HOT SOAPSUDS VALUABLE
IN KILLING DISEASE GERMS
Chicago—Common ordinary soapsuds, particularly hot ones, are extremely good agents for killing germs, Dr. John E. Walker of Opelika, Ala., has just reported to the American Medical Association here. The germs of pneumonia, meningitis, diphtheria, syphilis, gonorrhea, influenza, and the streptococcus germ were all killed in about two minutes by comparatively weak solutions of soap in cool water, Dr. Walker found from his own and other investigations.
"When properly used for cleaning the hands or for washing eating utensils, soaps are undoubtedly potent factors in preventing the spread of diseases due to these organisms," Dr. Walker concluded.
Charles M. Baker is director of libraries. The regular staff is composed of 22 persons, and in addition, over 40 students are given work as assistants. On the regular staff are 12 departmental heads.
