larly known as @colds," are far and away
the most frequent. When person, like
the lady who read books and magazines
in her dusty attic, shows persistent ten
dency to "catch cold," it is generally safe
to assume that there is repeated exposure
to some source of dust infection, with an
unusual susceptibility to react badly to
it. There even is reason to suspect that
infected dust is the one great cause Of
most 3colds." Certainly it is significant
that arctic explorers, no matter how low
the temperature, are quite free from colds
until they leave the dustless air of the
arctic and return to the dusty air Of civ
ilized life.
Causing trouble in nose and throat,
infected dust is also, as indicated by the
second Of our illustrative causes, pro-
ductive at times of serious stomach symp-
toms. At present it is impossible to say
with any definiteness to what extent dys-
pepsia, that common disorder of our Amer
lean city life, is brought on by swallowing
least contributing cause in innumerable
cases. The harmful action Of dust in
fection is likewise discernible in some
cases of so-called rheumatism. The
germs inhaled get into the blood to pro-
duce all manner Of muscular pains and
aches. Doctor Hessler-who has studied
the medical aspects Of dust infection
more closely, perhaps, than any other
man in America reports several striking
cases of dust-caused rheumatism.
The logical remedy is to enforce sani-
tarv regulations that will minimize the
possibilities Of dust becoming infected.
Many American municipalities have
already enacted anti-spitting ordinances,

A prediction which, it should be added,
was fully vindicated by events.
A young country woman consulted
a physician in nearby city, in the hope
of being cured of severe recurrent at
tacks of stomach trouble. Test her as
he might, the physician could find no
adequate cause for these attacks, until
one day, after he had told her to return
the following morning, she said:
"Oh, could not possibly come back
tomorrow, for know that | shall be ill. !"
4Why do you say that?7 You are feel
ing well now" ''~
"Yes, but always have one of my at
tacks after l have been in town."
The medical man sat up.
as it only after you come to town that
you have these attaeks?" he demanded.
"Yes. AS long as stay on the farm 1
am perfectly Wells But visit to the
city is sure to make me III for some days."
"Still,' said the physician, Il think
that this time you will not be ill. If you
are not, if you are able to come to see
me, shalt know@definitely what is the
matter with you."

do not feel in the least ill to-day. But

Because, the physician explained, "it
was raining yesterday, and there was no
dust blowing about the streets. l sus-
pected what I now know-that you are
a dust victim. Hitherto you have been
coming to town only on fine days. On
those days you have inhaled and swal-
lowed dust infected in all sorts of ways.

the same. Indeed,
there seems to be real mystery about
my colds. At times when I am obliged
to subject myself to conditions which
| am sure will bring on cold, have
no cold at all. Then, when everything
seems most favorable, i will come down
suddenly with bad cold"
She was not delicate-looking woman;
her family history was good; careful
medical examination failed to disclose
any signs of constitutional weakness or
other need for tonic treatment. Puzzled,
the doctor asked her:
"Have you ever noticed whether your
catching cold seems to be connected with
anything you specially do-anything out
Of the routine of your daily life?'
"Why," said she, smiling, II have
thought of that, and to be sure there is
one thing have noticed. But l do not
see how it can possibly be cause of my
colds.'
"And what is it?"
IL have noticed that almost always my
colds come after have been reading"

ain your attic!' the doctor repeated,
astonished. @Why, pray, do you go to
your attic to read?"
Because have lot of old books and
magazines there, and once in while
like to look through them. After l do
this usually have cold. 1t is an odd
coincidence"
Him. growled the doctor. at is
more than coincidence. I'll venture to
say, madam, that your attic has no ven-
tilation, that it is badly lighted, and that
it is seldom cleaned. Am l not right?"
His patient nodded an embarrassed
affirmative. The physician went on:
"Not being cleaned, your attic must
be exceedingly dusty. In that dust are
microbes, which thrive in the attics
gloom. Sunlight would kill them.
@When you handle the books and maga-
zines, this microbe-infested dust rises into
the air. Some of it gets into your nose
and throat. Then you have cold.
aThe remedy is simple. Either keep
out of the attic altogether, or, better
still, have the attic cleaned and keep it
clean. Adopt this second plan, and you
can read in your attic all you please,
with perfect freedom from colds.'

To Housewives

ITO housewives let me offer these few
words of advice:
Remember that sunlight is fatal to
microbes. Therefore let as much sun as
possible into your homes.
Remember that multiplicity Of house
furnishings not merely makes house,
cleaning more difficult, but gives germ
laden dust increased opportunity for
lodgment. Therefore let the house
furnishings be as few and simple as is
compatible with comfort and esthetics.
Remember, finally, that house-clean-
ing in the true sense means the removal
of dust from the house, not simply stir
ring it up in the air to allow it to settle
elsewhere. Therefore, when you clean
house, use vacuum apparatus, damp dust
ers, or other devices that will enable you
to rid yourself permanently Of the dust
that has settled on floors, walls, and arti-
cles of furniture.

