Denver, Sept. 16.—“ Nothing to as sess” sre the words written by As sessor Arnold across the 1911 tax schedule of the late David H. Mof fett. He made his notation after s re port aofldlted by William Todd, chief estate appraiser, that he coaid find no tangible assets. The report stated i dss liabilities will eat up the asseta. Against this there is s supplemental report filed yesterday showing that the estate carries s total value of $14,1*0,964,33.' Former Judse Joseph Helm, attorney for tbs estate, de clares that while there win bo some large claims against the estate. It Is far from Insolvent. He declared there will be a substantial sum left and that the county will get Its just •hare of the taxes. THE SANITARY SCHOOL ROOM An adult man or woman who** poMad realstancc or vital power U great, may lira, tor a lime at leant. In duty ruoma or poorly ventilated being made alrk by these anhyglenlc conditions, but even the etrongest will In time succumb. Not so with children; their power: growth end development require that I at all times they must hare an abun dance of God'a pure out-door air to breathe, free from dust and disease germs and other harmful impurities. Except during a dust storm, the out side air la the purest and heat. Dis ease germs such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, scarlet fever and pneumo oia. cannot live very long out of doors. The sunlight and oxygen of the air and other natural germ-destroying agents soon kill them. Very seldom does anyone get an Infectious disease from breathing In outside air. But In the house It is very different. A tuberculosis germ that Is coughed up iu the street will die and be harm less wltYAna'M hours, while If coughed up on a rug or carpet within doors It -w 111 live sod be dangerous s year from iftaT time, when the rug la swept and Imo dust and gerins are inhaled, unless the rug lias In the meantime been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected or 1 aired. These disease germs always adhere to small particles of dust. They cannot live in the air unless attached , to some solid substance. For this rea son Inside dust is dangerous. Dusty rooms In your house are unhygienic, even If there nre no disease germs there, because the breathing in of the dti-l irritates the nose and throat and lungs so that when you do breathe in air containing disease germs, as we all have to do very often, they lodge and grow and do more harm than they would If the air passages worn sound. But In school rooms and other pub live rooms there ure usually'some dis ease germs attached to the dust, and j this dust not only Irritates the air paa e'lge*. hut carries the fatal gefins j flight along ready to be implanted In this susceptible lining membrane of *■ your bronchial tubes and lungs. There Is almost nlweyt someone In school that Is giving off disease germs. We bellera that at least one-half of all cases of diphtheria are In their school rooms at least part of the first day or their Illness. Now, If these school rooms are nut kept clean thin dust Is constantly rained In the air by means of the /sat and skirts of pupils and teacher*. The floors of the room may ha poor, with M« W* •»< iQ • splintered boards. It 30. it will be im possible for the janitor to keep U clean and free from dust and germs. Or the Janitor may depend upon a broom and feather duster as the best means for his work. With the broom he will stir the dust up in the air, only to have it settle again on the floor and furniture. After it has fully settled back he will hit it an other whack with his duster and send it flying again through the air of ths room, but in no case does he get It out of the room. The best means to keep a school room free from dust and germs is to have good floors with ! a smooth, hard surface, then take out 4 ' the accummulated dust every day with h. vacuum cleaner, with felt surfaces on "tool” of the machine for use on wood floors. Portable machines ma\ 1 be used and taken from room to room, jor better still, a stationary vacuum cleaning plant with connections in j every room may be a part of the ! • school building, the same as heating and ventilating plans now are. The ‘ next best plan is for the Janitor to use, instead of a broom, a aoft brush with some oily, anti-dust powder to be pushed along ahead of his brush to collect the dust and prevent it rising ! in the room. Then, instead of s feath er duster, a soft cloth containing a certain amount of waxlne or paraf fine oil. Just enough to cause the dust to adhere to it instead of being scat- • tered throughout the room/ If vacuum cleaners are not available an intel : llxcnt Janitor can. with a food brush • and anti-dust powder, keep the floors [ clean and free from dangerous duat. j and the seats and furniture may be made clean and hygienic by removal of the small amounts of dust on them 1 with a suitable dust cloth. Another harmful Impurity apt to be found in the air of school rooms or • any room where many persons sre as- • sembled is what is called "crowd poi- I son’* for the lack of s better name. This is a certain indefinite. foul smelling organic substance which j usually comes from cur breath sad , our bodies and make the air of a room , occupied by many persons heavy and , j unwholesome. It probably comes in i part froiu cavities in our teeth, or 1 particles of food lodged in our mouth, or diseased gums, or coated tongues, or nasal catarrh, or certain fatty adds which come through our skins, or possibly from clothing not abso lutoly clean. From whatever eourc** this crowd poison may come, it surely is sn Impurity in the air of .most icrowded rooms unless they are well ventilated. The janitor's brush or the vacuum cleaner will remove this harmful Impurity It can only be done by proper ventilation. That is by let : ting the air out of a room as fast as it becomes impure and replacing it • with pure air from without. Persons should visit the school rooms often enough to see that their children are not required to sit it* dusty rooms or in rooms where the air Is heavy and foul with other Im purities. • Our children cannot become strong. 1 vigorous men and Voraen nor make proper advancement In their sch'ool ! work If crowded Into dirty, unsanl tary, ill-ventilated soiool rooms. “RAINBOW ROUTE” MEANS 15,000 VISITORS That there have been from 1.200 to \ 1,600 autos from out of town points to visit Canon City this spring and 1 .summer.
