EPIDEMIC DISEASE.

" NIP IT IN THE BUD." • " It's catching"—this is what people say when a malady.spreads among them as lire spreads in dry grass; the phrase states a fact without explanation, which is a pity, because if oncc you understand why "it's catching,".you can prevent it catching instead of having to cure it—cure is often impossible, and is expensive. Now you can understand the flame running . through grass, but you can only see the spread of disease by its results, because disease is spread by living germs or seeds, too small to see, and so light that air can carry and distribute them j the only way,, to prevent Disease Germs "catching" is to kill them. To kill an invisible foe may seem difficult; but in this case it is easy and cheap, for you can kill Disease Germs by meeting them at every point with something in hourly use and immediately fatal to tlierri. Science has given us this i-'l Lifebuoy Royal Disinfectant Soap, and its germ-killing -jower in hospitals and sanitation has stamped l't as a world-tested Life Saver.

But it is the protection of health in 'your own home that is your particular care, and it is there that Lifebuoy Soap will block the Disease Germ or " nip it in the bud " before it docs harm. When you have used Lifebuoy Soap in bath and bedroom, employed it in house cleaning and flushing sinks and drains, • its disinfecting power will have rendered Germlife almost impossible ; almost, but not quite; to do the work more thoroughly, you »ust use Lifebupy.Soap in the laundry. .'Lifebuoy Soap in the. laundry catches the germ in the right place to "nip it in the bud," namely, in your clothes and house linen. All week the clothes have gathered the inevitable germs from' the . air, the street, the v office and the train, the laundry provides the place, for their wholesale execution, and Lifebuoy Soap carries it out relentlessly, Lifebuoy Soap will pile your wash-basket with fragrant, snowy linen, absolutely germfree and practically germ-proof. Use Life- . buoy Soap in..the laundry, and the Disease Germs, instead of catching will be caught— f nipced in the bud " before they do harm.

Arrangements in connection with the afternoon and evening entertainment which is to bo given next Friday in St. John's' Schoolroom for the benefit of Chaplain-Captain Mac Donald's Hospital Fund are progressing very satisfactorily. ' Many promises of cakes, sweets, flowers, home pioduce, etc., for the stalls have been received bv the com'mittee, and a capital entertainment programme for the evening is being arranged. This fund, it .will be remembered, is for the purpose of providing any . little comforts, desires, or luxuries which the sick and, wounded men in hospital so often express a wish for: The money is to bo, sent to CaptainChaplain Angus Mac Donald, whose work among the wounded and sick men inthe hospitals of Egypt needs no comment.

"Take care of your gloves" is a warning that is being given by those in tho trade, because a great shortage in tho supplies may be looked for in the near future. It is reported that at Grenoble, tho chief centre of the French glove industry, the lino kid skins which are tho basis of l the host gloves are very hard to obtain, while there is a scarcity of labour. It is not difficult to account for tho want of the skins. Shipping space is wanted for more important , cargoes, and there is a huge and growing demand for the less, heavy skins for the linings of military tunics and overcoats. Fabric gloves ■are also growing much dearer. The Japanese manufacturers are trying to supply tho cheaper kinds ; of which millions of dozens were imported annually from Germany. American manufacturers are busy capturing the market in tho best grade of laliric gloves, but there is still a shortage. ■
