Tea as a Germ Killer.

Tea is now evelated from the posi-
ton Of a social beverage to the dig
nifty OF a germ destroyer. DR.. Nc
Naught, the medical investigator, has
found that typhoid bacilli placed in
cold or lukewarm tea are greatly dim
inished at the end Of four hours, and
have completely disappeared at the
end of "a hours. The value OF this
finding is obvious to military sur
geons. Sterilized water may become
infected after it is placed in the can
teen. Canteens which have once been
filed with infected water may retain
the infectious germs for some time.
In filling the canteens with tea the
infection with typhoid bacilli would.
after a few hours, be almost nil

The Body Sellers.


Mayor Speer Of Denver was talking
the other day about a pair Of politi-

"They gave themselves away" he
said. Don't tricksters always give
themselves away? 1t reminds me of
the two men who wanted to sell their
corpses for dissection.
These two men, miserably clad,
called on the dean Of medical col
lege in New York.

vation, SIR the spokesman said. We
are well on in years, and it is clear
that we haven't much longer to live.

tered.

Its Chief Use and a Method Of Deter
mining Good from Bad Explained.
White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. IT IS
made by %corroding metallic lead into
a white powder, through exposing 1t
to the fumes OF weak acetic acid and
carbonic acid gas; this powder is then
ground and mixed with linseed oil,
making a thick paste, in which form
it is packed and sold for painting
purposes. The painter thins it down
to the proper. consistency for applica-
ton by the addition of more linseed
Oil.
The above refers, of course, to
pure, genuine White Lead only. Adult
which there are many brands on the
market, is generally some sort OF
composition containing only a per

Such an ideal food is found in.
Grape-Nuts, made of whole wheat

of .diastase in the barley which

The phosphates also, placed up un-
