USE OF FAMILY WASH-RAG

Help the health authorities abolish
the common drinking cup, the public
tower and the family washrag and
you'll reduce risk of epedemies such as
tuberculosis, diphtheria, influenza and
infantile paralysis This is the advice
of Director Krusen, of the department
of health and charities, of Philadelphia,
in bulletin issued Sunday.
There are State laws against the
common drinking cup and the public
towel, but Director Krusen says there
are instances where the laws are not
obeyed. Hence this warning:
"The public is warned to avoid the
common drinking ladels and lineup
which we sometimes see chained to the
public drinking fountain and wells in
parks and summer resorts. Children,
especially, should be cautioned against
their use.
Patronage of street venders selling
lemonade and other soft drinks should
be discouraged because they do not US
ually have proper facilities for cleans
ing the glasses.
Attention is also called to the indis.
criminate use of the family washrag.
Although the likelihood of infection
from this practice is slight, yet the
danger is nevertheless, present, and nc
one can afford to take chances.

A WOMAN'S VIEWS

To THE EDITOR OF THE TRANSCRIPT
have read the replies of the four
legislative candidates to the questions,
asked by our three societies, the Better
Government League, The New Century
Club and the W. T. c. U. Mr.. Pool
and Mr.. Burris say they will vote for re-
submission. and for the repeal of that
iniquitous bottle law. They say this
plainly in few lines, Mr.. Letherbury
and Mr.. Heldmyer take 20 and AZ lines
to dodge the question, trying to con-
ceal their real views in a cloud of
words. don't believe there is voter
in the county fooled by these two re-
fusals to answer; they were asked to
say yes or no. One candidate is afraid
he might hurt his party platform by
putting in a Temperance Plank. The
other says it affects his dignity to
answer our fair questions as to
where he stands on the most important
business that will come before the
Legislature-the Temperance question.
Mr.. Editor do these candidates think, l,
or any mother in the county care
more for their platform or dignity,
than for the life and morals of our hus-
bands and boys?
If we had vote, wound any Mother
of boys who as customers of our saloons,
may become candidates to fill the places
of those who have graduated into sots
or filled drunkards graves, stop very
long to consider these reasons" :?
Would we not vote to give the fathers
and mothers of New Castle County the
right to say whether or not these
licensed pitfalls to destroy young man
hood and womanhood,, body and soul,
called saloons, should be tolerated
any longer? 1t is not a question of
politics, but of right or wrong, ques-
ton, whether and every mother in
this County shall have a chance to keep
our husbands and boys from falling
into the deadly drink habit, or whether
the saloon-keepers shall have better
chance to make money out of the ruin
of our husbands and sons. 1t is ques-
ton of saving our husbands and boys
or the saloon keepers. Shall we let :
question of politics decide in favor of
saving the saloons and not the boys

GARAGE IMPROVEMENTS

Mr.. E. M. Shallcross is making sew
eral improvements at his automobile
garage on North Broad. His fast in
creasing business demands it. He is
building a second and much larger pit in
his machine shop to facilitate the work
of repairing underneath autos.
He has also installed a big shunt-
wound dynamo, lis volts, 17.5 amperes,
made by Robbins & Myers, of Spring
field, Ohio, direct current motor max
ing 1850 revolutions per minute and de-
livering two-horse power or more.
Mr.. Shallcross' business is true in
stance of the embarrassment of
riches" 1t is growing so fast that he
must expand upward or sidewise, or
he'll bust If he cannot get additional
lot room at a reasonable figure he says
ne will have to add story or two to his
present building and put in an auto ele-
vator.
He says his auto sales of the Oakland
car have been large and his repair
trade, gasoline and oil sales have dou-
bled several times, while his garages
storage capacity is constantly taxed to
the limit and often beyond. In his night
watchman and salesman, Mr.. James
Downey, Mr. Shallcross has secured a
treasure for he is equally energetic, in
dustrious and polite. Mr.. Shallcross
has in his brother, Mr.. Ralph Shallcross
an invaluable helper as superintendent
of the sales and repair department,
wherein he is assisted by Messrs. Smith
and Digne, two expert mechanics.
