cats, but also from handling by human
being, says the Buffalo Express. He
must have had In mind careless
masses to whom the rales of cleanli
ness are practically unknown. The ef-
fort of the day, among civilized people
is generally for clean food. Restau
less particular than they should

continued. If such power is not ac
cessible by any health officer, legisla-
tion should provide for such an ar-
rangement. Professor Jordan spoke
wiso for milk, saying: “Less
devoted to procuring clean milk will
vield health dividends more than com-
mensurate with the capital thus In
vested.” It is hardly necessary for

s+
Naples (Special) The beautiful
coasts of the Bay of Naples and the
Gulf of Salerno and the islands of
Isc iia and Procida have been devas-
tated by a peculiar combination of
the elements. The exact number of
victims has not been learned, but 100
or more perished. The monetary loss
is great.
The disaster appears to have come
in the form of a cyclone having three
centers, the first over the island of
Ischia, the second over the town of
Torre Del Greco on the east of the
Bay of Naples, and the third sweep-
ing the Gulf of Salerno.
Accompanying a cyclone were a
