SANITARY TOWELS.

For many years past in Canada, U.S.A., and other progressive parts of tho world, the Paper Towel has been generally adopted because of its advantages both from a sanitary point of view and from the point of view of utility. It does not require any great stretch' of imagination to realise how easy it is to spread contagious diseases per medium of tho linen towel. Imagine, for instance, the roller towel in schools, offices, etc. After a few hours general use it changes colour. This discolouration is caused by dirt laden with germs, and it is not hard to realise how during an epidemic the public towel becomes a prolific source of contagion. This particularly applies to schools, because children do not realise the danger of infection, and do not exercise the ear that adults would; consequently it is quite easy to understand how children contract tho various form of illness when at school.

'The Ovaloek possesses distinctive features wlucli render is easily superior to any other paper towel on the market. It is the only roll towel of single sheet discharge, thus permitting the elminatiou of tho stiffness and harshness which all interfolded towels require. Ovalocks, fed from the roll are therefore made softer, moro absorbent, and are -more efficient and pleasant , to use. The flaky fibres are woven into a clean and porous tissue which greedily absorbs every particle of moisture or grease, leaving the skin refreshingly soft and clean. For workshops, factories, and garages, it is the ideal towel. Tho day of the unsanitary "old “roller towel” in schools, offices, and public buildings is happily past; There is no better or more economical towel to replace than the Ovaloek. It removes all danger of contagion, costs, less than the old time schools, and public buildings everywhere are installing Ovalocks. These Sanitary Towels have been installed by the Mount Cook Motor Co., S.C. Hospital Board, S.C. Club, and leading doctors, "and can be had from John Edmond Ltd., Hardware Merchants, Sophia Street, who will bo pleased to have your inquiries.— (Advt).
