The persistence of the cholera in
Southern Europe and its failure for SO
long time to spread to the north seems
to confirm the opinion of sanitarians That
there had been so much Improvement in
the sanitary condition of the northern
cities within the last score of years that
cholera would never again ravage them as
in the olden time. If that should prove
to be true great impulse will be given
to sanitary work, not only as a protection
o Iainst cholera, but against the spread of
other diseases.

his attention to his business, he won't
wear poorly laundried shirt, he won't
go to see his girl until he has oiled his

he won't leave his girl At night until he
hears the step of her exasperated father
on the stairs, he won't believe his girl is
anything but an angel for he never saw
her hanging out the washing with six
