COMMON DRINKING CUPS.
Owing to the energetic action of the United States Public Health
Service and the activities of the vari
ous State boards of health the common drinking cup is rapidly disappearing. It is not known to many that the danger of infection by this
vehicle was recognized so long ago aa the fourteenth century, when it
was discovered to be instrumental in
the diffusion of the plague. The
Catholic church directed its abandon
ment lor a time. The records of the
Protestant church at Bopflngen in
Wlirttemberg mention in the in
ventory "one small gold plated cup
for the Bick and one tip cup for In
fected persons," and these tin cups
appear in the inventory as late as
1832.
During an epidemic In Strassburg in 1564 individual communion cups were suggested by a professor of
theology to prevent the propagation
of disease by this medium.
The suggestion that communion
cups may become the source of in
fection with dangerous diseases was first made in America by Dr. Terry in 1887, and Dr.Rorbes presented to the Rochester Pathological Society in
1894 evidence obtained by the microscope .of contaminating material from the mouth and clothing. He traced
to a common drinking club an epi
demic of diptheria affecting twenty
four .families. A bacteriological

examination of dregs in a communion cup used by many showed tubercle bacilli. In the municipal laboratory
of Chicago twenty cups were examin
ed last year taken from schools.
hotels, railway stations and depart
ment stores. The rims showed germs
of pneumonia six times, pus germs twenty times, diphtheria in two. Of guinea pigs into which this material was injected six became very ill and two died, one from typical diptheria.
On the other hand the examination
of mouthpieces in lung testing ma
chines at amusement resorts revealed only harmless organisms. The examination of mouthpieces of telephones undertaken under the direction of the Postmaster-General of Great Britan revealed no tubercular
bacll, despite the fact that they were
continued for one year and included
examination of telephones used by
patients in a hospital for consump
tives. It may be safely inferred that
no other disease producing germs
would find lodgment upon the speak
ing tube of a telephone. This posi
tive result may prove a comiort to those who are constantly in dread of contracting disease from this much used instrument.
Many states and cities have legis
lated against the common drinking
cup in public places, but on Colorado and South Dakota had specially ap
plied the law to churches up to August, 1913.
A simple expedient that obviates
the danger of infection when only a common tumbler is available is to
drink by inserting both Hps within the glass and press the dry rim in contact with the dry skin. New York

in expressing himself, obviously has assumed to know more about what the 2,500,000 people of Chicago want than they do themselves. "The people of Chicago know their own interests and are. best able to judge what is necessary to promote them. So far as Chicago is concerned, there is practically no dissent to the lake front park plans. It seems to me Inconceivable that the united demand of our people as it has been expressed should not prevail in Washington." Mr. Wacker hits the nail upon the head. Property values are too high in Chicago's downtown district to think of establishing a harbor there.
TAXING BACHELORS. If a proposal now before the Senate of Lubeck should '; pass, unmarried people who are unable to show that they contribute toward the maintenance of relatives will be required to pay an additional income tax of
ten per cent on incomes between $500 and $2,600. When the income exceeds $2,500 the Additional tax will
be twenty per cent, while widows and
INEXPERIENCED SURGEONS. The decisions of the surgeons attending the surgical convention in Chicago to promote legislation that will require two years of hospital training before a doctor can perform an operation la one of the most important reforms needed in the profession. These surgeons admit that a death resulting whee an unskilled doctor performs an operation is nothing less than legal murder. And legal murder it is. Human life Is too precious to entriist major operations to fledgling doctors. In Indiana the surgeons will accomplish a great work if they can get the legislature to pass the bill outlined at the surgical congress.
NO ARGUMENT. The fact that slit skirts were worn
by Women in Crete 2000 B. C. is no argument. Men don't meander about today like Alcibiades returning from

A MUSTACHE DESCRIPTION. Strickland Gillilan the humorist
had an encounter recently with what
he calls an angry subscrlbress and he was forced to admit that her con

Gillilan to come beck as follows: "An angry subscribress (ana we can't blame her we had been expecting itl) calls our attention to the fact that we have been lambasting the girls and women for their funny duds and haven't said a thing about the intensely modern young male girl who dresses within an inch of his life. ..We haven't had. the heart
MR. WACKER IS RIGHT.
Chicago's city plan expert, Charles H. Wacker, admits the inadequacy
of the Chicago harbor facilities. WTe

ports come into their own.
Mr. Wacker is loyal to Chicago but
he says:
"The navigation interests have
come forward in favor of this park
way development. The trend of Chi
cago's industrial life is in the region
of South Chicago and the Calumet district, and the greater part of industrial shipping tonnage is bound to go there. Property values In the
neighborhood of the proposed park
district are too valuable ever to cause a harbor to be established there suc
cessfully. "The advocates of the park lm
provement plan include .the South
park commissioners, the city adminis
tration, the harbor commission, the Chicago Assciation of Commerce, the
Commercial club, and, I believe, 99

definite. . The reason for this is that the risks of an Injudicious method of hardening are greater than those of a careful nurture of the young. The specter of rheumatic inflammation of the heart more than counterbalances the virtue of wet feet, of bare knees and of gauze underwear. There are so many factors to be considered the individual child, the climate, the season and the environment that the problem of hardening becomes one of careful study and deliberation rather than one of vague generalization.
The Day in HISTORY
CHEER VTi From many sides come witnesses to
assure us that if we would prosper mentally, physically and materially we
must cheer up. Nothing is gained by
grumplnem, say our official and unofficial advisers.
First, we have the testimony of a
Philadelphia lady that if we desire to
live long we must guard against low spirits. "Be happy if you wish to reach a good old age," says this wom
an. She ought to know, for she baa
been a resident of this world (formerly miscalled a "vale of tears") for 103 years. So, you see, if you want to live long you must be cheerful. Then we hare the testimony of certain physicians of Johns Hopkins University Medical school, one of the highest In America, that good cheer and a smile are preventives of threatened appendicitis and other intestinal disorders. . In other words. If you are cheerful enough you may "Jolly" your vermiform appendix Into thinking there Is
nothing the matter with it To those
who insist on going through life with
grouches the doctor. says: "Worry and you'll get a pain in the side." Ton see, don't you, that if you want to be healthy you simply have to be cheerful? Moreover, every one knows that business success depends in a great measure on a smiling exterior. Even the inanimate place of business, the store or shop which presents a smiling exterior, is more likely to be successful than the one with a forbidding appearance. Here's a human instance: A successful seller of bonds for one of the big city bouses returned to headquarters recently "and reported that he had been unable to do any business because he had felt "blue." "When you feel cheerful you get orders,' he said. If you are not convinced now that you must be cheerful you are a hopeless case. Everything and everybody tells you so, so you must believe it. How about the things that tend to take away your cheerfulness? yon ask. There are no such thlnff3- "Forget them!" as the slang phrase has it. Or, if you are of a literary mind and prefer a translation from a foreign language, listen to this from the German: "Schwamm darueberH That means "Wipe it out!" (Literally it means "Sponge over ItO
widowers not contributing toward the maintenance of relatives will-pay an
additional ten per cent on incomes
above $2,500.
In the city of Spandau, on the
pther hand, the municipality levies a
tax of about twenty-five cents on per
ambulators, which yields an annual
profit of more than $500.

THE HARDENING OF CHILDREN.
An editorial in the New York Medical Record (October 25) says
that a topic that has received considerable attention in the popular
hygienic books and journals, and that appeals with particular force to the average parent, is the hardening of
children. The theory upon which
this belief is based holds that a certain amount of exposure to cold and wet is a good thing for the child, and
