DANGER in FOOLISH CUSTOM
Those Who Bite Penholders In Public
Use Are Hereby Warned of
Possible Infection.

That the penholder, such as most of
us frequently use in hotels. pos. of
fees, banks ana other public writing
rooms may be as deadly carrier OF
disease germs as the roller towel and
public drinking cup, is the suspicion
for which the boards OF health be-
lieve they have found ample grounds.
The next time you use one of these
public penholders you will notice, ii
you examine 1t carefully, that the
wooden handle is covered with little
dents. These dents are the imprint
of the teeth of persons who have used
the pen before you: and as the mouth
is the favorite port of entry for dis
ease. each dent is usually full of mi
crobes.
To expose yourself to sickness and
death, therefore, all you need to do
is to bite on the penholder. Every
time you do this. you take into your
mouth the germs which scores OF
other persons have left by similar
bites.
Health officials plan 10 secure legis
lation abolishing the public penhold-
er. In the meantime they urge the
public to try to break itself OF the al
most universal habit of holding pen
in ones mouth while folding a letter
or plotting check.
