I'm New York, who recently lectured
on the subject and who during his
stay in AIiddietown visited some OF
the tenements and other places, has
written the following letter to the
Middletown Sun:
Editor OF The Sun. Middletown, Conn:
My Dsar Sir:-After talking with a
number of people in Middletown. who
are deeply Interested and we'll inform
ed as to the housing problem in Am
erican cities, of securing good homes
for your unskilled wage earners at
rents within their reach, / believe that
in order TO secure slch homes you
will have to make a more careful ar
rangement OF the city and that ii may
be necessary TO make a combination
OF builders so that n large number of
buildings can be erected at a COMPARE
lively small cost. This can probably
be as effectively done by using con-
crete as in any other way and there
are a number of concerns which man
ufacture concrete houses.
/ would suggest that this question
OF housing is one OF your most import
ant problems and that II could well be
taken up fmm eddately by those who
are interested in improving the condi-
tions of living in your city.
Sincerely yours,
BENJAMIN G. MARSH,
Executive Secretary OF Committee
on Congestion of Population in New
York.

individuals as a part of the houseclean-

Carpets and rugs are taken into the

which might contain harmful germs
floats about, to be breathed by any
passerby who may happen along while
the process Is going on. Then, too, he
points out, housecleaning cannot be
thorough and cannot accomplish the
result looked for If simply the old
method of sweeping, beating and scrub :

cleanliness, from the standpoint OF
health, there must be disinfection.
Disinfection can be accomplished by
any housewife with very little expense
and with very little inconvenience.
