MONEY CARRIES GERMS

Hereward Darlington, Ph. D., in Les
 lies
 The old and dirty paper bills which are now in common circulation, and which even the banks issue, nowa- days Whenever they can), are source of spreading disease germs throughout the country, and have been shown to be a positive menace to the public health. It is time that strong protest was made by the American public against the circula- tion of this dangerous means of ex- change and that strong pressure be brought upon those In authority to see to it that clean money is put into circulation, in place of the diseased and dangerous money which Is now scattered throughout the country.
 Recent experiments in France, con- corning old bank notes and coins have brought to light some startling disclosures For it has lately been proved, by means of micro -photog- raphy, that a multitude of evil-look- ing germs live upon bank notes ana bills, and even upon copper, silver and gold coins! Germs of dlph- theria, tuberculosis and other dis eases have been discovered in this way, and these bills are passed through numerous hands every day.

ETHICS AND ANAESTHETICs

From the Thrift Margarine.
 The dictum of the trustees of Johns Hopkins university in limiting the fees for operations and medical att tention meets with popular acclaim. The high cost of hemstitching the anatomy has reached alarming condl- tions. Similar reforms might in many instances be introduced by oth- CT professions. We heard of a New York man who was recently presented with a bill for s230 for having a wis dom tooth removed. We cannot imag- inc just how such charge was ar rived at, but we imagine that 1t would be necessary for dentist to make up his budget of charges some- what as follows
 To shaking hands with patient. $10.
 To making learned observation about weather, $7,50.
 To asking which tooth it is. s2.25.
 To promising not to hurt. $25.
 To breaking promise, eo0c.
 To strangling patient with towel. ss.75
 To getting out set of tools and looking them over. tl1.
 To noticing they were the wrong tools. $S.
 To stepping out of room and using telephone, s740.
 To washing hands and telling funny story, $5,25.
 To administering anaesthetic, s10.
 To extracting wrong tooth, s5.
 Now that the good work has been started let it be thorough, Each ot Us will agree that every other busA ness. trade and profession has been profiteering lately, excepting our own.

 Prices
By Associated Press


 Greenville. S. C., October 6.-"The open price plan" as worked out by the Knit Goods Association of Amer ica, was explained to the South Caro- lima Cotton Manufacturers associa- tion at their annual meeting here to- day by Capt Roy Cheney, secretary of -he knit goods, association. Such a plan, which permits members of an association to keep in touch with prices of other members was consid- cred by the cotton manufacturers, but the details of the discussion were not made public. It was an- nounced that the matter might be considered by the executive commit tee at a later meeting.
 In his annual address James D. Hammett, president. declared that labor is abundant and more efficient than last year. He decided efforts of labor agitators to create dissen- sion among textile employees in the south and predicted failure for such efforts in this state. Discussing the business outlook, he said cotton mill men may look forward to day filled with more happiness for both employer and employe.
 Officers were reelected as follow {; James D. Hammett, Anderson, pres ident: A. F. McKissick, Greenville, vice president. and Robert W Sulli- van.

BENEFITTED BY UNIVERSITY

Theodore Williams, In Leslie's.
 To certain extent benefits to flu ture business will flow from the travails and liquidations of tho re- adjustment period.
 For one thing, there is being pressed on business men the neces- sity of improving their methods to the highest possible degree. No en- terprise sails long on the sea of sue cess, even in normal times. in which slip shod modes of doing things pre- vail In time of stress like the present. only the utmost prudence, watchfulness. economy and diligence can keep the bark able to continue it's voyage indefinitely. Confessed ly, many American business men have been given to careless. impulsive and unmethodical ways, On these men the pinchings of readjustment have had an educational effect. They have, perforce. been led to discern that with better management they would have come through more satisfactor- fly. There have been too many leaks in their enterprises, too much waste, too much inefYicercy, too much lax ness in the hands that hold the reins. Faced with serious trouble and some times actual ruin, hosts of easy go- ing and unsystematic heads of con cerns, both large and small, have taken the lesson to heart and will handle their af%irs hereaffsl ,ou sounder and safer principles.
 Thus from the tribulation of the past not few captains of industry and commerce will emerge trained to pursue more successful careers. The criterion of business methods In the future will be higher and sterner. Business policies of tomorrow should prove largely more effective, and therefore more beneficial to the com munity than those of yesterday or to- day.
 The exceeding value of foresight has been another of the signal reve- lations of the times.

