The boiler explosion ia heavy CON
tributor each year to the country's list
OF deaths from accident. When boil
ers explode on steamships or locomo
tiyes or in factories loss Of life almost
invariably results. With perfect con
struction and proper care obviously
such fatalities would be very largely
decreased. Blame belongs somewhere
IN nearly every case, and II Is either
faulty construction or carelessness
Investigation should be more rigid ID
this class of accidents and vigorous
effort made to reduce the number.

healthier commonwealth. He 10 con.

To each county health officer DR..
Rowan has sent 4 strong letter, re.
quiring personal inspection of each
town, in each county, and accompany.
Ing the letter blank for their inspec.

reported, not later than July Is. next.
Incorporated in this general letter
u the following paragraph
These reports make up . big part
Of your record. At the last board Of
health meeting, these records were
called for, and III some instances are
proving to the board that many health
officers are careless or Indifferent
while several have neglected this duty
entirely. Let me impress upon you
the necessity Of promptness and eff.
cheney, II you would have your record
straight In this office.
Dr.. Rowan IL also taking steps to
have the recent order Of the board re-

CARRYING MONEY

II Is interesting to observe how men
81 different nationalities carry money
upon Their persons. The Englishman
carries gold, silver and copper all
loose in his trousers pocket, pulls out
q handful OF the mixture In an opuleu,
way and selects the coin he needs
Inc American carries his money in
pretty much the same way, although
the wallet has always been a favor,
lite with many Americans. Many per.
sons OF perhaps too liberal tendencies
are wont to say that the carrying OF
a pocketbook Is indicative of a tight"
disposition on the part Of the owner.
lhen, too, there are those who declare
that pocketbook is more easily lost
than is roll of bills. The Frenchmap
makes use of leather purse with no
distinguishing characteristics. but the
German employs one gaily embroid
cred in silks by the fair hands of some
Lottchen. Many South Americans
carry their dollars In a belt with Gun
ningly devised pockets to battle the
would-be thief. Some Of these belts
are quite expensive. The italian of
the poorer class ties his little fortune
In gaily colored handkerchief Sc
cured with many knots, which he Sc
cretes In some mysterious manner
about his clothes. A similar course
Is followed by the Spaniard, but the
lower class Russian evinces pref
erence for his boots or the lining of
mis- clothes as hiding place for his
money.
