Cleanliness.

Many diseases cause Infection of the
sputum or spitat. When this infected
sputum is deposited where it may
evaporate, dry, and turn to dust, the
little particles of dust contain the
germs of the disease in question.
This dust is carried aoout from place
to place in the house by currents of
air and may serve to infect those who
breathe it. The diseases spread
throught the sputum are tuberculosis,
measles, mumps, scarlet fever, diph-
iberia, cerebro-meningitis, infantile
paralysis, influenza, tonsilitis, and
others.
When speaking of cleanliness, it
should be understood that this germ
laden dust is the dirt that is to be
dreaded. Cleanliness, then, means
care in the guarding of bacteria and
in preventing the spread of bacteria
by excreta. The ordinary dirt such
as the soil, ashes, ETC., which is brought
into the house on the feet or is blown
in, Is practically harmless.

Isn't it just little singular as well
as surprising for bureau official to
refuse to furnish information in his
possession to Congressional Com
mittee? And isn't the complaisant
attorney general altogether beyond
good reason in advising such official
to stand between the people and their
right to know of matters pertaining
to the public service? To me, that
looks like placing the servant above
and beyond the will of his master.
II savors too much of the monarchical
method of government and totally
unsuited to a land where the peo-
pie are held to be sovereign.
SOME very "dry" Missouri legislator
has introduced into the House bill
throwing open to search warrant, in
local option counties, houses suspect
ed of containing more than two gal
Ions Of bourbon or rye. If l lived in
such county the searchers would
have their trouble for their labor; but
it is my inalienable right on any Sec
ton of Columbia's soil, to possess a
ten gallon keg in peace and security,
I holding a receipted bill for the
liquor. The man who would deprive
me of this right has no fit sense of the
conditions which governs free people,
and, if there were enough of his kind,
would make US slaves to his every
ssmoral" whim.

on cross examination The jury
heard the prosecutions futile effort to
corroborate this testimony; heard the
chief aceuser admit his own guilt and
then take refuge behind the immunity
cloak held in waiting.
In view of these facts, in view Of
the incessant fight that has been
made on the state department of
health by those who had a personal
interest at stake. or a grievance to
satisfy, I feel that the unanimous
verdict of mot guilty" as rendered
last Friday should cause honest
people to dispel any hastily formed
opinion of me or my work, and to
terminate for all time the activities
of those who follow ambition, political
as we'll as professional, to the very
destruction of their fellow man.
