Miss Jessie B. Shippey, one of the
members of the Ladies' Glee Club of
the state college, is young newspa-
per writer, and was a most delight
full caller at The Sentinel office this
afternoon. Miss Shippey holds the
position of society and college edi-
tor of that ably edited and newsy
Fort Collins paper, the Review (for-
merly the Democrat). and the many
interesting and brightly written So
ciety and college stories and notes
appearing in the Review indicate
that the young lady does her work
in most satisfactory manner. Miss
Shippey states that the glee club has
had a most prosperous two weeks
tour over the state. A crowded house
has greeted the young ladies at near
ly every point, and the organization
has made hit everywhere. There
has been a great demand for return
engagements for the club next sea-
SON and already the dates for the
tour of next year are nearly all TAX

How many people are there who
realize that tonsilitis is contagious? ?
How many of those who do realize
this fact are as careful as they could
be in preventing the spread of this
disease?
The home office of the New York
Life Insurance company, on Broad
way, in New York City. were closed
the other day and the 500 employees
sent home while the building was
fumigated by the health department
The cause of the precaution was an
epidemic of tonsilitis, which had
ragged on all nine floors occupied by
the offices of the company. The
number of persons afflicted with the
malady at one time reached 120. and
among those remaining at work
were many with throats so sore that
their owners could scarcely swallow.
The victims in many instances did
not suspect the real nature of their
illness. Some complained merely of
bad colds, and others of sore throats.
while a few feared they were afflict-
ed with diphtheria. Medical men
sent out by the company to examine
the patients found that all were suf-
fering from tonsilitis.
All colds" are more or less in
fectious. People herded in over
heated office buildings are subject,
no matter how robust their consti-
tutions, to lowered powers of resist
ance toward the end of their work
ing day. Any transmissible disease
gaining foothold in a modern build
ing is liable to spread like wildwire.
People living under modern con-
ditions must be protected by sani-
tary safeguards not thought of and
not necessary in earlier and cruder
times.-Pueblo Chieftain.
