WASH YOUR HANDS
and KEEP CLEAN
Health Bureaus Valuable Advice
to Preserve Health

u. S. Health Service Wash the
hands Immediately:
Before eating.
Before handling food.
After attending the sick.
After using the toilet.
Disease germs lead a hand to
mouth existence. If the human race
would learn to keep the unwashed
hand away from the mouth many
human diseases would be greatly d.
minished. We handle infectious
matter more or less constantly and
we continually carry the hands to the
mouth. If the hand has recently
been in contact with infectious mat
ter the germs of disease may in this
way be introduced into the body.
Many persons wet their fingers with
saliva before counting money, turn
ing the pages of a book. or perform
ing similar acts. In this ase the
process is reversed. the infection be-
ing carried to the object handled,
there to await carriage to the mouth
of some other careless person. In
view Of these facts the u. S. Public
Health Service has formulated the
above simple rules of personal hv-
giene and recommends their adoption
by every person in the United States.
The government of the United
States is spending time and money
to teach it's people to keep clean
themselves, and apply common sense
sanitary methods to their homes.
Cleanliness is not only akin to God
Illness, but it is akin to good health.
But notwithstanding the high degree
of intelligence of the American
people. we are ~woefully careless In
this matter of public health-so care
less and Indifferent that we will often
place obstacles in the way of officers
to prevent enforcement of health
laws.
This applies to small towns and
farms. In the large cities where
sanitary laws are strictly enforced, a
great deal of improvement has been
made in handling food. in drinking
fountains. in toilets. in burning up
refuse, taking care of sewage. etc.
The greaC problem is how to induce
the people themselves TO insist upon
and practice heaIthful cleanliness.
The doctors always advise it, the
newspapers advocate it. most wo.
men, God bless EN-" practice it,
many public officers would like to
enforce it if public sentiment backed
them up. And-there you are!
So! This Is all good. We admit
it. like we do of any general com.
mems Sc m%anifestly true. But il
gets nowhere, does it? Because we
read it, saw it is all highland then
forget it. In the meantime the busy
fv, mosquito. ant, or other insects,
visit our dirty places and carry dis.
ease.

RED CROSS ASKED TO
stop WORK IN SERBIA
Request to United States from
Austria Hungary Is Cause
Of Surprise.
RELIEF GREATLY NEEDED

Washington, Nov 2o.--Austria-
Hungary has asked the American Red
Cross to discontinue relief work in
Belgrade and in other parts Of north
ern Serbia conquered by the Teutonic
forces, when supplies now on hand
have been distributed. The suggestion
reached here today through Ambas-
sador Penheld at Vienna. The Aus
trian government expressed its deep
est gratitude to the Red Cross for
what has been done and gave no rea-
son for asking its discontinuance.
Red Cross officials here, surprised
at the request, say the work prac.
tiraliy Is at a standstill because oil
thu impossibility Of securing supplies
since Roumania entered the war. The
work will necessarily cease about De.
cember !.
Nearly $4,000 has been contributed
to that section from this country
while 100 carloads OF supplies from
Roumanian relief committees and
efgnty from oWlsb SoiIlHlttces naVe
been distributed by the American
agents. Edward Stuart, assisted by
Charles Fox, has cared for about
$4,000 people In Belgrade. DR.. Ed
ward Ryan has endeavored to reach
about 100000 in the interior.
American relief in southern Serbia
now is thrown into greater impor'
lance by Austria's request and cspe
cially by the advance Of the alice
armies about Monastir. Reports from
that city say 100000 people are ii

the central powers are said to hav,
stripped the city bare Of food ant

TIGHTEN GRIP ON
ROUMANIAN ARMIES
Resistance Weakens as leu
tonic Forces Push Along with
Their Rapid Drive.
BATTLE AROUND MoNAsTIR

London, Nov. 29s-The situation of
the Roumanian armies defending Bu-
charest appears increasingly critical.
Only to the northwest OF the capital
do the Roumanian lines seem TO be
holding at all firmly and even here
the capture Of Curtea de Argos, on
the Argenchu river, although that
point is eighty miles distant from Blu
charest, seems to indicate weaken
ing of the Roumanian resistance in
this direction. On the southwest the
peril is imminent with the enveloping
movement of the central powers
placing their forces within forty miles
of the capital. ~. .-. .,
News dispatches have reported the
Roumanian government and diplo-
matte officials leaving Bucharest for
Jasy, 200 miles northeast of the CAPT.
tai, near the Russian frontier.
The rapid progress made by Gen.
eral Won Falkenhayn's armies moving
east in Roumania, of course has been
largely made possible by the opera
ton Of the Danube forces under Field
Marshal Won Mackensen.
1t still remains to be developed
whether the process OF hanking the
Roumanians out OF their positions is
to be continued by other crossings OF
the Danue still further east. The
southern bank of the river is held by
the central powers to point beyond
Tchernavoda.
That the retreat of the Roumanians
toward the nearer defenses of Bu-
charest is already under way and is
precipitate one, is indicated by to-
days German official statement, which
announces a disorderly retirement OF
the Roumanian forces along the entire
Wallaehian front.
Russians Take Offensive.
Possibly as a diversion in aid of
the Roumanians, the Russians have
taken the offensive near Kirlibaba, on
the Golden Bistritza, in the Carpath-
ians, northwest of the Roumanian
frontier Attacks here, Petrograd re-
ports, netted them the ridges Of
heights east and south of lKirlibaba
and the capture of more than 700
prisoners ..
Berlin says the Russian attacks. de-
livered at many points along the Car
pathian and western Moldavian front,
resulted only in local successes, which
were paid for dearly.
! With the exception of the Rouman-
ian front, none is more active at
present than the Macedonian. What
ever may have been the result OF
heavy fighting there, regarding which
German and entente accounts dis
agree the allied armies do not appear
to have slackened the force of their
offensive in the Monastir region.
Paris today announces an important
advance by the Serbians in which
two heights were captured, notably
one northwest Of Grunishte, east OF
the Cerna river, where an effort is
evidently being made to bring the line
up to a level with that within the bend
OF thes team towards Monastir. Mean
while an advance by the Italians is re-
ported in the region west of Monastir,
where a violent battle is raging, in

make a heavy frame of iron bar an
inch square, and bent in the form of
a circle with V-shaped feet, which he
spiked to the top of the inn, which was
known as the Exchange Hotel of Per-

years after Spafford's death. The
property then fell into the hands of
