HEALTH HINTS
sewereas

Experiments have shown that the
aid in the streets contains more germs
than the air in public sewers and that
the chances of direct infection from,
disease germs through the air OF drains
or sewers is so slight as to be practi-
cally negligible.
Thus Is exploded one OF the popular
misconceptions regarding the danger
of contracting disease from inhaling
sewer gas just because it has high
ly unpleasant odor.
The constant inhaling Of poisonous
gases, odorous or nonoTdorous, may
eventually reduce h" 'Fital'ty so that
usual ability OF the nealthy pody
to throw OF the ulss;.so germs may be
weakened.
Such gases may arise from the de-
composition OF organic matter in the
home as result of lack of cleanlt-
ness quite as we'll as they may origin.
ate In a public sewer.
Cleanliness about the home, a GER
tain amount Of plumbing maintained
in a clean condition, and no fear of
open windows are factors which favor
a strong vitality.
Plumbing is the barrier between the
