morning an application was made to the
Supreme Court for an injunction to re-
strain the Southwestern Pennsylvania

passing on the car shop property Of the

UNHEALTHY CITIRs.-The death rate Of
o large city islnot always q criterion of its
unhealthiness. But when the rate in one
town falls far below that many other OF
the same population, there must be some
marked reason for it. And this will gen.
orally bo found in q want oi cleanliness,
deficient elimination OF sewerage and the
carelessness OF those in authority. No
epidemic can stand clean houses, pure
water and fresh air and proper personal
habits. The epidemics which ragged during
the Middle Ages in Europe were directly
traceable to dirt; dirt in the dwellings and
around them; dirt on the person-for q
thousand years 1t ia said that there was
not q man or woman in Europe who took
bath-dirt everywhere. Then hespot.
ted plague, the black death, the sweating
sickness and the terrible mental phrensies
which followed in their train-the dane
ing mania, the mewing mania and the Bit
ing msnia-attacked their thousands.
Even now, in Great Britain alone, accord
ing to Dr. Playiair, there are yearly over
four million cases ot preventable diseases.
