Creosote Timber in New Work.

That England and Germany, with
their realization of the need for con-
servation of national resources, are
far more particular about the use of
creosoted timber for heavy construc-
tion work than the United States. and
the lesson for the United States in this
attitude. is a feature of forest service

Department of Agriculture in co-opera-
tion with the American Wood Preserv-
ers' Association.
The bulletin says that in Germany

icals or preserving oils, while in the
United States only about 80 per cent
are SO treated. 1t is pointed out that
the use of creosote and similar pre-
servatives in heavy timber for building &
construction was largely increasing.
The plants of the Atlantic coast re-
gion consumed the most creosote, and
the least of zinc chloride. The south
ern coast region was second in creo-
sote consumption, but led all in 1918 in
the quantity of construction timber
treated. The interior eastern region
was the heaviest user of domestic
creosote, and led in the amount of

The prediction by Gen. Gorgas that
sanitary science promises to enable the
white races to occupy and develop the
tropics has raised the question whether
the supposed dangers of climate in
these regions have not been misunder-
stood. The high temperatures are not
in themselves perilous to those who be-
come accustomed to them and take
sensible sanitary and physical precau-
tions. Personal hygiene the avoidance
of alcohol and other excesses and an
accomm odation of the diet to the new
conditions, make life in the tropics
tolerable to white residents. The theory
that the dark races are protected by the
pigment has been based on the ex
perience that they can Withstand the
heat better and do more labor But
exhaustive studies by scientists. as re-
ported in the Medical Journal, indicate
that the superior temperature regula-
ton of the dark races is an acquired
characteristic developed by use, and
suggests that the white races. when
long enough domiciled in the tropics
under sanitary conditions. will become
as acclimatized.

An aid to sanitation especially use
full in the country is a small garbage
incinerator which can be attached to
the ordinary kitchen range. The sur
plus heat from the range will dry the
garbage in a short time. After all the
moisture has been taken up. a damper
is opened which allows draft from
the firebox to pass over the dried gar
bage and consume it to ashes in
few minutes. The ashes can be re-
moved from the incinerator without
being mixed with those of the range

Paint Preferable to Plaster.

The interior of the sleeping porch
may be merely given two or three coats
of white paint. or it may be plastered
and otherwise finished the same as any
room in the house. The former method
of finishing is much more desirable
than the latter. however. because of the
fact that the room will be subjected
to great deal of dampness in the
spring and fall of the year. and it is
practically impossible to keep the fin
ishing materials from going bad un-
der these conditions.
When possible, the porch should be
placed on the side of the house which
is. exposed to the wind and sun, as the
latter is the greatest purifier that is
known. If wind and sun cannot be OBJ
tanned in the same place it is better to
choose the location so that the latter
will have a chance to keep the room
pure and sweet and healthy.
