Show tab NATURES GREAT disinfectant lot let the sunlight reach every corner of t the he house and destroy the germs r J natures great disinfectant Is olin eun light it Is a most interesting tact fact that this wonderful light which promotes the groath grow th of useful plants ind and sustains animal life at the same time destroys by its very brightness all sorts of germs which are brought in contact with it it Is this fact alone which renders the earth inhabitable germs develop with such marvelous rapidity that they would quickly overwhelm I 1 whelm us by their very numbers it not constantly destroyed by the sun eun A little computation will readily show this some germs are capable of such rapid multiplication that they m may BY double every fifteen minutes un under der favorable conditions of tem temperature u r e and food supply estl estimate pate the number of germs which might be produced in a single day of twenty four hours or ninety six doublings doub lings the number would be more than iban thirty two thousand billion billic billions us or sufficient to cover eighty th thousand 0 usand square miles a foot deep or B ml 11 a space apace of more than fifteen cubic miles tho the increase of a minute organism occupying a cubic space of not more than ono one twenty laousan thousandth lb ot an inch to such prodigious mag magnitude ni Is beyond comprehension and practically cannot occur tor for while the germ may grow at this immense rapidity for a chork chort time the poisons which it produces become destructive to itself the material upon which it toads foods Is also exhausted so that its growth ceases doubtless all have noticed the tact fact that mold grows during the night and la in dark damp cellars bright sunlight quickly destroys germs mold and other parasitic organisms diffused daylight does docs not act nearly so rapidly but accomplishes in the iha course of u a few hours what bright sunlight Is capable of doing in a few minutes it Is cleatzy evident then that in order that our houses bouses should be kept tree free from rom germs they like our bodies should be made full of life the shutters should be opened the curtains raised and the light a admitted to every room in fit the tha house closets included so that the dis infecting rower of light may be exercised 1 in every nook and coiner of the dwell ing ine occupation and
