Confusion and Infection,

The terms cOntagion and infection
are too often used promiscuously
though they are by no means synony-
nous. The dissemination of mycotic
diseases takes place in different ways.
There are those which cannot be com
municatcd from person to person, but
spread only by the microbic cause in
vading the individual To this class be-
long nalarinl fevers produced by spas
modia. There arc, secondly, those
which are not communicable from per-
son to person, but through external car
ricrs only, such rs soil, water. food,
air, clothing and utensils. To that class
belong yellow fever and Asiatic chol-
era. They are infectious. There are.
finally. those which may be transmitted
directly from person OF Indirectly
through carriers. To this class belong
scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria, var-
ola. influenza, erysipelas and varicclla,
perhaps also whooping cough. They
are contagious and infectious.

Counting Customs of Siam.

In Siam the lighting of cigar indi-
Gates a betrothal. In that country q
person wishing to become engaged to
the girl Of his choice offers her a flower
or takes a light from a cigar or olga
rette If she happens to have one in her
mouth, and thereupon, provided there
Is no impeachment, steps are at once TAX
en- to arrange for the payment of the
dowry. The families of the bride and
bridegroom have each to provide con-
siderable sum. In Calabria, as i'm
many parts Of India, lighted taper or
lighted pipe betokens the acceptance
OF the suitor for the hand Of a lady in
marriage. In Siberia 1t is the custom
that when sutton has been accepted
by a girl presents him with box
OF cigars and pair Of slippers MS a
sign that he is to be master In the
house.

NATURES HOUSE CLEANING.

Rainy Season In Caracas the City's
Sanitary Salvation.
Just what Caracas would do without
its rainy season l cannot imagine, for
the city is far from being clean and
sanitary. Garbage is thrown into the
yards for the vultures to feed upon
dust and papers accumulate in the
streets, ana the visitor is about to pro-
nounce the city the dirtiest he has ever
seen when nature suddenly decides to
put things 10 rights. An ordinary rain
fall would not suffice now. a thorough
flushing is needed, and nothing short
of delugc viii do it.
But somewhere up in the mountain
tops the deluge is forming, and pres
emily a great black vapor oveISpreads
the valley. Tt comes slowly at first,
as if to warn the people to go in
doors, but when it has acquired sufi
Gent density it falls. In moment a.
most the streets and courtyards are
flooded, the fantastic waterspOutS that
overhang the sidewalks pour out their
streams like gigantic kettle spouis, and
loud Is the noise Of the splashing and
splattering.
Half an hour later one tiptoes along
the shiny pavcmcnts, as if over new
ly scrubbed noor. Above him is 4 Sky
OF spotless blue, while the only clouds
to be seen are insignificant patches Of
white along the mountain sides. Yet
in an incredibly short space of time

The fact that there will be saving in
the item of interest of some hundreds
of dollars by the issue of the bonds does
not make great deal of difference be-
cause if it is the best plan to let the
matter go without being legally settled
at this time the county can easily afford
to pay tie price for what it wishes.
But is the matter going to be any better
by leaving it in the same condition in
which it now Is?
How are you going to punish the
present board-you who wish to do
that-and the past boards which have
been getting the county into debt or
watching it get into debt and simply
said nothing about it-how are you
going to punish them when their terms
are out with the same election at which
you propose to do the furnishing? And
is it fair to punish the incoming board
for the sins of omission and commission
of it's predecessors? Does it not, after
all, look like the sensible thing to
square away, clean up the old accounts,
and start the new board out with a
clean balance sheet and distinct
understanding that it will be expected
to keep 1T clean2 Is not that the only
fair thing, the only honest and honor
able thing to do anyway? And does it
not look like a sort of blind, unreason-
ing prejudice after all, to try to punish
the old boards by heaping up these
difficulties on the shoulders of the new
board which you are about to elect?

The County Bond Question.

The time for deciding the county
bonding question is not far away. The
outcome of the election however cannot
be told with any certainty. What is
certain is that there is strong opposi-
ton to the authorizing of the issue of
uses these last three words advisedly be-
cause IL is believed that there are many
voters who acknowledge that the obi
cations will have to be paid some day
and yet are determined to give the
present board a lesson which future
boards will remember and avoid the
necessity of having repeated for their
own benefit But is this the best
method to pursue, and is it worth
while?
To begin with it is not so much the
present board which will be en-
barrassed by the failure of this PROPOSE
tion at this time as is it the new board.
Place yourselves in the position in which
the newly elected members of the board
will find themselves if this proposition
fails to carry--a big deficit in the
treasury, with which the ordinary rim
ming expenses Of the county must be
faced, and in addition the Indebtedness
covered by notes bearing six per cent
interest, notes which if not legal obli-
cations on the part of the county are
nevertheless moral obligations in the
sense that the county has had the goods
which they procured the money for and
money was spent, cannot escape the
moral obligation of repaying the money
in the end. That will be the question
which the voters will decline to
shoulder themselves and will pass over
to the shoulders of the new supervisors
if they defeat the bonding proposition
at the approaching election. 1t seems
hardly fair proposition to shove this
question off on the shoulders of new
board which had nothing to do, with
appropriating and borrowing this extra
money, both for the court house and
for the running expenses Of the connty
over and above that which previous
boards Ind authorized to be raised for
such expenses.
The county has got into bad condi- |
ton financially. It is in debt when the |
mass OF the voters see no reason why it !
should be in such condition. But it is
not bankrupt by long ways. It can
pay up and start with n clean sheet 1
without feeling the burden to any great
degree. Then why try to punish the
members of the present board by
saddling all OF the debts, deficits, notes,
etc, which the present board hes seen
increase throughout it's term, upon a
new board which will have no authori-
iy legally to straighten out the matter?
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1906-03-23

Some steps should be taken by the
city authorities at once to rid the city
of numerous dogs. Many of them are
not claimed by any one and are a
nuisance to the entire community.
Destroy all which are not claimed and
compel owners of the others to provide
the dogs with muzzles The experience
OF Lansing with mad dogs should be
warning to the entire state. Prompt
action ought to be taken here for the
safety of the community.
The indications point to an unusually
heavy vote at the coming election
This being so it would seem as though
every republican in the county could be
enrolled and thus make certain that all
will have the opportunity to vote for
governor and lieutenant governor at the
June primary election. AT the same
time the question of nominating the
candidates for congressman, state sena
tor, representative and county officers
by the primary method will be voted
upon. If you wish to have voice in
making these nominations and settling
the future method of making nomina-
tions you must enroll on election day
Increased attention has been attract
ed to the approaching enrolment of
voters, Monday, April g. through
Governor Warmers action in sending
out 250, 900 enrolment blanks at his own
expense. These slips can be filled out by
the voters themselves and handed TO
the enrolment clerk with the least pos
sible loss of time. Attorney General
Bird has ruled that it will be the duty
of the enrolling clerk to receive this
blank from the voter, to see that all the
questions it provides for have been an
swered, and to complete the enrolment
in the order in which the blanks are re-
ceived. This enrolment is feature Of
the new primary law that will not need
to be repeated so long as the voter re-
mains in the election predict in which
he first enrolled. All further participa-
ton in the privileges of the primary
election law depends upon enrolment
I5 is the first and most important
feature and should not be neglected or
forgotten.
