FIVE FILTHY FINGERS.
Keep Your Hand from Mouth and Nose
as Sanitary Precaution.

Did you ever make a diary of your
fingers? Did you ever set down in cold
black and white the things your fingers
touch every day and did you ever con-
slider the number of times daily that
your unwashed fingers seek your
mouth?
When surgeons discovered that it
was their own infected fingers which
carried germs into wounds they set
about trying to discover means
whereby their hands could be rendered
surgically clean. i. e, free from germs.
The whole realm of chemistry was
ransacked for agents which would dis
infect hands, and the scrubbings and
immerslons to which they subjected
their hands are even yet tender In en-
ory to the surgeons of that period.
But all of these efforts proved USE
less and at last IN despair, surgeons
took to wearing rubber gloves which
could be boiled, thus bringing to each
patient, as 1t were, a fresh PAIR of
sterile hands. In other words, try as
you will, you can't, by any known
method, make your hands absolutely
clean.
The great agent in the spread CT
those diseases whose causatlve organ
ism is present in the secretions Of the
mouth and nose, is the human hand !;
and il saliva was bright green we
would be amazed at the color of our
fingers.
As a matter of fact most of us carry
our fingers to our mouth or nose manv
times daily. there to lmplant the germs
of disease which other careless people
have spread about, there to collect a
fresh cargo of infectious material to
scatter for som ebody else.
1t is true that most germs of disease
die quickly once they leave the human
body, but what does the death of few
billion germs matter so long as the
supply is coplous and never ending.
What an enormous number of infect
ed things we touch during the day and
how lnfrequent and cursory are the
hand washings we perform.
The answer Is to keep your fingers
out of your mouth and nose. Thus we
limit the spread of disease from these
orlfices at least, thus we eliminate the
danger OF contracting disease from
someone else who was not quite SO
carefully. s. Public Health Service.

Local High Holds Ellsworth to
Low Score

1t was generally expected that the
crack Ellsworth high school quint
would get by with an easy victory in
their game with the local high here
last Friday night. but, although the
visitors won, it was only by a small
margin, earned by extending them
selves to the limit. Ted Reed, who
has the enviable and we'll earned
reputation of being the fastest play
er and most accurate basket shooter
in the high school circuit, was held
to the unusual low mark of two field
shots by DOC" Peterson. In the re-
cent Ellsworth-Elmwood game Ted
scored Is field baskets. For the past
three seasons his work has featured
in a team composed Of stars.
Long shots by Chinook, and Pet
erson's guarding were the proni-
nent features Of Fridays game.
Ellsworth had lead Of 9 to at the
end of the first half, and the final
count was % to r. The players
were: River Falls-Quinn, George
and Snodgrass, forwards; Chinook,
center; Peterson and Smith, guards.
Ellsworth Reed and Milton
Kruger, forwards; Howard Rice.
center; Chas. McAleavy and Jim
Warner, guards. Jim Richards
refereed, and his officiating was pro-
nounced very satisfactory by players,
coaches and fans.
Ellsworth appears now to be the
strongest contender for the district
championship, and when the tourna-
ment is held here the first week in
March, they will undoubtedly come
in as favorites. They have already
won from Spring Valley, 40-23; from
Elmwood, 45-6; Normal seconds, 30
27; from Prescott, 29-18; and from
River Falls. 22-12.

urday, January 20

The Old Home Singers, who are 10
ill big Lyceum season this year, make
a speciality in their programs of carry
ing their audiences back to childhood
scenes and recollections.
OF the five young artists who com.
prise this company each is a soloist of
pleasing quality, capable of singing the
heart songs. They form a mixed quar-
tet. capable of superb ensemble work,
as is evidenced by their artistic rem
dering of the quartet from "Rigoletto."
That they meet the requirements OF
the program perfectly is shown In the
many reports already received from
committees.
At the opening Of the program the
five young people have just returned
from a musical where song composed
by one of the young men has proved
to be the hit of the season.
Following the congratulations, dis

Miss Crowley Has Resigned

Miss Irene Crowley has resigned
her position in River Falls in order
to accept a similar position in the
Milwaukee Normal school. She
makes this change so as to be nearer
her home which is at GAINESVILLE, Wis.
In her four years of hard and eff
Gent work in River Falls, Miss
Crowley has made a host of friends
who regret deeply and sincerely that
we are to lose her services in the
school and in the community. She is
rated not as assistant or clerk in the
minds of students and citizens, but
as a worthy member of the faculty.
She is woman of high ideals, faith
full in the performance of duty, eff
ficient in her work, dignifed, courte-
Gus and kind in her manner, a wo-
man who merits fully the high es-
TEEN in which she is held in River
Falls. The Milwaukee Normal school
is to be congratulated on securing
her services.
Miss Eleanor SIattery Of Grand
Rapids, Wis, has been elected to the
position made vacant by Miss Crow
ley's resignation. The Daily Report
er in a write-up of her work in
Grand Rapids, commends her in
highest terms to River Falls. The
Reporter says in part: Miss Stat
terry is one Of Grand Rapids, exem-
plary young ladies and belongs to
an old time family, highly respected
in the community. We join with
them and her many friends in Grand
Rapids in congratulations and take
pleasure in commencing her to the
good people of River Falls"

