GOOD HOUSEKEEPING conserves space, time and material, in addition to preventing accidents and fires.

The suit is made with cloth that has been dyed a bright cherry red with dark red splotches. Conventional camouflage material is green and brown. Field tests of the new fabric resulted in a report from one hunter that three deer came as close as 20 feet to him but none was alarmed bv his presence.

Tetanus germs often are found in and about stables and farmyards, and in garden soil treated with animal manure, because the intestines of grass-eating animals harbor the germs. Once the germs enter the body through a wound, they "hatch" into tiny microscopic bacteria which begin to multiply. In the process, they liberate one of the deadliest of all poisons. These poisons attack the nerve centers, causing convulsions and muscle spasms. Some of the convulsions are so severe that victims have been known to fracture a vertebra. Usually the first nerves affected are those of the head and neck which control the chewing muscles. These become rigid, giving tetanus its familiar name ? lockjaw. The American Medical Association is seriously concerned over the large number of our population susceptible to tetanus. Unless each unprotected individual takes caution against this preventable danger. the tragedy of tetanus will continue to thrive. <1 Hirthduy ~ ~ ?v ; , oom men honored Murray Adams clober Sth.
