There is no room for doubt, as urged
by the author of the anti spitting ordi-
nance, that disease germs are spread
broadcast thru the habit of expec-
|toration. This Is true not only of the
germs of the grip and pneumonia, but
also of diphtheria. scarlet fever and
notably of consumption. More people
die of consumption in this country
every year than from any other single
cause. Indeed statistics are not want
ling to show that this dread disease
causes nearly if not quite one-half as
many deaths as all other diseases COM
bined. 1t is the great white plague
|of modern times. Young adults are its
|favorite victims. Just as the boy or girl
is budding into manhood or woman
hood. with bright prospects of happy
and useful lives it faStens itself upon
them with relentless grasp and slowly
but surely saps their vitality until they
sink into early graves mere shadows of
their former selves The germs that
cause such ravages are contained IN the
sputa brought UP from the lungs. When

upon the floors of any theater, hall. as
sembly room or pubic building it ia
only a question of snort time until the

persons already suffering from it and
certain other infectious disea sesi is most
IMPORTANT Not only should the sputa
not be deposited in public places, but it
should be promptly burned or subjected
to the action of powerful gerlnicides.
and thus rendered incapable of further
harm BY such means only can the
dread scouree of consumption be
brought under control and finally
stamped out of existence.

there are as many applications for mem
bership as there are members at present,

be represented in this debating league.

training in debate, is the great local in
terest aroused in each city, and the con-
seQuent increase of enthusiasm on the
part of citizens for the work being done
in the schools. The mere idea Of victory
is being kept in the background as far
a.. possible and the educational In
portance of the work being emphasized.
