this question of grave Importance"
Well say it is! This idea Of a
president OF the United States
smoking q cigarette! Why, every
prejudiced. narrow-minded fanatic in
the country will say he ought not do
it. even including Miss Lucy Page
CASTOR. of Chicago. superintendent
OF the international anti-cigarette
league.
But 1t seems to us the president of
the United States should be permitted
smoke a cigarette, and that any 9TH
er man should have the same privi-
lege. A fanatic is a fanatic, how
ever. and they do not see it that way.
They don't smoke cigarettes and
therefore they think nobody should
We have always been an advocate of
prohibition, but not fanatic on the
subject. We have never known any
objection to Il man taking a drink if
he wished to. but there were many
men who couldn't take a drink: they
had to take drinks, and prohibition
had to be. Well, cigarettes don't
make man do the things that liquor
makes him do.

from the monotonous cadences of
productive time. Whether it was
duty or destiny that had enmeshed
him to the machinery of his plants,

By q Rcd Cross Nurse,

Germs are passed. around in two
ways-either in public. as through
milk, water, food or insects, or in
private ways, of which the human
hand Is the most important. Milk,
water, or food which is not kept COW
cred or which has been Infected with
the germ of some disease may spread
this disease through a whole COM
munity.
Insects which feed on decayed fruit,
vegetables or food which are spoiled
or infected by germs, may spread
disease to hundreds of people. For
this reason. garbage cans should al
ways be kept tightly covered, ann
discharges from the body of a person
who has a germ disease should be
destroyed or thoroughly disinfected.
Left over food from a patient who
has a germ disease should never be
eaten by anyone else. 1t should al
ways be burned, and q. liquid food
left on the tray should be boiled ten
minutes before 1t is emptied.
OF the private ways the human
hand is by far of the most impor-
tance. After handling a patient the
greatest are should be taken to
scrub the hands Immediately.
Many people wonder why purses
and doctors often escape contracting
the diseases that their patients have.
It Is partly because they underyaha
how very important it is to washF*the
hands, using soap and water and
brush. and sometimes also a disin-
fectant after handling anything that
might be infected by the germ Of that
disease.
