BACTERIA FIGHT
GROWING SPORT
SAYS CUP FIRM
Disease Spread by Drinking
From Common Water
Containers.

Getting the best of the microbe is
a growing sport"
OF course, there is a reason. The
rapid growth of sanitary drinking
services, to be explicit. is due to
several reasons. according to thu
Lily Cup & Speciality Company.
Bacteria is everywhere.
They float in the air. They live
in clothing and inhabit pencil tips.
They spread themselves over folks
fingers and particularly find dwelling
places in peoples mouths. They
especially ~colonize on moist tumblers.
This last location as particularly
significant as its explains the
American drinking cup laws.
The common drinking cup is out
lawed most everywhere.
Recently DIR. Goldwater, commits
sioner of health of New York City,
said:
Investigation has proved that
certain infectious diseases are spread
by the public drinking cup, from
which many persons drink and
which is never sterile.
archaeological examinations Jot
the moisture left on the edges OF
public drinking cups demonstrated
quite fully the danger of transmits
sion of diseases in this manner. Pub.
lie cups form the best medium of
contact"
This is enough to make the public
look about for individual cups when
they drink in a public place.
Mothers are careful to see that
their children %patronize only places
where they are assured Of sanitary
cinditions. Lily cups are sterilizec
in the process of manufacture as
well as being distinctive individual
cups.i They are always safe and
sanitary.

ST., manager of the Indianapolis
branch.

SERVICE
CARDINAL POINTS
More Automobiles Stolen
Than Ever Before.

Safety and service are two cardi-
nal points in automobile insurance
according to H. "A. Shane. district
manager of the Bull Dog Auto In
surance Association. Alb City Trust
Bldg.
Our company has always main
tanned adequate cash assets and n
clear cash surplus to take are of
the business. A clear cash surplus
means that all possible liabilities
have been charged off and the com
pany enabled to pay its losses on the
basis of jts premium income"
The Bull Dog Association has
been in business eleven years and
has made an enviable reputation for
prompt payment of losses. For the
last FIVE years, according to a report
of Best's Insurance Guide. the Bull
Dog company has an average premi-
UNI income Of $6O7, 9S9. The aver
age payment of losses for the same
period has been 1911, 90S, or a ratio
of losses to premium income of so
per cent.
The Bull Dog Association carries
reinsurance with London Lloyds, to
protect against excess losses, which
is pointed out as another safety
feature for Bull Dog policyholders.
Auto owners. If they are wise. in
sure against fire, theft, liability, col
lision and property damage. Shane
said. He pointed out the small cost
of complete coverage in comparison
to losses resulting from any of the
factors noted. For example. he
showed that while most cars nova
days have theft locks, statistics
show that more automobiles were
stolen last year than ever before.

proposed contract with the Aralga-
mated Association as one party.
GAS the street railway company is
already bound by the terms Of a
contract with its employees that has
been in effect since early in 1914, it
was impossible for the company to
give any consideration to demands
that it sign an additional contract
with the Amalgamated Association.
This company now has no gr!ev-
ances from its employees before it
for consideration. It's contract with
it's men provides an orderly method
by which the men may present any
grievances as to wages or working
conditions to the company and, in
event of failure to obtain satisfac-
ton, bring such grievances before
the public service commission as a
board of arbitration whose decisions
{. are binding and final.
Provisions Carried Out
THE Indianapolis Street Railway
Company has never refused or failed
to carry out the provisions of this
contract and a recent check-up
among it's motormen and conductors
discloses that a majority of them
are ready and anxious to continue
working under its terms.
I'm the Federal Court case. AIS
motoTfnen and conductors filed
~affidavits that they are ready and
willing to carry out the contract
they have with this company unless
prevented from doing SO by strikes.
"Of course the leaders give as a
reason for the strike their claim of
insufficient wages. A few days ago,
when a number of men appeared In
my office asking reinstatement after
being discharged by the superin-
tendent, l asked them to tell ME the
weekly wages paid them on an
average. Some of the answers were
Earnest Miner, S2S a week.
sJess Young, S23 a week.
ED Tone, $3.50 a week.
u. F. Fort, $25 a. week.
"Curtis Johnson, $50 a week.
.'William Schnarr. $28 a week.
"Chester Re- nck, 1872 a week.
These wages are typical of the
earnings of men who have been in
the service some length of time and
who work steadily. And it is not to
be forgotten hat the work is con-
tinuous throughout the year, so that
the basis of annual earnings will
compare favorably with other occu-
patfons requiring no greater quail
1cations. experience and skill" ;
Striking street car men received
strict warning from Boggs to refrain
from acts of violence during the
Strike.
I'VE must obey the law and there
must be no attempt to destroy prop
erty OF, the company or commitiacts
Of violence" Boggs declared, as the
striking employees left their meeting
to spread the strike tidings to their
fellow workmen.
1--WE need public sympathy in this
strike and we must all warn our
brothers to discourage participating
IN any unlawful acts against the
company" he said. whenever you
see any of our fellows about to
start some rough work, it's your
duty to step in and persuade them
to halt"

War Gas Protection
for Local State Bank

Through arrangement with
the Government Chemical War
fare Service, one of Uncle Sans
most effective warfare weapons
becomes available to banks for
the purpose of preventing bur-
glary of safes and safe deposit
vaults. The State Bank of Red
wood Falls has adopted this de-
wise for the further protection
of the funds and valuables left
in it's keeping.
The particular gas used for
this purpose is known as c N
Federal Tear Gas - against
which no gas mask affords any
relief. Only a very small guam
tity is necessary to render a
room or bank vault untenable
for many hours. 1t is not
poisonous nor deadly, but in
stantly blinds whoever is ex-
posed to its vapOrs as long as
they remain in contact with it.
1t does not cause permanent in
jury.
The method devised for the
utilization of c N for bank vault
protection is such as to make
it entirely safe for everybody
except the yeggman who, arm
ed with his acetylene torch, has
heretofore found little difficulty
in cutting his way thru the
thick steel doors Of vaults and
money safes.
