ELECTRICITY FOR FARM USE
Great Variety of Devices Which Outfit

At a recent laud show, held In New

company showed, with tho co-operation

variety of devices (whlch the outfit of
motors would drive may be seen from
the following list:

A lefrlgcratlng machine, milk cool

Ventilating fans, household equip

soon pays for Itself.

ABOUT THE DISHCLOTH)

DEADLY DI8EASE GERMS.
MctSerwplosly Clean Housekeepr
Often Disregards Proper Sanitary
Care of This Important Fac
tor In the Kitchen.
During the last few years scientist!
have endeavored to awaken tho peo
ple to the vast Importance of bacteria.
Today everyone Is beginning to real
ize and to recognize the important
part which bacteria play in home
sanitation!
Dacteriu comprise a small class ol
low plants which are possessed of
wonderful powers. There are hun
dreds of different species and forma,
all of which are extremely mlnuto and
which ore never visible to tho naked
eye. The fact that they are ho uni
versally found In nature, together
with their great powers of multipli
cation, renders them of tho greatest
Importance in nature. Wo should nol
go the Idea that nil bacteria are to be
condemned, because some of them are
our friends rather than our enemies.
However, there is n class of bacteria
called pathogenic or disease-producing
bacteria, which are harmful, nnd it is
ugainst those that wo should wage
our war.
To most people the care of the dish
cloth seems very stmplo and unim
Itortant phase in our household duties,
and yot the dishcloth is a very import
ant factor In the kitchen, and may be
the cause of soriouB trouble.
We all know of a housekeeper (of
couse WE never do such a thing)
who Is really very cleanly and con
sidered a number one housekeeper,
who, aftor washing her dishes, washes
off the gas plate, the sink and probab
ly a llttlo of the woodwork with the
same cloth. She throws out tho dish
water, rinses out the pan and cloth
and hhngs it over the pan or oven In
a dark corner to dry. Then after each
meal this process is continued. I know
a woman' who Bays that she "always
makes it a rulo nevor to use her dish
cloth after It gets to be over a yard
long." Now, when we stop to con
sider the BoriousncBs of pa'thogenlc
bacteria and the diseases which they
causo, wo realize that a slimy, greasy
dishcloth would bo very likely to breed
disease. I
A noted physician relates an ox-'
perlenco which ho had in a family
where a daughter was taken 111 with
diphtheria. After her death two othor
members of tho family wero takon
with tho same dlsoaso. As thero wore
no other cases In thnt town and ap
parently no causo for It, ho began to
Investigate. Ho searched tho wholo
houso and surroundings and found
everything perfectly sanitary. Ho was
about to give up his investigation
when he caught sight of tho dish
cloth. Upon examining It ho found
it to contain millions of microbes. So
the cause of the diphtheria was at
tributed to tho dirty dishcloth which
tho mother had thoughtlessly used.
We should always wash the dish
cloth thoroughly with hot wntor and
soap after using It, rinse it and shako
It out and then hang It up in tho sun .
to dry, never nslng it for nnything
excepting dishwashing. And do not
use it until "It Is a yard long."
We must realize that "it is tho little
things which count," even in sanita
tion. WHEN STEAM IS HELPFUL
