Good Water For Farm Homes.

Clear, sparkling water is not always , pure water. A refreshing draught from “the old oaken bucket” may be the beginning of a long and possibly fatal illness from typhoid fever, dysentery, cholera or other disease. * The subject of pure water supplies for drinking and cooking purposes is discussed in a bulletin just issued by the United States Public Health Service under the title “Good water for Farm Homes.” The germs of the so-called waterbom diseases come from the' bodies of persons afflicted with those diseases. They do not live long outside the body and do not originate spontaneously in nature. A few diseases are communicated from animals to man, br. for the most part the germs which get into drinking water and produce disease come only from human hemgs. If we keep the waste products from the bodies of human beings and animals away from our water supplies, we keep the water free from disease germs. The usual sources of farm water supplies are wells, springs and cisterns. Running streams are so seldom free from dangerous pollution that without purification they cannot often be considered safe <for domestic . use. The most common form of supply Is the shallow well, reaching into a layer of earth saturated with water. Few of these are fed by flowing streams, except in limestone formations, and they are really little more than reservoirs for “surface water. Since they drain the surface for a radius of sometimes several hundred feet, their location with reference to stables, out-houses and stock pens is a matter of prime importance. Artesian wells, driven wells, cisterns # and natural springs are also discussed in this publication, and safeguards agaist pollution prescribed It is sometimes impossible to secure pure water for drinking and cooking, and methods of purification must be adopted. It should be borne in mind also that once a safe supply is obtained, its purity is insured only by the continued observance of the prieiples of common sense and common cleanliness. These are neither difficult nor expensive.

U. S. FACES ACTION TO SAVE OLD MEXICO

Wilson May Decide to Back New Leader—Carranza and Villa Both Are Defiant. The next few days may force President Wilson to show his plans for recognizing a “man or group of men” to run Mexico. The past two weeks has failed to result in any indication of settlementof the internal troubles of that devastated country. Carranza and Villa are defiant, the Indians have been on the warpath, fighting continues near the capital, America owned properties have been destroyed and thousands of people are being saved from starvation by American charity exercised through the Red Cross Society. Senor Iturbide bids far recognition and is said to have gained the confidence of the administration. If he is to be backed by the U. S. the only hope of success would be the use of American soldiers. One scheme to back Iturbide is to place an embargo on arms and ammunition to Carranza, Villa, Zapata and other leaders and to supply Iturbide and his armies with all they want. It is believed he could secure financial backing. This plan will not work for any permanent good and would not commend itself to very many.

Baker Austin will speak for not more than five seconds as the train whisks thru said birth-place—-they know him.” Mr. Austin is a past president of the club and onr of the leading spirits in its social activities and was deeply interested in the success of the picnic.

Sternberg Bros. Have Big Dredging Job in Missouri.

Edward and Louis Sternberg, of Chicago, were here Thursday and visited the lower Iroquois dredging job, which is now within 4% miles of completion. They estimate that about ten months wi* be required to complete the job. The Sternberg brothers recently took a big dredging job in southeastern Missouri. The work had been bid in by McWilliams, the contractor for the Marble-Powers ditch, and he sublet it to the Sternbergs. The job consists of some 2,000,000 yards and the price is 6 cents per yard or about $120,000. Ed Sternberg states that a 3-yard dredge will be used to dig the -flitch and that it has already been ordered. He spoke of the rapid work being done on the Kankakee with the 3-yard dipper and said that the lower Iroquois job would have been completed had a dipper of that size been installed.

Two Carnivals at Once Too Much For One Town.

Pulaski County Democrat: Kewanna had a double dose of carnivals week before last, two traveling outfits holding forth at the same tune. And here is the eloquent manner in which the Kewanna Herald closes the story of their departure: “At the close it was a scramble to collect bills—a procession made up of the clerk and marshal to collect the licenses, followed by the drayman, printer, lot owners, electnc light man, eteetra, etalso, etlikewise, adlibitum, adheltopayum, adinfinitum. Anyhow, it's all over now, and as the smoke of the battle clears away we can see the son of a new day dawning on a bunch of dirty streets, empty purses, broken promises and dissatisfied people.” “Yea, verily! TTwas ever thus.
