Expec-TO-Rdte as q
Gentlemen Should

A large sign has been placed in
the rooms Of the Michigan Tubercu-
loss association which contains the
following legend: mo man can spit
on the floor and expec-torate as
gentleman"
The pun first made its appearance
in Michigan at the annual conference
Of the Michigan tuberculosis associa-
ton few weeks ago. 1t was brought
from Ireland by John !. Gibson, sec
rotary Of the chamber Of commerce Of
Battle Creek. Mr.. Gibson last year
made trip to the Emerald Isle, and
while there he had his eyes open for
matters Of interest that could be Of
service to the people of Michigan.
Having been informally associated
with Michigan health work for many
years while he was secretary of the
Western Michigan Development Blu
floor attracted his attention and he
jotted it down in his notebook for use
here
The Michigan tuberculosis associa-
ton will make use of il i'm its propa-
ganda against the splitting habit, not
only on the floor but in all public
places. Laws against splitting have
been on the statute books Of most
Michigan cities for many years, but
it is a notorious fact that they are
never enforced. Police officers are
frequently the worst offenders in the
matter Of splitting on walks and
streets.
The only way to make anti-spitting
effective, the Michigan tuberculosis
association believes, is to create "A
popular sentiment against it. If the
general public can be impressed with
the idea that it is against the cannons
of the conduct Of a gentleman TO spit
in public place, it is likely that the
practice can be reduced to a mini
mum. And in this work the eek
to-rate" legend will be widely used
! in Michigan.
