STERILIZER
OncbX.
the
earliest
generally
osrnl'
llfchifcctanU
was
chlorine.
Aboiit'thc
jj-ear
1800,
de
Morvcau,
in
France,
and
Cruikshank
in
England,
discovered
its
value.
Since
that
time,
chlorine
in
varjous
forms,
as
gas,
chloride
of
lime,
or
hypochlorite,,
has
figured
very
prominently
as
a
disinfectant.
The
first
practical
use
of
a
chlorine
gas
for
the
sterilization
of
drinking
water,
was
made
in
11)12
at
Niagara
Falls.
Here
it
replaced
chloride
of
lime
used
for
chlorination
of
water
from
the
f:iagarn
liivcr.
With
the
invention
of
the
visible
vacuum
chlorinator,
chlorin-aton
practice
has
become
perfected
to
a
remarkable
degree.
Early
chlorination
equipment
consisted
of
a
piece
of
wood,
a
little
glass
(ubing,
diaphranis
and
pressure
guagc.
lly
comparison,
today's
highly-developed
ciiuipnicnt
seems
quite
complicated.
'
Essentially,
however,
the
underlying
principal
of
the
visible
chlorinator
is
a
simple
one.
It
is
to
dis!Ivc
chlorine
gas
in
a
min-ji
flow
of
water
and
feed
the
resultant
chlorine
solution
to
the
desired
point
of
application.
This
riethod
ensures
complete
absorption
and
rapid
diffusion
of
chlorine
when
it
is
applied
to
the
ma-,
jor
flow
of
water.
Source
of
the
chlorine
gas
is
steel
cylinders.
As
the
gas
is
used,
the
pressure
in
the
cylinder
decreases,
as
well
H3
the
velocity
of
flow
if
no
control
is
applied.
The
visible

makes
it'
possible
to
secure
a

varying
pressures,
thus
doing
away
with
waste
of
over-chlorin-ation,
and
the
public
health
hazard
of
under-chlorination.
The
present
day
dosage
is
usually
less
than
one
drop
of
chlorine
to
one
million
drops
of
water.
In
other
words,
enough
water
can
be
sterilized
by
adding
the
amount
of
chlorine
contained
in
a
single
handful
of
salt
to
fill
350,-000
glasses
of
.water.
This
minute
iiuantity
of
chlorine
is
sufficient
tu
kill
harmful
disease
bacteria
without
any
other
effect
on
the
water.
Today,
over
85
per
cent
of
domestic
drinking
water
supply
of
North
America
is
chlorinated.
As
a
result,
the
lt00
typhoid
fever,
death
rate
of
30
lives
per
100,000
population,
has
steadily
dropped
until
Unlay
it
has
been
reduced
to
l
s
anil
two
lives
per
100,000.
In
a
lawsuit
which
arose
over
the
method
of
treatment,
chlorination
is
immediately
sustained
in
the
courts
:u
a
measure
for
safe'
guarding
public,
health.
After
exhaustive
expert
testi-nony
had
been
presented
and
examined,
the
court's
decision
was
that
it
(chlorination)
is
an
effective
process
which
destroys
in
the
water
the
pathogenic
germs,
so
that
the
water
after
this
treatment,
attains
a
purity
much
beyond
that
attained
in
water
supplies
of
other
municipalities
and
that
the
process
described
leaves
no
deleterious
substances
in
the
water.
Routine

of
Prince

were
taken
by
the
Health
Unit
between
September
15
and
October

UiiCterial

CONTROLLING
Some
Points
in
Dealing
with
l'rts
Insect
or
pest
control
is
a
problem
that
confronts
the
management
of
all
hospitals
and
institutions.
It
is
true
that
"control"
is.
about
all
we
can
expect
because
even
though
wc
were
able
to
kill
all
insects
in
the
buildings
today,
tcniorrow
would
bring
further
in-
testations
as
roaches
come
in
with
foodstuffs
and
stores;
bedbugs
are
usually
personally
imported;
flies
get
through
open
doors
and
unscreened
windows;
and
moths
just
seem
to
recur.
And
so
it
goes'
Oil.
Insects
are
indeed
the
major
problem
for
hospitals
and
institutions.
They
damage
stores,
foods
and
materials
to
the
value
of
many
millions
of
dollars
each
year.
Of
the
many
insects
.with
"which
wc
have
to
contend,
the
following
two
arc
perhaps
the
most
bothersome
roaches
and
ledbugs,
ItoarhcN
The
roach
is
one
of
the
most
objectionable
of
all
insects,
and
can
be
accurately
described
as
a
f.cavenger,
spoiler
of
food,
and
a
likely
carrier
of
pathogenic
bacteria.
Roaches
destroy
more
food
by
contamination
than
by
actual
consumption,
as
they
give
off
an
offensive
liquid,
from
their
bodies
which
,on
contact
with
food,
makes
it
unfit
for
use.
lioaches
arc
found
wherever
there
is
food
and
warmih.
They
spend
the
daylight
hours
In'
secluded
or
darkened
places
such
as
cracks,
crevices,
and
behind
water
pipes,
coming
out
after
dark
to
feed.
The
roach
is
credited
with
hav
ing
an
exceptionally
keen
sense
of
smell
and,
we
arc
told,
can
even
smell
a
cream
pic
a
hundred
yards
away
.So
you
will
see
that
your
foodstuffs
and
stores
arc
never
sr.fc
if
roaches
arc
in
the
neighborhood.
lioach
control
is
all
too
often
a
l;ngering
process
,not
on
account
of
the
inefficiency
of
the
inscctl-tidc,
lhat
is
used
,but
invariably
Lecause
of
incorrect
application.
Liquid
insecticides
are
perhaps
the
most
suitable
and
popular
means
of
roach
control,
as
most
of
them
arc
non-poisonous
and
invariably
give
spectacular
results.
However,
it
is
necessary
that
the
application
be
made
properly.
The
best
medium,
is,
of
course,
an
electric
sprayer.
This
allows
the
insecticides
to
be
forcibly
driven
in
various
degress
of
atomization
into
the
known
or
suspected
hideouts.
However,
good
hand-sprayers
will
also
provide
satisfactory
usults.
Hut
remember
that
the
premises
to
be
sprayed
should
first
cf
all
be
surveyed
in
order
to
plan
the
most
efficient
method
of
at-tcck.
Most
insecticide
sprays
contain
ir.gredients
which
activate
the
roaches
and
drive
them
out
of
their
hiding'
places
so
make
sure
that
the
sprayer
is
full
before
each
room
is
sprayed.
Most
insecticide
powders
contain
sodium
fluoride,
which,
ax
you
know,
is
deadly
poisonous.
No
doubt
you
have
heard
of
the
many
deaths
that
have
been
caused
accidentally
through
the
incorrect
use
of
