UNDOING OF MR.. ANGLOSIDE.
A Humorous Incident of City street
Car Travel, with a Good
Moral.

Cholly Angloside daintily turned u:
his trousers before entering State
street car. Cholly was unfortunate in
that pecuniary difficulties compelled
him to mlngle with the common herd,
don't you know" Close behind him fol.
lowed a humble and inferior associate
and as there was just seating room fol-
two, the men were quick to appropriate
it. The car filed rapidly, members OF
the laboring world predominating
much TO Angloside's disgust. Near
Twelfth street a work-stained woman
entered, carrying huge basket OF
clothes, and finding every seat taken
she joined the crowd in the middle oi
the car. Each time the door was opened
by new passenger the woman emitted
a hacking cough, and it was plain to
see that the basket in her tired arms
grew heavier with each jolt of the
car. Mr. Angloside's inferior associate.
was growing uneasy at the sight, and
finally the man in him overcame the
imitation of Anglo-canine, and, rising
he courteously offered the woman .
seat.
A bright-cyed girl, watching the pro.
cedure, enthusiastically followed the
example; she, too, arose, and lifting the
womans heavy basket placed it on
the seat she had vacated. The little
drama was presently interrupted ~
the entrance of a stunningly we'll
gowned woman, who swept into the
car, and adjusting her veil, stopped jus-
in front cf Cholly. Having suffered
considerably from "nympholepsy"
Cholly considered this a new. proof OF
his charms. and instantly jumping mp
he made the lady Il low bow and begged
her to accept his seat.
Every kind, sir" she answered with
a sweet southern accent. and, languid-
~ removing her veil. Cholly was con-
fronted with shining ebony and most
African physiognomy. The general
laugh which followed did not sootho
the fractured feelings of Mr.. Angloside.

Public Health in Indiana During the
Month Of Jnne, 1899.

Reports TO the State Board Of
Health snow that compared with
May, there was decrease in area of
prevalence of the following dis
eases: diptheria, Group, influenza,
pneumonia, measles, bronchitis and
tonslitis. These are called "house
diseases because they are princi-
pally induced by bad ventilation.
When warm weather comes, such
diseases decrease, because people
seek the open air.
The diseases which increased in
area of prevalence were: diarho
typhoid fever, cholera morbus,
dysentery and cholera infantum.
These last are diseases which are
simply plain poisoning. When
summer comes, moulds, ferments
and putrefactlve organisms find
their way into our food, grow and
flourish and produce poisons, which
poisons cause cholera infantum,
dysentery, diarrhoea, cholera NOR
bus, etc.
A proper care and preparation of
food would eliminate 80 per cent. of
these diseases. 1t is not difficult to
prevent cholera infantum, which
will kill hundreds of infants this
summer. A circular telling how
this may be done will be mailed
free to all applicants. Address
