Clarke of this city to me as we were riding on a Sutter street car, says a writer in the San Francisco Call. What he drew attention to was a Chinese passenger, who, when asked for his fare, took a nickel from the in- terior of his left ear and gave it to the conductor, “A queer place for carrying money,” I said. “I kngw of many odd places that people carry money in but that is the oddest.” “It was with the view of drawing your attention to a dangerous prac- tice that I asked you to look at that Chinaman,” said the doctor and then nudged me to look in the direction of @ well-dressed lady who had a moment before taken her seat and was fumbling in her purse for her fare. She found the coin she was in search of and placed it between her lips while she closed her purse and then taking the coin from her mouth held it in her hand until it was called for. “I suppose you saw that lady place that coin between her lips?” said the doctor. “Yes; what of that? I have seen that done a hundred times.” “Did it ever occur to you that the Practice is a dangerous one and the source of more disease than many peo- ple imagine? Does that lady know where the coin was before she placed it n her mouth? May it not have been in the ear of her Chinese laundryman or cook or may it not have been in the Docket of some individual afflicted with & contagious disease? If it were in the tar of an individual who had an af- fection of that organ the microbes of the disease would cling to the coin and when placed between the lips, if there vhould happen to be a cold sore there or, a3 it often happens, a rupture of the tissue, the germs of the disease would find lodgment there and the per- son guilty of the practice would won- der how it happened that there was anything the matter with her. The mi- robes of contagious disease will attach themselves to coin and now you can see how easy. it is to transmit disease not only by a cold sore, or a lip that is what is commonly called ‘cracked’ but by in- halation. be “The practice,” added the doctor, with some vehemence, “is not only dan- serous but it is positively disru~’ 1g end I cannot understand why « w ladies are given to it.” Homesteaders Can save time and ex by proving up before E.
