COMMON wAsHRAG DANGEROUS.
More of Menace to Public Health
than the Common Towel.

The United States Public health SER
vice and the various state and local
boards of health have taken adequate
measures for the abolition of that dis
tributer of disease germs, the common
towel Now comes the news that the
common washrag is even greater
menace to health. The hotels and pub
lie hostelries have recognized this foI
some time and have supplied their
guests with sterihzed wash cloths in
individual scaled packets. The damp,
sour smelling washrag still exists,
however, in many private bath rooms.

quently not wrung ont at all, II is OF
ten hung over a rack or radiator
near an open window, there to collect
dust and dirt. Frequently the Same
washrag is used by the entire family,
thus affOrding an easy means of trans
ference of mouth secretions from per-
son TO person.
In many households each individual
has his own wash cloth and his individ-
ual towel, but these hang so close to
one another that there is ready inter
change of bacteria. Each individual
should have his own wash cloth 1t
should be thoroughly washed out with
clean hot water after use. 1t should
be then wrung as nearly dry as posi-
| bic, and if possible hung in the sun to
| dry. 1t should not come in contact
| with other wash cloths. In the inves-
Itigations the United States public
health service is conducting in regard
| to the prevalence of trachoma it has
| been found that common towels prob
| ably acted as 2 medium of distribution
! of the germ of disease.

has been fled by Tax Commissioner
Charles A. Plumley of Northfeld with
the state treasurer, the fling be-
ing made about 80 days earlier this
year than in other years. Commits
sioner Plumley explains this is due to
the fact that listers and town clerks
have co-operated with the state tax
department far better than formerly
and information has been much easier
to obtain.
The grand list of 1915 over last
year has increased $4,000 in round
figures, an increase being noted in the
valuation Of real estate and taxable
polls, but decrease being reported in
the valuation of personal estate.

some time felt that it, would be a
great mistake if through any misinfor-
nation or indifference our people came
to lean on the generosity Of Mr..
Vail for the support of such an insti-
tuition and fell into the way of not do
ing very much for it themselves. OF
course. it is natural enough to drift
into such way and the beginning of
the drift is not always inspired by any
cool calculating intention to Ework y
a rich man, but however honest the
beginning, you and I know from OBJ
servation that it is easy enough to
let a matter get to the stage where
that is the effect of it. I would not
blame Mr.. Vail or anybody else fol-
not going down into his pocket to sup.
port a state society whose members
did not try to do their share also. The
very test of an institution in
spired by such principles as those OF
| the Greater Vermont association is the
| disposition on the part of every in
| dividual Vermonter concerned to d.
down for his little share if it is no
more than five cents. When it get
to the point that one man and a few
others have to support such a move
ment, it can no longer claim to be
popular one or representing any awak
ened spirit of general progress.
every sincerely yours,

SCHOOL BUILDING
BOARD OF EDUCATION HAD SES-
SION WITH CONTRACTORS
LAST EVENING.

The board of education last even
ing in session at Sec'y Holdridge's Of
fee conferred with contractors in re-
gard to the proposed high school
building. and opened bids. There
were only two bidders for the work
of Observation-Disclosures Construc-
ton Co. of this city and Gray Con-
struction Co. of Huron. Letting of
the contract for construction was de-
ferred TO enable additional investiga-
ton by the board, and the matter
will again be taken up early next
week.
Contract for plumbing, heating
and ventilating was let to Mayheld &
Breedlove of this city on a bid of
$11,7S0.
Bolton & Sons of Chicago were
awarded contract for furnishing
structural steel. their bid being
$3,749.
Northwestern Terra Gotta Co, of
Chicago, secured the contract for fur
nishing the necessary terra Gotta on
a bid of 1915.
These comprised the contracts
formally let at last evenings meet
ing. Under the terms of the speeif-
cations the board is empowered to Sc
lect the brick to be used in the build
ing, contractors to use the brick Sc
lected by the board. Accordingly.
the board selected brick manufactur-
ed by the Twin City Brick Co, of st.
Paul, Mimi. The brick are known as
rug mixture full range color brick"
They present a rough. corrugated
surface and in color are of somewhat
dull violet. red, brown and terra cot
ia. They are laid in the wall in
"raked joints"--the mortar black and
set in between the brick about a half
inch. The brick are assorted as they
are laid. and the effect in the COM
pleted wall is of a velvet rug" as
described by Sec'y Holdridge. The
surface of the wall will appear rough
unlike any brick work now in the
city. But those who have seer the
brick selected in the walls of a com
pleted building pronounce the effect
very handsome. The brick are ex-
tremely hard and practically indie
structible.