Paris October 6.--The cost of the United States army of occupation on the Rhine from the date of the armi- stice until April, 1921. was second only to that of France, according to the figures issued officially by the separations commission, which has established gold marks as the stand ard, instead of pounds, francs or ster- ling. The figures follow:

A. E, F. TELEPHONES

From the Telephone Press Service.
 It's an i'll wind which blows mo- body good. Even such an unmitiga- ble evil as the great war is not with out it's alleyiations.
 Thus in France, one of the compen- sating results is the purchase by the government of the vast telephone equipment used by the American ex- peditionary forces. As is well known, the French telephone system prior to war was in almost every respect one of the most backward In Europe. The total number of telephones in 1914 was 33,000 or less than 0.S tele- phones per 100 inhabitants. Much of the equipment was either of an ob- solete type, or so badly maintained that the service even over short dis stances was frequently poor and very unreliable.
 The signal corps of the expedi- tionary forces. with characteristic American thoroughness. had con structed an elaborate system behind the lines, which was gradually eK- tended to keep pace with the army's advances. At the close of the war there were about 10000 telephone in- struments. more than 100000 line insulators. l2,000 private branch ex- changes. 10000 miles of lead sheathed cable, thousands of miles of copper and iron wire, and an enormous num- Der of miscellaneous auxiliary sup plies. such as measuring instruments, line repair tools. etc. All this equip ment absolutely up-to- date in every respect, and of the finest American quality, was acquired by the French government under most favorable terms and at time when material of any kind was practically impossible to obtain. When 1t Is all utilized. 1t will materially improve the quai- ity of the French telephone service.
 But an incidentally more beneficial reaction will be the educative tnflu- ence due to the superior service re- sulting from the use of such modern equipment. It will open the eyes of the French telephone officials not only to the comparatively backward condition of their own system, but also to the desirablity of utilizing and maintaining American standards

Thomas Hefln to address the leg islature at his convenience on the inn perative necessity for road construc- tion work and the improvement Of the port of Mobile, and resolution of coincidence for the death of United States Senator Bankhead.
 Friends of the water works amend ment bill agreed that the measure should go over to next week, where it will again be taken up as spe- cial order. This was accepted by the filibusterens as a victory after the test vote of the morning, which showed 29 opposed to the considera- tion of any measures except the ex- service mems poll tax amendment bill until some relief had been given to the taxpayers.
 However, those who urged an or derly procedure in legislation insist ed that there will be sufficient votes in the house next week to furnish the necessary 64 votes in favor Of the snbmissfoh '"of' the ansendmeness,, Eighty members answered the roll call at the session Thursday morning.

 By @ strange coincidence the Giants lost that game to the Philadelphia Athletics on the same field and by the same score as that of todays contest. Chief Bender did the hurl- Ing for Connie Mack. and 1t was the only game won by the Athletics in the famous shut-out series. At that time, the first of the series in New York 29s2 persons paid $1S,9ss.,
 Of the $115,32o paid today. the players will receive s5S,S13.20; the clubs s39.208.S0, and the advisory board $1T,29S. If interest in the series continues and the play should extend to six or seven games, new total receipts record is almost certain in view of the high prices being charged for both reserved and unreserved seats at the Polo grounds. The pres ent record for gate receipts is held by the 1919 series between the Cincin- natl and Chicago clubs when $722.414 was taken in during the eight games.

 JAPAN WILL NOT ATTACK
 Frederick Moore, who is the for
  stry of foreign affairs. in an ar ticle in the Forum, remarks.
 Especially within recent years, Japan has gone through q period of severe criticism by Americans, some officials as well as a number of newspapers indulging in denuncia- tions of her policies. This criticism while at times justified, has some times gone beyond reason and fair ness. Had the charges, for example. that Japan was prepared to attack the Philippine Islands and the Panama canal been confined to the irresponsible clements in our press, these sensational alarms would have amounted to little; but the campaign went so far that many serious men began to believe there was necessity for naval preparation for defense or our own coast against that remote and comparatively poor country.
