was eating while dancing polka with

The increasing use of acetylene as
an Illuminating gas and the objection
made to it in some quarters on the
score of hygienic considerations, says
the Scientific American, lend particu-
lar interest to a number of expert
ments recently made on animals, says
the Pharmaceutical Era. Dogs were
kept for some time in an atmosphere
containing 20 per cent of acetylene
without deleterious effect, and it would
appear that living beings are not in

This method Of improving the air in

1t is not popularity known, says a
contributor to Good Health, that fruit
acids are germicidal. The juice OF
the lemon is as deadly to cholera
germs as corrosive sublimate, or sui
phur fumes, or formaldehyd, or any
other disinfectant. 1t is SO powerful a
germicide that if the juice of one lem
on be squeezed into glass of water,
that is then left standing 10 or Is min
utes, the water will be disinfected; it
makes little difference where the water
has been obtained, or whether it has
been boiled or filtered. This is a fac
tor worth knowing, for any of us may
find himself under circumstances in
which it is impossible to get either
boiled or filtered water. In such a
case, the juice of a lemon will purify
the water perfectly.
