HEAL`hh EDUCATION
BY DR. J. J. M1DDLETON
Provincial Board of Health, Ontario.
Middleton will be glad to answer questions on Public Health mat-
tees through this column. Address him at Spadina House, Spadini
Crescent, Toronto.
Up to the age of twenty, rheum -
'talent is a more frequent cause of
heart disease than all other causes
combined. This is the opinion of medi-
cal authorities the world over, but Dr.
Haven Emerson of New Yolk goes
one step farther. He says thatheart
disease, due to rheumatism, is con-
tagious. Dr. Emerson cites a parallel
to illustrate his contention. He draws
attention to the fact that only within
recent years have medical practition-
ers and research students in the field
of heart disease begun to realize that
there is a virus of rheumatism which
may be contagious. If all members
of the households in which an open
case of pulmonary tuberculosis has
been found are carefully examined,
not less than 18 per cent. of them,
yyoung and old, will show 'evidence of
tuberculosis in an acute or sub -acute
stage. This common experience is, to
our minds,' easily explained, because
we can see, trace and demonstrate the
tubercle bacillus, which causes the
disease. . This organism can be found
in the sputum of the open case of tub-
erculosis, usually in the dust of his
bedroom and in the diseased tissues of
the persons who have been in close
association with him in the horse.
Now if we repeat such a study in
the families from which acute' cases
of rheumatic heart disease have been
admitted to hospital care or to dispen-
sary supervision, we shall find that
here again 15 per cent. of the con-
tacts, those in the intimate circle of
the families, will commonly give a de-
finite history or show physical evi-
dence of attacks of acute rheumatic
fever or of tonsilitis or of chorea with
or without accompanying affections of
the heart. True, •this is only circum-
stantial evidence, and until some
is found of identifying with exactness
the specific organism of rheumatic
fever and its many secondary injur-
ies to heart and other tissues, we can-
not speak with; the same positiveness
that we do of the communicability of
tuberculosis. . However, enough is
',known to justify us in thinking of and
dealing with the group of illnesses
which we class as acute rheumatic, as
if we were dealing with an acute -com-
municable infection. This calls for the
simple and well-established precau-
tions of so-called medical aseptic
;
technique of the sickroom.
No longer will it be good form: to
inake a social centre and family gath-
ering place of the bedroom of acute
rheumatism, This includes Tommy
with his "growing pains" at five, and
Sally with "St. Vitus's Dance" at
seven, and Dad, with sore throat, 'as
well as Uncle Ned, who has a rip-
roaring inflammatory rheumatism
every couple of years, and was told
after the last attack that he must
have his tonsils out, and favor his
heart a bit because the rheumatism
had touched one or the valves, before
it left liim weak and aenemic. Yes,
even though we know that one person
cannot transmit to ,another the dam-
aged heart valve or the diseased
muscle wall, the common cause of
rheumatic heart and joints can, we be-
lieve, be passed from the sick to the
well in very much the same way that
an acute sore throat can go the rounds
of a family.
Cleaner mouths, fewer, diseased ton-
sils, fewer: neglected .decayed teeth,
earlier recognition of sore throats and
quick care In their treatment as seri-
ous infections, the considered and
skilled attention to the little child
with aching muscles and joints+ -"too
young to have rheulntaism," "kept up
and about with growing pains,'—re-
peated examinations of the heart after
attacks of any acute infectious fever
in childhood, always separation of the
sick from the well; by such means will
the number of acute rheumatic hearts
be reduced:
- Surveying the Seas.
Plans for the most complete survey
of the oeean ever attempted have been
inauguratedby a:conference repre-
senting scientific branches of the chief
governments of the world.
One or more ships will be fitted out
with a complete laboratory and equip-
ped with the latest scientific apparat-
us
pparatus for the first cruise. The sea bot-
tom will not only be mapped, but the
eomposdtlon 01 the water, its density,
temperature and currents which affect
the distribution of marine plant and
animal life will be studied at all
depths.
Five -sevenths of the sedate of the
earth is covered by water. This water
area can produce more food than all
the land can ever be made :to yield,
and one of the pauposes of the expedi-
tion will be to take an Inventory of
such food possibilities.._

HAPPY CHILDHOOD
IS 1 LITTER OF HEALTH
Little children quickly get out of
sorts but by prompt treatment they
can just as quickly be set right again!
Most of their troubles arise in the first
place from the stom'aoh and bowela;
that is why a good clearing out is the
first thing the dodtor prescribes. Moth-
ers, why not let Baby's Own Tablets
keep your children well? Unlike that
ill-senellin:g, rank tasting castor oil so
dreaded by meet children, the Tab-
lets are pleasant to take and their
action,. though thorough, is gentle and
causes no discomfort to either the
baby or the growing ohild. Baby's
Own Tablets are a never failing reme-
dy for relieving constipation and indi-
gestion; thus they break UT colds and
simple fevers, expel worms and make
the teething period painless.. The
Tablets are sold by medicine dealers
or by mail at 25 cents' a box from The
Dr. Williams? Medicine Co„ Brockville,

Ottavva Scouts' at Rideau Hall.
About 5100 Boy Scout's and Wolf Cubs
of the Ottawa District were recently
the guests-.of'tbe Chief Scout for. Caere
de, Lord Byng of Vimy; at. Rideau Ball..
All kinds of games were ,Indulged in
and there was a. genie of here and
houuds'anrl a snow bottle that will not
soon be forgotten. There was a heavy
run on the toboggan steles and despite
the fact that the ice .was sot -usenet
soft a considerable, amannt of skating
was indulged in. There Excellencies,
Lord and Lady Byng, anal the' members
of the vice -regal party chatted with
many of the Scouts and Cubs and a
Sew snaps of the gathering were taken
by Lady 'Byng. At five o'clock re-
freshments were served to all. ' Be-
fore the guests ilepamted three cheers

