Is disturbed by a mere dip into cold water.
IN patroniLing such a soda fountain you are putting
yourself into direct contact with al the different disease
germs that escape from the hands and mouth and
throat o. perhaps a thousand persons OF whose per
sonal condition and habits YOU know nothing.
Any doctor or surgeon will tell you that nothing less
than hot water and soap diligently applied will cleanse

There Is another serious Indictment against the
average soda fountain. The hands OF the attendants
are a medium which links every customer. whether
healthy or diseased. IN practically personal contact
with all the other customers. Those hands which
handle all tho spoons and glasses and metal holders
and straws through which certain drinks are sipped
which the uteusile are hastily dipped. They are. in
TACT, a clearing house and general distributing DEPOT
for all the germs passed over the counter.
In the hurry OF the rush hour those fingers IN rims
ing the used glass are Just as apt TO hold It by the
rim as In any other way. SO. even n the lips OF a pre-
vious customer have not left upon IL the germs OF some
throat or mouth disease. the fingers Of the hurried
clerk doubtless will have done so. with the addition
OF a collection OF several other disease germs for good
measure.
The palms OF moist. warm hands are Ideal collectors
OF dirt and microbes. Now watch those hands as they
provide your glass OF lemonade with two straws through
which to sip IT, II the clerk IS not too busy he NAV

taken from the original sealed. dustproof package. and
that they are made OF sterilized waxed paper.

Why 1t Is CHEAPER to Build W TUNNELS Than ONE

NGINEER who are preparing plans for driving a
great railroad tunnel in the Rocky Mountains
- have decided that Il will take less time and
probably cost considerably less money TO drive two
tunnels through a mountain than 10 drive one.
Accordingly they have decided TO blast through the
solid rock a pair OF tunnels side by side. Then. after
the work is done, one Of the tunnels will be abandoned
except as II can be utilized 20 help ventllate the other

association, at it's next meeting should confer up
on her the title As the famous old Juklins read
the Bible ''from kver to kiver,' the young man
hereof has read her little book of poems, "A Min
nesota Christmas a copy of which is gratefully
acknowledged. From it's dedication to the pio-
neers of Minnesota typical of Mrs. Stanley to the
lenvoi poem, The End of the TRAIL" it sparkes
with beautiful gems in the pleasing style of her
verse; Aside from tribute to the authoress for
the genuine breath of readiness she has given to her
poems dealing with northern Minnesota, its peo-
pie, lakes and woods, to comment individually on
her poems is the task of critic, for the ordinary
mortal would pronounce them the finest" Ii
there is anyone who ever lived in this grand old
state whose feet would not itch to hit the trail back
after reading this little book of Minnesota gems,
he is too near the grave to be counted. AS gift
to former Minnesota folks, or friend who does
not know of this Eden of today. copy of "A
Minnesota Christmas would be joy. From the
Everglades to the Canadian prairies and from the
palm lined streets of southern California cities to
the board walk at Atlantic City, there will come
a stream of immigration that will overflow Min
