TOOTHBRUSH CALLED MENACE

Portland. Greg. Aug. 14-At the an
nual convention of the American Osteo-
pathc ASSOCIATE ton here, handkerchiefs
and toothbrushes were denounced as a
greater menace to health than any of
the evils against which the government
ard scientific bodies are battling.
DR.. R. Kendric Smith. of Boston, rector
of the National Department of Public
Health Education, declared these two
articles Of universal use were spreading
disease faster than all the hospitals and
physicians could take care of the cases.
Living germs are found in handker-
chiefs as they come fresh from the do
nestle laundry, he said. and the tooth
brush is a veritable nest for the collec-
ton and propa CATION of all kinds of bac-
terra, which are daily scrntbed into the

NO ACTION IS TAKEN ON
STANDING IN OPEN CARS
utilities Commission Will Take Matter
Under Consideration During
Winter Months.

The Public Utilities Commission yes
terday decided to take no action with re-
spect to the practice of passengers stand
ing between seats on crowded open cars.
The decision was based on the conten-
ton of the railway companies that they
were running their full quota of cars and
that there were comparatively few cases
of passengers being compelled to stand
between seats.
As ten days notice is required for the
holding of a hearing, the commission de-
cided it would be unwise to have a for
NAL discussion of the matter, the end of
the open-car season being so near at
hand. It was decided, however, to give
consideration to the matter during the
winter months. so that some method
might oe devised by next spring of elm
mating the Objectionable practice.
