Caro- Of Thls important Fec
Tor In the Kitchen.

During the last few years scientista
have ehdeavored to awaken the peO
pie to the vast importance Of bacteria
Today everyone is beginning to real
ize and to recognize the important
part which bacteria play in home
sanitation.
Bacteria comprise q small class Of
low plants which are possessed Of
wonderful powers. There are hun.
dreds Of different species and forms
all OF which are extremely minute and
which are never visible to the naked
eye. The fact that they are 30 uni
versally found In nature, together
with their great powers Of multipli
cation. renders them Of the greatest
Importance in nature. We should not
&c the idea that all bacteria are to be
condemned, because some of them ara
our friends rather than our enemies
However, there ia class of bacteria
called pathogenic or disease-productng
bacteria. which are harmful, and it la
against those that we should wage
our war.
To most people the care Of the dish
cloth seems very simple and unim-
portant phase in our household duties,
and yet the dishcloth Is a very import
ant factor in the kitchen. and may be
the cause Of serious trouble.
We all know Of q housekeeper (of
couse WE never do such a thing)
who Is really very cieanly and con-
sidered q number one housekeeper.
who. after washing her dishes. washes
OF the gas plate, the sink and probab-
ly a little of the woodwork with the
same cloth. She throws out the dish
water, rinses out the pan and cloth
and hangs It over the pan or oven In
. dark corner to dry. Then after each
meal this process Is continued I know
a woman who says that she always
makes 1t rule never to use her dish
cloth after 1t gets to be over yard
long" Now, when we stop to con.
slider the seriousness Of pathogenic
bacteria and the diseases which they
cause. We realize that a Shiny. greasy
dishcloth would be very likely to breed
disease. .
A noted physician relates an ex.
perience which he had In a family
where a daughter was taken I'll with
diphtheria. After her death two other
members of the family were taken
with the same disease. As there were
no other cases in that town and ap-
parenuy no cause for It, he began to
/ investigate. He searched the whole
house and surroundings and found
everything perfectly sanitary. He was
about to give up his Investigation
when he caught sight of the dish
cloth. Upon examining It he found
It to contain millions of microbes. So
the cause Of the diphtheria was at.
tributed to the dirty dishcloth which
the mother had thoughtlessly used.
We should always wash the dish
cloth thoroughly with hot water and
soap after using 1t. rinse It and shake
1t out and then hang It up in the sun
to dry, never using It for anything
excepting dishwashing. And do not
use 1t until 1T is a yard long"
We must realize that ut Is the little
things which count" even In santa

meantime she is capable of making a
very efficient county superintendent of
schools. having occupied the position of
a public school teacher for five years in
rural and % years in city schools.
She left her school work in Ohio be-
cause of chronic asthma that she hoped
to be relieved of by coming to the dry
climate of Colorado; and did find great
relief. On coming here she took up the
three years course of the State Normal
school at Greeley. did the work and Sc
cured her diploma in 1906, which gives
her life certificate as teacher in the
public schools of this state.
She has been a teacher in the highest
grades OF our city school for number of
years. Her work has been SO efficient
and satisfactory to the board that her
engagement each year has been a
matter of course, no matter what changes
have been made in other departments.
Last year. on the announced retirement
of Mr.. Weybright the whole staff under
him signed memorial to the school board
asking for the appointment of Miss Part
ner to the prinoipa!shlp of the Washington
school building. with its corps of ten
teachers.
There is no question that it elected to
the office of county superintendent of
schools she will give to the work the
same faithful and painstaking service of
the county schools that she has always
given to her individual school room.

FRIDAY. OCT. IS 1912
CAMPAIGN WARMING UP

Headquarters were this week opened
up by the combined Progressive-Repub-
lican forces in the kmzey-Cover block
on North Main street. and under charge
of Mortimer u. Randel, the well-known
publicity man, a campaign is under way
that is bound to bring victory to the fusion
county. legislative and judicial candidates.
At Progressive meeting in La Junta
late last week Judge Glenn's candidacy
for the position Of district Judge. was in
dorsed by the county committee. Similar
acton has since been taken by the Pro-
gressives of Pueblo county, and as there
is no opposition in the other counties of the
district it now looks like walkaway for
the popular Rocky Ford attorney.
Early in the week the Republican leg
islative committee of Otero and Crowley
counties met and indorsed the candidacy
of F. M. Weiland, the Progressive candi-
date for state senator. whom they de-
clered to be "the man for the place" as
he is an experienced ditch builder and ir-
rigationist who will guard well the inter-
ests of his constituents in the next Colo
rado general assembly. where man of
his knowledge and aggressive ability is ro-
quired.
And yesterday Joel W. Todd, chairman
of the Progressive committee. received
frank and manly letter from J. M.
Shaulis. in which he stated that in the
interest of harmony and desire to see
the Democrats ousted from the law
making power in Colorado, he withdrew
from the race for representative. This
leaves William Edgar of Ordway opposed
to the Democratic nominee for represent
ative. and has forged the last Ii k in the
strongest chain of candidates ever pro-
duoed in this county and district.
Now let's all work and vote for the
ogressive-Republican ticket !
