Aside from the filth Involved disease Is readily spread by spitting any place where the mucus becomes dry *sd permeate* the air. Following a suggestion made by the postmaster general cards have just been posted In the pogtofflee reading "Do not spit on the floor; to do so may spread disease.” They should be posted at other places as well. But, by all means, persons should be careful and not spit In th* bus.
