Pointing out that an insecticide is
not a dependable disinfectant and that
there is d wide difference between an
antiseptic and d deodorant. the Unit

emphasizes the use Of the right prep

itation is especially Important in pre-
venting losses from animal diseases.
and. along with attention TO cleauli-
ness. disinfectants are frequently
necessary, especially after an out
break Of a contagious disease Here
is condensed information on the Sub
jet, prepared as a result Of the de-
partments experience in advising
persons who misunderstood the pur-
pose and correct use Of disinfectants.
The word infected means con-
taminated with or affected by disease
germs; "disinfected' means freed of
disease germs. A "disinfectant7 is a
product that destroys disease germs
or renders them harmless. An "anti-
septic Is a substance that prevents
the development and growth Of dis
ease germs, but an antiseptic is not a
disinfectant unless it j., capable of de-

Formaldehyde is one of the most
powerful disinfectants known. but it
is very weak insecticide; and. con

for insects and all forms of animal
life, while it has little power as a
germcide or disinfectant. 1t is well
to remember also that "deodorants'

Z 1863. one smashing blow by the al
lied Indians was to regain this ter
ritory for the French and their red

The blow fell and the Indians were
so successful IN their surprise attacks

captured and nearly all the garrisons
massacred. Pontiac was in personal

IMPORTAN DECISION

That a husband cannot make sub
stantial gift Of money or other com
munity personal property to relatives
or other individuals without the con-
sent Of his wife, is the gist OF recent
decision Of the state Supreme Court
written by Judge Kenneth Mackln-
,osh. Community property Is that
which is acquired after marriage.
The decision holds that though Q
husband is in legal management ana
control Of community personal prop
ertv. and can handle it in SUCH man
ner as he finds profitable to the com
munity interest, he has no right to
make gifts from it without the con
sent Of his wife.
In the case of Howard ct. al. appel
lants. VS.. Annie c. Park, as admins
tratrax, it was shown that Joseph H.
Parker, deceased, had given, prior to
his death, $500 in cash and $500 in
Liberty Bonds to his sister, Katie NJ.
Parker.
In his decision, which was concurred
in by the majority of the court, Judge
Macintosh holds that Joseph II.
Parker was not authorized to make
such a gift. "The testimony shows.
says Judge Mackistosh, that Joseph
II. Parker had been married for a
great number of years and that the
$500 in cash and $500 in Liberty
Bonds were acquired after marriage.
Presumption therefore arises that this
was community personal property.
"The law which gives the husband
the management asd control of the
community personal property does not
give him the right to make substan-
tial gifts thereof against the consent
of his wife. The statute intends no
more than to make him a statutory
agent of the community
After declaring the gift void, the
decision goes on to say that if it had
been shown that the money could have
been deducted from Parker's commu-
nifty share, different situation might
have been presented.
