Dirty Money.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In our efforts to restrict the spread OF
disease by urging cleanliness in the eat
Ing houses the importance of money as
distributor of disease should not be over
looked. In the greater number of lunch
rooms the same hands that receive the
money and make change also serve the
food to the customers. The money goes
from the filthy pockets of unclean and
diseased persons into the hands of the
person who makes up the sandwiches and
handles the rolls and other articles of
food. 1t would, Of course, be q hardship
for the small caterer to employ a cashier
to handle the money exclusively. But
conscientious person could thoroughly
cleanse the hands in preparing the food
for the customer. wrapping sandwiches.
ETC., in tissue paper. as is now done in
few places, and then using an imple-
ment on the principle of sugar tongs"
but having fattened blade on one leg.
with which pie and other articles could be
served without contamination. Butchers.
grocers, confectioners and all dealers in
food should be required to protect the
food from money contamination.
Let me add a word to men who carry
the same old pocketbook year after year,
moistened by perspiration. moldy and
reeking with disease germs from the
money carried. Always carry money in
the same pocket and never put into that
pocket your penknife. toothpick or hand
kerchief Turn that pocket out OCCASION
ally and wash it and iron it dry with
very hot f1atiron. And as to an old pock
etbook. the safest treatment is destruc-
ton by fire. Throw 1t In the furnace.
Do not put it in the waste barrel for the
scavenger to pick out and use. But why
not sterilize the money itself? In the cit
les nearly all money in circulation is
continually going into and out of the
banks, and each days receipts at the
close of business might very easily be
sterilized. Such a course would remove
almost entirely the danger of infection
from handling money.

WORK FOR CAMP GOOD WILL
PARTY OF LITTLE FOLKS AR
RANGES TO RAISE MONEY.
Start With Sale of Pin-Wheels and
Then Give Ice Cream
Festival.

Deciding that they might add their mite.
for the small pleasures of the poor chill
dren of the city who have been given the
opportunity to leave Washington for a
while during the excessive heat of mid
summer and enjoy Camp Good Will, seven
five to twelve years banded together last
as they were able and turn it over to the
custodians of the fund.
They first decided to manufacture pin
wheels and dispose of them to neighbors
in the vicinity of 9Th and A streets south
east. The trade in pin-wheels was fairly
prosperous, but the net proceeds, amount
ing to several dollars, did not seem to
satisfy the little tradesmen, so they finally
determined to hold an ice cream festival
and advertise 1t far and near-for several
blocks in all four directions of their
fathers what to do. and the final outcome
was the spending of the pin-wheel pro-
ceeds for the festival supplies.
Give Ice Cream Festival.
The festival began last Monday night
and continued for two days on the front
lawn of the home of Mrs. A. c. Wilson,
80 9Th street southeast, under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Mamie Curry
The children acted as attendants and sold
ice cream. cakes and candies. The two
days festival resulted in a net profit of
$3.50, which the children presented to the
custodians of the Camp Good Will fund
yesterday afternoon.
The little people who originated the
idea and carried 1t into effect were Es-
ther Curry. twelve years old: Mary Mac
farland, ten years: Anna Meehan, ten
years; Arthur Black, eleven years; Carl
Curry, ten years; Morton Galloway. nine
years, and Clarence Curry, five years.

QUEBEC, July 25.-On the Plains Of
Abraham. where French, English and
Americans have fought against one
another for Quebec and the mastery Of
Canada, the soldiers Of the same three
nations marched yesterday in fraternal
lines past the Prince of Wales.
The tricolor of France waved over the
death field of Montcalm The Stars and

that Montgomery stormed in vain for
the Continental Congress. The red flag
of Britain followed the line of Wolfe's

Lord Roberts. commander-in-chief Of
the British army. Behind them were
generals and colonies by the score.
In the stand were Vice President Fair
banks. NJ. Herbette, representing France;
the admirals of the fleets and numerous
guests of the Dominion.
First to appear were the conquered
French. AS small solace to their defeat
In early days they were given the cour-
tesy of precedence by their conquerors.
Battalions of French sailors. with their
bugles sounding defiantly and tricolor
waving, went past. The officers lowered
their swords. the flag dipped, the prince,
on horseback saluted and the French
Canadians cheered.
Up from the distance came swinging
line Of blue. the American marines, their
band playing Nancy Lee" and every
man marching In short. quick step. What
cheer they got from thousands Of

Stripes, everybody praising their perfect

from half a dozen ships. dragging their
field guns by hand and showing well the
powers of the Britain's navy. Lord Rob
erts. leaving the princes side, galloped
down the line to lead the soldiers of Can
ada. Artillery in solid mass headed the
line, next cavalry so unframed and
ragged as to mar the perfection of the
review. There was silence until at the
end appeared two squadrons of north
western mounted police, the pride of Can

Now came the infantry, Grenadiers in
red coats and huge black shakos High
landers in kits with bagpipes shrilly play
ing, rife brigades in dark green and line
regiments with red uniforms and white
helmets, marching in platoons.
There was brief ceremony in the re-
viewing stand when the battlefield. hith-
erto private property, was made national
ground.
The prince handed to Earl Grey the title
deeds.
In parliament building last night state
ball was given. at which there was a
great crush of society and off1cialdom.
The American battleship New Hamp-
shire was the center of attraction during
the afternoon, with a reception for 500
invited guests.
Vice President and Mrs. Fairbanks and
Mrs Gen. Murray received with Admiral
and Mrs Cowles. Mr.. Fairbanks got out

very gallant, talking to pretty girls. Of
