CHAPTER FORTY-EIGITT

THE ROOM was pitch black. I
sat up in sort of stupor. was
in bed. Memory returned. I made
a convulsive movement.
EASY, baby" said a familiar
voice. The bed light was snapped
on. blinked my eyes. Phil stood
above me. He looked pale and
shaken.
I said weakly: "Am dying 2"
"Dying?" He burst into helpless
laughter. "You fainted!"
"Fainted" I was indignant. Il
never faint"
"Well, you gave a darned good
imitation, honey"
I demanded wrathfully: "Just
what did happen?"
His laughter died. He said sober
Ily: I'VE got the murderer, Elsie.
He's dead"
"Dead!" 1 shivered. "Mr. Horace
dead! That little man! How?"
Cyanide. He had capsule of
the stuff in his pocket"
"Oh!" Tears filled my eyes. "The
poor SOUL"
HE was a murderer, Elsie"
II know. And he-he shot Reg
iinaldw
with blanks, baby. Reginald is
as good as new and twice as hand
some"
I drew away from him: ''Then-
then Mac wanted him to find Della
and Reginald-kissing!"
Mac arranged it," he admitted.
But don't you understand? He
had to do it that way. Horace
never would have confessed. He
had to be trapped"
A great WEAKNESS enveloped me
Poor Daphne! She knew"
Phil nodded. Eyes, she knew"
"And that was the reason she
said she'd never narry?"
THAT was the reason"
"But don't understands be-
gan, when the door opened and
Mcintyre came into the room. A
tired, disheveled Mac, with his hair
standing on end and his necktie
screwed into a ball behind his ear.
He said no word, but dropped into
q chair by the fireplace.
"And that, my children" he said
at length, "is that" His voice was
tired and strained; all the eager
ness had gone from it.
II can't believe it," I spoke my
thoughts aloud. II can't believe
that Mr.. Horace was the murder
erw
He was the murderer all right,
Elsie. It had to be him. There was
no one else."
"You suspected him from the
first? ?"
He smiled. Suspected him, yes.
But I wasn't sure until he shot
himself in the shoulder. Then ]
knew, but I had no proof"
"Shot himself in the shoulder ?'
I glanced from Mac to Phil. "What
do you mean?"
"Just that. Horace shot himself

BY LOGAN CLENDEN1NG, M. D.

1T is within my own memory
chat it began to be preached that a
public drinking glass could spread
disease, and remember the caustic
diatribe on the subject preached by
our family doctor. The idea, ne said,
that any fiibberty-gibbet with a mi
croscope could prove to MIN that
such thing as diphtheria was
spread by a nice clean drinking
glass standing on nice clean
marble stand! He had drunk out OF
such glasses thousands of times, and
look at Unexpectedly healthy.
Well, he went the way of the dodo
and the plesiosaurus, and the doe
trine Of the spread OF disease by ill.,
fected glasses, plates, knives and
forks and spoons has prevailed.
There has been, indeed, much
scientific work done on the subject
and much Improvement in methods.
With the development If the SAM
tary examination of foods, it is real
lied that all the elaborate pro-
cedure, the entire system, breaks
down if these foods are placed and

Diseases Spread
ByDrinking Glass
thorough Washing Is the Most Important Step in Its
Sanitation, Says Dr.. CIendeninq

120' f. doubt il many households
or soft drink counters come up TO
this standard.
Thorough washing is tho moss
important step in drinking glass
sanitation. Unless The glass is
thoroughly clean and free of grease
film, lipstiok, milk fat, the action of
heat or any other disinfecting pre-
paratlon is rendered Ineffective.
Yet, it is 2 familiar sight at soda
water fountains and cocktail bars
to see the attendants sloshine
glass around a few tinos in a basin
of lukewarm dirty water, drying it
with a towel Of questionable clean
illness, and using that glass to serve
the next customer.
Grim Count
Che G4iln COUNT is the standard
method Of testing The sanitation Of
the drinking glass. This means the
count Of bacteria made from SWAT
olng the rims Of drinking glasses.
Here is another hint for house
wives and glass-washe1s generally
how to hold the glass after clean
ing it. Glasses should be set rim
down on clean surface in an in
verified position. The glass should
not be handled from the rim. The
hand Of the glass-washer or food
handler should not touch the rim of
the glass at any time. Glasses that
are set down inverted are more
easily handled without touching the
rim.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

I. R.: "Is there any danger of g
stroke if there is no high blood pres
sure?"
Answer-A stroke means a para
lysis due to hemorrhage in the brain
or blocking of an artery in the
brain. While a stroke often is as
ISOLATED with high blood pressure,
it is not always so and it is just as
serious with or without.

Methods of Cleaning

Home methods of sterilizing
dishes and glasses need not be as eff
ficient as those required at soft
drink and lunch counters or in
restaurants. The heat Of the cleans
ing water used, the use of I've, or
chlorine, or among newer develop
ments, the use of specially designed
lamps, are all to be considered.
The hotter the water used, the
better the results. The longer the
utensils are in contact with hot
water, the better.
For the housewives information,
she should know that sanitarians
believe that the temperature of
wash water should not be less than

construction ranging nationally be-
tween 20 and 30 cents per cubic
foot, approximate costs for Plan A
and Plan 3 of the Orion are readily
calculated.
The Orion, being % feet wide
and nearly twice as long, is at
tractively designed for erection on
a narrow city lot or where, for rea-
sons of landscaping or convenience,
the home builder wants to make
length rather than width the pre-
dominating dimension of his dwell
ing. Further, it is planned with
four rooms for Plan A and six
rooms, including a third bedroom,
for Plan B. Under the second plan,
the Orion is three feet longer, to-
falling 38 feet.
The Orion plans provide for the
most substantial and lasting kind
of loW-cost construction in that the
roof ridge runs the long way Of the
house, bearing on center partitions
which are in turn above the center
girder under the floor joists. The
ceiling height of the rooms is a

ture which makes for economical

pointed out.
The report concludes with. the
following observations. Declines in
building costs occurred in ma
jority of key cities in the New York
Federal Home Land Bank district,
which includes New York and New
Jersey; in the Des Moines district,
embracing Iowa, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, North Dakota and South Da-

Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon

An increase was evidenced in part
of the Indianapolis district, some

others in Michigan declined
THE costs referred to in the re
port include, in addition to expendi-
lures for material and labor, an al
