KEEPING WELL THE DEADLY SHAVING BRUSH DR. FREDERICK R. GREEN Editor of “HEALTH" THE danger of contracting anthrax from cheap shaving brushes Is again brought to public attention through the death of Professor Ellermun of the University of Copenhagen. This well-known Danish educator bought a new shaving brush, supposed to be made of badger bristles. A few days after be began using it, a small pimple appeared on bls left cheek. This soon developed Into a typical antlirui pustule. In spite of all treatment, be died within a week. Examination of his shaving brush ' showed that it was not made of badger bristles but of horse hair dyed to Imitate badger bristles. Anthrax germs were found on the bristles, as well as in the pustule on bls face. Anthrax is a disease of animals. It seldom attacks human beings but, when it does, it Is very apt to be fatal. It Is found among horses and sheep. It was so common in Europe, 50 years ago, that many farmers lost all of their sheep by it It was one of the first animal diseases that Pasteur investigated and the one on which he made his celebrated experiment. He not only found the germ but also made a serum which would protect the sheep against infection. He proved this to the unbelieving farmers of France by taking 100 sbeep, giving 50 a dose of serum and giving the other 50 none. Then they were all exposed to the disease. The 50 protected sbeep all remained healthy and the 50 un protected ones all died. Among men, anthrax occurs most frequently among farmers and stock dealers, workers on bides and hair and others coming in close contact with sheep and horses. The dangerous shaving brushes sre those made of horse hair instead of badger bristles. Horses have anthrax, badgers do not. These brushes are mostly of Japanese make. They are dangerous, net because they are made in Japan, but because Japanese brushes are made of horse hair, dyed to look like badger hair. If you shave yourself, get a good brush. No matter what kind of a brush you get, soak It thoroughly in a formalin solation before using It. This kills any anthrax germs which may he in the bristles. t@. 1926. Wtstcrn N«w«paper Union.)

Mij Favorite Stories Bq IRVIN $ COBB The Poor Aim of Mr. Zeno When the circus reached the small Vermont town the proprietor feared for awhile that his afternoon perform , ance might lack Its chief feature. The star of the aggregation was Zeno, the Mexican knife thrower, answering In ' private life to the name of Hennessy. I Twice a day Zeno, dressed in gaudy ‘ trappings, would enter the arena accompanied by his wife, a young, plump and pretty woman In pink tights, and followed by a roustabout bearing a basketftill of long bowie-knives and shining battleaxe*/ While the band played an appropriate selection of shivery music the young woman would flatten herself against a background of blue [flanking which had been erected tn the middle of the ring. There she WOUld [.■■■> ■■swiio » -c s«o» mt— . gether. Then Zeno, stationing hlmseif 4<» feet from her. would fling his knives and axes nt her, missing her each time by the narrowest of margins. Presently her form would be completely outlined by the deadly steel, but such was Zeno’s marvelous skill that she took no hurt from the sharp blades which | pinned her fust. Hut on this day .Mrs. Zeno had fallen i 111 and. although the circus owner of- j sered a reward for some one who I would take her place, he could find no volunteers among the members of his staff. In. this emergency the invalid's mother—who by the same token was Zeno’s mother-in-law—and who trav- i eled with the show In the capacity of wardrobe mistress, -stepped forward and agreed to sene as an understudy In order that the performance might not be marred. The hour came. Forth came Zeno, wearing his professional scowl, slightly enhanced. His mother-in-law, skinny and homely, with her hair knotted in a knob on her head and her daughter's fleshings hanging In loose folds upon her bony ligure, followed him closely. She plastered herself flat against the wooden background. Zeno gave her it look seemingly fraught with undying hate. He took up his longest, sharpest bowie-knife. He tested It* needle-like point upon hi* thumb. He poised It, aimed It, ’‘flung It. Like a javelin it hurtled on It* hissing flight through the ulr. Striking tip first a scant quarter of an Inch from the lobe of the mother-in-law’* left ear, it burled Itself deep In the tough oaken planking and stood there, the hilt quivering. The pause which ensued was broken by the astonished voice of a lank native sitting on the lowermost tier of blue seats Industriously milking hl* whiskers: “Wall, by Heck—he missed her!” (Copyright by the Central Press Aeeoefotlon.) ——O I nammond—finable to stand the thought of continuing their high school careers, Lucile Hixon and Gertrude Vogel, 14 and 15 respectively, packed their clothes and started cn foot for Pennsylvania to visit friends.
