} ?irt»j%cts ^^W HEALTH FILMS FOR PENNSYLVJ A M0NG the most important of the recently coAipleted ^tfbj^cts at" the "J. R. Bray studio are three short cartoons produced for the Pennsylvania Departr^ent of Public Health. These.are the first of a series which have been ordered by the department. One called Flies is built around the danger of the spread of disease through a manure pile. A gnome, which is introduced in all the cartoons to personify the spirit of the Board of Health, appears in Flies and asks a man standing near a pile of manure: "Do you know that 90 per cent of house flies are bred in the manure of stables?" The gnome then suggests to the man that they follow one of these flies, and the two trail the dreaded insect, observing as they go the points which make it such a disease- carrier. Another of the subjects is called Diphtheria and deals with the necessity of using anti-toxin, which neutralizes poisoning bacteria at the early stages of this disease. The third cartoon is called Prizefighting and is intended to show the strength and resistance to disease of nature-fed babies as compared to those raised on condensed milk and infant food. The scene is set on a prizefighting platform.
