AUTO TO FIGHT
DEADLY GER MS
Health Board Pleased With
Tests Made of the New
SteriliZing ContriYance
is FIRST OF IT'S KIND
Apparatus Is the Only Port
able Machine for the
Destruction of Bacteria
is FIRST OF IT'S KIND

The only portable sterilizer in the
United States had its first official test
Yesterday at the Dundon Iron Works.
If the deadly little germs that were put
into its capacious sterilizing chamber
do not show signs of life within five
days the apparatus will be accepted by
the Board of Health and sent forth to
! wage war on bacteria.
I The steriliZer is an automobile affair,
up to- date in every respect. In case of
an epidemic the apparatus can be
moved from door to door in the stricken
district. The disinfecting compartment
is big enough to hold all the bedding
of an entire household.
! Though the Health Board does not
anticipate any outbreak of contagious
disease, it declares that the sterilizer is
! indispensable as precautionary meas
] ure 1t is the intention of the board as
soon as the apparatus is accented to
disinfect all shoddy goods manufac-
tured in this city and all clothing made
! in Chinatown. Consequently the ma
chine will never be idle.
The apparatus is q massive thing,
| weighing four tons. 1t requires two en-
! gineers to operate it in it's travels. It's
maximum speed is five miles an hour.
The cost to the city will be $4,000. Oil is
used as fuel.
! Under the direction of DR.. Hassler
| and Dr. Ragan of the Board of Health
! the sterilizing apparatus had a thor
ough test yesterday morning. Three
! different species of germs were placed
| in pile of soiled bedding and put into
! the machine. A vacuum was created
! in the disinfecting chamber, which was
! afterward filed with formaIine gas.
/ The clothing was left in the compart-
ment half an hour. If the germs show
signs of life after five days the appa-
ratus will not be deemed success. 1.
One of the species of little life-de-
stroyers operated upon was the deadly
anthrax germ. This is the hardest of
/ anthrax test it will kill any of the in
visible messengers of disease.
When DR.. Hassler produced cards
containing threads in which the germs
were clustered there was scurrying
| among the spectators until the physi-
clan announced that the germs were
! all under his control. The three species
used in the experiment are diphtheria,
anthrax and strathylococci germs.
The patent on the apparatus is owned
by P. F. Dundon, proprietor of the
Dundon Iron Works. 1t was intended
to try the machine in climbing some of
the nearby hills yesterday, but the
paint on the auto was not thoroughly
dry.
The Board of Health naturally takes
great pride in having the most up-to-
date apparatus of its kind. Though
every large city has stationary steriliZ-
! ers, San Francisco will be the first to
i have a portable. one.

A MONG the several family parties en-
n route to the Pacific Coast in a
tourist" car not long ago was one con-
sisting of father, mother and three chill
drcu The Youngest child was a bright
eyed. restless little girl OF five, who soon
made herself thoroughly at home with
everybody in the car, going from one
section to another at her own pleasure
and contributing largely to the cntertain-
mcnt of the train-weary travellers.
Little Miss Busy they called her and
She certainly was the busiest wee woman
that ever kept a carful of all kinds of
people on the move.
Through New-MeXico and Arizona a
number of cowboys and Indians came
into the car and sat apart from the
through passengers, in seats given up to
their kind As soon as settled in their
seats. each in turn was visited and closely
inspected by Miss Busy. FearlesSly she
shook hands with the forbidding-looking
redmen and perched COntentedly on the
knee of one and then another OF the big
cattle men.
At one of the first stations on entering
California four Cinnamon entered the car
and took up quarters as remote from the
other occupants as possible, where they
snapped vowels among themselves, after
their own peculiar manner, to all ap-
pcarances utterly obhvious of the pres
ence of others in the car. Not long We're
they left to themselves. Little Miss Busy
soon was in their midst, round-eyed with

What Is q Baby?

Here are some good definitions of a
baby:
"The bachelors horror, the mothers
treasure. and the despotic tyrant of the
most Republican household"
"The morning caller, MONDAY crawler,
and midnight bawler."
"The only precious possession that
never excites envy"
"The latest edition of humanity, OF
which every couple think they possess
the finest copy"
"a native Of all countries, who speaks
the language of none"
"a few inches of COO and wiggle,
writhe and scream, filed with suction
aud testing apparatus for milk, and auto
matte alarm to regulate supply"
"a thing we are expected to kiss and
look as if we enjoyed it."
"a little stranger with free pass to
the hearts best affections. "-Ex.

Economy of Heat and Health.

The average humidity in artiiicially
heated houses is about 80 degrees; the
average temperature, 10 to "A degrees.
1t has been found by conclusive tests
that room with humidity Of W
degrees and a temperature Of 10 de-
grees seems warmer and more COM
Portable than room Of - degrees of
heat and humidity Of 80 degrees. DR..
Henry NJ. Smith says that If room ut
GS degrees is not warm enough for any
healthy person 1t is because the humid
ity Is too low, and water should be
evaporated to bring the moisture up to
the right degree. In other words. wa
ter instead of coal Chould be used to
make rooms comfortable when the
temperature has reached GS degrees.
AS water is cheaper than coal. the rule
should become popular one.-Chicago

Do Not Forget.

That rapid eating is slow suicide.
That happy children are almost in
variably healthy children.
That in sleeping In cold room, es
tablish a habit of breathing through the
nose, never with the mouth open.
That severe paroxysm of coughing
may be arrested by tablespoonful Of
glycerine in wineglass of hot milk.
That to compel child to eat anything
against which its palate naturally rebels
is a cruelty at the moment, and is likely
to produce evil results later on.
That bits of white wax used freely
when packing white garments or fabrics,
such as tulle or silk evening gowns,
choice lace, crepe shawls, etc., will keep
them from turning yellow.
That few drops of the tincture OF
benzoin put into the water in which the
face is bathed will prevent the shiny ap.
pearance of the skin with which so
many people are affected, especially in
warm weather.
That cold water is the salvation of the
complexion. It strengthens the skin by
stimulating the circulation, and renders
it almost proof against chaps and erup-
tions. When the skin needs cleaning,
warm water Is absolutely necessary.
