I In England, the fact that, as well ias careless talking, careless sneezing may handicap the war effort, has been considered by the Minister of Healtn. A special plate, held three feet away from an unguarded sneeze, will result in 19,000 colonies of living . germs appearing upon it. If a hand- , •kerchief is held in front of the face, I; only one colony of germs will be evi- j' denced. The danger caused by the| spread of incipient colds among factory and shipyard workers is obvious, and a new slogan, “Coughs ana, sneezes spread diseases,” has been . adopted.
