DISINFECTION INSTRUCTIONS.
('Partially Based on Those of the New
York Board of Health.)
San Antonio Tex. June 14 1898.
Disinfection is the destruction of the
poisons of infectious and contagious
diseases.
Deodorizors. or substances which de-
stroy odors are not necessarily disin-
fectants and disinfectants do not nec-
essarily have an odor. Disinfectants
to be employed for rooms furniture
clothings dressings etc.
(Fumigation.) A —With sulphur.
Heavy clothing blankets bedding to
be so treated should be freely exposed
and the room air-tightly closed. The
sulphur is poured upon iron pans sup-
ported on bricks placed in a water tub
containing a little water. The sul-
phur is then ignited by hot coals or by
the aid of a spoonful’of alcohol. The
room should remain closed for 24 hours
For a room ten feet square at least two
pounds of sulphur should be used.
Larger rooms in proportion.
B—With formaldehyde gas. Sulphur
having not fully satisfied investigation
as to its power of destroying germs
lately formaldehyde or formaline gas
has been considered the ideal disinfect-
ant for rooms and all kinds of furniture
and fabrics. It does not destroy the
color or the texture and has rhe great
advantage of permeating textile fabrics
to a considerable depth. A special
lamp is required for its generation
which according to make and size
ranges in price from >2.00 to 850.00 and
over and requires from 30 to 50 cents
worth of chemicals for each time it is
used. The lamp must be charged and
lighted after the room has been air-
tightly closed and all materials to be
exposed to it from three to five hours.
The health office will give the names of
some of the manufacturers upon re-
quest. This kind of disinfection is the
most satisfactory and recommendable
according to the present condition of
our knowledge. The Texas Disinfect-
ing Co and all undertakers are provided
with such lamps.
2.—For cellars yards stables gutters
privies cess-pools waterclosets drains
sewers etc. a liberal treatment of cop-
peras solution frequently applied is re-
commended. It is easily prepared by
hanging a basket containing about 60
pounds of copperas’ in a barrel of water.
A mixture of four pounds of copperas
and three ounces of carbolic acid to a
gallon of water to be used for the same
purpose.
A still stronger disinfectant is corros-
Ive sublimate two drachms to a gallon
of water.
Twenty parts of quicklime mixed with
two parts of fresh dry charcoal sprink-
led in cellars cess-pools etc. absorbs
putrid gases.
3.—Cotton linen flannels blankets
etc. if ndt treated by formaldehyde
gaswhich however is the best should
be boiled in a zinc solution for at least
half an hour. For this purpose take
of sulphate of zinc or chloride of zinc
(the former is the cheapest and the lat-
ter the more efficient) in the proportton
of 1 to 8 and 1 to 16 of water.
Carbolic acid six ounces to a gallon
of water may be used for the same
purpose.
THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Per B. E. HADRA.

SAYINGS OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.
People who are not associated with
children in their homes or in the school
room lose much that is bright and Joy-
ous in this life. “They are” says one
“an unexplored countrywhose resourc-
es are a constant surprise and Joy.”
Here are some of the sayings of the
little ones in the school room and in
the homes of Memphis collected by the
Commercial-Appeal.
Speaking of the struggle in Cuba a
pupil in the public schools said: “Ten
years a go Cuba tried to get free and
thirty years a go the south tried 'to
get free. Now she can try it again
and if Gen. Gordon was 'the president
he would Jet her get free too.”
Here are some sentences written by
one pupil in one room of the schools:
"The man’s coat was brtef.”
"The lady put on a brief sententious
style.”
"He made many indigenous re-
marks.”
"The doctor gave the baby epitaph.”
"The girl coincided to go home.
"God is a superfluous being.”
"The man’s porous was open.”
"The moist was dry.”
"Nannie sister don’t love God” ex-
claimed a wee miss to an older sister.
"Why sister don’t you love God?”
said the older sister.
“No Nannie I don’t but I try my
best to get up an affection for him.”
"Whj' don’t you ask him to nelp you
to love him?”
"Oh Nannie I don’t want him to find
It out.”
"Sam is there any writing in the
■book?” questioned the teacher.
“No ma’m. there is no writing there
except the Dago writing.” he said as
he pointed to the italics.
"What would you do if the teacher
should whip you some day at school?”
said a fond father to a young son who
was in one of the primary grades.
“Me ’ud crawl de cool house
and pull out a sleeper and de cool
house would fall down and kill her.
“Why my son then you would be
arrested and put in jalt and maybe
hanged for murder.”
“No me wouldn’t papa me no kill
her. I pull de sleeper out and ’e house
fall down and kill her.
Here are some questions and answers
in a recent examination:
“What causes day and night and
the change of seasons?”
"The sun causes day moon causes
night and the weather causes change
of seasons."
"How is a river formed?”
“A river is formed long and narrow.’
"A volcano throws out sand and
smoke and hot bricks.”
"What key in music has no signa-
ture?”
“ Door key.”
“What does D. C. mean in musie?"
“District of Columbia.”
“What is a note?”
“Short communication.”
In a physiology examination were
tihese answers:
“It is not safe to take the first glass
because it leads you a-nd the man with
you to alcoholic drinks.”
"By the law of heredity we under-
stand that it teaches us to use our
muscles and that alcohol deadens the
nerves. Opium and alcohol have sim-
ilar results. This is called God’s law.’
"There are four sources of heat in
the body—respiration inspiration per-
spiration and expiration."
"Rescue the parachute rescue the
paraeshute” sang two little puipls of
one of the large Sunday schools of the
city.
The mother heard them and called
to them to know where they had learn-
ed »uch a Bong.
"We learned it in Sunday school”
they answered innocently. The moth-
er. protested that there was a oAstake.
"Well then mamma it was a pair
of sheets.”
A little boy out with his first air
gun killed a sparrow for his teacher to
paint. He hung it up by the feet in
a tree and it hung there for weeks
before he took it to her. and when he
did it was a most dilapidated looking
affair and he explained: “I don’t
want you ito paint it this way but as
he was when I killed him. He was
sitting on a plow handle and all his
feathers pointed to his tall.”
Papa was reading the story of David
and Goliath who was “six cubits and
one span.” “What does that mean?”
he questioned one of the little girls?
After a moment's serious reflection she
said: “I dess it means six Cubans and
one Spaniard.”

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYBUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Sybup
Co. only and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Sybup Co.
only a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par-
ties. The high standing of the Cali-
fobnia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi-
cal profession and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is’
far in advance of all other laxatives!
as it acts on the kidneys liver and''
bowels without irritating or weaken-
ing them and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects please remember the name of
the Company —
