CopyrlKlit , 1910 , by American arc "BOCM ! germs" and TIIHKK germs , " just as there are "good trusts" and "bad trusts. " "Germ busting" In some rc ripccts resembles "trust busting. " Pub licity and the light of day nro sup posed to bo correctives for bad trusts. Sunshine and fresh air will uuo.ue.s- tlonnbly restrain the activities of bail germs. An example of a good germ Is the lactic acid bacillus found In sour milk. Tablets containing these germs are mow used in medicine for the treat ment of Intestinal trouble , It having been found that they destroy certain harmful bacteria that flourish in the Intestines. In fact , the "elixir of life" In the form of artificially soured mill ; may now be purchased at soda foun tains , but whether it In a real elixir and actually prolongs life by killing off the bnctorla that produce old age lias not been fully passed upon by science. However , these lactic acid bacilli are quite useful and nro also employed in the treatment of infective processes In the nose and mouth. Diiaates Due to Germs. It is not so long ago only about fifty years that learned men were willing to debate about "spontaneous generation. " It was contended that the microscopic organisms that were found In certain fermenting and decomposing - composing fluids were "spontaneously" HOUSEWIFE AND "She prcpareth a table for mo In - thai i presence of mine enemy.

In the tlrst place , germs should not be feared a parades , If you please. Itespcct them , but do not fear them. .4- - A "sound mind in a sound body" is . not nn easy mark for germs. But \ germs have power to Injure those whose resistance Is temporarily low- V -crcd by fatigue , exposure or disease * as well as the naturally feeble and nonrcslstant. The principal germ diseases that we bare to contend with In the home are scarlet fever , measles , diphtheria , whooping cough , smallpox , cholera , rlp , pneumonia , tuberculosis , dysen- tary , typhoid fever and malaria. No doubt the tlmo will cotno when these maladies will practically disappear from civilized communities , as indeed may almost be said at the present time of smallpox. But earnest and faithful work by medical men and cheerful co-operation by the public arc necessary to attain that end. It Is better to prevent germs from breeding and multiplying than'to de stroy them ; also it is better to be germ proof yourself than to rely over much on expensive methods of destroy ing them. It is fortunate that fresh air and sunlight arc health giving In fluences for humanity and death deal ing Influences for germs. Darkness , dampness , dissipation and dirt all fu ror the growth of bacteria and also lower the resistance of the human body to their action. Influence of Flies , Mosquitoes , Etc. It was formerly supposed that flies were useful scavengers and harmful 1 only from the annoyance they caused buzzing around one's ears. The great discovery has been made that , like many other destructive agents we have entertained in our homes for thousands of years , the housefly is a hereditary enemy. He does not wipe his feet be fore entering the house , but often uses , -our food as u doormat He keeps bad , company , breeds In filth , manure , moldy paper , garbage , anything that rots , and typhoid fever germs are bis specialty. The housefly must go , just ns the old oaken bucket in the barnyard well has gone ( let us hope ) , and the close , stuffy , unventllated bedrooms and oth- rr long cherished or endured condi tions that Invite poverty , crime , dls- i0 1 ease and death. But how shall wo exterminate this pest , who doesn't be lieve in rare suicide ? First , destroy his * breeding ground. Burn up all paper or rubbish around your farm or re doorynrd. Burn or bury all garbage ; k or refuse. Keep your stable toors ! clean and wash them occasionally with hot soapsuds solution ( one HIIIK c coin i- ino'n sudn in lu . ! MU i'N -ft -iin | ) ami wntfi * iiould bd fllslrifeclecl with powdered chloride of lime. Files llnd a splendid brooding ground In a Hlable. Sewage vaults should be cleaned frequently and disinfected and protected from tiles by chloride of Hiiiior mill ; of lime. A filthy pigpen Is also a line breeding place for lllcs. Pigpens should be so built that they may be Hushed out and cleaned. The nianuro Is a valuable fertilizer and maybe bo stored , but should be covered with dry earth , chloride of llino or criu'oil. ' . The task of keeping files out o. ' 'he house Is n dlllli'iilt one. Screens and a fly beater , lly paper , etc- . , only mitigate [ the evil. The rational method Is to prevent breeding. The uioHiiilto | does not