FUMIGATION Too seldom do people fumigate their apartments, in these wintry days, when habitations are closed so many hours of the day and night. Air in living-rooms may become quickly polluted. A guest may happen in for an hour’s chat. He may have a cough, not enough to proclaim him an invalid—yet he may be what we call a “flu car rier.” He may inoculate recep tive victims in any house he visits, and do it without in the least be ing conscious of the act. One or two fumigations a week does no harm—it’s well worth the effort. Not so very long ago, sulphur candles were burned in rooms that had held contagious diseases. My opinion is, that such an agency is wholly ineffectual. I came against it once in a smallpox epidemic, and it proved utterly worthless. A fumigant must be volatile— capable of being dispersed in the air of the room; it must be effec tual against germs. Having these two properties, you have the ideal agent. I have tested out a solu tion of formaldehyde to my sat-1 isfaction. If handled carefully, it1 is safe in the hands of the family. Its pungent, irritating odor warns against excessive dose. I use a 40% solution known as “Forma lin.” Sprinkled about the linen clos ets, particularly in the clothes hamper containing soiled linen for the laundry; a little here and there about the bedding—enough to “bite” the nose and eyes a lit tle. ,Keep children away from the keen odor. Its use can be quickly learned. It will leave air pure, and will destroy bacteria. I have “isolated” cases of small-pox and scarlet fever, by having the air constantly formalized about the patient. Try it for fumiga tion; use it carefully, and depend on its effect. Founders Day Is Celebrated By Hi School P. T. A.
