A crusade of education is .to be carried on through newspapers and magazines warning against the unsanitary conditions. The movement had its inception in Chicago and it ia expected the first effects will be felt here through an or dinance which soon will be reported to the city council providing stringent regulations for all establishments en gaged in supplying clean linen. The ordinance originated with [The health department, and at once re ceived the co-operation of the Laundry association, which obtained the incor poration in the ordinance of clauses even more stringent than those origin ally drafted. The ordinance has been favorably reported by the committee in charge and its passage is practically assured. It is declared the statistics of the health department show that epidemics of scarlet fever, diphtheria and other diseases were more prevalent in dis tricts where Chinese laundries were thickest, and these laundries have been the cause of spreading disease.
