In putting its ban on the common
drinking cup" the New York Board
OF Health is doing good thing. The
public drinking cup is carrier Of in
lection and the habit Of using an in
dividual drinking vessel under all cir
cumstances might be good to acquire.
There are folding cups of metal. rub

keep about the person without dis

disclosures. II may furnish incon-
trovertible evidence that the much dis
cussed Benedict Arnold was by no
means alone in his class; that, on the
other hand, there were q great many
so-called American patriots to whom
proud scions trace boastful lineage
today who were in the pay of Great
Britain and rendered more or less
effective service.
Students of history are well aware
that the patriot fathers had q far
harder time of it than is commonly
supposed. In the earlier days of the
struggle, particularly, there were
thousands of timid souls who were re-
luctant to cast in their lot with the
common cause, and the record Of the
muster roll may disclose somo com.
promising instances where the patriot
served Great Britain to the end. II
would be like ghosts holding witches
Sabbath to have few thousand OF
these ancestors come grinning and
chattering in their Tory livery from
the grave at this late day, and would
dim the luster of great many exalted
names. Small wonder that the His
torical Society of Pennsylvania, which
is about to make it public, has beer
besieged for inside glimpses before the

MAKING DEBASED USE

One sees so often articles written in

wish you would find space in your valu-

TORY ANCESTORS AND
PATRIOTIC SCIONS.

One of the most unreliable of all
persons is an ancestor. Confding
des endants over and over again have
been told that the wisest man was he
who was determined to be the Ru-
dolph of his race, and Douglas Jerrold
Iikened the nobility to potato vine,
because the best of them was under
ground.
And yet pride of birth continues to
occupy the attention OF a large por'
tion of the population, and ancestral
organizations still grow apace. A
roster recently drawn from the archives
of Canada is about to be made public
however, and a number of people
throughout the country are viewing il
in the light of a bomb with the fuse
lit and no help nigh. 1t is the British
American muster roll, containing the
names of 1900 Americans who were il
the service of Great Britain during
what Tom Paine called "the times thai
tried mems souls.' Efforts to pur
chase this ancient and important Revo
