MONDAY, 8.30 A.M! Some Reflectloru on ■ BaUlig Cafper. " The boiling "—this is the com. man phrase of early Monday, the housewife , ! call to die weekly task. Let n> follow it with t question that is not so simple as it sounds : "What is it boiling for ?" Most people would answer, "Why, to boil the dirt out of the dotiies, of course." Quite so, but for health's take something more than din has to be done away with in the household washing, namely, the seeds of infectious disease. Infection may be communicated to a whole city (and beyond it) from one single patient, of which the smallpox epidemic is a case in point It is due to tiny organisms, hardly visible through a microscope bat intensely alive, thrown off in the course of the disease. These float in the air or dust and drift to clothes and house linen as naturally as steel draws to a magnet; we call them " Germs," Of seeds ot disease, because just as an ordinary seed growi to a plant, so a disease germ on a human body breeds disease; the only protection against germs is to destroy them. The question is: Will boiling water and common soap do it ? Not always; some disease germs may thrive, or even breed, in both. So we must use a cleanser that will not only dean clothes and house linen thoroughly, but also kill all disease genus that have lodged in diem. Fottanately for ds, manufacture and science have combined to meet this want with Lifebuoy Soap. By using Lifebuoy Soap in the laundry the genni of infectious diseases are caught and killed wholesale, because Lifebuoy Soap is both a perfect laundry cleanser and a strong disinfectant as well, and when the household clothing and linen are washed with it, disease germs find destruction instead of a refagc Oar crowded popnlation doubles the risk of infection, lifebuoy Soap reduces it; but. Lifebuoy Soap must be so uted v to cove both cleansing and disinfection; Lifebuoy Soap for the bttb, Lifebuoy Soap for floors and walls, Lifebuoy Soap for kitchen and scullery, and when the copper boils on Monday morning, then let it be especially and always Lifebuoy Soap for the dajr'c washing.
