Certainly no physician doubts,
that whiskers are herds for mil
lions of germs and for this reason
the surgeons In the German army
have for many years not been al
lowed to wear whiskers. Surgeons
actually should not wear whiskers,
neither should dentists, the latter

their machines. But there is very
little harm in wearing whiskers by
a general practitioner. providing
that he is clean. Cloth carries
germs as well as whiskers, and in
order to absolutely avoid carrying
germs from one patient TO an
other, it would be necessary that
the physicians would make their
calls stark naked and even that
would not be sufficient. unless they
would take a full bath and thor
ouch disinfecting after each visit.
If the editor thinks that it would
be sufficient if a doctors whiskers

ticket mast vote the republican

The impression prevails with a

the name of a republican on his
ticket. This can be done, but it
will not count for the man thus
voted for, unless there are enough
ballots of this character to give the
republican a nomination on the

To LEAVE TOWN

Just before Tom Sampson was
about to board the Z o'clock O. R.
and n. train last evening, a police
man stopped him, told him he was
drunk, and instructed him to stay
off the train. Sampson immedi-
ately walked over to The Press Of

absolutely sober when he told it,
and that was a few minutes after
he had been prevented from board
ing the train.
He said that he and his partner
had secured work at Pasco, had
got their tickets, and were on the
depot platform. Sampson had three
bottles of beer with his luggage. A
policeman came up to him and in
sisted on seeing his ticket. He was
then apparently satisfied, but a
few minutes later told the man that
he could not leave town. His part
ner stayed with him. They may be
able to leave tonight, and may
not.

The temper of the population is

clashes between troops and revolu-

that dispatches are closely censored
led to the belief that the conflicts
