How to Obtain Govt Publications

Ne doubt most people interested in
useful reading matter will thank us
for information, obtained through off,

trouble and at trifling expense. The
idea that prevails most generally. that
this class of literature may be secured
through the courtesy of Members of
Congress, is correct only i'll SO slight
a degree that it had best be corrected.
There are nearly 500 senators and rep
resentatipes-hence an edition of sev-
eraI thousand copies. if distributed
pro rata, gives to each emily a few cop
les. Some of these the senator or rep
resentatiye needs for reference, the
few left over are soon exhausted. and
those constituents who then write Tor
them are necessarily disappointed.
through no fault of the public man
whom they have addressed Nov. as
a general PROPOSITION, the reader who
is interested in a Government publi
cation will serve himself best. by adj

"Don'ts" to Think About.

Tile list of ''don'ts" compiled by DR..
Charles J White as a part of his free
popular lecture before Harvard Medi-
cal school, is worth careful perusal
and FASTING on the wall in a most con-
spicuous place. Among these "don'ts'
were:
Don't play kissing games; don't
fondle untidy and perhaps diseased
children: don't go to the barber or
hairdresser without carrying your own
brush and comb: don't drink from a
public water tank, even though there
may be individual drinking cups pro-
vided. dent use public cigar cutters;
don't use roller towels; don't use soap
provided for common use; don't wash
the face in public bowl but use the
water running from the faucet; don't
put money in your mouth"

told Il number of ways by which a
barber who is not careful may spread
skin infection, as, for instance, by the
use of soap and brushes that have not
been properly cleansed since last used.
He stated that it is practically impos-
sibly to sterilize hairbrushes by any
means other than thorough washing
with soap and water at least once a
week and exposing them to the sun
outdoors for several hours two or
three times week
The speaker was very emphatic that
ali BARRIERS and hairdressers should be
obliged by law to take course in