" _ Guard from Accident.
Canadian Scout Troops might very
well talco up the example -of the Lu-
zerne, Pa., Scouts, who actively aid
in protecting school children against
traffic accidents. Four times daily the
Scouts take up their work at <nowded
street crossings and assist the entailer
children safely across .the streets.
Galt Helps Preston to Start.
Last summer two boys frotn Preston
attended a Boy Shout camp which was
visited by a patrol of Scouts from the
lst Galt droop. Friendships were form-
ed between the boys of the two towns,
with the result that the Preston boys
later- joined the Galt Troop, and
brought with then enough other Pres-
ton boys to form the Buffalo Patrol.
They' made the five mile trip to and
from. Galt every week• -sometimes
twice a'week-'•-for troop meetings; In-
terest in Scouting developed in Pres-
ton, The older folks begin to see that
itw as a good thing, but both they and
Scoutmaster Wheeler at Galt realized
that the only solution to the problem
of providing Scouting opportunities for.
Preston boys .was to forst a Preston
Troop. Thiia has now been done, the
Buffalo Patrol forming the nucleus of
the new Troop. In a few days the let
Galt Troop will visit Preston in a body
and present to the Preston organize -
tion its new charter and to its, officers
their certificates of registration.
In this instance Galt Scouts have
done a splendid piece of "Scout ]mis-
sionary work"—let's hope a number of
other troops wild do likewise.
Brampton Organizes.
Beanlpton is a new name'whioh now
appears on the Boy Scout map of On-
tarto. The boys of the town have
wanted Scouting for a long time, but
Scout Headquarters could not permit
the formation of a Troop until adult
leadership and backing was available.
The boys finally appealed to the Opti-
mists' Club (a local business men's
club) to help them. The Optimists fell
right in line with the proposal, agreed
to back the boys to the limit, found
leadership amongst its own members,
and is now bard at work perfecting the
preliminary details re organization
and training of what will be a fine
troop—and later on possiblyy two
troops. Keep your eyes on Brampton.
Camping Time Is On the Way.
And Scouts are already thinking
about 'what they are going to do about
it 'when it <ioes arrive. Tents are be-
ing pulled out of winter storage, are
being inspected and repaired. Plans
are being made re cooking, instruction-
al and recreational programmes. Lead-
ers are arranging their holidays so as
to coincide with the dates their troops
plan to go to eainp. "Preparatory"
hikes and overnight camps are being
held. _. 1925 is going to be another
great out -door year!
Between Ourselves,
It is not -only true but Inevitable that
one half the world does not know how
the other halt lives. A much more per-
sonal consideration is that we have no
idea bow big our nearest neighbor's:
trouble may be. He may sdt opposite
to us at lunch, and we may think him
a cheery soul, and din conversation we
may tell him' just a few of the things
that worry us; If the truth were
known, the things that worry him may
be ten times as many and .a hundred
tines as. big!
We are all apt to be self-centred.
We all know men whose main topic of
conversation Is themselves. Their
own sorrows, their own needs, their
own business, their own hones, their
own possessions, their man interests:
these dominate their eonvorsation.
You are not like that, of coarse! But
always' try' to get an outside view of
yourself, for fear you approximate to
this pattern. Make a start, for In-
stance, at work, by getting to kbow
something abort the jays and sorrows,
the tristle and triumphs, of the people
with whom you work. You'll find It
stimulating and humanizing, both for
younselt and the other fellow.

2, Lasthig Infiueuce.---'lila value of
a pure -brad bull is not seen entirely in
the first generation, but continues in
Che' following generations.
, 8. Fewer Bulls Necessary. — One

do the work of four scrub bulls, as
they are managed at the present time..

bred stook in Ontario are sometimes
discouraged because of leek of demand
for their stock.
6. Affords Opportunity Gradually to
Work Into Pure-bred Business.—If
there is a pure-bred bull in the com-
niunity it is an eaey matter to pur-
chase one or two pare -bred cows and.
s'aon be le the pure-bred business.
7. Co-operation Possible, —If "there
are -as many as four or five pure-bred
brills inthe community there is an ex-
cellent opportunity- to co-operate by
exchaalging bulls, pooling cattle, etc,
8: Pue-bred Bull's Will Sell for More
Than Scrubs After Their Period oe
Usefuleesis is Over,—A 2,060 -pound
pure-bred buyl is worth more for beef
than a scrub which usually weighs
1200 to 1400 pounds, •
9. Prepotency Important. A pure-
bred bull will have calves more like
himself than the dam. This is due to
concentrated blood lines'.
10. Uniformity Increases Value—
Buyers tivill always pay more for a uni-
form bunch of cattle than for a mix-
ture of scrub and pure-breds.
11: Offspring is Worth More,—A
calf is worth $5 to $10 more, a yearling
916 to $20 mare and a two-year old $26
to $30, if sired by a pure-bred bull.
12. Beater Living.—Phe pure-bred
boll means more money which in turn
makes possible better hones', better
schools., better Churches, better roads
and a better and more satisfying coun-
try life.
13, Good influence on Owner.—When
a man has pure-bred livestock on his
firm he naturally tales more interest
in it a.nd feeds and cares for it better
than he otherwise would. -
