ADVISES CARE IN USE
OF ANTISEPTlC ACIDS
Food and Drug Bureau Discusses
Variety Of So-Called Remedies Re-
Gently Under Investigation.

One of the things extensively In
vestigated during the last two years
by the General Food, Drug and Insecti-
eide Bureau has been the manufacture
and sale Of so-called antiseptic prepa-
rations. more than 1000 products de-
scribed by their makers as antisept1cS
have been investigated with bacterial
tests made for most Of them, says the
report.
Few manufacturers had ever tested
their antiseptics bacteriologically," the
survey revealed. "Some were under
the impression that chemisal such as
carbolic acid would be antiseptic, no
matter how weak solution was used.
Hundreds of so-called antiseptic prep
arations were found miSbranded and
bearing false claims" As a result OF
this campaign one can now buy anti
septics with much greater assurance
than was the case two years or even
two months ago. Account also has
been taken Of the purpose for which
the preparation was to be used. OBJ
viously, a mouth wash must be much
stronger than a preparation which re-
mains in contact with the body for a
greater length Of time, in order to be
properly called antiseptic. In one case
the material must instantly kill bac-
terra, in the other 1t Is sufficient II 1t
merely prevents growth.

section instead of around the center
Proponents Of this system contend that
1t does away with left turning vehicles
coming from opposite directions and
crossing each others paths, and the
Hoover conference recognized the force
Of this claim by providing for such q
modification Of the general rule Of pass
ing around or over the center Of the
street crossing.
With this method now in force
throughout Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey, traffic experts throughout the
country are watching results with close
attention, as it will provide laboratory
test in actual practice of the theory
that left turns should be made short
of the intersection center instead Of be-
yond it.
In any event, Philadelphia will con-
tinue using the Hoover left turn from
the left lane Of traffic, and traffic ex-
perts here claim that Schofield, by his
recommendation for total abolition of
left turns, has practically assured
Philadelphia's engagement of trained
and competent engineer to handle its
problems.

Work and cooperation usually ac-

the lot at Mill and Bridge streets re-
Gently completed by the Redwood
Falls Better Flower and Garden Club.
Under the direction of JOS. Tyson,
the clubs president, the lot, always
an eyesore to the public, has been
converted from mass of underbrush
and weeds to one of the beauty spots
of the city.
The ground has been planted to
flowers and grass. There are two
large Geranium beds besides beds
of Petunias, Moss Roses, Four
O'Clocks and Gladiolas.
A large Lily pond with plants in
blossom is an especially attractive
feature. The Lily pond is situated in
a rock garden in the center of the
park. Comfortable benches have
been placed throughout the spot.
The effort and work the members
of the club have put into this project
and the work accomplished is little
less than marvellous. The club de-
serves the commendation of every
