How Touching Things That
are Infected May Spread Disease

Civilized man touches a hun
dred things with his hands to
every one with any other part OF
his body. Literally he sticks the
former into everything. 1t fol
lows, as DIR. Eccles points out in
the Dietetic and HYGIENE Ga
zette, that hands probably play
a very important part in the
spread of disease. From this
the further oorallary may be
drawn that washing the hands
is a sanitary process Of great i'm
portance. 1t affords all imper-
feet but partial disinfection.
Pretty much everythi n G
touched by the hands may be in
fected-m oney, newspapers,
books, ~street-car straps, restau-
rant knives and forks and tum-
blers, other peoples hands, door
handles, public pens and pencils,
and so on and infinitum.
Clean hands are of far more
Importance hygienically than ae-
theticai.'y; washing them after
handling some dangerously in
fected obj act may save your own
or some one else's life. As you
have no way Of Distinguishing
infected from unaffected things
bank notes, for instance-the
hands should always be washed
as a matter of routine before
they are carried to the eyes or

ton runs more to gross weight
than to quality, and like the hog
they are despised. "A hog isn't
worth a thing until he is placed
on the market. He serves no
useful purpose while he lives,
and it is only as he gathers fat
that he adds value. He is a

w. H. Aucker.

w. II. Aucker.
On the 18th ofvApyis hpl0,F
about five o'clock in the morn
ing, at his home near Tupelo.
MI. w. H. Aucker passed away
after an illness Of ten days or
two weeks.
The subject of this sketch had
been a citizen Of Lee county and
state of Mississippi for more
than twenty years, marrying an
estimable southern lady about
seventeen years ago, who mourns
his loss.
Mr.. Aucker was a Union sol
der and fought in the First Reg
iment of Minnesota Volunteers,
and at the battle of Gettysburg
received wounds that disabled
him from service. and from,
which he suffered more or less
to the day of his death, but was
rarely ever heard to murmur or
complain even by his most init
mate friends.
An incident that occurred on
the above mentioned battlefield
and worthy of note, showing
that the sincere milk Of human
kindness flowed from his heart,
was this: Lying on the battle
field desperately wounded, hav-
ing received his pay a few days
before, he freely divided his
money with the wounded Con-
federates around him with which
to buy necessities, as if they had
been brothers, and such acts of
kindness as this all along the
journey of life is why he was
held in love and esteem by the
Confederate Veterans, which
was shown by their earnest par
ticipation in his burial.
Paul's command to Timothy
was to endure hardships as a
good soldier of Jesus Christ"
and so sure as hardships are to
be borne in the spiritual warfare,
so in the physical, without which
there could be no acceptable SER
vice. So the wounds received in
this battle are the fruits by
which he was known, and the
proof of the hardships endured,
that he was a good soldier for
the Union.
Sherman declared the late war
as hell. The spiritual war is
heaven as declared by our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ, and he
declares is taken by violence.
AS our friend and neighbor
was a private in the Federal
ranks, he never forgot or neg
lected to enlist in the Christian
cause, going about doing good
and carrying cheer into all the
homes he visited. Whose word
was his bond, and who truly had
on the Christian armour; having
his loins grit about with truth
and having on the breastplate Of
righteousness and his feet shod
with the preparation of the gos-
pei of peace. And this is why
he was so loved in his home and
by his neighbors. A Friend.

who is now known as Mrs. Elizabeth
Fuhrer, the children have made their

is a third child, still younger. living
with them. 1t was testified to in court
that the latter is sickly. The evidence
showed that the two dependents were
not properly clothed or cared for and
were allowed to run at random about
the streets. Mrs Fuhrer, the mother,
the evidence showed, was not a fit per
son to be entrusted with the raising of
a child. although she denied that she
was leading an improper life.
