A Sanitary "Wasli-House.

Albert Shaw has a most suggestiva ?paper in the Century entitled "Glasgow a Municipal Study," from which we quote "Not the least important feature of the health department's work in Glasgow is the Sanitary Wash- «, house. A similar establishment should be apart of the municipal economy of every large towu. In 1864 the authorities found it necessary to superintend the disinfection of dwellings, and a small temporary wash-house was opened, with a few tubs for the cleansing of apparel, etc., removed from infected houses. For a time after the acquisition of Belvidere a part of the laundry of the hospital was used for the purpose of a general sanitary washhouse. But larger quarters being needed, a separate establishment was built and opened in 1883, its cost being about $50,000. This place is so admirable in its system ana its mechanical appointments that I am again tempted to digress with a technical description.

The place is in constant communication with sanitary headqnarters and its collecting wagons are on the road early every morning. The larger pari of the articles removed for disinfection and cleansing must be returned on the" same day, to meet the necessities ol poor families. I visted the house on a day when 1,S00 pieces, from 2o different families, had come in. In 1S87. 6,700 washings, aggregating 8S0,00G pieces, were done. The quantity, coarse, varies from year to year with the amount of infectious disease in the city. The establishment has a erema tory, to which all household article: whatsoever that are to be burned alter a case of infectious disease must be brought by the vans of the sanitary de partment. The carpet-cleaning ma chinery and the arrangements for disinfection by steam, by chemicals, and by boiling I cannot here describe. "The department's disinfecting and Whitewashing staff is operated from the Wash-house as headquarters. A patien4 being removed to the hospital, the Authorities at once take possession of the

house

for cleansing and disinfection.

It is a point of interest also that tlx city has provided a comfortable 'house

three permanent servants, where

families may be entertained for a day or more as the city's guests if it is desirable to remove them from their homes during the progress of the disinfecting and clothes-washing operations. The house is kept in constant use, and it is found a very convenient thing for the department to have at its disposal. "As net results of the sanitary work of the Glasgow authorities may be mentioned the almost extinction of some of the worst forms of contagious disease, and a mastery of the situation which leaves comparatively little feat of widespread epidemics in the future, in spite of the fact that Glasgow is a great seaport, has an unfavorable climate, and has an extraordinary dense and badly housed working population. The steady decline of the total •death-rate, and its remarkable rapid decline as regards those diseases at which sanitary science more especially aims its weapons, are achievements which area proper source of gratilication to the town council and the officers of the health department."

Judge B. Iv. nigginbotliam, of Frankfort, one of the best known attorneys and orators in Indiana, died on the 19th at the Kecly Institute,Plainfield, whither he had gone for treatment for his besetting sin» strong drink. The career of Balser Higginbotham was mingled with sunshine and shadow. A giant, in intellect and a born orator, his abilities attracted the plaudits of the people beyond the confines of his own State. So charming were his powers of oratory, so convincing his logic* that in the Garfield campaign he was called to New York and in company with Roscoo Conkling stumped the Empiro State. As an acknowledgement of his great service Garfield promised him an appointment as minister to some foreign country, and it was whilo waiting in Washington for this that he gave way to his besettins sin, strong drink. The President was accordingly forced to withhold the appointment. Returning from Washington, he remained but a short time and then moved to Cedar Lake, Itid., where, he lived a quiet life until he returned to Frankfort, a year ago. and entered practice again. Ilis great weakness was the love of drink, yet his efforts were continuously to free himself from its terrible grip.

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.

Shall we Drive Slow Poison From our Breakfast Table.

Alnm and Ammonia In oar Bread.

A nusiance that has troubled England fifty years ajro is now rapidly spreading in this country, that is putting Alum in the bread we eat. This question is causing a great deal of discussion at the present moment cs it is revealed that alum is being used as a substitute for cream of tartar in baking powders. A story is told that a very large percentage of the baking powders sold on the market contain either alum or ammonia, and many of them contain both these pernicious drugs. Much timely alarm is felt at the wholesale use of alum in bread, biscuit and pastry. To young children, growing girls, persons of weakly frame, alum bread eaten morning, noon and evening is the most harmful, it is the small quantities taken at every meal that do the mischief. Alum is cheap, costing but two or three cents a pound while cream of tartar costs 30c, and the high price of cream of tartar has led cheap powder to be made of alum. If the reader wants to know something of the corrosive qualities of alum let him touch a piece to his tongue then reflect how it acts on the tender delicate coats of the stomach.

Following is a list compiled by tho Scientific American, of the alum and ammonia baking powders that have already been tested. ATLANTIC",* PACIFIC. cooics's FAVORITE.
