CONVENIENT BOX FOR TOOLS
Grooves Keep Bits or chisels of vari-
GUS Sizes Apart-Easy to Make

A convenient box for holding tools

of bits or chisels of different sizes. and
each can be selected and removed in
twinkling- The box is a fiat rectangu-
lar affair. with lid that consists of
half of the top and one end, as the cut

The janitor hopping a large floor

curing clean water or washing out his
mop, says the Popular Mechanics. The
small amount of water carried In q
pail will not be enough for a very
large floor. One janitor overcame
this difficulty by making tank with

within few inches of the open end of
the box so that when the lid is opened
the ends of the tools project beyond
it and make them easily accessible.
With each tool separate, as in this re-
ceptacie. the nicking of points and
edges, as happens when they are

has tonsils, and if he thinks that the
parents are able to pay, he will tell
the child to come to his Office with

''The disinfectors, during an cpl
demic, are often given eight or ten
houses to disinfect. They do this
work between private calls. Now, it
is a physical impossibility to disinfect
eight or ten houses in the time de-
manded, especially if one or two hap
pen to be private residences. Well,
the consequence is that the work is
done imperfectly, which is just the
same as not doing it at all.
'Then we have the abuse of the
Health Department, which ought first
to attend to the poor and needy. Two
years ago, during the epidemic. the
contagious hospitals were filed by
people able to pay, while the sick of
the poor were quarantined in their
homes, the bread-winners not allow
ed to go out, thus producing uncalled
for hardship.
'The hospitals of the poor should
be well taken care Of Health and
school inspection are specialties in
themselves; and should pay enough to
induce capable physicians to enter
the service. And the poor should get
this service without any red tape or

BLAME POLITICS FOR DEPT. OF
HEALTH CONDITION
insufficient appropriations due to
politics was given as the reason for
the inefficient way the Department of
Health is conducted by DR.. Benz. H.
Breakstone and DR.. w. F. Won Zelin-
ski, chairman and secretary, respec-
lively, of the committee on the Abuse
of Medical Charities of the Chicago
Medical Society.
The doctors claim that the school
and health inspectors and the disin-
fectors are paid too little to expect
them to do their work properly, and
most Of them are young graduates
who take up the work for the few dol
lars there is in it, and leave it as soon
as they have built up practice. Also
that their private practice interferes
with the city work, and it is the lat
ter that suffers. It is a well-known
fact among the medical fraternity
that several hospitals have rules pro-
hibiting health and school inspectors
from their staffs, because these doc
tors in some cases spread disease in
stead of warding it off, according to
both of them.
Well" they were asked, what is
the remedy?"
"The remedy lies in reducing the
ctoff TO11ftiOor tboT, on full +ir,o not
allowing them to attend to private
patients while working for the city
and paying them decent salaries.
Here is the proposition" DR..
Breakstone continued. "a school in

They sing the songs Tie others bid

While in their souls are stifled

They build and they destroy, they

They fume of petty losses and OF

They count as truth the rote that they
are told,
The spurn as lies whatever they

They ban as hereto the overbold,
The one who would uncover what

And they succeed-they say they

Who reaches goals they may not
