HINTS FOR THE HOME.
FACl'S AB OUT RIN<l;WORM.
1tingwo~m is a ...crJ common· disease, but
the WOI"d is n misnomer, writes Ii doctor, sinco
th ere is not .always tp_e shope of a ring nor is
t.bo.re any worm. It 1S caused by a fungus or
mould vegetable growth in the follicle, or lust
above the mouUl whet'e it attacks the hair
shalt. breaking it 01I nnd leaving stumps 00currJ.n~ in pa.t.ches of varying flize aDd s hape.
Sometimes tho epidermis ' grows Oler three
stumps, giving an appearnnce of " goose
fiesh." It occurs entirely! in childre n between
(our and twelve, disappearing ot th e, latter
age ev.cn if untreated. It is extremely con·
tagious, ~n ep idemic, And CIl6eS sbould be
l601atl8d at ODce. I t may be COmInUDlcpted by
combs, brushes, hats, or loose ha.ir alighting on the be~thy head , Infection dev elops
upidly in two to five days . Ii is extremely
hard to Cl1re because of' the difficulty in
reaching the fun gue ' growth by disinfecting
o.ppncaiion or irritanLs. The hair should be
cut short and the patc.h es scrubbed daily
with an a.ti"l'tie soap. X·rays properly ad·
ministered give good results, ki1ting the
fun gus aud hnir, hut new hrHr comes in three
or four months. For loclll applications strong
drugs are :recotnmcndql, but slwuld be used
under the direct.ion of a physicia n, 80S they
might pOssibly. destr,oy the hair · a.ppendage
and c~use permancnt boldness. . '

a p.iopeer after·mre committee taking up so
the consideration of fann colonies as an e..;enm"
part of tho provision i~r the t~tment of
culosis, "
I In almost all the 1'i\'ports of Care Committeeo
the sta.tc.ment with regard to the employment of
patients is simila.r to that 01 the, Birmingham.
Care Committee, which is as follows: .. By far
t.be most diffirult work which the Comm\t,tee havo
had to faoo i. that connected with the employ.
ment: of patients after .lea.ving sanatorium. '1 The
Birmingham Committee ha.ve directed special at·
tention to (a.) obtaining suito.ble work for patients
capable nr warking. where their employment be·
fore going to sana.torium was reported to bo un·
healthy; (b) a.pproaching &niployers with a. vicw
to allowing workpeople time t6 attend t~e centre
for out-patient tre3.tm~nt, In regard to the second
of the50 point.s in Reading there h~ not (says Dr.
Minkler ), sol far M I Imovl , hoen any difficulty to
workpeoplo in at.tending at the dlspenaa.ry in con·
sequence of an evening session being hel~ once a.
week, but in reference to tho first cla.use it is of
int,erest to know tho mea-ns adopted for providing
more suit.a.ble employment..
Tho Binningba.m Parks Committee ,were pre.
pared ui fJOme suIta.ble CQ.SCS to provide te;mpcteary'
Quinton Nurseries fot _ ~ males who had undergono specia.l trea.tment., and sub·committees ha.ve
been appoin~d to pro\~d' . • uitable employment
'}Vbere necessary.
I "Whilst. ongnged upon the examina.t ion of tbe ·re·
ports of Care . Committees 'from various quarters,
it has occurred,to me that if a. yea.r·book were pub·
li she~ setting out , in some, deta.il the methocte
adoptbd by Committees of this kind aU over tho
oountry and the a.mount of success which a.ttended
their efforts. ~it would be valua.ble as a: work of
reference a.nd &ford unmlstakable evidence o~ tho
usefuL character of the work which i~ in progress

year fou whicl;1 re~urnB are at present availa.ble)
nearly 54,000 persons .met ~their dea.th.
In conclusion I Dr. Minkley says: U I ha.ve to
gr.a.tefully acknowledge ' the alSistance of .w.lI!.S