carry the germ of malaria on his feet , as the lioiiMolly curries the typhoid bacillus , but In his salivary gland. The mosquito In known as the "In- tcrmedlate host" of the malarial para-1 site. In other words , llio parasite Is received Into the digestive tract of the inotqulto and hospitably entertained and developed until It passes into the salivary gland , from which It Is in jected into the next human that the mosquito bites. The mosquito must go and Is going. The hospitality ho has extended to the plaHiuodhim of malaria has downed him. But the "anopheles" mosquito Is the genial host and the one which wo must especially seek to destroy. The common mosquito , "culex , " which tiles In the daytime , is harmless so far as we know. Anopheles may bo known by its attitude on n flat surface hind IORS nud body arc elevated nt tin angle , while culox keeps the body parallel with the surface. Anopheles has spot ted wings , culex not. Anopheles bites In the early evening , culox nt any time. How to Avoid Malaria. Avoid the anopheles mosquito and you will avoid malaria. Bad air has positively nothing to do with malaria. Particularly avoid being bitten by mosquitoes in the early evening. Screen your house and also screen your bed with netting if you llvo in a malarial locality. Best of all , do not let mosquitoes breed around your home. A small pall of standing water will produce thousands. I have seen countless swarms of mosquitoes on a golf course whore the solo breeding places were a few water boxes for washing golf balls. Allow no standing water around your place. Screen your water barrel or cistern. Pour coal oil along the margin of swamps or slow running streams. Drain nil stagnant water. Deprive the mosquito of a place to breed and the "fever and ttgue" will not get you. Pneumonia , Grip , Eto. Every one fears scarlet fever , mea sles , whooping cough and diphtheria , for they are well known to be commu nicable or contagious. It Is not so generally known that pneumonia Is an Infectious general disease with a local manifestation In the lungs. The pneu monia germ , rejoicing in several beau tiful names ; of which "Dlplococcus piicumonlue" is the most commonly used , is rather short lived nud easily killed by .sunlight nud fresh air. In the modern treatment of pucu'moiila these agencies are utilized , and the pa tient Is treateil no far as possible In the open nlr. 13very precaution should be taken to destroy the sputum of pneumonic patients. Strong lye Is a good disinfectant for this purpose , but burning is better. People lu attend ance on pneumonic patients should protect themselves from Infection , Home Disinfectants. Heat. Boiling Is the most effective way of sterilizing clothing , handker chiefs or other articles that can be treated lu this way. Useless infected articles should bo burned. Soapsuds. One ounce of common soda to twelve quarts of hot soapsuds ( soft soap and water ) Is an excellent t j I cleanser for floor , refrigerators , etc. | I Chloride of Lime. Powdered chloride - ride of lime is a strong disinfectant ! and deodorizer. It should have a pun gent , penetrating odor and an extreme- J ly irritating effect on the eyes and air , passages , otherwise it Is Inert and use less. less.Milk Milk of Lime. One quart of dry , freshly slacked lime toour or five quarts of water ; useful for the same purpose as chloride of lime in disin fecting stables , drains , sewage vaults , sinks , all places where putrefaction , foul odors or Infection may exist. Carbolic Acid Solution. Six ounces to one gallon of water. This Is dangerous - gerous to have arouud the house and 1 must bo used with care. Useful for wiping floor , washing utensils and I pouring down drain when infection Is feaied. , | Formalin. One part of formalin to . ten of water is quite as useful and t I I less dangerous than the former. For disinfecting rooms use the following , for each thousand cubic feet of space : Place four ounces of potassium per manganate crystals In a metal pall ; ' add eight ounces of formalin (40 ( per I cent solution ) . Place this pall in the middle of the room , which should be left tightly closed for from flve to twenty-four hours. Avoid inhaling the gas which Is quickly formed after mixing the above Ingredients. This gas does not penetrate bedding or up holstery and docs not injure metals or fabrics. It will not destroy insects. Two ounces of gum camphor added to the above ralxtnro will kill' ' flies and mosquftoes. To completely disinfect clothing , bed ding and upholstery the formalin so lution must bo freely sprayed' directly ' on these articles.
