grew out OF the fact that n scientist
discovered 100000 germs of various
races, colors and conditions of servi-
tude upon 81 bill. Thus it Is said
that an old friend has gone wrong, and
1t seems terrible shame. If the mi.
crobes feel really in. the need of o
cash diet, they should have tackled the
s. bills or the SO bills, and we would
never have been in tho slightest
danger. The only unhealthy bin re-.
ported upon is the 81 bill, and that Is
about the only one we ever como II,
contact with.
The dollar bill we had las,
Saturday must now have al
least 91.999.99e microbes. for there
was only time for about one OF them
to jump. on us before we handed 1,
along to the meat market proprietor
but even 91.999.999 microbes can stir
up considerable trouble Let the NIL
crobes confinc themselves to the SIS bills
which are handled by the predatory
rich, for tho rich can much better at.
ford to be sick than we can Let us
have no more siclslS 81 bills The con.
Gressional measure should be passed
