When there has been serious illness
In the home and while there is Seri-
Gus illness one of the most important
things to do is 70 thoroughly sterillze
the linen-not only the bed linen. but
all han~dkerchiefS. towels and every
thing with which the patient has come
or is constantly coming in contact
with.
The moment that linen is removed
from 4 Sickbed it should be put in cold
water and kept there until time for
washing. In water il becomes quite
harmless. and absolutely all danger
from it is eliminated,
One great trouble is that doctors who
advise soaking the linen in various
germ killing solutions or promptly boil
inc the linen do not realize that all
stains in the linen will under such con-
ditionS be made practically indelible.
OF course every housewife prides her
self upon her spotlesS linen. and to
stain Il great quantity Of it is. in her
