Microbes came into existence
about fifteen years ago. Since then
they have multiplied so that they
form one Of our staple products.
Microbes are OF two kinds: the
profitable and the improbable. They
are also called germs. a germ being
a micorbe who has been through col
lege. But generally speaking, a mi
crobe by any other name costs Just
as much.
There is no law against the manu-
facture Of microbes by minors, so
that every one. down to the most
diminutive infant. is constantly en-
gagged In their culture. They are
distributed b. flies. wind and doc
tors. being one OF the most impor-
tant assets Of medical science.
One Of the best ways to get a col
lection Of microbes Is from the ruby
lips Of q sweet girl Do not take
them all at once. but only on the
installment plan. Remember also
that there are good microbes and
bad ones. The good microbe wears
plain clothes. is always ready to roll
up his sleeve and go to work in q
good cause; has sincere, open.
hearty. blum manner, and looks you
straight IN the eye. The bad micro
be Is dressed In gaudy colors smiles
q crafty smile. and has a sandbag up
his sleeve. When an army of bad

The commotlon raised by that mon

China was then called. II was about
the year 1900. or possibly a tribe
