Disease and Impure Air.
Important Points About "Purifne," the
Great DiSinfGCtant,

Is. F. Post.1
In these enlightened DAYS of the nine.
teenth century it is an acknowledged
fact that IAN ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure" and that ounce
of prevention was never better exempli-
fed than in the use of the great disn-
fectant known as "Purifine." The public
has had many disinfectants brought to
their attenti n. Some were good, some
were bad, and some were simply lndif-
ferent, but none ever yet placed on the
market combined all the many good
qualities of ''Purifine.' In the first place
it was left to the manufacturers of
'Purifine' to compound a disinfectant
and antiseptic that would be odorless, a
most important matter las users Of disin-
fectants well know that the odor of the
disinfectant. especially when in constant
use, becomes sickcning and disagreeable,
oftentimes as much SO as the odor or
smell to be killed.
In word, "Purifine" is odorless, and
is work, removal, not creating one odor
to cover another. 1t comes in highly
concentrated form, and when diluted
with two parts water there is not the
slightest odor, rendering it suitable for
places where food is kept. In the bath
room, sleeping room or about the house
generally it is indispensable.
Then again it is nOI-poisonous, an all
important feature, for if used carelessly
by children or servants there are no
harmful results, and it is absolutely safe
to have around the house.
AS a sample of its harmlessness it can
even be used i'll in refrigerators, and, if
nn tlxrc ha~ &c, ,,I
il is particularly adapted for this use
The uses for which "Purifine" is used are
almost limitless, and to enumerate them
would fill pages of The Post. For flush
ing sewers, and for cleansing sinks,
drains, barns, urinals, water closets,
floor cloths and the bed clothes from
sickness or infection it is invaluable.
Then again the price is 80 low that it
can be used lavishly. and for hospitals,
asylums, public buildings. hotels. restau-
rants, school rooms, laundries, diaries,
markets, stables, packing houses and
canneries where disinfectant is used in
large quantities, this is a point to be
considered. One gallon is used TO bar
rel of water, and for general use one
tablespoonful to pint of water.
'Purifine" is sure prevt ntive against
cholera, la grippe, small pox ,diphtheria,
all fevers and contagious diseases.
AS an antiseptic and healer "Purifine"
is invaluble, for it relieves and cures
sore throat, catarrh, stings and bites of
insects, burns and scalds. chilblains, sore
eyes, pimples, and for the bath it is a
delightful adjunct. 1t will instantly
stop any flow of blood, and physicians
will understand It's full value from its
principal constituents, bromine and
chlorine. 1t is prepared only by the
Fitch Chemical Company of Bay City,

three fourths inch white pine and hinged
together to form the leaves. A horizon
tai crosspiece is placed near the top of
each frame. Stout unbleached muslin is
stretched as tight as possible over each
side of each leaf and fastened with small
tacks close to the inner edge, leaving
the wood exposed. The space above the
crosspiece is covered separately. Over
the muslin is placed heavy MANILA pa
per the Same size, which is glued down
around the edge only. When the glue is
thoroughly dry, the paper is wet by
passing over it large brush full of wa
ter. This causes it to blister at first, but
it shrinks in drying and becomes perfect
ly smooth and taut. Upon the firm foun-
dalton thus constructed is put the COW
ering of the screen. If wall paper or any
other kind of paper is used, the back
should be covered all over with paste as
is done in papering wall. If the cover
ing material is cloth, it should be pull
ed tight and tackled around the edge.
The woodwork of the screen is then en-
ameled any preferred tint and the edges
of the covering concealed under furni-
ture gimp fastened with brass headed
tacks A better effect is secured if the
space above the crosspiece is covered
with something different from that en-
ployed below, but harmonizing with it.
For example, plain blue denim might be
used for the lower part of the screen,
while material having white ground
and blue figure is placed ON the upper
portion. ISABELLA PROCTOR.

Terrible Visitation.

Not more sudden, unexpect-
ed and appaulir g was the vol
canic eruption which buried
the city Of Pompeii and its
thousands of human souls in
the molten lava vomited from
the bowels of the earth in the
early ages, than was the terri
fic slaughter of the Storm God
at st. Louis on Wednesday
night.
The wind blew at the speed
of eighty miles an hour, carry
ing men women and children
through the air like so many
feathers, tearing down homes
and burying beneath the brick
and timbers thousands of wo-
men and children.
The destruction stopped not
at St. Louis, but carried death
to oil er places as well, leaving
dIstressful chaotic ruin, in its
blighting track. Can it be a
fulflment of that prophecy
which indicates the beginning
of the end of things earthly!
Surely our country, bad and
corrupt as it is, does not deserve
the fate of Sodom and Gomorah;
but an outraged Deity, with im.
maculate mercy may have used
this Christening rod to warn
and save the nation from yet
more dire calamity. Let US
hope the lesson will be needed,
and that our Rulers at Wash
ington will cease to dance "a
the tune of political debauehery
of a Nero, while the good and
perpetuity Of the country is be-
ing consumed in the flames OF
selfish and ungodly greed.

tracked that they might declare for free

Cyclone Echoes.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 27.-One
of the greatest disasters of re-
cent years overwhelmed the
city of St. Louis tonight in the
shape of a cyclone, which began
shortly after 5 O'Clock and for
thirty minutes tore its awful
way through the city with a
velocity of so miles. Although
reports from there are very
meagre, owing to the almost
total destruction of the tele.
graph wires. it seems certain
that the number of dead and
wounded will amount to fully
one thousand, and the damage
done to millions of dollars. The
city hospital, which fortunately
survived the storms, is filled TO
owe flowing with mangled men,
women end children, and the
morgue within two hours after
the end of the storm was so full
of corpses that it was necessary
to provide other quarters for the
reception of the dead.

The first is the lowest element, found
even in the beast. The second speaks

three make the bold man, the careful
