"In discussion between industry and consumer groups on the sub- ject of standards and labelling manufacturers continue to stress the point. you have made. Stand- ards and marking cost money.

Nungester writes that man's resistance to infection depends on many factors. Mechanical barriers aid in pre- venting tiny organisms getting in- to suscept. ” tissues and also in pr- .. an infection from spreading to othe tiuues; the cells forming the face or skin, the lining of the ach and in- testines, and the nose, throat, bronchial tubes. Barriers within the body, such as coverings of tendons and muscles and cov- erings of lungs, all prevent in a mechanical way the spread of in- fection from one part of the body to another. other powerful defences of the body against infection are the saliva in the mouth, tears in eyes, and urine in kidneys and bladder. The various body fluids such as the plasma of the blood and atom- ach digestive juice act. against certain parasites. The white w.,uscles of the blood (phagocytes or disease fight- ers) play a most important role in the defense of the body against organisms-yeast-like and vege- table-like organisms-and probably viruses (tiny organisms that can move through any wall). Added to these body factors are age, heredity. nutrition, fatigue, temperature. and certain diseases already present in the body-gen- erai factors that help to fight. 03 infection. What can we do to help the body ward off or make a. success- ful fight against disease? The first thought should be to get a thorough enmination by our physician and dentist. The body can put up a better light for us against infection off it is not hampered by lack of nourishing food and if itihas plenty of root to prevent fatigue, regular out- door exercisc to obtain more oxy- gen to keep circulation active and blood pure. regularity of bowel movement. and the use of com- mon sense t to avoid mingling with those already suf- fering with infection.
