This is the age of standards. We
are no longer content to buy at hap
hazard. A hat is not just a hat nor
is one package Of meal just like an
other. We buy by names. Certain
names or trade marks stand for meas
ures of value. We ask for what we
want and insist on getting it. The
advertising in newspapers like The
Gate City Is a great standardier. 1t
brings the names and brands to the
attention Of buyers and make the
initial sale that determines future re-
1ations.

DiPHTHERIA GERMS.

It has long been known that diph-
iberia germs are present in the Threats
of many perfectly healthy persons and
that many cases Of this disease may
be accounted for only their Infection
from such Carriers" To what extent
these germs occur among healthy per-
sons has been point that has never
been definately determined, some
workers claiming that as many as one
in every twenty persons carried these
germs and distributed them more or
less Unfortunately. To determine
this point the United States public
health service conducted an investiga-
ton OF the prevalence OF diphtheria
carriers in the city of Detroit during
the winter Of 1894. This investiga-
ton stands as one of the most thor
ough and painstaking researches OF its
kind.
Should this report be read by all
of the inhabitants of Detroit over 4 1000
Of them would recall the visit OF the
Health Officer" who examined their
noses and Threats and took Cultures
from both locations.
In the laboratory the officers OF the
Service examined the sT5s cultures
taken from 4093 persons; five bac-
teriologists examined the ''smears'
from an average Of 1873 cultures a
day. The results Of this examination
were that very nearly one per cent
1928 per cent to be exact-of all the
persons examined was found to carry
diphtheria germs in their throat or
nose or both.
One per cent does not ordinarily
sound large to the average person, but
let us see what 1t means to the in
dividual In time OF epidemic preva-
lence probably one in every hundred
persons he meets has diphtheria
germs in his throat and in all proba-
bility on his hands and clothes as

THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

Most people seem to feel hard
words more than hard deeds, and are
more upset by insults than by actual
injuries. What we do to an enemy in
war is done from necessity, but the
evil we say of him seems to arise from
an excess of spite.-Plutarch.
