MONDAY, 8.30 A.M. Some Reflections on a Boiling Copper. "The copper's boiling "-this js the cornmon phrase of early Monday, the housewife s ™U to the weekly task. Let us follow it with ( question that is not so simple as it sounds i ■' What is it boiling for ?" Most people would ■ nswer "Why, to boil the dirt out of the "Ses Quite so, but for health s something more than dirt has to be done iwav with in the household washing, namely, he se'ds of infectious disease.

These float in the air or dust and drift to clothes and house linen as naturally as steel draws to 1 magnet; we call them "Germs,' or seeds of disease, because just as an ordinary seed grows 10 a plant, so a disease germ on a human body breeds disease; the only protection against germs is to destroy them.
