The Twins Have a ProposaI

The Twins Have a ProposaI.
It was half past three ON delight
full summer afternoon. The twins
stood at the gate with two hatless
youths, performing what seemed to be
the serious operation of separating
their various tennis rackets and shoes
from the conglomerate tumble. Finally.
laughing and calling back over their
shoulders, they sauntered lazily up the
walk toward the house, and the young
men set off in the direction from
which they had come. They were hard
ly out Of hearing distance when the
front door opened. and Aunt Grace
beckoned hurriedly to the twins.
Come on, quick" she said. "Where
in the world have you been all day1
Did you have any luncheon? Mrs. For.
rest and Jim were here. and they in
vited you to 90 home with them for
a week in the country. said I knew
you'd want to go, and they promised
to come for you at four, but couldn't
find any place. l. suppose it Is too
late now. It's"
"A weekw
"At Forrests'T
"Come on, Lark, sure we have time
enough. Well be ready In fifteen min
utes."
Come on up. Auntie: we'll tell you
where we've BEEN"
The twins few up the stairs, their
aunt AZ close behind as she deemed
safe. Inside their own room they
promptly and ungracefully kicked of
their loose pumps. tossed their tennis
shoes and racquets ON the bed, and BE-
gan tugging ut the cords Of their
MILDLY blouses.
"You 60 and wash, Carol" said Lark,
"while I comb. Then can have the
bathroom to myself. And hurry up!
You haven't any time to prinQ."

Disinfectants and Their Use.
. oseseseoooseeeeesess,

Good disinfectants destroy the
germs Of contagious diseases. the ex.
ternal parasites, such as lice and mites,
and In some cases the eggs Of para.
site worms. The eggs of some kinds
Of worms are SO resistant that disin-
fectants other than heat have little
effect upon them. The disinfectants
should be thoroughly applied to the
Interior Of the houses, worked into
all the cracks and crevices, spread over
the ceiling and the floor, the roost1
dropping boards, and nest boxes. Al
the same time the feeding and drink
ing troughs should be disinfected BY
pouring boiling water into them and
afterwards drying them in the sun. Dis
infectants are most easily applied to
the walls and ceilings with a spray
pump or by using a brush. AS 1t ie
difficult to keep the chemicals from
coming into contact with the face and
hands, the more harmless of these
mixtures should generally be used. Or
dinary limewash made from freshly
slaked lime is excellent. and its prop
critics are well known to all. In the
case Of an actual outbreak of virulent
disease, 1t Is well to add to the white
wash SIX ounces Of crude carbolic acid
to each gallon to increase its activity
as a disinfectant.
The kerosene emulsion, which is fire.
quently used to destroy mites. may
readily be converted into a disinfect
ant. To make the emulsion, shave
half pound Of hard laundry soap into
half a gallon Of soft water and boil
the mixture until all the soap is dis.
solved, then remove 1t to a safe dis.
tance from the fire and stir into 1t, at
once, while still hot, two gallons Of
kerosene oil. This makes a thick,
creamy emulsion, or stock mixture.
When 1t is to be used for killing mites
in the houses. one quart Of this emul.
sion is mixed with ten quarts of wa.
ter. When 1t Ii to be used a. a dis.
infectant, stir well, then add one pint
and again stir until all is well mixed
The compound solution Of cresol lie
one Of the best disinfectants which
may be purchased ready for use. II
contains SO per cent Of cresol, and one
pint of 1t added to ten quarts Of water
makes a solution Of the proper strength
to apply to the houses or to spray over
the ground. A flve per cent solution
Of carbolic acid Zone pint caroolic acid
to ten quarts Of water) is about
equally efacacious. The choice b.
tween the two - Q mateoe Of coovo.
