WASHRAG CRUSADE
IS NOW UNDER WAY
Health Service Makes Official
Announcement That Cam.

Now comes the crusade for the ex-
tinction OF the common washraF.
Having swatted with a large measure
OF success the common towel, the Pub
lie Health Service has found a new
target in it's companion piece. the wash
rng.
In an official announcement today,
the Public Health Service, modestly ad-
fnitting a large success In its campaign
against the common towel and the
roller towel. says:
NOW comes the news that the COM
mon weshrag Is an even greater men,
acn to health.
Inc hotels and public hostelries have
recognized this for some time, and
nave supplied their guests with steril-
ized washcloths in individual sealed
packets The damp. sour smelling
"ashras still exists, however in many
private bathrooms. Imperfectly wash
ed out after use, frequently not wrung
out at all, 1t Is often hung over a rack
or radiator near an open window,
there to collect dust and dirt. Free
| quently the same washrag is used by
| the entire family. thus affording an
| easy means of transferrence of mouth
secretions from person to person. In
| many households each individual has
| his own washcloth, ana his individual
! towel. but these hang so close to one

OF bacteria. Each individual should

| be thoroughly washed out with clean
hot water after use. 1t should be then
"rung as nearly dry as possible, and
If possible hung in the sun to dry. 1t
| should not come in contact with other
| wash cloths. In the investiga tions the
: United States Public Health Service is
! conducting in regard to the prevalence

common towels probably acted as a
medium of distribution OF the germ of
