.GUARDERS
SCORED

Jacksonville. Fla, Dec. 1.--Untruth-
full and unscientific statements in
bulletins issued by state departments
of health were severely criticised by
DR.. Charles F. Chaplin, superintendent
of health of Providence, r. l., in an
address before the American Public
Health association today.
For the sake Of those who come af-
ter stop filling your columns with TOM
my-rot, hot air and DOPE" he said.
DO not be always seeking novelty
Most that is new Is bad. There are
plenty OF old truths which all Of our
lOO,OOO,oOO people have not yet learn
ed"
Among the fallacies being spread to
the detriment Of real public health
work. DR.. Chaplin cited what he called
the ''old heresy about the all-import-
ance of dirt in the causation OF
disease" He said that il Is doubtless
true that whatever encourages cleann-
ness tends TO discourage the habits
which favor infection, but he believed
that "to fight all kinds Of dirt instead
of limiting attacks to- dangerous dirt
is misleading and futile" rH
DR.. Chaplain especially criticised
much. of the publicity on the relation
Of air to disease. He stated that the
old theory of exhaled poisons had been
demolished; that germs rarely foated
in the air: that we are still in profound
ignorance as to the relation Of
humidity to disease; that most of the
supposed effects of foul, unventilated
rooms have been shown to be due to
temperature and odors.
Food adulteration, except in a few
instances" he said, lis an economic,
not a health problem. AS to partially
decayed foods we know nothing about
their relation to health. The clean
handling of foods is most desirable
from sanitary standpoint but real
cleanliness is most difficult of attain
ment. Much that appears Is carelessly
written and the emphasis is placed on
the wrong thing as when dust absorbs
all the attention and nothing is said
about dirty hands"

KILLED BY A TRAIN
IN DAREDEVIL stunt

jamestown, N. D., Dec. ALBERT
Mansbridge was instantly killed at
Eldridge when he was struck by the
engine of Northern Pacific passenger
train No. 1. The mans head and body
was terribly crushed by the impact
and it is believed the man could not
have known what struck him. The
train was travelling fifty miles an hour,
exactly on time. .#
The deceased and four companions
had been at one of the stores and in
tended to cross to the south side Of
the track when the PASSENGER train
was seen approaching at full speed.
II was suggested that they see which
could cross the track the closest to
the approaching engine. Three of the
men did not try to make the attempt,
but one did, crossing ahead of the de-
ceased with safety Mansbridge was
seen to try. to cross about a car
length ahead Of the engine and was
supposed by the engineer to have
crossed safely. H..
Engineer j. c. Beach of this city
was at the throttle OF the lead en-
gine, assisting the train out of James,
town so far as Windsor. The fireman
was STOPPING. putting in coal and did
not look ahead. Mr.. Beach was not
aware that the engine had struck the
man until on the way back he was
notified of the accident and stopped
at Eldridge to pick up the remains.
No blame whatever attaches to the en-
gine crew or railroad. a-

DAILY LETTER
ON FINANCE

New York, Dec. 1.-The first full
session of dealings in bonds on the
stock exchange under the limitations
fixed by the authorities of that insti-
tuition, passed off yesterday without
untoward incidents. Trading suggest
ed extreme caution at all times, but
the movement was broader than on
Saturday.
Altogether about eighty issues
changed hands with marked prepon-
derance of substantial declines, the
losses in some instances extending to-
as much as seven points in inactive
bond On the other hand few gains
of nominal proportions were register
ed, mainly in local fractions and some
industrials and specialties whose bust
ness has derived some. benefit from
the foreign war.
In its chief essentials, the trend of
the market was accepted as nat
ural one under existing circumstances.
There was no concerted movement to
sell and in the early dealings some is
sues were obtainable at minimum
prices This resulted in higher bids.
Mercantile marine bonds, which start
ed off with slight recovery from
soon fell back in what appeared to be
speculative selling. New Haven skies
were reported to have been sold by in.
stitutions.
Regular quotations for call and time
loans were resumed on the exchange.
The opening rate for call money was
S per cent, but the abundant supply
soon caused q fall to four and one-
quarter, closing at four and one-half.
Time loans UP to six months were ne-
gotiated at 1-2 per cent and num-,
Der of per cent contracts expiring
tomorrow were renewed on the first
named basis.
Some foreign sales were submitted
to the committee in charge of all Of
ferings and ii was understood they
were approved. Total sales of the
session amounted to $1,358,000, par
value, which was considerable, and
the normal.
Issues which sustained the greatest
losses included Northern Pacific 3's,
Southern refundings, Westinghouse
