Did you ever make a diary OF your

consider the number Of times daily your
unwashed fingers sought your mouth, or

MOUTH
When surgeons discovered that It was
their own infected fingers which carried
germs into wounds, they set about try
ing to discover a way to render their
hands surgically clean, that is, free from
germs. This was found to be impossible
and the surgeons finally took to wearing
rubber gloves which could be boiled.
One Of the great agents In the spread
of those diseases whose germs are pres
ent in the secretion of the mouth and
nose. Is the human bend. II saliva were
bright green we would be amazed at
the color Of our fingers and at the amount
Of 1t which Is about everywhere. As a
matter Of fact. most OF us carry our
fingers to our mouth and nose many
times daily, there to implant the germs
Of disease which other careless people
have spread about. and there to collect
fresh cargo Of infectious material to
scatter for somebody else.
It Is true that most germs OF dis
ease die quickly when they leave the
human body, but our hands frequently
help to make the passage of the germs
from one body to another a very brief
one.
WHAT Is THE ANSWER?
/. Let us try to teach our children (and
ourselvesl TO keep our fingers out Of our
mouth and nose.
2. let us insist upon facilities (hot

thorough hand washing in schools. work

Threaten to Form Vigilance Com

Tampa, May 10.--(SpeciaD -
Flaunting in the faces Of legislators

to the vote of the people the ques-
ton of abolishing the free cattle
laDge their determination to con
tinue the devastating practice of ig-
hitting range and forest fires, range
cattle men, operating in the neigh
borhood of Woodrow, Lee county,
last week set fires that completely
destroyed the homes and outhouseS
of six residents. Not a trace of the
homes remains, nothing being left
but nails, wagon tires, plowshares
and harrow teeth.
These fires were set by range cat
tie men. according to the Fort My
erS Press, in spite of the fact that
the men at the time were asked to
desist from the practice. also after
several houses had been destroyed
and the reply OF the incendiaries was
to laugh at the people who were beg
ging them not to endangpr their
property
Because of this incident the peo-
pie of Lee county including those of
Fort Myers, are not only demanding
the adoption OF a statewide no-fence
law with " teeth in it," hut are
threatening to organize vigilance
committees and to shoot persons
who are guilty Of the practice here
after.
Quoting one of the fire victims, tha
Fort Myers Press says:
Although there is state law pro-
hibiting the setting of grass or
woods fires and providing penalties
for infraction, there has never been
conviction for this offense in Lee
county, to the best of my knowledge.
The cattle men, although in the mi
norlty. always seem to WELD intiu-
ence sufficient to bring about acGuit-
tai, in the rare instances when they
are brought into court.
These cattle men bulldOze wit

have committed perjury when called
upon to testify. 1t is not giving away
a secret to say that number of per
sons who have suffered as | have,
as well as others who as yet are only
threatened with destruction of their
property, are openly talking OF the
advisability of organizing vigilance
committees to combat the criminally
careless and Indifferent cattle man.
The law seems to be hopeless and
powerless to end the fire danger;
now a large number OF homestead.
ers, grove owners, truck farmers and
others are openly urging resort to a

with buckshot.
THE woods fires north OF the riv.
er. after having apparently burned
themselves out Thursday, reappeared
today in several places, and reliable
persons declared last night that they
had seen cattle men and riders going
through the woods setting new fires
as they went"
This incident alone" said Vet l..
Brown, secretary Of the Florida No
Fence League, should cause our leg
islators to vote unanimously for sub
mission or immediate passage of a
real statewide no-fence law. 1t
should at least encourage our people
to demand favorable action upon such
law. Is Florida to be governed by
law-abiding people or anarchy"
