THE LATEST MENACE.
The handkerchief is Now Dissem
inator of Disease.

Still another old fashioned and al
most universal practice among men has
been condemned by the remorseless
medical men-the simple act of putting
ones handkerchief into ones pocket.
Handkerchief should never be put
into pockets" a London doctor said
yesterday. They should be stuffed in
stead, army fashion, into ones coat
sleeve
The practice of carrying a hand
kerchief in a pocket is obviously un-
hygienic. Hundreds of men have con-
tracted severe colds and possibly worse
ailments through the habit.
I'm the first place a pocket is a place
of darkness and warmth-the favorite
conditions for the breeding of germs
II man has a special handkerchief
pocket. in time that pocket becomes in
fected with dangerous organisms.
THE handkerchief is stuffed into
ones pocket, and the organisms find a
home on the pocket lining.
1T will be seen that a perfectly clean
handkerchief will become Immediately
infected the moment it is put into the
pocket.
Now whenever man blows his nose
he naturally draws a deep breath i'm
mediately afterwards. the handkerchief
still being held to his face.
Consequently he inhales innumer-
able germs. more or less poisonous
which may bring about serious illness
OF disease.
The only sensible and hygienic way
to carry a handkerchief is to put it w
ones sleeve, or rather cuff. Here there
is no cul-de-sac. The draught of all
caused by the blowing of the wind oil
the swinging of the arm is sufficient t
keep the sleeve passably germ free.
People who persist in carrying
handkerchiefs in their pockets should
at least protect themselves by fire.

MICHIGAN PEOPLE

Picnic at the Henry Ranch Was a
jolly Reunion

About twice as many people as had
been hoped for responded to the call
of the Michigan society for a reunion
picnic yesterday at the ranch home

The ranch was arrayed in all the
splendor of a Salt River valley home
at the most pleasing time of the
year. The orchard was mass of
flowers, all manner of citrus and
deciduous trees mingling their bios
SONS in the huge bouquet. Other
fields were verdant with grass and

place for a picnic and the Henry
family proved an ideal host.
