downstairs. rushed into a drugstore,
rushed home.
Mrs Bowser noted his excited look
and the package under his arm and
was at the door to exclaim:
"If anything has happened why
didn't you telephone me? What is
wrong, and what have you got there?
Don't keep me in suspense!"

quart bottles which comprised its con-

back stairs, down into the basement

odor followed him as he hustled around,
and by the time he had returned to the
sitting room Mrs. Bowser had recov-

'What have l been doing? Saving

"How?"
''By killing off the microbes and bac-
