Health officials in some cities are
opposing this new fad of rummage
sales as unsanitary and dangerous to
health. Contagious diseases are
often disseminated in this way.
Scarlet fever, diptheria and smallpox

old rags because they are offered at
a rummage sale is one of those

that other candidates are harmless or i'm

been effectively used by the Fletcher or

found for it in comparison Of the meet

sentimental tribute to good fellow. II

Such exhibits cannot be made unless the
general interest and support warrants the
expenditure. To say nothing Of the time
and efforts given SO freely by those who
have these exhibitions in hand, the actual
cost is large. Nothing is paid for the pic
lures, but the transportation and insur-
ance are expensive, the boxing and hand
ling must be carefully done, all this costs.
The last two exhibitions have each left a
deficit Of some 5000 to be paid by those
who generously guaranteed the expense.

should make us each and all resolve tc
arouse such an interest in this exhibition
that It's educational benefit and its fnan.
