Laundry Kills Germs.

The current United States public
health reports declare that public
iauudrles are real health agents. An
Official investigation, carried on in New
York under the supervision Of the gov
erumelt authorities, found that in
stead Of The public Iauudries spreading
disease as some irresponsible DeoDIe
have claimed. they are really doing a
good service for the people iu destroy
ing germs OF all kinds According to
lne findings OF the department there
is no serious matter for complaint
against the lauudrjes so far al. protect
ing the public health is concerned. In
these days Of undertaking practically
all OF the public and semi-pubHc iusti-
buttons have been condemned. The
lauudries have been the objects of at
tack, but now that the United States
public health reports show them 10 be
preserVers OF health rather than the
spreaders of disease. there is no pro-
vocation for the charges against them.
IT is generally known that ali white
goods are thoroughly sterilized in the
modern laundries during the washing
process. Colored goods are also ster-
1lzed but not SO thoroughly. on ac-
count Of the fact that precautions are
taken against disColoratiou. Aside
from this sterilizing which the clothes
are given, the government reports
snow that the ironing or mangIing pro
cesses with the use Of intense heat are
or themselves sufficient to destroy
germs. Any iron hot enough to iron
