that towels no matter whsther roller.

agent in the spreading of skin AMI
various contagious diseases.
Towels from many different sour.

to dust and air.
The clean towels accumulate germs
and when to these are added the or.
ganisms which accumulate on the
skin Of those persons using them, the
germ population in the mesles of the
towels Is greatly increased. And this
population. of course, increases each
time the towel is used; also, II the
room Is warm and the towel damp the
increase in population Is much mora
rapid.
Another interesting fact is that the.
manner in which people wash their
hands may influence the number Of
germs on the towel II the hands are
thoroughly washed with soap and.
carefully rinsed, the deposits of germs
on the towels are not SO large. for
the reason that the alkalis and other

It was also found that towels used
in shops, factories, stores and mills
contained many more germs than al
most any other class OF towels, ex-
cept, perhaps, the old fashioned roller

the family, including both children
and adults.
DR.. R~osenburger. therefore, insists
mai many kinds Of skin disease are
spread by the use of common towels.
In his opinion; 1t is almost certain
that If a person suffering from eczema
should use a towel that is later used
bysa healthy person, the latter would
almost surely contract the disease.
And most assuredly, the dirtier the
towel, the greater the danger.
