Ask Your Grocer WINSTAR RC9UIRCSN0MIIK0R3UGM Diphtheria epidemic started in a good house keeper's garbage paii "Diphtheria." The first of the dozens of cases that svept tbc schools, and no one knew how small Betty got it until the doctor examined the garbage pail. The epidemic started in a garbage pail as bright and clean and with a topa3 close-fitting as your own shining new one. For Betty's mother, who prided herself on her housekeeping, kept her garbage can closed and clean, but until her small daughter was very ill with diph theria she did not know it was necessary to keep it sterile, too. For though more disease is contracted from persons than from things, you cannot afford to ignore the menace of the germ wherever it exists. The tiny, almost irivislblc bits of decaying food and refuse in a garbage can furnish homes for mil lions of germs. It is easy enough for them to be carried the few feet from the garbage can to the re frigerator, where the milk is kept. And Betty, who drinks the milk, pays the penalty in a long and terrible illness. The way to ensure safety Modern science found the way to make germs harm less. It has given us Sylpho-Nathol and Sylpho Nathol makes it easy and practical to have in our homes the antiseptic cleanliness doctors mean when they say "clean." Particular housekeepers everywhere are uilne Sylpho-ftathol In their dally deanlns they are glvinj their families this greater protection against dlicajc. They ore putting a teaipoonful In the water when they wash the garbage pall they are making the pall actually ai clean as It looks.

Start today to keep preventable illness and contagious or germ diseases are preventable away from your family. Don'c wait for tlckness to warn you that the old-fashioned cleanli ness is not enough. Keep Sylpho-Nathol on the kitchen shelf where ic Is always handy. Don't attempt to get along with out it any more than you would try to do without soap. Leading hospitals use Sylpho-Nathol.
