If tin' human race would learn to keep the unwashed band away from the mouth many human diseases would la' greatly diminished. We handle infectious matter more of leys constantly and we continually carry the hands to the mouth. If the hand has recently heen in contact with infec tious matter the germs of disease may in this way he introduced into the body. Many |>erxoiis wet their lingers with saliva before counting money, turning t'he pitges of a l?ook, or performing sim ilar acts. In this case the princess is reversed, the infection being carried to the object handled, there to await car riage to the mouth of some other care less ]>erson. In view of these facts the United States Public Health Service has formulated the following simple rules of personal hygiene Jind recom mends their adoption hy every person in the United States: Wash The Hands Imtncdiately Beforo eating. Before handling, preparing or serving food. After using the toilet. After attending the sick, and After handling anything dirty.

FARMERS TO FACE DANGER Could Not Market Crops and Losses Would Run Into Hundred* of Mil lion* ? With Factories Unable to Operate Wage-earners Would Suffer From t ho viewpoint of the pub lic it is mi Intolerable .situation when un,v group of men. wheth er employes or employers, wheth er large or small, have the pow er to decide that a groat sect Ion of country ? * ?, shall under go ureal loss of life, unspeak able suffering ami loss of prop erty beyond the power of descrip tion. through the stoppage of a necessary public service. This, however. Is the situation which confronts us as a nat Ion. From the Report of the Eastern Engi neers' Arbitration Board (10121 signed by Charles It. Van Hlse, Oscar Straus, Frederick N. Jud sou, Albert Shaw, Otto N. Eld llt/< and haniel Wlllard. As a result of tho demands for more wages which the train service employes of the railroads have been pressing upon the transportation lines, the country Is face t?> lace with the possibility of the greatest strike and the most serious lndustrliil catastrophe In Its history The engineers, conductors, ilreineu and brakeinen on practically all the rail road lines have voted to pJace their entire interests in charge of a few leaders within Mielr organizations, and to give these leaders authority to call a strike If they wish to do so. What such a strike would mean to the American people cannot bo set forth In mere facts and figures. It can be dimly Imagined by those who real ize what an intimate and vital pyrt transportation plays in every industrial activity of I he country. Citios Would Face Starvation. There is scarcely a person In any part of the land who would not bo im mediutely affected if the millions of .busily turning wheels on our nearly throe hundred thousand miles of rati way wcro to stop for a single day. If the tie-up continued for a week, the blow to the industry of the country would be greater than that caused by any panic of recent history. To the big cities of tho country, and particu larly to the cities of the eastern sea board. it would mean a cutting off of food supplies that would place the In habitants virtually In a state of sle^e In the case of many food products these cities do not carry on hand a stock sufficient to feed their people for more than a week, and in the case of some, such as milk and fresh vege tables, supplies 'are replenished daily. Tho stoppage of transportation there fore, would mean suffering and want to these city dwellers, and if continued for long would threaten many of them with actual starvation. Vast Loss to Farmers. To the farmers of the country a gen eral railrond strike would be a catas trophe, only less serious. Cut off from his market, the farmer could not move his produce, and the price of grain and other staples would be quickly cut in two. while the market value of more perishable articles would disappear en tirely. The strike would make It ex tremely difficult to harvest crops in many sections. It would make the dis posal of the crops impossible, and would inflict losses amounting to hun- ! dreds of millions of dollars upon the farmers of the country. The great industrial plants of the country would soou bo rorc6d to close ' down following the declaration of a strike because they could not obtain supplies needed for their operation, nor could they ship their finished products to market Their plants would soon be idle, and millions of mon would be thrown out of work. - With the income of practically every class of citizens either .??eri ously cut down or suspended entire ly, merchants would transact little business, because there would l>e few 'purchasers. In short, the industrial activities of the whole country would be virtually palsied- from the moment the railroads ceased to operate. The j Injury to the railway companies and to the striking employes would be enor mous, but It would be Infinitesimal i compared with the staggering Joss that would fall upon the jgeneral public. HIGHEST WAGES, ? LOWEST RATES. American railroads today pay the highest wages In the world, out of the lowest rates In the world, after having set down t6 capital account the lowest cap italisation per mile of all great countries of the world. No oth er occupation gad no other em ployee of labor In the country can match this record.? James J. Hill.
