the apparently, harmless act of bor-
rowing lead pencil is recognized by
the medical faculty as prolific means
Of propagating disease. Many people
still cling to the time-honored practice
of moistening the writing end of the
pencil in the mouth before they proceed
to write.
The practice of borrowing pencils Is
now believed to be responsible for
many cases of diphtheria and tonsilitis
which could not be otherwise accounted
for. Physicians have, therefore, begun
to warn their patients against putting
the points of lead pencils in their
mouths before they write.
The practice Of swapping" and bor-
rowing lead pencils is more common
among children than adults. The spirit
of camaraderie which makes pupils
grow 'chummy" and social in the pub
lie schools sometimes causes lead pen
ellis to become common property among
groups of school children. A child who

might, therefore, be the innocent means

give their attention to the cause and
prevention of diseases more than ever

Regarding the habit of moistenlnp the
lead pencil before writing, the super
intendent of large pencil factory said
yesterday:
