MENACE IN SPLITTING EVIL
Allegation Is Made That the Habit Is
Responsible for IS Per Gent.
of Consumption Cases.

Ninety-five per cent of our con-
sumption says the North Carolina
state board of health, comes from
careless splitting, coughing and sneez,
Ing, particularly on the part of the
consumptive, but also from people
who are apparently healthy. Spit Is
frequently laden with deadly disease
germs. particularly that of consump-
tives.
When one coughs, splits or sneezes.
a great multitude of tiny drops OF
spittle are violently expelled from the
mouth and nose. The largest of these
drops can be readily seen. A large
number of smaller droplets can be
found if mirror or piece of glass Is
held before the face when coughing
or sneezing A tremendous quantity
OF still smaller droplets are dis
charged in the form of an invisible
spray or mist. which floats about in
the air for some time. Scientists
have found that when a man coughs,
spits or sneezes in a large hall or
room wEsre the air is quiet, these
tiny, invisible germ-laden droplets
will float IN the air for distance OF
IS to 100 feet These tiny droplets.
In the form of mist or spray. may be
breathed In by other people, or they
may settle on objects with which
they come into intimate contact, such
as food and clothing. Viewed In this
light, such conduct Is at least i'm
polite Furthermore, It is dangerous
to the public at large to have careless
people actually coughing, sneezing and
splitting germ-laden matter into their
faces, even if it is invisible and In

WASN'T A FIVE O'CLOCK TEA
Glass One of Chess Fanatics Properly
Objected to Garrulousness of
His Opponent.

Two elderly chess fanatics were abb
sorbed In a game at the Mechanics
institute in San Francisco recently.
Both were experts and rigid follow
ers of all the rules of the game, writ
ten and otherwise. For nearly five
hours neither had spoken a word.
Backward and forward, moving and
countermoving, the game swung, with
no perceptible advantage to either
player. Finally one of the old fell
low1 made a fatal break. Quick as a
flasE his opponent moved his knight
into position and softly murmured,
Check"
The other player, making no effort
to conceal his displeasure, rose from
the game.
What's the matter?" demanded his
friend. Going to quit?"
