Commercial CluRl Night.

At a meeting of the Executive
Committee of the MissouriA.Fed =
GRAFTON Of Commercial Club held
in St Louis last week it was de-
cided to ask every town in the
state to observe Commercial
Club Night" on the evening of
Tuesday, February 24th. This
call has been sent out to every
town in the state, big and little.
Those who haven't a regular
commercial club are urged to
organize one on that night and
make it the occasion for the
greatest love feast and "get to-
gether" meeting ever held in
the community whether it be in
a town of.500 population or of
5000.
The executive committee of the
state federation hopes that a
thousand towae big and little
will observe Commercial Club
Night" and make it the opening
gun for commercial and agricul.
tural activity in 1914, which it is
proposed to make the greatest
year in these,respects in the his
tory of the state. In most in
stances it will mean a good sup
PER or banquet to which the BUSH
ness men in town will invite the
farmers from the surrounding
territory.
The idea back Of Commercial
CLUB Night" is to get hundreds
of towns aroused this year that
have not followed this custom in
the past and if the project is
taken hold Of in the night spirit
these hundreds of meetings will
not only literally set Missouri on
fire with commercial club en-
thusiasm but it will set a splendid
exaapie, to every other State in
the union and show the the world
that Missouri leads in the great
battle for Agricultural and Com
mercial progress. 1--WE are going
to try to get a thousand towns
hig and little to observe Com
mercial Club Night" said Secre-
tary A. N. Lindsey of the State
Federation of Commercial Clubs
in Columbia the other day.
"They have been doing a lot
of blowing in other states but
Missouri is doing more with the
Farm Adviser movement, good
roads and other similar progress
i've things than any of them.
Some of these days when the
outer world find out what we are
really doing and what a great
state Missouri really is the trains
wont be able TO carry the new
comers who will won't to cast
their lot with us.
The next State Convention of
the Federation Of Clubs will be
held at Jefferson City on March
10Th and 18th and that it will be
the greatest coming together of
Missouri business men and farm
ers ever held in the history of
the state there is little doubt.

Efficient Disinfecting.

The somewhat general prevail
ence Of Smallpox, ;Diptheria, Ty-
phoid and other diseases in some
sections Of Southeast Missouri
calls attention to the need by
everyone of knowl dge of a
thorough and absolutely reliable
method OF disinfscting.
The somewhat general belief
that the gas resulting from burn
ing sulphur is wrong and conse-
quentIy dangerous, While the
supler gas is fatal 10 may dir
sease germs, it's by no means
fatal to all disease germs when
liberated in room.
A cheap, absolutely reliable
and perfectly safe method Of dis
infection is the following: Close
the room tightly. place a dish
pan, or tub, on small blocks, or
bricks, in the room. In the pan
place an eight or ten quart pail.
Place in the pail seven and one
half ounces (about .hah
pound) Of Permanganate Of Pot
ash for each one thousand cubic
fleet of space to be disinfeoted.
Also measure into another vessel
soIe pint of formalin Gao percent
formaldehyde soluLion) for each
thousand cubic feet Of space.
When everything is in readiness
pour the formaldehyde into the
pail onto the Permanganate, and
get out of the room Immediately.
The chemical action between
these two solutions fills the room
with formaldehyde gas, which 10
absolutely fatal to all disease
germs. After keeping the room
closed for four hours, it may be
opened and aired and JIG tllen
ready for occupancy.
This method of disinfection has
several notable advantaee es, chief
of which, of course, is its absO-
lutte relia abiIity; the formaldehyde
vapor will not tarnish metals,
such as light fixtures, or metal
beds, as will sulphur, Another
advantage is that no fire is nee
essary, thus eliminating the dam
ger of setting the building onfire.
Both the forma!dehyde and
the permanganate OF potash are
cheap and can be purchased Tt
any drug store. A room should
always be disinfected after oc-
cupancy.by aiperson with typhoid
smallpox, diptheria, tuberculosis,
or other contagious or infectious
disease. ia the case of tubercu-
losis the amount Of each chemi-
cal should be increased 80 per
cent.
