Capt. Thomas c. Ross, who was one of
the oldest steamboat men in active service
on the Potomac river and well known as
comma nder of the Mt. Vernon and Marshall

Company and commanded among other
steamers the Arrowsmith on the Potomac
river route. When the Wakefield was built

Indianapolis, May 10.-"There is
much danger of spreading disease by
means of bread labels said DR.. T.
Victor Keene of the State Laboratory
of Hygiene yesterday. The labels do
not contain poison in themselves, but
If they are licked by employees who
have blood diseases the germs may Be
transmitted to the labels and to the
people who use the bread"
There has been much discussion
lately concerning bread labels. In
Chicago there is an ordinance against
using them, and baking companies are
liable to fine for pasting paper on the
loaVes. Other cities, realizing the
danger of transmitting disease, have
passed similar ordinances. In some
instances the labels are put on the
bread before it is baked, and there is
some chance them for the heat of the
oven to kill any germs. Since this
almost destroys the label many manu-
features wait until the bread has been
baked then put on the labels by
hand
