THIS IS AWFUL,

"A drinking glass used in school for nine days,
was recently put under microscope and here Is
what was found: "The human cells scraped from
the lips of drinkers were numerous the
upper third of the glass that the head OF q pin
could not be placed anywhere without touching
several of these bits Of skin. The saliva, by run
ming down the inside of the glass, had carried cells
and bacteria to the bottom BY counting the cells
present on fifty areas on the glass as seen under
the miscroscope, it was estimated that the cup
contained over 10000 human cells OF dead
skim AS many as $50 germs were seen clinging
to single cell, and very few cells contained less
than ten germs. Between the cells were thousands
of germs left there to the smears Of saliva de-
posted by the drinkers. Not less than one hun
dred thousand bacteria present on every
square inch of glass. A nice clean glass this!
And yet in almost every school house today are
similar glasses out of which children drink.

WHY GERMANY WAS OMITTED,
Explanation of the Cruise to English
and French Ports.

Sincere regret is felt by naval officers
that even a small element among their
German fellow-sailors should feel dis
posed to criticize the Navy Department
for failing to include the German ports
in the itinerary of the Atlantic feet,
which is now visiting France and Eng
land. 1t is explained at the Navy De-
partment that there was not the slightest
disposition to discriminate against Ger
man ports in making up the itinerary.
which, in fact, was made up to meet an
emergency. The original plan was for
the fleet to make flying visit to. the
Mediterranean and it was not in contem-
plation that the ships should go to north
ern Europe at all. But the appearance
Of cholera in Italian seaports and dis
turbed political conditions in other south
European countries made il necessary to
change the program suddenly, and the
fleet was diverted To England and France.
Probably it would have included German
ports in its itinerary but for the fact that
the Baltic sea is not regarded af
fording the pleasantest winter cruising.
Also, it is said to be part of the general
plan for the disposition of the fleet to
make such voyages as the present one
every year. varying the details from time

coast nations of Europe, including Ger
many. will come i'm for a visit

BARLEY PROFITABLE CROP.
In Colonial Times Was Grown Elk.
tensively in Southern States.

Barley as a crop for the southern states
is discussed i'm bulletin that has just
been issued by the Department Of Agri-
culture. The bulletin says that in colonial
times barley was a prominent crop in the
southern states, but the area planted has
so dwindled that il has been omitted
of late years in the crop reports from
that section. The area planted last year.
so far as could be ascertained, amounted
to 1000 acres for Maryland and 5000 for
Virginia The crop brought 81 cents liz
the first named state and II cents In tho
latter.
The buIlein continues. saying. that bar
ley is a valuable crop both for hay and
grain. and goes into detah as to the sort
of barley to plant and the means for
handling it, The necessity for care In
this respect is shown by a record of OK
crops planted, some of which
averaged only twenty-eight bushels TO tina
acre. and some of which were as high
as fifty.

|NFANT|LE PARALYSIS
SPREADS OVER WORLD
Has Reached Alarming Pro-
portions Since First Rec
ognized in 1910.

What has been a remarkable increase
in the prevalence of infantile paralysis
throughout the world, and especially in
the United States. is shown in the latest
report of the public health and marine
hospital service, just issued.
The study of the disease, medically
known as poliomyilitis, was made by
Passed Assistant Surgeon w H. Frost
under the direction of Surgeon General
Wyman, chief of the service.
The disease is more fully reported now
and more cases are recognized than for
merly. AT the same time, the report
says, this does not account for the wide
spread of the contagion and the greater
number Of outbreaks.
Whereas, when the disease was. first
recognized and described, in 1910, there
We're few outbreaks known anywhere.
the contagiOn has grown steadily up to
date. and In the last few years has
reached what physicians characterize as
alarming proportions
An interesting table is given in the
report showing epidemics of pOliomyiitis
throughout the world by five-year periods
since 1850. The list runs from two cpl
denies. with an average of 11.5 cases,
in the first period. to 25 epidemics. with
an average of H. cases or a total Of
S,054, in the period from 1903 to 1909.
The bulletin says it has been deter
mined that the organism causing the dis
ease is too small for microscopic identifi-
cation that it Is resistant to cold and
drying, but that ii is easily killed by
weak disnfecting solutions The serious
ness of the epidemics is not in their NOR
tality, which is only from 10 to u per
cent. but in the permanent after effects,
which leave almost all recovered victims
cripples for life.
There is a long discussion on the trans
mitabiiity of the disease. with the con-
clusion that responsibility has not yet
been definitely fastened on either insects,
domestic animals or fowls or on dust.
1t is certain that the disease can be dis
Seminated by contact
The health authorities are urged to en-
force rigorous isolation The report
makes an appeal for all states to make
the disease reportabe.. Several states
have already done so.