A Dollar Travels Fast During
Pay-Up Week

Did you ever wonder through how
many hands a dollar had passed before
it got to you? It has probably been
used to buy thousands of items and
has been turned, as the expression IS,
literally thousands of times.
At Marietta, Ohio, during National
Pay-Up Week, the Chamber of Com
merce printed large check, two feet
long by eight and half inches wide.
Several of these checks were issued
for one dollar each, with instructions
typewriter on the back to keep the
check moving all through the week.
At the close of the week, the checks
were all turned into the bank and a
careful notation made of how much
each check had paid. One of these had
paid more than $40, another paid $24.
Every one of the checks had covered
many times it's value in payment of
bills. This illustrates probably better
than anything else the principle of
National Pay-Up Week and how eff
fective it is in passing prosperity
around.

Adventures of an Egg

About year and half ago Leona
Kriesel, who was at that time en-
ployed in Woods store, wrote her
name and address and a request
"Who gets this, write" on an egg
being packed for shipment to the
Cities.
Of course the egg got into cold
storage in Chicago and remained
there about seventeen months be-
fore the consumer got it land prob
ably paying 48c per dozen TO r
strictly" fresh eggs. However.
the purchaser of this egg wrote to
Miss Kriesel, stating that the eggs
were fine and Of high grade. Miss
Kriesel thought she would make the
lady Christmas present Of dozen
genuine fresh eggs to show her
what a really fresh product is like
The woman got the dozen fresh eggs
0. K. for Christmas and valued it as
one Of her most appreciated gifts.
Shortly afterward the woman in
vited some of her society friends to
dinner, serving the eggs. which
were the big" dish on the table.
The woman's name is Lillian j.
Storck and Miss Kriesel is invited to
spend her next summers vacation
with the Storck family in Chicago
and to see the wonders Of the big

Attends Plumbers Convention

H. A. Campbell attended the con-
ventiDn of the state Master Plumb
ers' association, held in Milwaukee
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day of last week. The meeting was
featured by a sumptuous banquet at
the Wisconsin hotel.
From Milwaukee Mr.. Campbell
went to Madison, where he was the
guest of his brother-in-law, Earl
Whitcomb, who is practicing law
there. Mr. Campbell, in company
with Frank r. King, state plumbing
Inspector, interviewed Sen. Geo. B.
Skogmo Of this district, in regard to
a proposed amendment to the law
regulating plumbers licenses. AS a
result Of this interview the Senator
will introduce an amendment to the
present law, which if passed, will re-
quire all plumbers in the state to Sc
cure the same license that is now re-
quired of plumbers operating in
cities of 5000 or more population.
While in Madison Mr. Campbell fin
ished some preliminary work prepar-
atory to taking the state plumbers
examination, which will be held by
the State Board of Health next July,
when his period as journeyman
plumber has expired.
During his visit in Madison he wit
messed the demonstration held in
honor of the Madison militia which
arrived home at that time from the
Mexican border.

Superior Plays Here Tomorrow

The Superior normal school bas-
ketball quint will be here tomorrow
friday for a game with Cap. Bet
zel's championship aspirants. From
comparative records the R e d &
White should win, for directly after
their defeat here Stout went to Su-
perior and won AZ to Is.
But the dope doesn't always run
to form, and while Superior appears
to have been an easy victim for
Stout in their first game, they have
undoubtedly profited by the ex-
perience and may turn out to be one
of the strongest teams on the cir
cult 1t will be a game worth watch
ing.
The two weeks following this game
River Falls will play away from
home-at Stevens Point Feb. 2, and
at Superior Feb. 9. Stevens Point
35 to 5 victory over Stout Friday
would indicate that they will make
a strong bid for the pennant this
year.

Jack Milliken's Tires

There is probably no more hopeless
sensation than that experienced by a
motorist who gazes ruefully at a
worn out tire on his own machine.
1t may have been an expensive one
in it's day, and it may have covered
| ITS of miles, or it may not have
tsveled very far. But there it is,
worn to the fabric. useless and hard
ly worth saving out for the junk
man.
But now along comes John F.

And then and there you have the
same tire, as good and probably bet
ter than it was when you bought It.

apparently WORKOUT tire. take a

office is in the Langdon building on

scoring the first basket and adding
two more by the free throw route at
