REFRAIN FROM SPITTING
"" ' The barbaric tribes of east equatorial Africa spit when
they meet and spit when they part. In binding a bargain and
before shaking hands custom requires that they be spit up
on first They size jip a man on his ability to spit copiously.
These customs account to a certain extent for the ease with
which disease attacks the savage tribes. Whole tribes have
3tf times been almost exterminated by infections. On the
ofh'er hand, the Chinese would rather be beaten than tread
ilie'ground upon which some one had expectorated. The
ancient Chinese civilization determined this to be a wise pro
esckire. It is true that promiscuous spitting is a relic of bar
tafism and is a menace to civilization.
Promiscuous spitting is prohibited to prevent disease
and preserve decency. While the danger to health from such
spitting has been exaggerated neverthless danger exists. The
Xiea and regulations of the Oregon State Board of Health
pWvide: "Spitting on the floor of public buildings, or upon
platforms or any part of any railroad or trolley car or ferry
ioat or any other public conveyance is forbidden."
- . You are directly responsible for your diet, sleep, rest
3ud personal cleanliness; in short, personal hygiene, and to
a, considerable extent, communicable disease. Disease can
not be curbed unless everyone of us is decent enough to do
jhis part to safeguard others. We are constantly being attack
ed by germs. A person with influenza or a cold expector
ates promiscuously. The sputum dries up and the germs are
Mown around in the dust. This dust is inhaled and the in
fection is transferred to other victims. The germ of tu
nercuiosis may oe inhaled irom sprayed moist sputum or
..-Irom dried sputum.
Inasmuch as the germs of a communicable disease may

"'Jfjscharges, they should not be cast promiscuously in public
places. Care on the part of the tuberculous is necessary in
- order to prevent spreading the infection to others. The
"safest person in the world is a graduate-from a tuberculosis
sanitarium who has learned the lesson of protecting others.
Everyone in a potential disease carrier. Spitting is a menace
ai)d, a defiance to the law of sanitation.
...... Build up your bodily resistance by plenty of sleep, mod-
erate eating, regular exercise and lots of .fresh air. l'reserve

We used to think of "service" in the grocery business sis meaning "long credit".
"rush deliveries," etc We know now that these things added terrifically to the cost
of living without contributing anything to our well-being. Real service in food dis
tribution lies in successfully selling the nec essities of life on the smallest possible mar

oul the practice of shaking hands with tourists, which takes
too much time and energy. Hut both Presidents Harding and
Coolidge have enjoyed meeting the people in this way. Mr.
