imported ancestors can now be pur-
chased for a million dollars The great
trouble with these imported goods is
the fact that they are often badly in
tested with descendants Some Of the
very finest ancestors have been almost
ruined by these parasites and there is
no real cure
In England everybody has ancestors.
Some of them are over 1000 years old,
and are still in a state Of excellent
preservation. The best American
brand came over in the Mayflower

- - y the theory that bacteria do
not survive long outside the
human body. except under
the most favorable conditions we are
doing less fumigating than ever before
in FL Paso." said DIT. ". c. kluttz, city
health officer. The theory that there
is little merit in fumigation is steadily
gaining ground among the physicians
of the country" he continued, but /
am not prepared TO take the position
that fumigatiOn should be abandoned in
all cases For instance, we are still
fumi eating in cases Of diphtheria and
scarlet fever, and we always fumigate
after a case Of smallpox We do no
fumigating in cases Of measles. unless
requested to do so by the people OF
after a case of tuberculosis unless the
department is paid for the work
1t is generally agreed among physl-
clans that typhoid fever contaE1On IS
communicated by discharges from the
body Of the patient, that scarlet fever
IS communicated through discharges
from the throat, and perhaps the nose
and the ear, and diphtherlas through
discharges from the mouth and throat
1t is not believed that the germs lodge
in the room and are alive after the
patient has died or recovered, and
therefore il is regarded by many that
fumigatlon is useless operation
Sunshine, it is pointed out will more
thoroughly cleanse the room Of any
germs that might lurk in the curtains,
carpet or cracks
There is unquesJiOnably a great
deal Of merit in these new theories
The New York health department over
a year ago discontinued fumigatiOn
after cases OF diphtheria. scarlet fever.

ralysis This year the department has
discontinued fumigation in all bOrOughs
except Brooklyn, in order that compari-
sons might be made. It is stated that
