cause he will not be in the House. Rep
resentative McAndrews may feel that
he has a chance to move up In some

sentative Carr, second man on the pen

BATHS AND LIBRARIES

"The public bath should go hand in hand with tne public library" the president of New York De- parmeut Of Health.
 Bathing is necessary to the maintenance of good health and 1t is the desire of the Department of Health to encourage it in every right way" He then proceeds to warn the public against waters polluted by sewage as the germs of typhoid and some other diseases can be communicated not only by drinking but by bathing in contaminated waters
 It's an interesting suggestion to place baths and books together for public consideration More and more opportunities for health and growth both mental and physical are needed by all American communities Irs as well also. to heed the warning in both cases The streams and pools literature are sometimes polluted as well as those in which thc body bathes and when they are wclean they are no less dangerous. Some times both librarians and health officers are mistaken and close on harmless waters but the general trend is toward a sensible protection in both cases
 The need is for wholesome and inyiyorating cleanliness both for mind and body
