All Of the prisoners we're held for trial except

and the other bv Magistrate Olmsted in Jener-
son Market Magistrate Olmsted held that
the offender must be warned before no Is

Health Commissioner Cosby gave out a
statement Yesterday regarding the anti
splitting crusade Inthe statement he pointed
out that most Of the diseases Of the iespi-
ratory tract. including diphtheria, measles.
scarlet fever. pneumonia. tuberculosis in
fuenza, and probably all of the acute forms
OF bronchitis, are the result Of the action of
germs which are present in the secretions
Of that tract and through splitting In public

cause of this disease. II has been estimated
that one person in the active stage OF the
disease may spit not less than 5000, 600, 900
of these germs in tho course of tventy-tour
hours
Through the efforts Of the Department of
Health the death rate from tuberculosis
during the last fifteen or twenty wears has
decreased more than one-third. and II is the
desire Of the department 10 disseminate in
