Distinction Laws
Must Be Observed
Enlightening Information Or
Communicable Diseases
Given Public

Two things that are within the
reach Of Notwithstanding and soap,
literally mixed with hot water-are
effective disinfectants of the articles
that have been used by person suf-
fering from an infectious disease.
This applies to dishes, utensils, bed
ding, clothing, and other personal ar
ticles, as we'll as to the walls and
floors of the room he has occupied.
This is the way DR.. Riley, Chief of
the Bureau of Communicable diseases,
of the State Department of Health,
summed up the requirements of the
Department, in regard to disinfection
after case of communicable disease.
"The State Law mentions two kinds
of disinfection," he continued, "con-
current, we mean the sort of disinfec-
ton that is carried on continuously
during the course Of the disease. For
Nuisance, person who has a common
cold, or an uncommon one, an acute
case of influenza, sore throat, diph-
liberia, pneumonia, tuberculosis, scar
let fever, measles, whooping cough,
infantile paralysis-any one of the
diseases that is accompanied by dis
charges from the throat or nose, is
urged to either use paper handker-
chiefs that can be destroyed by burn
ing, or to catch the discharges in
handkerchiefs made of cheese cloth,
or other soft cloth, that can either be
destroyed by burning, or can be disin-
fected, or sterilized by boiling in hot
water
"When a doctor or health officer,
tells the person who is caring for the
one who has communicable disease,
that the dishes used by a t. b. must
be boiled after each meal; that the
child who has scarlet fever or diphthe-
ria or just an ordinary sore throat,
must have his own towel and wash
cloth; that such things must be kept
separate from the bed linen and tow
els of the rest of the family, and must
be boiled before laundering, with
plenty of hot water and strong soap,
he is simply advising the protective
vigilance that must be applied every
day, so that the disease does not
spread to other people. Another in
stance of day by day disinfection that
is required, is the conscientious ster-
ilization of all discharges before they
are disposed of, in cases of typhoid
and other diseases of the digestive
tract.
"Terminal disinfection is the gener-
al cleansing and sterilization of room
and bedding, and personal belongings
that takes place after a patient is up
and out-or released from quarantine.
if he has had one of the communicable
diseases for which isolation is requir-
ed. And nothing better has been dis
covered so far, than scrubbing the
walls and floor with boiling water and
soap, sterilizing the sheets, and blank
cts and covers by boiling, and by let
ting in plenty of sunlight and fresh
air."

forming public opinion, the papers
of this country occupy an important
position. Despite the low price of
papers and their wide circulations,
he deplores the fact that there is an
ever increasing in difference on the part
of the public to public affairs. He
said this may be due, to some little
extent, to the growth of the nation
and the fact that the public is get
ting away from local habits and local
happenings. According to his opinion
the public is interested in important
news but is far too indifferent to the
news that is important to the well
fare of their own locality.
Newspapers should not be too
strong for established policies, ac-
cording to Glenn Frank, the last
speaker When a paper is known to
have a fixed policy, 1T is too readily
classed either for it's conservatism,
it's radicalism, or it's socialism, etc.
also that he believes the average
newspaper editor underestimates the
latter's understanding of news

was in doubt a conference was
called. while Representative Aswell
OF Louisiana, ranking Democrat on
the agriculture committee, declared
the expenses should be paid from the
Republican campaign fund.
Chairman Madden of the appro-
priations committee said the Presi-
dent had called the commission in
order to obtain the recommendations
of men familiar with the needs of
the farmer, and asserted that no one
was more desirous of aiding the
farmer than Mr.. Coolidge
One Democrat, Representative Lo-
zier of Missouri, also argued that
Congress should do nothing to him
der any move by the President to
benefit agricultural interests.