for several reasons particularly impure.
Evidently it has been too much for
your stomach. You are supersensitive
to it, and you must make up your mind
to keep out of town on days that are fine
until the city authorities see fit to inn
prove the condition of our Streets"
l have detailed these episodes from
medical experience because they bring
out concretely different phases of men,
ace to health far too lightly regarded
by the general public.
In fact, it is only within recent years
that medical men themselves have really
begun to take into account the disease
producing possibilities of street dust and
house dust. To-day, however, dust is u
recognized subject of medical research,
and investigation into its properties has
already brought to light facts of which
everybody ought to be made aware.
And, as suggested by the instance just
cited, it is town and city dust especially
that is harmful to the human organism
The dust of country roads, as general
thing, is annoying rather than dangerous.
What City Dust Is Made Up of
"CITY DUST" says Doctor Charles Bas-
kerville, of New Y ork, who has made
special study of the dust problem, 4con-
sists of pulverized excretions and rejecta
of many human beings and animals, the
waste of hundreds of shops, stores, and
factories, as well as the material which is
worn or eroded from buildings and streets
1t is constantly being subjected to pull
verizing treatment, becoming pulverized
dirt as rule rich in bacteria, being dis
tributed by the winds, suspended in the
air, and distributed promiscuously.
The element of bacteria in city dust
is what makes it particularly dangerous.
And this element, it is important to note,
is largely present owing to the careless
ness of city dwellers themselves, notably
in the way of splitting in streets and in
public conveyances and public resorts.
Fortunately, many of the disease germs
thus set free to become part of the city
dust and to be inhaled with the dust
are short-lived. Sunlight and drying are
fatal to them. But many lodge where
they are not exposed to sunlight, and
some retain their vitality even after they
have been dried into dust. Hence the
danger of disease resulting when infected
dust is inhaled by persons whose resist
i've power is for any reason low.
Strictly speaking, however, as is in
sisted by one authority, Doctor Robert
: sHessler, of Indiana, general ill health
rather than any specific disease lis the
usual immediate result Of dust infection.
The specific diseases that are positively
known, to develop directly from the in
haling Of infected dust are few in number,
but of most serious character, including
as they do tuberculosis, pneumonia, and
.diphtheria. But the diphtheria' germ, the
pneumococcus, and the tubercle bacillus,
even in city dust, are present with far
less frequency than certain obscure germs
which act,swith varying virulence on diff
ferept parts Of the organism to produce
symptoms Of i'll health rather than out

~The specific diseases thar dereiop
from inhaling dust include tubercu-
Losis, pneumonia, and diphtheria."
and many have put into practice im-
proved methods Of street-cleaning. But
public cooperation, based on growing
appreciation of the dust evil, is indispen-
sable if American city streets are ever to
become virtually dustless. And it is more
than question of keeping streets clean:
it is also question Of keeping clean our
street-cars, railway-coaches, and other
vehicles, churches, theaters, offices, stores,
factories, and homes. Everywhere an un-
ending warfare on dust needs to be waged,
warfare which, in these days Of vacuum
cleaners, may be far more easily and
effectively carried on than was the case
not SO many years ago.

THE inspector interviewed Mrs.
Peck on September %, 1915. when she
admitted that she had not perfected
any arrangement TO sell any of these
motifs She refused to give the in
spector the names of the persons to
whom she claimed the motifs were
sold. The inspector ascertained from
correspondence in Mrs. Peck's Office
that she had secured total of 1914
from 957 persons. After first declin-
ing, she finally furnished him with a
list of seventy workers. The inspector
received forty-three replies, with only
one exception expressing themselves as
dissatisfied. The answers to the in
spector's inquiry show that all sorts
of delays have been practised by the
respondent in an apparent effort to
discourage the workers, and that even
If Mrs. Peck carried out her promises

cause of the tedious nature of the
work. In her form letter Mrs. Peck

received 81 were worth 80 cents each.

at is clear from the evidence in this
case and find that the sole object of
this scheme is TO dispose of these out
fits and that it is not the intention of
the respondent in good faith to en-
ploy those who remit the money. This
is scheme for obtaining money
through the mails by means Of false
and fraudulent pretences."
When Mr.. Southerland's charges
were brought to the attention of John
J. Jordan, of 115 Broadway, one of
Mrs. Peck's attorneys, yesterday, he
said:

March. | can see no reason why this

One Man Missing and 26 Hurt
in du POnt Plant.

Haskell, N. j., June 13.-The Euro
pean war added at least four more
men to its long list of American vic
tins to-day, in another explosion
at the Du Pont Powder Company's
plant here. One more workman,
known only by his number, is miss
ing, and twenty-six other men are
injured.
Since the beginning Of the war, in
complete records show that at least
seventy men have been killed and
sixty-eight have beer injured in ac-
cidents at Du Pont Powder Company
plants near New York. An explosion
at Gibbstown, n. j., two months ago
cost eighteen lives; another at WA
mington, Del, on November 30, 1919,
killed thirty-one persons.
The dead in to-day,s accident were
Stanley Brazules, John Thompson,
Henry Friedlander and John Roumlni.
These men were working alone IN a
new powder mixing house, built oil
wood, near the centre Of the big du
Pont plant. Two of them are said to
have been inexperienced in handling
nitroglycerine, and one, IL is believed
moved a cylinder so carelessly that II
exploded. ,,
The tons Of powder in the building
caught fire in an instant. The ligh'
framework was ripped apart like paper,
shattered timbers were thrown IN all
directions and the workmen were
hurled int. the air.
One of the burning timbers smashed
through a smokeless powder warehouse
near by. The powder there was ig,
nited. and the explosion that followed
resulted in the injury of more than
twenty workmen. Sixteen small build
ings. containing 900 pounds Of nitro
glycerine, are said to have been
wrecked

Wallstein Says Quarter OF
Houses Lack Proper Permits.

Assertion that 25 per cent of build.
ings in the city used for the storage OF
combustibles were occupied without
proper permits was made by Leonard
VI. Wallstein, Commissioner OF Ac-
counts, in letter sent Mayor Mitchell
yesterday regarding the audit into the
cashiers accounts of the Manhattan
ard Brooklyn Offices of the Division OF
Combustioles. He reports that
house-to- o-house inspection OF some dis,
tricts was made and that there mad
been a marked improvement OF condl-
tions since 1910.
He suggests that reports should be
made by firemen on their monthly
rounds of buildings.
