A HIDDEN
MENACE
TO HEALTH
A large variety of the most common diseases will event
ually be stamped out by improved sanitation. These are
germ diseases. The difficulty of coping with them now Is
the difficulty of realizing that such germs are about us all the
time, always ready to multiply and menace health whenever
conditions are favorable. The way to guard against these
dangers Is to use RELIABLE DISINFECTANTS frequently
and thoroughly. Cellars, sinks, drain', closets, and all dark
and damp places about the home or premises should be
rrequently disinrected, especially at this time of the year.
We have materials suitable for every purpose and if desired
can advise you what to use In any particular Instance.
