A Startling New Theory.

Again attention is called to those es-
sentially feminine habits of putting
pins in the mouth or moistening a pen
Gil with the lips. "A pin swallowed
means only a surgical case. but the
greater danger lies in the contagion
that may be lurking in the pin itself.
Under the head of the pin, or in the
point of the pencil all kinds of malig-
nant germs may be located, which will
be transmitted by the mouth quicker
than any other way. 1t hardly seems
possible that anyone needs TO be eau
toned against holding money between
their lips, yet a person can scarcely go
a block on a street car without noticing
some one indulging in the dangerous
habit.
