TUBERCULOSIS GERMS

"If a person who has tuberculosis
drinks out of cup and then another
person should drink out of the same
cup before the cup has been washed,
the germ may be transmitted in this
way" says James Jenkins jr. in the
Woman's Home Companion. Boiling
water kills germs as effectively as any
antiseptic, and dishes should never
be considered absolutely clean that
have not been washed in this way.
Two persons should never use the
same towel The plan of individual
washstands, which is so commonly
used on the continent in Europe,
should be more generally adopted in
America.
"If you have telephone in your
house the mouthpiece of the telephone
should be cleaned every day, just as
we clean the dishes we use on the
table, and should be oroughly dis
infected at least twice a week. Germs
of pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis
and other things may be caught from
a telephone.
"A good formula for a disinfectant
is a few drops of formaldehyde in
two-ounce bottle of water, adding
enough extract of lavender or some
other notwithstanding extract, so
that the odor remaining after the
mouthpiece is cleaned will be agree
able. Any druggist could mix such
a disinfectant for you very easily and
inexpensively."

INDIA's FREE DlsPENsARlEs

Although the Indian government has
established many free dispensares for
the poor says a writer in the October
Wide World Magazine, there is stlll
plenty of work for those run by private
parties. Every morning, from Z to 8
o'clock there assemblies a crowd of
dirty, chattering coolies of the lowest
caste. Having secured silence, the dis
penser, whose knowledge of Hindu
stani is probably not too perfect, en-
deavors to diagnose the cases by dint
of much questioning and gesticulating.
The native is not satisfied with medi-
cine alone He expects to have his
pulse felt and his name written down
in the day book, otherwise he feels he
will not recover. On the other hand,
he is not at all anxious to be bandaged,
and positively objects to being poul-
ticed. Their way of doctoring a sore
or cut is to fill it with dirt. If this is
