Show Penny Wise, Pound Foolish. Dr. Samuel O. Dixon, Pennsylvania's Pennsyl-vania's noted health commissioner, is waging a fight against the public drinking cup. Dr. Dixon said one day In Harrlsburg: "I have seen people clean their teeth with tooth powder and dental floss, rlnBO their mouths with llsterine and other antiseptic washes and then go and drink calmly from the public cup In a railway station or a theater. "Such people remind mo of a school boy of Ardmore. Seeing this boy wading wad-ing ankle deep In a half-frozen puddle pud-dle one day In January, I said sternly: " Tommy, why are you not at school?' "'I've got the whoplng cough,' he answered, splashing about vigorously." |
