A New Disinfectant

AS a result of experiments conduct
ed at the Hygienic Laboratory Of the
United States Public Health Service
il is announced that a new disinfect-
ant, possessing qualities superior to
ordinary disinfectants has recent
ly been discovered. The announce
ment is particularly important at this
time. coming as it does in the face Of
the shortage in coal tar derivatives
which has resulted from the European
conflict.
The new preparation is derived
from pine oil, a by-product in the
manufacture of turpentine. 1t is cas-
lily prepared by mixing certain pro-
portions of the oil with rosin and
sodium hydroxide solution, the fin
ished product being reddish-brown Ii
auid, rather thick and oily in appear
ance but free from turbidity. With
water it makes a perfectly white emul-
sion, much resembling milk. 1t has
a pleasing odor, no Objectionable
taste, and attacks neither fabrics nor
metals. 1t possesses over four times
the disinfectant properties of carbolic
acid and is altogether nontoxic, so
that it may safely be used as throat
spray or mouth wash in solutions OF
the ordinary strength. The cost of
the preparation is remarkably low as
it can be manufactured for less than
fifty cents a gallon, solely from pro-
ducts which are produced in this coun-
try.
Many of the disinfectants now or
the market are neither efficient noi
economical, it having been demon
| strated that number of the most ex'
pensive and widely advertised are ex'
| tremely weak in disinfecting power
so much so that their strength is un'
determinable by ordinary methods
The sale of compounds of this nature
constitutes fraud. A second-clas:
of proprietary preparations are OF
guaranteed strength, thus putting
legal responsibility upon the manufac
tureer, but the cost Of these per uni
of disinfecting power is frequently ex
cessive. The householder is therefor
often at a loss to select a disinfect
ant which is efficient, economical am
of constant strength and is is believes
that this new compound, which is t
be known as "Hygienic Laborator,
Pine-Oil Disinfectant," will becom
one of the most useful preparations
that character.

When Mother Goes to Lodge

When mother goes to lodge the house
Becomes a dreary, lonesome place,
The eats all sit around the stove
e. Like angels fallen out of grace,
The fire goes slowly down and out,
While chilly winds blow in the
cracks
To welcome father when he comes
To let his weary bones relax.
The kettle SINNERS on the range
With scarce a hint Of supper there,
While through the darkness, up the
street,
For mothers form we vainly stare;
For mills must stop and nations fall
And starving millions go unfed
While mother goes to lodge to hear
The mystic rites and rituals read.
Poor weakling women, bossed and led,
Who neither peace nor comfort
know
Because the menfolks run the house
And poster and ill-treat them so!
You folks who holler women's rights
And all who stand for such dodge
Could learn, methinks, a wholesome
lot
, In watching mother start for lodge.

The Use of Commas

A letter, so constructed without
punctuation that it can be read in
number of different ways, giving dir
ectly opposite meanings, was printed
in an Indiana newspaper in 1855, says
the Indianapolis News. The letter
follows:
"He is an old experienced man in
vice and wickedness he is never found
opposing the works of inquiry he
takes delight in the downfall of the
neighborhood he never rejoices in the
prosperity Of any of his fellow crea-
lures he is always ready to assist in
destroying the peace of society he
takes no pleasure in serving the Lord
he is uncommonly diligent in sowing
discord among his friends and &C
quaintances he takes no pride in lab
oring to promote the cause of Christ
ianity he has not been negligent in
endeavoring to stigmatiZe all public
teachers he makes no eXertions to
subdue his evil passions he tries hard
to build up Satan's kingdom he lends
no aid to the support of the Gospel
among the heather he contributes
largely to the evil adversary he pays
no attention to good advice he gives
great heed to the devil he will never
go to heaven he must go where he will
receive his just recompense OF re-
ward"

Today's Poem
HOW TO WIN

HOW TO WIN
1t takes little courage,
And little self-control,
And some grim determination,
If you want to reacn a goal.
1t takes a deal of striving,
And firm and stern set chin,
No matter what the battle,
If you're really out to win.
There's no Easy Path to Glory,
There's no Rosy Road to Fame,
Life, however we may view 1T,
Is no simple parlor game;
But its prizes call for fighting,
For endurance and for grit,
For a rugged disposition,
And a Observation-Disclosures.
You must take blow or give one,
You must risk and you must lose,
And expect that in the struggle,
You will suffer from bruise.
But you mustn't vince or falter,
If fight you once begin,
Be a man and face the battle
That's the only way to win.
