Disease IL spread.
II would seem that people will never
learn To- be careful. The recent alarm.
ing spread of that dire epidemic,
smallpox, throughout different Sec
tions OF the country has been traced
by physicians and sanitarians in many
instances directly TO the moldy and
ro,ting layers Of paper and paste
which cover the walls of many houses.
The practice Of laying layer after
layer OF paper on a wall. using com.
mon -four paste. Is especially calcu.
lated to create homes for disease
germs. People could not do more TO
effect such result IL they tried. Tho
rotting vegetable matter affords caves
from which arc ready to dart forth

There is no excuse for this practice,
rs walls and ceilings can be coated
with n pure. clcanly and sanitary ma.
