Do They Never Stop lo Tbiak?
Do the German people never
stop to think? They have been
lied to by their military despots
from the start. They were told
that Germany was forced into
war to protect itself from its ene
mies. The Action is kept up.
They have never been permitted
to learn the truth.
And yet they must be singular
y dense if they are not begin
ning to catch a . glimmer of the
truth. Surely the United States
did not go to war for the sake of
aggression. Certainly country
after country has' not broken
relations with Germany with any
intention of seizing upon its ter
ritory. Fven a "boche" a wood
en bead ol tne lowest degree
of intelligence ought to be able
to comprehend that.
What, then, is the matter?
Why is it that Germany finds
be'fcelf without friends? What
is wrong. Dij the German peo
ple never ask themselves these
questions? When they do, and
when thoy insist upon true ans
wers, they will discover thai
they have hten plunged into war

but because of the wicked ambi
tions or their rulers lo domi

They will realize that they have
been made the tools of monsters
of cruelty and Of criminality.
f, when they absorb the facts of
the situation, they do not resent
the deception and demand that
an end be put to autocracy, they
will indeed be hopeless. The
sooner they can produce a gov
ernment that cau be trusted, the
sooner will peace come to them
and to all the rest of us.

Little Talks on Health and fljgiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, M. D., LI. D.,
Commissioner of Health.
Wild animalseat their food raw, j
either while fresh or after it
has become tender with age.
This latter habit is one of the
weasel's. They kill quite liber
ally of their prey when the op
portunity offers and then allow it
almost to decay before they feed
upon it. Primitive man hunted
and devoured hjs food much like
the lower animals.
. Later in the history of man
he learned to make fire and
cook his food, and it is now quite
evident from what we find in the
Indian mounds that it .became
the custom, for instance,, of the
American Indians to have, great
clam bakes on the Atlantic Coast.
Sometimes in these mounds we
find bones of deer, showing that
they had more than ane kind of
foodstuff.
As relics of a still later age, we
find in the mounds various little
implements that were evidently
used for handling and serving
the food.
This begins to approach con
ditions in the present state of
civilization that we now find in
the larze centers of pnpuliiiin.
thousands of people make U.eir
sole livelihood preparing food for
the table and taking care of the
dishea and the serving cf the
food, from the snmll boarding
houses to the enormous hotels.
In these places the health of
those thus employed has not had
any police supervision and yet
we have known that comirnnica'
le diseases have been on ine ra
pid increase and horrible diseases
have been passed from ui.e per
son to another until they have
become a great menace to the
health, happiness and efficiency
of our people.
The State of Pennsylvania,
fortunately, in 1915 succeeded in
passing a law thai requires those
in charge of restaurants, board
ing houses, hotels, etc., to look
after the health of their people.
The law handles it in this way,
that it holds the proprietor of
those places for employing people
who have these dangerous dis
eases that can be communicated
to their customers thrpugh the
foodstuff itself, or through the
dishes, forks, knives, spoons, etc.
Cooks and waiters cannot, under
our new law, pursue their occu
pations without satisfying those
they propose to serve that they
are clean from these diseases the
law is trying to prevent being
thus spread. The moment this
new law was signed by the
Governor, a large number of
waiters left their places in the
Pullman coaches on the railroad
and from the great railroad
restaurants, as well as from the
large and active hotels.
This became well known and
the newspapers and journals en
deavored to spread this news
that the people might wake up
to what had existed and what
the new law proposed to protect
them from.
When the bill asking for this
law was introduced in the General
Assembly some of the great rail
road companies that have large
restaurants at their termini
appreiated that it wa3 a great
sanitary measure and before the
bill became a law they adopted
its good points in the manage
ment of their great eating cent
ers throughout the United States.
This law, like other new laws
that mean to bring about a great
change in public policies, has to
be sanely enforced, and the old
system of preparing food and
washing of dishes in hotels and
restaurants must not be too
suddently destroyed. The time,
fortunately, is here when the
public has become educated and
the people are demanding that
the spirit of this good law be
carried out. Some hotels adver
tise on their letterheed -paper

and more important in regard to
these centers, that they may not
spread dangerous, yes, deadly,
