JACKSON APPOINTED
COAL OIL INSPECTOR


M. Jackson, one of our leading mer-
chants, was appointed coal oil inspec-
tor OH Tuesday last by Gov. Patterson.
There were two other applicants, Col.
DeArmond and DR.. Miller.
Mr.. Jackson came to Johnson City
about eighteen years ago and has been
a staunch democrat and a good worker
for the party. He was one of Gov.
Patterson's staunchest supporters from
the first, and did good work in carry
ing this city for him, and as the gov
ernor never forgets his friends, the
mantle of this position was a fitting
reward placed on the shoulders of the
man who deserved the plum. Mr.
Jackson's business ability is so well
known that there can be no question
as to his fitness for the position. We
congratulate the governor on his selec-
ton, and assure him it meets with the
appreciation of his supporters and the
people. Thus are the faithful justly
rewarded

HOW IMPROPER WASHING
Of Clothes Cause Disease and Often
Epidemies That People Should
Strongly Guard Against.

Probably steam laundries, on account
of their charges, which to those who do
not understand or appreciate their
great value from sanitary standpoint,
do not get the patronage they deserve,
or would get, if people really studied
the question of their laundry'more.
To say that disease-dangerous, con-
tagious and infectious diseases often
transferred to the weareF of improperly
washed linens, is to state an absolute
fact, You have your family washing
Observation-Disclosures, bed clothes, table
linens, handkerchiefs and all-dumped
into wash tub, to be scrubbed out in
the old fashioned way, maybe in water
in which some one else's clothes have
been washed, hung out in the open,
where contamination is possible, to
dry, then brought into the house, piled
up on bed, lounge or some other
place, in close room-an only living
room-where perhaps child has had
whOoping cough, measles, diphtheria,
| scarlet fever, or where there is con-
sumptive living, or some one with a
loathsOme skin disease, and after iron
ing, perhaps pressed with half hot or
only a warm iron, to say the least,
poorly ir6ned-and ironing viii not
kill the disease-is certainly very dan
gerous and invites disease. Had you
ever thought of it? How did your child
contract the itch? How did it get &C.
zema? How did some one contract
consumption? How did small pox be-
come epidemic, or diphtheria, or
whooping cough, or measles, unless
through contamination with something
or some one?
Is not this serious question: I'm
der the circumstances, is it cheaper,
with doctors bills added, than to pay
a little more and have your clothes
turned into steaming hot boiler
where boiling, seething scalding steam
is turned on, killing every atom of dis
ease, where strong suds are used, then
rinsed in steaming hot clean pure water
rung out by machinery, hung in hot,
very hot, drying rooms, and ironed by
hot rollers, then wrapped and delivered
in covered wagons, coming home
washed white, sweet and clean? What
do you think about it2 Which may
prove the cheapest in the long run
Which the more sanitary and healthy?
If you don't want your clothes iron
ed, and if you prefer to save that ex-
pense, you can have them washed and
rough dried for very small sum.
These are things worth thinking
about. Such precautions with your
laundry may save your own or your
child's life and prevent at least the
spread of many disease
This article is not meant to harm any
one, but merely intended as a sugges-
ton, a precautionary measure in favor
of better and cleaner living.

One of the big pigs which was being brought to market from the Farnham farm got lose in Broadway, New Ha- ven Saturday afternoon and for a con- siderable time one of the most excit- ing and Iiveliest chases that has been seen in that vicinity prevailed.
