careful with custard mixtures. Prepare the custard only as needed. Cook IL sufficiently and, if it is not to be served right away, keep it under refrigeration. The Solution -" I Electric refrigerators have alwa,v been' designed to provide tempera- tures emperatures that are well within the Safe ty Zone limits. If more people followed the three fundamental rules of prevention of food poisoning, and stored their perishable foods in a modern elect•ic refrigerator, then indeed the root of food poisoninf would he destroyed at its source. Millionh of families who are users of electric refrigertaors are proving every day that an eectric refrigerat- or is an economic necessity, not e luxury. FREE SERVICE OLD, DISABLED OR DEAD ,.
