The pin is born with millions of brothers and sisters, who leave home to travel all parts of the world. On their journey they come in contact with us human beings and it might be interesting to take up what sometimes happens when they do so. Suppose a pin found its way into the laundry of a shirt manufacturer. We would be likely to hear of it, first in the mouth of one of those folding the shirt and preparing it for shipment. TWs pin, as well as others, might perhaps perhaps be making its first intimate acquaintance with the germ that produces produces sore throat. The shirt gets to the consumer, who starts to make it ready for use. For the second time the poor pin finds the human mouth again its abiding place. Possibly this time it gets into an ulcerated mouth, thence itg ets into the pin cushion or some other receptacle.

If she has the bad habit al- ' ready alluded to she fills her mouth with these pins while she cuts with her patterns and fits various pieces together. together. This time for variation the pin may have found lodgment in a healthy mouth. Nevertheless, it is not a pleasant fault, when you know the pin's history thus far, to think of any one making such use of it. Many a mother who uses pins in fastening a child's dress together does the same thing. By this time, in the pin's life history, it is quite well armed with spores of germs and really is accountable for much harm along its path of travel. And now as it is getting old and about ready to close its life a little child may be stricken with tonsilitis or diphtheria or even scarlet fever, because some of these diseases are easily communicable communicable from throats so recently affected by the disease that the danger is not recognized. The presence of the germs that have been referred to on the pin is a real danger, as the physician physician or laboratory, worker know r s he can ^ plant these pins taken from everyday use and plant them in foodstuffs foodstuffs that will make them grow and multiply in great numbers, colonies can 'tie seen by the naked eye and they can be injected into other living beings beings and produce disease. The habit of putting pins into the mouth w'ould not continue for a moment moment if every one knew this. The moral of this little story is, never hold pins in the mouth, as they spread dissease, even fatal diseases. ❖-- Miller's Worm Powders destroy worms without any inconvenience to the chi d, and so effectually that they pass from the body unperct ived.
