Tongues have peculiar uses.
Some are to be lolled about in the
cheek to make the person look hid
eous, others to rattle like loose
spoke in buggy and still others to
lash about and utter thoughts that
cut like whip lashes. The latter
kind is the one we mean now. One
of our best farmer citizens has
been maligned by some unthinking
or perhaps thinking person, saying
he run accounts that made him
ashamed to meet the merchants.
Great Scott! IF every body paid as
well as he does, merchants would
all wear smiles and would be able
to pay cash for all they get and re-
ceive the DISCOUNTS. If we had
more such men as he is, the world
would move on better and these
maligners would stink off into some
dark corner and hate themselves to
death,

THE DUST DEVIL.

minent physician of Yazoo City

per, the Sentinel, timely and in
teresting communication. one mol
which only concerns his city, but
Bay st. Louis and every Other
municipality as we'll. He says:
III read with interest your edito.
rial in last weeks issue of the
Sentinel in reference to sprinkline
our streets. This IS a very impor-
tant subject, and when / think OF
the economy and comfort in being
rid of the dust, can only wonder
why we should year after year
quietly submit to such nuisance.
| say economy, for / believe the
damage to the goods in our stores
and the damage to our houses and
our household effects would GER
tainly to q large extent offset the
expense of having our streets
sprinkled.
"However that may be, there
is another argument that is, with
in itself alone, strong enough to
justify the expense of sprinkling
and that argument is, the improve
ment in the health of the COM
munity.
"The microscope demonstrates
beyond all doubt that the dust of
streets and public highways espe-
clally is the means by which many
disease germs enter the human
system. chief among those being
the bacillus tuberculosis - the
germ of consumption, and when
we remember that consumption
causes one death out of every
eight adults, we can realize that
any measure that has q tendency
to the reduction of this fearful
mortality rate, is as important a
subject as could possibly be
brought to the attention Of the
human race. When we also re-
member that our greatest danger
Of being infected BY this horrible
disease comes through breathing
dust containing the dread sputum
of consumptiye people, we can
appreciate the fact thatsprinkling
the streets as Q sanitary measure
is OF inestimable value.
Consumption is not the only
disease found in dust. We find
diptheria, scarlet fever, and germs
that produce loekjaw, In fact
there are many others, and | SIM
ply speak of consumption because
it is more common and most dan
geroqs,
'.We are all we'll acquainted
with the injury done our eyes,
nose, throat and lungs by dust
acting simply as a mechanical irri-
tant, and If the public also knew
of the many disease germs they
are constantly inhaling, | am sure
this great prophylactic measure
would soon be in force. Our city
pays Q sanitary inspector to see
that our back yards are kept
clean with the hope of preventing
disease from entering our back
doors, but at the same time our
front doors are wide open and di-
sease rides in on dust without a

promoting the health of any COM
mnnity 10 m oney well spent. The
city now owns the waterworks,
and do not believe there would
be much trouble in arranging some
plan to place in force this great
sanitary measure.

protect our goods and our homes
from damage by dust, and most
important of all, it will improve
our health. Let US have our
