Many people confuse germicides
and antiseptics. Chemicals which
kill bacteria are properly known IS
"gcrmicides." Such preparations IS
tincture Of iodine and carbolic acid
are gcrmicides. Certain other SUBJ
stances, while they are not able to
kill bacteria to any extent, are help
full in preventing bacterial growth.
Such chemicals are properly known
as antiseptics. The attempt to kill
germs by heat and chemicals il
known as "disinfection."
Confusion has also arisen in the
minds Of the public concerning dis
infection and fumigation. To disin.
feet is to free from contagious or
infectious matter; to fumigate Is TO
apply smoke, gas, or vapor, used
principally for the destruction Of in
sects and vermin, including rats.
The modern health officer and sani-
tartan does not approve Of the indis-
criminate use Of antiseptics or liquid
disinfectants, used in hit or miss
way. Mechanical cleaning is much
more important, but there Is much to
be said in favor Of using q good dis
infectant along with mechanical
cleansing.
Good use for disinfcctants, usually
liquid substances. is in further
cleansing the hands after q thorough
washing with soap and hot water,
and in the disinfccti0n of articles
which have come in contact with the
discharges Of the sick.
1t must not be forgotten. however.
that scrubbing and washing with
soap and water arc of much more
value than the use Of disinfectants
alone, and that the burning Of heavi-
ly infected articles when these ar
ticles are Of small value is the safest
plan known. Direct sunlight for the

As regards the time when disinfec-

two general periods, namely, during
the disease, and after the case is
terminated by recovery, death, or re-
moval to other quarters. Practically
all authorities agree that disinfect-
ants can be used with greatest effect

OF the various substances that may
be used for such purposes, emulsificd
organic compounds. and especially
the coal tar products have come into
the most general use. These coal
tar products, because Of their soapy
nature and because they possess
other qualities. are admirably fitted
for cleansing purposes.
A large number Of these products
have been put upon the market as
proprietary articles with trade names
that give but little clue to their nat
ure and efficiency. The better ones
have guaranteed efficiency as COM
pared with the efficiency Of carbolic
acid. This guaranteed efficiency is
known rs the "phenol coefficient'
and places definite legal response

avoid this liability either because
they are ignorant of its Importance
or because they are unwilling to

Burleigh County Awake 10 Value of Good
Roads

At - recent meeting the Board of County
Commissioners adopted resolution requesting the
State Highway Commission to make survey ana
prepare plans for the earth grading OF the Red
Trail or State Highway No. 3. from the kidde'
comfy line west to that part of the State Highway
now in process of improvement, or for dlstanc"
oT thirty mites This ia certainly timely step IN
the right direction, though might wish it ha':
been taken years ago.
Since 1913 up to 1924, both inclusive. Bur'eig'
county and the townships which constitute it, have
levied taxes for road purposes the amount OF which
is $50, $500 ard almost all Of which was expend
ed in the Improvement OF other roads than the
State Highway System in the county. Only the
Highway leading to the Missouri River has been
improved though about five miles east OF the City OF
Bismarck on the Red Trail is under construction
and 1875 miles from Sterling south to the county
line will be graded this year With the improve
ment OF the main traffic arteries to Bismarck on
the east and southeast under way should not
overlook the fact that Bismarck, which ought to
be trading center for many miles around. re-
coives much business from the agricultural dis
trcts tributary to State Highway No. which runs
between city and Minot. AS soon it is feas-
ibie this system should also be improved becaus2
its cost will be more than offset by the trading
which will come to our city and county.
1t has been repeatedly brought to the attention
OF the puhc that the State Highway Commission
has Before it more requests for highway i'm
provement Chan it has federal aid available for
that purpose in 1926 and that perhaps some of the
work may have to be postponed until the follow
ing year. We hope that this may not be the case with
the last request Of the county board. Therefore,
we venture to suggest that steps be taken shortly
to request the State Highway Commission to in
cude the Improvement of the Anot road SO as to
insure the early construction thereof when federal
aid not already apportioned to any county shall be
available Let be guided by the proverb that
the early bird gets the worm and get our county in
position to receive early consideration by the State
Highway Commission. which doubtless will follow
the fair principle that first come will be first
served.
We desire nevertheless to congratulate the cOul-
~ty commissioners their action and their willing
ness TO put Burleigh County in the good roads
column Of the State.
1t is to be regretted that the county board de-
parted from it's original plan to grade and grave!
the Penitentary Road Of about two and a half miles
for paving which will cost if DONE some 81 %, 900 90
or equal to the cost Of grading ard graveling over
70 miles Of road. The matter is now in the courts
but It would be splendid thing for the contractor
