a DOCTORS POINT OF VIEW.
Phy~ician Says the Carpet Il the Most
Unsanitary Thing In the
Modern Home.

"When the American housewife be-
comes thoroughly educated in domes-
tic sanitation she will never have a
carpet in her home," remarked a De-
troit doctor, who has made deep
study Of the germ theory, according to
the Free Press.
"'WhyY Simply because it is the
most unsanitary thing in the house.
No matter how careful the inmates
may be in the matter of cleaning their
shoes before entering the house-un-
less they were to adopt the oriental
practice of taking them off and leav-
ing them .outside-tbey are bound to
carry in some dirt from the street.
This dirt settles in the carpets, and
when sweeping day comes It is stirred
up and the air of the room becomes
filed with it. 1t may not always be
impure, but as nearly all of it comes
from the street the chances are that it
it, and when the sweeper, or whoever
passes through the room during the
sweeping process, inhales it whatever
dangers may lurk in it pass into the
lungs and perform their work of mis-
chief. If you want to test this theory
go yourself into carpeted room that
has just been swept and notice how
quickly You can become choked with
the dusS that is in the air.
"What would | substitute for car
pets? Rings. And not large, heavy
rugs, either, but small and light ones
that may easily be lifted up and
taken out doors for cleaning. Rugs,
however cheap, on hard wood floors
are better than the most expensive
carpet you can buy, if you have re-
gard for your health. They should
be cleaned frequently, too, and all
ways out doors.
If this simple method we're uni-
versally adopted you may be sure
thai We doctors would in time have
fewer patients to take care of. and
this fact should give you sufficient
evidence that my suggestion is not
made for selfish purpose"

More than 2,0OO, 900 haseballs were
used up in this country during last
season, and 1000 or more women win
be kept busy all winter making 2,0O0,-
600 more for next season. A member
of one Of the largest sporting goods
firms in this country said the other
day:
II should put 1000, 600 as conserva-
tive number. They include all grades.
Fully one half were Of the cheapest
kind-the retail scent ball. There is
not much money in that, as You can
see, when these balls have to be sold
2H cents apiece. From that low price
there is gradually ascending scale
in price and quality, running through
the 10, Is, 25, so and rs cent lines up
to 81 and $125, the latter being the
price for the official league ball.
This is the standard ball for use in
all National and American league
games and number of minor leagues,
including the intercollegiate. tt
therefore, has an extensive sale.
should say that $50, 900 of the more ex-
pensive balls are sold. That viii con-
yey some idea of the number of league
and association games that are played
all over the country. The demand for
base balls is always steady one, and
does not fluctuate to any appreciable
extent"
The mnufacture of baseballs does
not give employment to so large az
number of persons as might be sup
posed, says the New York Times.
About 1000 persons. mostly in New
York. make the entire supply. Wo-
men take hundreds of these balls to
their homes and sew them, particular
" the cheaper varieties. The sewing
Of the more expensive league balls is,
more scientific matter, and is done
only by veteran baseball stitchers.
New York, Philadelphia and Massas
rhusetts are the chief places Of base
ball manufacture.
