} Disease germs lead a hand to mouth existence If the human race would learn to keep the un- washed hand away from the mouth many human diseases would be greatly diminished. We handle in- fectious matter more or less con- stantly and we continually carry the hands to the mouth. If the hand has recently been in contact with infectious matter. the germs Of disease may in this way be in- troduced into the body. Many per- sons wet their fingers with saliva before counting money, turning the pages of book or performing sim liar acts.

I have been ali in the air as to
what New York intends to do with Lee
Magee. The chances are that he will
play more h 100 games in the out

not a good second haseman, and is a
great outfielder. I believe that when
Donovan learns all about him he will
stop the infield playing and fall back
upon his. weaker hitting but clever

seems to be a cOrking man if he lights
somewhere in a steady job.

He showed a fine spirit in trying to
