No Menace In sanatorIunn.

DIR. Edward L. Trudeau. who built
the first tuberculosis sanatorium In
the United States In 1885, says
When ! bought the first land on
which the Adirondack Cottage sanato-
rum is built, paid s25 an acre for it,
but the price was then thought abb
surdly high My last purchase OF five
acres cost me $4,000 To my knowl-
edge. there has never been an employe
who came to the sanatorium In sound
health who developed tuberculosis
while there: and sanatorium can no
more endanger the health of the neigh
borhood In which 1t is built, even II
the residences are at its very gates,
than II could If 1t were placed on top
OF high mountain miles away from
habitation."

Cockroaches carry diseases.
They are almost as dangerous as
the house fly.
Evidence as to reaches spreading
other diseases is less direct, but there
is no doubt they play an important
part in the dissemination of diph-
liberia, tonsilitis and tuberculosis,
carrying the organisms on their feet
and in their intestinal canals.
Cockroaches overrun kitchens,
pantries, garbage heaps and decay

their feet, or feelers. and dropping
them later in another place.

Sodium fiourid costs Is cents a

The powder, placed about in small
heaps, has no value. 1t should be
spread in thin layers in runways

With a blower it should be forced
