Miss NJ. Cora Bland, NJ. d. delivered, last
evening, the third of the series of lectures pro-
jected by the Woman's National Health Asso.
citation, Her subject was Disease Germs"
and she handled it in a very scientific and in
shuctive manner quoting from Tyndall, Beall,
Lister, and other distinguished authorities to
sustain the proposition that all forms of disease
result from living germs that float in the at
mospherc, and, when received into the system,
increase by propagation, and produce inAam-
nation, fever, or putrelaction. She claimed
that the discovery of the germ theory solves
the problem of disease and that henceiorth the
highest Office of the physician is to teach the
people how to purify the air and thus prevent
disease She closed with beautiful tribute to

While tho subject of improvements in East
Washington is under discussion we would like
to call attention to our school buildings, which
are in such miserable condition that our
chldrens health is endangered by low, damp
buildings, bad ventilation, and crowded rooms
Since we have entire confidence in the good
will and interest Of our legislators we expect
the needed improvements will be made. The
building on the corner of Seventh and North
streets is very dilapidated Miss Ida Lord,
the teacher is solicitors for the health of her
pupils, aud, Is many Of tn EN- have been sick
from the causes named, we hope change will
be made as soon us possible. b, b,
