The Drinking Cup.
DO YOU KNOW

Do YOU KNOW
That death, in the form of dan
gerous, contagious and malignan,
diseases, turks in the common
drinking cupy
That cup used in common BY
all the pupils in the school may
be reeking with disease produc
ing germs?
Even a healthy child may carry
in his mouth the germs Of con
tagious disease, and pass then
on to others by means Of the
drinking cup.
That consumption, diptheria
scarlet fever, tonsilitis, eczema
are among the infectious mala
dies threaten a child when he
puts the cup to his lips!
THESE ARE FACTS
Proven by the examination OF
drinking cups by psychologists
-attested by every doctOr-ur'
ged by the State board of health.
In cities and towns all over
the country, public cups have
been collected and tested. In
the laboratories, the innocent
looking cup cannot hide it's pOpu'
lation of dangerous disease
germs.
So great is the danger that
State Departments of Education
urge that the drinking cup be
abolished in every school. In
many states the people have de-
clared the drinking cup an enemy
and an outlaw, and have passed
laws forbidding theie use in
schools or public places.
IN YOUR SCHOOL,
Must children endanger their
health every time they want a
drink of cold water?
Have pupils us their own cups
Copied.

The natural ability of Texans
to solve all necessary problems
when they become thoroughly
aroused, is we'll known. Our
fathers wrestled with the mighty
wilderness and savage man, pnd
conquered them both. Shall we
not wrestle with the gigantic
problems of industrial life in the
Twentieth Century and solve
them!

men and children put to death were
those actually engaged in the treach-
ery-the Italians admitting that there
were accorded the same treatment as
the men. To the charge that inno-
cent suffered as we'll as the guilty.
the italians admit that this is en-
tirely possible because of the excite
ment. but on the other hand point
out that the Italian temperament is
not one of cruelty. In some instances,
they say. the Italian soldiers were
actually fired upon by Arab women
and children.
Dhis sudden awakening of the 1tal-
ians to the fact that they would have
to subdue the entire territory, natur-
ally threw the whole occupation back
onto a purely military basis again
which resulted in a step which at
first was not contemplated. This was
the actual annexation of the terri
tories at Tripoli and Cyrenaica,-the
sovereignty of which Italy had at
first been willing to grant to Turkey,
and their incorporation under the
rule of the Italian crown.
King Victor Emmanuel, in signing
the decree of annexation, pointed out
to the powers that it had been
brought about by Turkeys refusal to
make peace. it's insistence on prolong-
ing useless war. and the fact that
all of the principal cities of the two
territories We're then in the full milf

Mr.. KENNY'S RETIREMENT

Director of Public Works NJ A.

officer. In the midst of much unfair
criticism of a political nature he has
pursued the steady tenor of his way
for two years, doing good work N
silence
Under the spoils system this office
is a trying one for it's incumbent. The
demand for places is about 800 per
cent. greater than the opportunity 20
furnish them. 1t is still true that
politics holds no enemy like a man
denied a job.
No higher compliment could be
paid to Mr.. Kenny than the appoint
nent of Mr.. Courtade, his first as
sistant. to be director. Mr.. Courtade
is a Republican. The administration
is Republican. Hence the change.
The system, and only the system is
to blame. Mr. Kenny retires with the
good wishes of the business commuu-
ity and such as appreciate his deSo-
ton to difficult task.
