A EMILJJTCHKE, GRAND RAPIDS Satisfaction Guaranteed ap ull Cases, + To Control Contagion in Camps. Thus far fhe cases of small pox which have beén reported this fall in the lumber camps of Minnesota can be counted on the digits on one hand, but Dr. H. M. Bracken, secretary and executiye officer of the Minne- sota state board of health does not intend to let the’ grass grow under his feet and is making most exten- sive preparations to stamp out any breaks of the disease. In this move- ment he has the hearty indorsement of practically every large logging concern in the state and nearly every one of the small companies. During the summer, some of the logging companies have torn down some of their old camp buildings and erected new ones that can be kept in a more sanitary condition. Others have been thoroughly disinfected and afterwards whitewashed. The lum- bermen seem to thoroughly under: stand the conditions surrounding the men and are seeking to keep them in a cleaner. condition than heretofore. They are also co-oper- ating with the state health depart- meut where a few years ago they looked upon that office as a meddler in other people’s affairs. During/the past few weeks the de- partment has sent out the following notice calling attention to the rules and regulations of the board to the pb jans througkout the northern part of the state for distribution Ubroughout the logging camps in their vicinity: “J, The owner, manageror foreman or other person ins charge of any lumber camp or other industry in which quire vaccination or evidence of previous small pox us a conditiun of empioyment, In connection with camps, works, or dwelling or convenient gronp@? camps or dwellings, coming under ‘these regulations, there should be constructed a building, or in lieu thereof double walled tent or tents should!te kept on band with floor or floors and with facilities for heating and ventilation for the accommodas tion of auy employe who may become sick; and should any disease of a contagious uature as defined by the publi¢ health laws, break out, the hospital building or tent must be located by the physician in charge of the patient iu a position satisfactory to any health officer authorized by the state board of health to inspect the cap or works. f ; All camps in which small pox has existed during the past year must be disinfected or quarantined until they have been thoroughly disinfected or burned, The same regulations shall apply to the contents of all such cams. ‘Lhe expense of disinfection shall be born by thé owner of the camp and the disinfectéf employed must be subject to the endorsement of the state board of health. 4 “4. As the state law of Minnesota provides that the expeuses of caring for persons infected with a contagious disease shail be born by the person infected if he is able, all employers shall withhold from such employes woo may Lecowe infected with a cun- tagious disease and tu whom a salary is due at the time of such infection, all mouey or wages due Lim until his discharge from the hospital or place of detention. Mouey or wages should be withheid from any eniployes with symplons until the diaguosis of ‘he disease has been determined by a physician.” While it isnot likely that these rules and regulatiuus will be rigidly enfurced by the state board, they will see that the spirit of them is kept. The lumbermen in the northern part of Michigan have adopted practically these same rules awong. themselves and are nob encountering apy grea difficulty iu getting men. It the companies in Miunesota stick to- gether it will be comparatively easy to enforce the rules, Iv will also be to their financial interests to take quick action when any cont gious disease break out in the camps tu have them recognized as early as possible so that they can be promptly removed to some isolation place, thus preventing a general spread of the disease and stopping a general demoralization in the camps aud the joss of time of laborers that would otherwise follow. Dr. Bracken has suggested that the logging companies employ a physician at some pvint near their camps to take care of all suspiciuvus cases. He ‘says that the expense incurred in this way and the cost of removing them might be met by the lumbermen and that without question it would be a good investment for them. v men are employed, shall re- |7 k woodsmen.* This could be done deducting a certain small percent- ze trom yhe men’s wages as is the f general custom in the mining “dis- Z ricts. The amount would be hardly nticeable and would at the same ‘time provide for the care of the sick }8 good manner. Lumbermen should Understand {hat wages should not be paid to men who are ill with a pos- ible contagious disease, for money in eir hands may be a source of in- ection to others. The lumbermen 4nd the sanitarians should be work- dng together to make au effort to con- brol the contagious diseases. Their interests are mutual.’ i The Danger of Closed Stoves. _ With the advent of winter comes the danger of closed stoves and the ‘consequent accidents, many of them fatal. "The recent death ofan eminent literary man in France from coal-gas poisoning through a defective stove has’ called out considerable medica; commeat, especially in the British ihedical journals. 1t appears that, a8 often happens, this accident has been followed by a numberof similar ones ju Great Britain and on the continent, and they are used to point a moral— the dangers of clused stoves as com- pared with open grates for house- heating, and self-congratulations in- || ulged in by our inswar contempor- ries that the latter method of heat- ing is the prevailing one among hem. Itis safe to admit, says the ournal of the American Medical as ioc ition, that the closed stove is not he ideal warmth-producer, but with continental cliniate, like our own, ith its extremes of cold, dependence ‘on open grates would be still worse. |§ At may be also that the arts of stove pnstruction and management are dyore advanced in this country than ‘in Gréat Britain, for accidents or uudden death from stove-gas are “ther rarely reported. When they As occur it is generally from careless- ‘ess or some special defect, 4nd we Telieve that altogether, with nearly jouble. the population, there are fewer deaths annually from this use than oecur in the British islands from bursing due to open rates. Anthracite cval is burned in Josed stoves over the whole North- western portion of the United States, aod jit is somewhat of a surprise to read in the Lancet that when thus used ‘it is prone to. be excessively dangerous.” Ifsg, the risk is Laken very lightly here, and it may be too lightly at. times, for there is a dauger, though generally a remote one. Many persons suffer, it 1s probable. in their general health” from gaseous emanation without fully the cause. The popular gas stoves and ranges have also their verils, as the Lancet points out, especially if through defect of the burners the combustion is incomplete. It is well that such facts should be known, and the death of M. Zola is a warning, that we in this country may also heed, though ouc expeeience teaches us that with proper care the danger is slighter than seems to be the case 5 abroad.—Duluth Herald.
