When and How to Disinfcct.

from the fracucal FARMER
Clothing which requires disinfecting should
be submitted for about three hours to o tenn
perature of $50 degrees in a chamber charged
with sulphuric fumes from q large quantity OF
sulphur. The chamber should be so constructed
as to prevent the fumes from passing of. No
germs can stand this.
After room has been used by o person sick
with any contagious disease it be comes neces-
sary to disinfect it before it Is ft to be used
again. This Is done by removing and burn
ing the paper on the walls, removing the bed
s.eads and other furniture and exposing them
to air and wind and giving them q fresh coat
Of varnish; by having the mattress made over
new and the hair boiled; by burning in the
room three pounds of sulphur, and by white
washing, painting and papering tho room
anew. Ht
Now that it is generally conceded that con-
sumption is caused by germs which multiply in
the lungs, o method Of disinfecting them, which
shall be harmless, has been sought for, bat as
yet without avail The vapor OF creosote, the
oil OF the eucalyptus and carbolic acid have
been tried, and, to some extent, they may par
alyze or stun the germs and prevent their
rapid increase, but as the passages of the lungs
are delicate and the vapor cannot be brought
very near to them without injury, the good
effects are slight But there is one method
which cannot fail to prove beneficial, and that
is the inhalation of large quantities of fresh,
pure air. This is worth more than any disin-
fectant for the lungs and can do no harm.

Dakota I'm Favor Of Washington.

The jamestown Alert agrees with the Repub-
ticdn as to the appropriateness Of locating the
worlds fair in Washington. 1t says:
OF course North Dakota is solid for Chicago
for the worlds fair, because we stand by the
combination for our western sake, But the
proper North American location for this cele-
bration Is ut Washington, the seat of the
government we celebrate and the most beauti-
full city In the new world New York ia too
big. too crowded and too greedy to be the
right place for holding such illustrative and
commemorative displays as this.-MitcleLl
Oak. Republican.
The Mitchell Republican declares in favor of
holding the worlds fair in 1892 at Washington.
the capital OF the nation. While it may not
add any weight nor influence decision in the
matter the Observer is heartily in accord with
the idea. Local and sectional interests NAV
make strong showing in favor of both New
iCrk and Chicago as a location for the fair.
but the sober, second patriotic thought of the
country will favor Washington city. This is
the capital OF the nation; it has time and again
shown Its capacity and ability to handle large
crowds. And the location Of the fair in its
limits would give it q broad national aspect
and free il from the sordid commercial in
huences which would surround it at either of
the two cities which are now struggling TO Sc
cure 1t for the money there is in il. Let the
worlds fair be handsomely backed by Con-
gress, let 1t be located in Washington and let
Its management be vested in an executive com.
mittee OF representative men from all parts OF
the Union; then it will be an exhibition OF
which every American citizen can be proud -

FIXED air" and "combustible air"
had been specialized upon, and ''the
air that is left after combustion had
attracted attention. But the phe-
nomena of this kind, Inconsistent as
they were with the phlogistic theory,
had not been sufficient to overthrow
it. The first germ of Lavoisier's the
DRY on these matters was embodied in,
a sealed packet which he deposited
with the Academy in 1770> Recog-
nizing that she calcination of metals
could not take place without the ac=

tanned in the air was susceptible, under
many circumstances; Of fixing itself
and combining with metals, and that
to the addition of that substance we're
due calcination and the increase Ia

From this thought. came, aftert much,
cropping with erroneous conclusions
the idea that air is a compound coz,
taining'a vrtar part. and another part,
and that it is the vital part that is
absorbed. The behavior OF charcoal
when;baEnieg in oxygen pointed toiehe,
nature of that Substance and, to'ths
true theory of combustion. This new
vital substance, which, uniting with
the metals, formed cakes, and with
other Substances generated acids, he
called Oxygen or the acid-producer;
the air that was left after combustion
was azOte, or lifeless. The inflamma-
be air which. combining with oxy-

The Doodle Democracy,

Ever since Mr.. Harrison was elected
the democrats have been crying that
money was used by Mr.. Dudley to
carry Indiana. Judging from the lofty
indignation which some of thu demo-
cratic editors presumed to manifest, it
would be supposed that that great
moral organization would scorn the use
of money in political campaign, but
here is a wall for wealth. coming
from a democratic Macedonia which
ought to put quietus on the Indiana
doodle" racket.
Malone is making hot campaign in
Virginia. His capital is his personal
ability and energy and the strength of
his cause. Democrats are greatly
alarmed at the situation in the Old
Dominion. The Augusta ga Chron-
icle says:
The national democracy must stand squarely
by the people OF Virginia in this fight. The
sihews Of war should be literally provided. The
Virginisns win need help and great deal Of it,
from the outside. To put it plainly, and not to
check the moral sense of good people who be-
lieye in the purity Of the ballot, money makes
the ballot potential by swelling up the count.
Colonel Calvin 5. Brice and his committee
should look after the state of Virginia. 1t needs
their best work.
