YOUR HEALTH BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy- geia, the Health Magazine About 1870 much attention was given to the sufferings of makers of matches, particularly the so-called “lucifeb-match” in which white phosphorus was employed. Since that time laws have been passed in practically all ‘civilized countries prohibiting the use of this substance, and in 1906 French chemists developed a form of phosphorus which was without danger. . As lates as 1923, however, in Question—How much calclum ts there in checse? Answer—Milk is one of the most abundant sources of cal- ctum. Sour milk cheese, such as cottage cheese, contains less cal- cium than rennct cheese, such as Swiss cheese. Swiss cheese has 14 times as much calcium as cottage cheese. manufacture was still go- ing on with the old process and there were at that time at least 28 match factories in China in ich workers suffercd from the Jaw with phosphorus poisoning, and called by the work- ers “phossy-jaw.” In 1925 China the use of this dangerous matcrial. Cases in America In the meantime, however, cases of a similar type have ap- peared in the United States due to the use of radium salts in the painting of ‘luminous watch dials. In one factory cases of degener- ation of the jawbone occurred be- cause the workers used a lumi- nous paint made visible by activa- n with 20 per cent vadium and | 80 per cent mesothorium. In painting the numerals on the the girls were in the habit of pointing the camel hair brushes with their lips. In every chse in which degeneration of the jawbone had occurred, the girls occupation for three years or more. The regular absorption of ra- dium into the body over long pe- riods of time also results in changes in the blood and in gen- eral symptoms. Blood Tests In his consiieration on trial poisons before the tional Conference on Accidents and Occupations, Thomas Oliver emphasized partic- ularly the importance of constant | study of the hazard involved in any new industry.

To see whether she “bore any scars,” Earl Carroll, Broad- way revue producer, is alleged to have demanded that Ann Moss Gaynor, show girl pictured here, pose before him as beauty un- ‘ndorned when she applied for a place in one of -his choruses, ‘She refused, and—she didn’t get the job. At least, that's what Ann told the United States district attorney and the Actors’ Equity, both of whom are investigating her charges. The girl was returning to Ham- burg after being permitted to stay in the United States for six months as a visitor.
