Proper Swimming
Pool Sanitation Is Of
Prime Importance
(By Dr. Morris Fishbein)
Before you go swimming, in a
pool or at a bathing beach, this sum
mer, especially where many others
use the same facilities, you should
see that proper sanitation exists.
This is a vital factor in maintaining
your health and the health of your
children.
To keep public pools clean and
free from infection, certain rules
usually are enforced, and it is im
portant that those who use these
pools abide by the rules.
Swimming is one of the most en
joyable and healthful sports. Under
proper conditions, it is stimulating
and agreeable. However, under im
proper conditions it may develop in-
to a real menace.
Many swimmers doubt the safety
of added chlorine or copper sulphate
which are necessary for destroying
germs or molds of various kinds.
Occasionally if the chemicals have
not been properly mixed with the
water, an excess may slightly irri
tate the eyes and nose.
However, this seldom is suffici
ently irritating to produce permant
trouble of any kind.
* * • *
Swimming is not a healthful ex
ercise for sick people. It is strenu
ous, so that those who suffer from
heart disease or disabilities of any
organs should not undertake swim
ming without proper medical con
sultation.
The disease most commonly
spread through swimming pools are
those affecting the skin and the
nose and throat.
To avoid skin diseases, the body
should be washed thoroughly in a
shower bath with soap before the
swimmer enters the water. The
bathing suit should not be on at
the time. To walk through a shower
with a bathing suit on is no help
to the elimination of skin diseases.
The bathing suit should be
thorouhgly washed and sterilized
after each time that it is used. Boil
ing and hanging the suit in the sun
light to dry will accomplish the pur
pose.
The person with a severe cold
spreads his infection more no doubt
by contact with other people in the
water than through the water that
is used. Regardless of the method
however, any person with a cough or
a cold should stay out of the public
swimming pools. He should also
atay away from crowds generally.
Standing around in a wet bath
ing suit interferes with the temper
ature of the body and encourages in
fection. Diving spreads infection
by passing contaminated material
through the nose and throat and in
to the ears.
All public swimming pools should
be provided with means for filtering
■water that is to be recirculated and
for proper disinfection of water
with chlorine and copper sulphate.
Clean water should be added regu
larly, to the amount of 1,000 gallons
for every 20 bathers who use the
pool.
Finally, people who w’ant to dive
should first learn the technique, in
cluding proper breathing. When
swimmer jumps in feet first, he gets
a nose full of water and usually has
•n insufficient amount of breath, so
that he promptly inhales the water
into his nose and ears.
In fact, it frequently gets into
the sinuses and set up chronic irri
tation.
TELLING THE TRUTH
lowa publishers have devised the
following supplementary provisions
of the code, which we hope General
-Johnson will hurry up and approve.
Their adoption will mean millions to
us small town publishers:
For telling the public that a man
is a successful citizen when every
body knows he is as lazy as a gov
ernment mule—s 2-70.
Referring to a deceased citizen as
one who is mourned by the entire
community when we know that he
will only be missed by the poker
circle —$10.13.
Referring so some gallivanting
scandal monger female as an estima
ble lady when every business man
in town would rather see the devil
coming—sß.lo.
Sending a hypocritical old repro
bate to heaven, when we know that
hell is too good for him—ss.oo.
Referring to deceased merchants
as “progressive citizens,” when they
never advertised in their life to help
draw trade to town—sl.oo.

A TRIBUTE TO THE DOCTOR
Edgar Guest, perhaps our most
popular living poet, wrote a very
good tribute to the doctor, and we
reproduce it below. Some people
may not have the proper appreci
ation of the “family physician,”
the doctor, but many folks do. Doc
tors are human beings, very human
in the matter of eating and wearing,
and they appreciate bouquets, and so
we shall all be glad to wear this one
which Guest pins on our lapel:
The Doctor
Who comes when we are in distress?
The doctor.
Who hears our call and answers
“Yes?”
Who four and twenty hours a day
Is never sure of rest or play
And cannot put his work away?
The doctor.
Who asks no shelter from the rain?
The doctor.
Who braves all storms to comfort
pain?
The doctor.
Who in the banquet hall will rise
And all its pleasures sacrifice,
Because somewhere a baby cries?
The doctor.
Who knows no bedtime fixed and
sure?
The doctor.
Who all our worries must endure?
The doctor.
Who must his every nerve command
In times of greatest peril, and
Work with a calm and steady hand?
The doctor.
Who to the poor the friend will play?
The doctor.
Who sometimes never gets his pay?
The doctor.
Who, having skill and growing wise
Must to great profits shut his eyes
And neither boast nor advise?
The doctor.
Who most deserves man’s gratitude?
The doctor.
Who is it prayers should oft include?
The doctor.
Who all through life is standing by
From birth and that first happy cry
unto the last, when death is nigh?
The doctor.
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
One ship drives East and another
drives West
With the self-same winds that blow’
’Tis the set of the sails and not
the gales
Which tells us the way they go.
Lke the waves of the sea are the
waves of fate,
As we journey along through life—
’Tis the set of the soul that decides
the goal,
And not the calm or the strife.

BOND WARNING GIVEN
TO COTTON GINNERS
Georgia cotton ginners must post
a bond with the internal revenue de
partment before they begin to gin
this year's crop, W. E. Page, intern
al revenue collector, said Saturday.
Failure to do so makes the ginner
liable to a SIO,OOO fine or imprison
ment.
This action was taken because un
der the terms of the Bankhead cot
ton-control measure, the ginner will
handle the tagging of the new’ crop,
and so becomes a government repre
sentative. Ginners must make month
ly returns and keep such records
as are prescribed on forms available
at the collector’s office.
GUESTS
o
Did you ever stop to think that people read newspa
pers because they want them? The newspaper is not
forced on anyone. People pay for it and pay for it regu
larly. Whole families await it eagerly and quarrel good
naturedly over their individual turns to read it. Each
praises and criticizes it as one is prone to criticize the oth
er members of the family. The newspaper is a definite
part of the family. That is why its sales force is im
measurable. Door to door salesmen use all kinds of in
genious devices to get inside the home. But the news
paper is a welcome guest. One type of selling is forced,
the other type is received cordially. Door to door hand
bills are an instrusion upon the privacy of the home, but
the newspaper is invited in. Its messages are read a
vidly and its advertisements are considered a part of
these messages. The newspaper is so definitely a part
of the people, so much an accepted member of the family
that its pages constitute the finest advertising medium
yet devised.—G. B. Williams, editor, Dunkirk (N. Y.)
