A Calm View Of Germs.

We all knew that we live in the
midst of a countless army of invisi-
BILE organisms, and that to them we
owe many of our most painful and
dangerous diseases. With regard to
them We stand, as it were, between
Scylla and Charybdis, the Scylla
of ignorance or indifference, and the
Charybdis of worry and fear-and it
is hard to say which is the worse.
The germs are here, and therefore
we ought to inform ourselves about
them, and take proper precautions
against them: bnt it is wrong to let
ourselves be thrown into a panic.
Common sense should remind US
that In spite of the omnipresence OF
germs, infection OF any sort is rare.
1t snot necessary to become a
monomaniac upon learning that
money is generally ufilthy lucre" in
another than the Scnptural sense.
We like to handle all We can get of
it, and generally do SO with impuni-
ty. At the same time we know the
germs are there, and We ought to
remember that the human mouth
was never intended as receptacle
for coin.
1t is disagreeable to reflect that
hands are usually dirty things, but
it is true. The most scrupulous per-
son cannot keep sterilized hand,
except by living In a rubber glove,
and then the glove would be dirty!
The human hand is meant to do
things with; you cannot do anything
without touching things, and that
means contact with germs. But
there is little danger ii we keep our
hands as clean as VIC can and OBJ
serve few simple precautions.
Most important of all, we can
learn to keep our hands away from
our faces. That Is rule that
parents and teachers should teach
the yoIng IN the habit-forming
period of lie. The hands should
not even be used To wash the face
with ual.ss they haze been thor
oughly washed themi-lves. and the
eyes should never b: toacael by
them.
Finally, let other peoples towels
and brushes alone. That is a
measure of protection you owe not
only to yourself but to the "a.
