MUZZLING THE DANGEROUS SNEEZE
LATEST PRINCIPLE OF HYGIENE
Bv W1LL1AM BRADY. NJ. d.

TNHE Bureau Of Public Health and Hy-
i giene, New York city, has Instituted n
campaign Of education which. If followed
up throughout the country, will materially
reduce the incidence of nose, throat and
chest diseases. The so-called colds have
been running wild through the community
with little effort to prevent them. People
have wifuly shut their eyes TO the con-
tapiousness Of all so-called colds" and
refused to accept the teachings of all
modern authorities, because these teach
ings have seemed to run counter to old
traditional belief namely, that colds"
sore throats and ailments accompanied by
cough were due to weather conditions.
In the propaganda of the New York
bureau excellent use Is being made of GER
tain posters and stamps, The posters
were designed by school children one
depicts a conventionalized black and white
view of two little tots holding handker-
chiefs out before them, and these words
are printed below: If You Use These for
the Sneezes You Will Stop the Dread Dis
eases. Another poster is in colorS. II

sneezing in his handkerchief, and in the
background a person snee2ing open-face
laSnlOn ana Il KNOWING gentleman naSten-
ing to escape from the vicinity. At the
top these words appear: Protect the Pub
lie From Disease--Cso Your Handkerchief
When You Sneeze.
Both posters and stamps may be had
at a minimum cost. Such posters
should be utilized by health departments
everywhere, And every school room
should have one of the posters on dis
play as a continual reminder and lesson
TO the pupils. The stamps may 20

Peace-1916 Model

Look! When ye build a shrine me-

But meath its pillars,
Staggering with weight undreamed,
Place me a warrior with blunted sword,
Who hacked n fervent way

Hmm whose famished ] ngs
