To bring about disinfection Of the

County Public Health Association has
drafted the following recommends

quested to disinfect= all cars after

drinking cups to be boiled or steamed;
all bed linen to be boiled at the end
of every trip; mattresses and blankets
to be disinfected every twenty-four
hours. AS few trips of the trains end

urcs effective in this State.
1t will also be recommended that
all steamboats,. railroad stations, ho-
tells and saloons be subject to the
