Declared as Nesting and Breed
ing Place for Disease Germs.
Senator Of Kansas Says State Has
Suffered Greatly from Popular I'm
preston Il IL Sort Of Home
for Gaiways.


the Kansas state board of health sue
ceeds in his new reform of cutting
OF the whiskers which have made
certain brand of politics famous In
this state, thousands Of people VIII
rise up and call him blessed. DR..
Crumbine, in the interest Of public
health, declares that the long, I'M
kempt boards, which grew luxuriantly
upon the faces of some Of the men of
Kansas, are nothing short Of nesting
and breeding place for germs.
Kansas has been getting away from
the whisker habit, until now only few
of the older men wear long boards.
The young men of the state have
learned that q whiskered face is ta-
booed in good society. and few there
are that are displayed in the bali
room, the reception parlor or the
theater It is the middie-aged and old
men who still cling to the hirsute ap-
pendage. and these constitute the
class which DR.. Crumbine Is trying to
reach In the interest Of the public
health.
The health board secretary, after an
exhaustive investigation. says heavy
growth of whiskers Is the natural
hiding place for germs and the pri-
mary cause of many of the infectious
diseases which bafiie the skill Of the
medical fraternity. A man with a
thick, heavy growth Of whiskers un-
der the chin, DR.. Crumbine says. rare
ly ever permits water, much less soap,
to find it's way to the skin. thus car.
rying around with him constantly q
veritable nest of germs sufficient to In
feet a whole neighborhood.
No. a few men who believe in the
whisker as a facial adornment have
written to DIR. Crumbine to protest
against the liberty he takes In seeking
| to cut and curtail Kansas boards. but
nevertheless, the general public Is
with the doctor In this latest crusade
as the letters which pour into his Of
fice every week amply testify.
State Senator Brady of Lawrence
who has long fought whiskers. Is one
of DIR. Crumbine's stanch supporters
He says: In the days Of Papulism
Kansas acquired a reputation that has
done the state incalculable harm. In
the east there is a general belief thai
the whiskers in this state obscure the
sun, and no cartoonist would think Of
picturing a Kansas farmer without
adjoining his chin with beard akin
to that worn by a Russian nihilist
The man who runs largely to whisk
ers is generally considered incapable

more or less Of a joke. Hence the
