Fruit juices Don't Kill Germs

In one OF our exchanges, published
near here, an article was printed @
few weeks ago which Is likely 10 be
dangerous because the information
was incorrect. 1t has been thought
that the juice OF lemons and other
fruit would kill germs of typhoid few
err. cholera and other diseases This
article repeats this statement. The
city chemist OF cleveland, o.. recently
made careful experiments 10 see II
this were true. and found out that
the disease germs we've not killed In
this way. They do not flourish so well
and grow so rapidly In these fruit
juices but they are not killed, and are
still very dangerous. We must keep
on boiling our water where there is
any hanger from infection from dis
case germs.

meath a mantle, after the manner OF
the familiar Welsback gas light; pumI
the water, and drive the electric light
station with engines using alcohol
and supply energy for the power sta
ton of the street railway In the same
manner.
Runners can use alcohol in an en-
CINE for threshing grain, Smelling corn
saving wood. grinding feed. pumping
water. running cream separators. en-
silage cutters, churns. Gasoline and
kerosene engines for such uses are on
the market. and they are very simple
and efficient, producing power at low
er cost than steam, besides being
easier managed. It appears. from late
announcement. that alcohol can be
used in this type OF engine 10 even
better advantage, and the machine
can be made even more simple by do
ing away with the carburetter. II has
been sxz.matic that II anything went
wrong with a gasoline engine the
trouble would probably be found IN
the carburetter. In using alcohol the
fluid is sprayed directly into the cyl
Under through several fine screens,
and is vaporized there, mixing with
air which is drawn In at the same
time. and the mixed charge Is explod-
ed by an electric spark. There is an
esthetic advantage in the use Of al
cohol in this way, for the reason that
the smell Of the products of combus-
ton is not offensive as is the case
with gasoline.
The explosion engine. by reason OF
its simplicity, costs less than a steam
engine OF equal power By reason Of
it's more complete consumption OF
the power Of it's fuel, 1t is less costly
to operate. II can be operated with
very much less Attendance, I'm many
cases being left for hours to its own
devices, and It's useful life is very
much longer.

II alcohol does all that is hoped OF
it, the farmer. the isolated household
er, and the small village without wa
ter power, will be more nearly on an
equal with those, possessing that nat
ural advantage. There are at The
present time few farmers in this
country who have small brooks, and
by means Of the use OF water wheels
possess cheap power. which they
utilize for all the operations Of the
farm; lighting the house, barn and
grounds, pumping the domestic water
supply threshing grain. grinding corn,
cutting ensilage. running cream sep
arators and churns, saving wood, and
in some instances operating a box
making factory. Now unless alcohol
fails in it's very evident mission othars
can have these things at a cost not
prohibitive. 1t may even become pos
sible for farmers to d. some irriga-
ton work on their own account, for
even In the east there ere times when
irrigation would be profitable. If the
plant were chelp enough 50 that a
farmer could afford TO have It in read
mess for emergencies: in the west ir-
rigation in many cases is the only sal
walton.
There are, OF course. difficulties 10
be overcome. One expert states that
alcohol attacks iron and aluminium.
and therefore all parts OF engines with
which the alcohol comes in contact
will have 10 be made of brass, or
some metal other than iron or alum
mum. The cylinders Of gas and gaso-
line engines are usually made Of iron,
and II they must be made Of bronze
or lined with bronze, the cost will be
greater.
II is the common belief and ex-
pectation that the use of alcohol for
all these purposes. and many more
that we have not mentioned, may
bring about a condition that will
amount TO something very like a rsvo-
luton, in domestic and farm life and
In certain industries.
