EDITORIAL
The Vernonia Council has passed
and posted a long ordinance known
sa a Plumbing Code. Everyone should
read it or part of it. It provides for
a Plumbing Inspector that you must
get application from before you do
any sewer connecting or plumbing
work—100 dollar fine if you fail.
For the precent, G. G. Hall, City
Engineer, is Plumbing Inspector,
This is very important to the health
and safety of the city and every citi
zen will rejoice that it has been acc
omplished, and that the sewer system
is opperating. No outside toilets will
be permitted in the city where conn
ection are within a half-block of a
sewer line. When one digs for a sew
er connection they must leave the
ground as it was before digging—in
other words, don’t leave any hole»
like now appear at certain places on
Bridge street All Plumbers in Verno-
nnia must get a City License as well
as a Bond and all work must be in
spected as it is being done. Thi»
Plumbing Code is one if the best Ord
inances gotten up by the city.

We are in receipt of a bulletin
sent out by the Public Health Serv
ice of the U. S. in which it is announ
ced that the common “bad cold” is
highly contagious, and that from the
standpoint of being “common“ it
is indeed as common aa the housefly.
“Persons suffering with a cold
should be careful abiut sneering in
public’’, reads the bulletin. “Nover
sneeze on a friend,” it goes en to
warn, “unless you are sure that
you have not the slightest symtons of
a cold.” And since we believe that
the bulletin carries much that will
prove beneficial to citisens of Ver
nonia and vicinity we print thia add
itional information from the pen of
Uncle Sam’s studied medical authori
ties:
“If you keep in good physical con
dition you stand a better chance than
otherwise of throwing off the germ
of cold if anyone harboring them
happens to sneeze in your presence.
But you cannot depend on physical
fitness alone; proper diet, using care
to keep out of drafts and wearing
^armets neither too heavy nor too
light for the climate are important.
Doping on nostrums and alleged cold
cures, many of which contain injuri
ous coal Ur, are also discouraged.
Sleep in a room where there is good
ventilation and drink plenty of cold
water and colds will be the least of
your worries.”
