CLEAN TOWEL LAW
WILL Be ENFORCED
Announcement Is Made by the
State Board of Health.
STYPTIC PENCIL PROHIBITED
Under the Rules in This State, Bar
bers Are Allowed to Use Alum
Only as a Powder or
in Liquid Form.

Madison.-The use of common face
towels on different customers in bar
Der shops must stop or prosecu-
tions will be instigated, accord
ing to announcement by the state
board OF health. Inspectors report
ed it is common practice in
many shops to use one face towel
on several customers, and some
times during the entire day. This is
strictly prohibited by the state rules.
No barber has ever attempted to de-
fend this unsanitary practice. and the
board is unable to understand why
customers permit the repeated use of
dirty, soggy and germladen towel on
their faces. A clean towel must be
used for each customer, as well as
neck towels and ash rags when en-
ployed. Rinsing in hot water is not
sufficient all towels after being used
must be thoroughly Numbered before
being used again. Dipping towels
in receptacles containing hot water
and using them on customers is
also unsanitary and is forbidden. The
hot water becomes heavily germ
laden.
If a barber is not equipped to do
his own laundry work, or is financially
unable to purchase the required sup
ply of towels. arrangements can be
made with any of the towel supply
companies to buy an adequate supply
of clean towels at a rate not exceed
ing 60 cents per 100, which is less
than one cent apiece.
Sanitary science knows no easier
way of transmitting communicable
diseases, especially certain loathsome
diseases and BARRIERS itch, than by hot
towels applied to the face, unless
clean towels are used on each Gus
toner. When the face is inflamed or
broken out, or contains pus, the same
towel used on a second person with
out thorough laundering is extremely
liable to transmit disease.
The use of the styptic pencil or
lump of alum to stop blood flow in cuts
is prohibited. Germs in blood from
easily transmitted to the next Gus
toner. 1t has been shown that nj
trate of silver, which is one of the
most powerful caustics, is not suffi-
cient to destroy the infectious agen-
cies that adhere to it after it is ap-
piled to an infected sore. Therefore
the repeated use of any ordinary styp-
tic in barber shops is unsanitary and
dangerous. The rules allow the use
of alum as a powder or in liquid form.
The use of finger bowls, sponges and
powder puffs in barber shops is also
forbidden as liable to convey conta-
gious elements

DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS
When the Joy of Your Riddles
Brings Tender Memories of
Years Ago.

In these strenuous shopping days,
writes Louis James, have you caught
yourself remembering suddenly, in all
sorts of queer, unexpected places, all
sorts of queer, half forgotten things?
Have you remembered how these days
before Christmas are the wonderful
days in the life of the child, more
wonderful days, perhaps, than any
that are to come?
You know that yourself. You can't
help recalling how time went by those
days before the great day. You re-
member how each day seemed some
how more wonderful than the one be-
fore, each day prelude of real joy
to that first marvellous moment of
Christmas morning, when, after a
night of little if any sleep, you scram-
bled up and stood breathless on the
threshold of the room which had been
forbidden you all those interminable
hours that went before.

BIRDS HOLIDAY DAINTlES
YeIIow-Lea Snipe Travels Some 5000
Miles for Christmas Dinner
Robins Like Holly Berries.

The yellow-leg snipe travels a NAV
| ter of 5000 miles to get his Christ
mas dinner. 1t is pretty nearly the
longest journey made annually by any
living creature, and the object of it
seems to be to procure certain DAM
ties in the way of aquatic insects and
crustaceans appropriate for holiday
fare.
One might say, however, that the
most appropriate of Christmas din
ners is eaten by the robins which at
this holiday season feed largely upon
the berries OF the INDEPENDENTLY
upon the berries of kind OF holly
called the black alder, which are as
bitter as quinine.
Another bird which has an interest
ing Christmas is the hooking bird.
He is a planter of the mistletoe ber-
ries and mistletoe berries contribute
largely to his Christmas dinner. Be-
ing particularly fond of them he Incl
dentally. though without intention
carries the seeds to tree branches
where they promptly fasten them
selves and sprout. In this way the
parasitic plant is widely propagated
in Texas, which is the principal win
ter resort of the Knockers.
The canvasback duck breeds in the
far North, from Minnesota to the
Arctic circle, in the interior. But the
call of Christmas turns it southwark.
and it spends the holidays along the
southern Atlantic coast, from the
Chesapeake to Cuba. 1t feeds on vari-
Gus aquatic plants, but the piece de
resistance of it's Christmas dinners is
wild celery-a succulent, water veg
etable which gives to it's flesh flavor

The wild Canada goose goes all the
way to Mexico in winter, spending
Christmas among the lakes in that
far southern latitude, where nutritious
grasses and water plants are plentiful.

PRESIDENT AND
MRS. GAIT WE'D
Simplicity and Good Taste Mark
Ceremony at Home of
Bride.
ONLYRELATIVES ARE PRESENT
No Fuss and Feathers at the Wilson
Wedding-Bride Is Attended by
Sister-Spend Honeymoon
in the South.

Washington, Dec. 18.-Oficial and
social circles here never saw more
quiet wedding than the nuptials of
President Wilson and Mrs Edith
Boiling Gait, this evening, in the un-
pretentious Gait home at 1903 Twen-
tieth street.
Only members of the immediate
families witnessed the ceremony.
William G. McAdoo was the only cab
met officer present, and he was there
as the husband of the presidents
youngest daughter. Even with the
limited number of guests, the house
was packed, for both bride and bride
groom have many close relatives.
The bride was attended by her sis
ter, Miss Bertha Boiling of this city.
She was attired in a travelling costume
and carried a magnificent bouquet of
orchids. AS a selected orchestra
from the Marine band played the we'd
ding march she met the president in
the hallway outside the parlors and
together they went slowly down to the
great altar of flowers erected at the
east end of the rooms. The wedding
ring used was a plain gold circlet
marked with the initials of the bride
and bridegroom.
Keep Hour a Secret.
In order to avoid the crowds of curl
Gus folk in Washington the hour of
the wedding was Kept secret until late
