BREAD HANDLING
NEEDS WATCHING
Dixon Says That 1t Is Often
Contaminated Through Care
lessness of People

Bread, no matter how sanitary the
baking process, is apt to be contami-
mated by the carelessness with which
it is often delivered or handled, ac-
cording to DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, State
Commissioner of Health. DIR. Dixon
has been making series of investi-
cations and says:
Even should the process of making
and baking of bread be sanitary, the
loaves are often far from being clean
when they reach the consumer. 1t is
frequently loaded into containers for
the delivery wagon by hands that have
just swept the BILE, curried and har-
messed the horse.
EN- route the driver may divide his
time between the deXterous handling
of the dirty reins or the smoking of
pipe or cigaret. The contents of his
wagon he delivers from house to house
and from shop to shop with hands be-
smeared with dirt from the stable,
horse. harness and mud or dust from
the road.

his germ laden hands he takes loaf

DIXON WARNS ALL
OF WATER DANGER
Pollution Is So General That
People Are Liable to Be
Made Ill by Streams

The importance of knowing what
water we drink is urged by Dr. Samuel
C. Dixon, the State Commissioner of
Health, in a weekend interview. DR..
Dixon says that the streams which
used to furnish such excellent supplies
of water are now so polluted by care
less people that they are apt to be
dangerous.
The commissioner says:
Our streams once undefiled by man
ran from the mountains to the sea in
all of Natures purity. They ran
through our valleys and meadows in
all their pristine beauty and offered to
all animate nature that which would
innocently quench the thirst of man
and beast and help them live. To-day
it is not so. Man relentlessly, regard
less of his brother down stream, now
throws his waste and that of domestic
animals into the waters flowing near
est his home.
In that with which Nature has en-
dowed much of our territory more
richly than many other countries, we
now find lurking poison has been hid
den, in some cases only to be seen by
the aid of the microscope.
Now is the season when we travel
through the country to be happy and
lay up energy and strength for the
toll of the coming winter. Alasi The
want of intelligence and care makes
us deaf to the teaching of preventive
medicine and we quench our thirst at
the stream we run across regardless of
its purity, and often the sparkling tum-
bier of water is only to be compared
with the draught of the deadly hem
lock. The parched lips have been
moistened and the thirst satisfied. but
the day of judgment too often comes
bringing the development of typhoid
fever, which in years past we could
only compare with some of the plaques
chat ravaged our ancient cities.
Those of us who collect, tabulate,
and have ever before us the statistics
that show the suffering and sorrow
that still continue from typhoid fever,
beg you to awaken to that which caus-
es so much distress. BY proper care it
can be avoided.
Never drink out of an unknown sur
face stream When travelling see that
pure water is carried along as well as
food. otherwise the harvest of sickness
and death will follow and defeat the
object of summer vacations.

piled mass of glistening hair that
graced Miss Rooneys head.

the other advised with a laugh. You

YOU, If you'd fix your hair that way
you'd be some class. For you're mighty
good looking. in spite of your plain

Before Agnes could reply the door of
the office opened and the other mem
bers of the force came hurrying in.
Agnes watched them, as. after remov-

selves at their various desks and type
writers.

One of the clerks, slim, light
haired youth, chucked Annie Rooney
under her rounded chin as he passed.

joyously. Up carly this morning, as

Agnes asked the question impul-

at her indiscretion.
For a moment Miss Rooney re-
sarded her in surprise. SO" that
young lady then remarked slowly. you
have sized him UP already, have you?"
I think perhaps I have" Agnes
admitted with some timidity. But of
course I do not know anything about
him. That was only fancy of mine"
He is holy terror" the Irish girl
said confidently. sinking her voice to q
whisper. Hes never bothered me.
Its good for him that he hasn't. I'd
poke him one as quick as a wink. But

As she spoke the rotund form of
Mr.. Bainbridge appeared in the outer
doorway. He was clad in a Spring suit
OF light gray and carried a bunch of
flowers in his hand.

busy herself with her typewriter as
the man approached.

into the inner office. She hoped that

At $50 on the second morning of

Agnes Morley was elbowing her way
out of the packet subway train at
Fulton street.
She had awakened early and had
lain wide-eyed for a time thinking of
Phil, then, finding that sleep had de-
serted her permanently, she had arisen
and helped her protesting aunt in the
preparation of breakfast.
But, dear child" Miss Lucy Morley

AS she Joined the throng climbing
the subway stairs to the street the
girl thrilled a little. thinking for the
hundredth time that she was at last
self-sdpporting.
All about her were workers-gray-
haired men, slim, hurrying youths,
women of almost every type and age
detachment of the workers of a
great city, all a part of the vast army
of fighters for a decent living.
And l am one of the huge hash,"
Agnes reflected eXultantly as. reaching
the street, she turned toward the tall
building where Hale & Bainbridge had
their offices.
The elevator which bore her aloft
also carried the red-haired lad who
acted as guardian of the outer gate in
the firms offices. He grinned and
nodded as he met her eyes.
You're kinder early, amt you?" he
commented.
Not so very early" the girl told
him. 1T is twenty minutes of nine
now"
Huh" he snorted. You'll get over
that early habit quick enough. The
crew in this place never shows up till
just I'VE minutes before nine. We all
know that the big boss sets here at
five minutes 10 nine. sharp. I don't
guess he's varied = minute in a year.

The girl only smiled in reply and
followed him into the office. She had
divested herself OF her hat and coat,
and after opening her machine and
geJting her papers and pencils ready,
had returned 10 the outer office, when
Annie Rooney entered.
For goodness sake, kid" the new
arrival exclaimed after returning Ag-
