DISTINCTION NEED NOT
 SMELL

DIsINFECTIoN NEED NOT SMELL
 Before science had revealed the bacterial or parasitic character of infectious or epidemic diseases out- breaks of such diseases were vague. iy attributed to noxious miasms emanating from swamps, decaying animal or vegetable matters, freshly turned soil and the like. In order to prevent such disease, therefore, fumigation of the premises came into use, and some such rite, called terminal disinfection, has been compulsory under the sanitary law in most places, after scarlet fever, diphtheria and some other com- municable diseases. The horrendous stench attending terminal disinfec- ton impressed upon the credulous iayman and his equally credulous doctor the belief that the disinfect- ant was very "powerfuW. That bee lief gave considerable reinsurance that the danger of further spread of the disease was over. The truth h, as we now know, that terminal disinfection or fumigation of the premises or the room, bedding clothing or personal articles of the patient gave no protection ct oil against further spread of the diS- ease, since that depends on whether the patient was properly isolated during the acute or feverish stage of the illness-isoiated, that Is, from animal and insect "contacts" as well as peopie-and on whether the patient becomes c "carrier" and SO continues to give of the germs Of the disease after convalegcence.
 Recognizing this truth, oil intel- ligent communities today have dis- carded terminal disinfection or fumigation. It must seem clear that there is something wrong with the government of any community that still requires fumigation fol. lowing such illnesses. It is Q shame. fui waste Of time and money which no competent health autority can countenance. FumigAtion Is an ef- fective way to eradicate vermin--. provided due precautions are taken to prevent accidental poisoning Of human beings by breathing the iethai gas in the ship hold oT tho room fumigated.
 Plain, not modicated. soap and water scrubbing is the best dlstins fection for the hands. Ordinary laundering with soap and water b adequate disinfection for bed-cloth- ing and personal clothing that has been used by one with communic- able disease. Ironing practically steriiizes clothes.

 For disinfecting sputum or other nose and throat discharges burning is best, where paper napkins or handkerchief are used.

Those plans won't be nearly as ex-
tensive as the California Cannon
baller's 1887 schedule Now that the
Davis Cup Is resting on this side Of the
Atlantic. the American defenders will
be able to sit back in comparative ease
while the other nations knock each
other out on the rocky road to the

Australia Is Favored.
ITS A program, incidentally. that,
because Of its brevity, may in
duce Pate to handle the American

together from the first Of May until
well into the summer. The 1888 cup
team won't assemble until after the
close Of the national doubles at Brook

Pate sees little chance Of any new
threats developing abroad. Likeliest
candidates for European zone repre-
sentative in the interzone final. he
believes, are Germany, carried that far
