Dr. W. D. Weis, secretary of the
Hammond board of health, last even
ing before the Wednesday Night club, in a lecture on health problems, proposed a solution to the problem of
Hammond's contaminated drinking wat
er, which if acted up and found feasible, will produce the millenium for this city in, the drinking water line. The plan that Dr. Weis proposed provides for the purification of the drinking water by a chemical process which the water undergoes before it is sent out into the water mains. The only expense that would be incurred with such a process would be the cost of the plant and the cost of the chemical, which can be bought .by the ten, for about $8. Dt. Weis delivered most of his lecture in the dark, the electric stereopticon light having failed to work and Incidentally cut the library off the electric light circuit. But despite these handicaps the speaker enjoyed the clos
est attention and so highly was the
lecture appreciated that the board of
directors has asked Dr. Weis to give another lecture on the same subject
at a future date. Dr. Wl an Authority.
Dr. Wels was listened to as a man who epeaks from authority and a man who has studied the health problem in
this region closer than any other man. It was through Dr. Wels' efforts and ability to arouse enthusiasm among the vario"us cities in this region that the exhaustive and authoritative on the Lake Michigan water supply report from the board of health was brought

He rendered a pleasing musical selec

Basketball practice was held last night. The squad is working hard for the game next Friday night with the Baptists Athletic League. The team
realises that it will be a hard and deciding struggle, but they feel 'confi
dent ot victory. The last contest be
vantage than he did. As it was, he quoted freely from it, and because of having studied the situation closely he was enabled to make the suggestions
and give the discussion that he did.
Dr. Wels spoke on the theory that
the natural water supply is decreasing and naturally deteriorating in qual
ity. He pointed to the fact that this
whole region even within the memory
of the first settlers was one whole
swamp, that the wells dug by the ear
ly settlers went dry and that at a later day the driven wells and the ratesian wells, which for a time supplied Ham
mond, went dry.
Supply Spoiled Forever. These facts he cited to prove that
the water supply is decreasing. He said that in the past years enough sewage had been poured into Lake Michi
gan from the municipalities, beginning
at the north shore to Michigan City,
i both by the cities and the factories to keep the water contaminated for many
years to come, even if all the flow of
the sewage into the lake were stopped
now and at once. Speaking of the feasibility of extending the water
mains, the speaker pointed to the Brewster report, which shows the water two miles in the lake to be 30 per
cent more contaminated by the Calumet river, and the government dumpings than where the intake Is now. He cited cities, among them Valparaiso, where the plan that he proposes is already in use and solving the problem. He pointed to the glucose plant, which purifies all of its water which it uses. This water incidentally comes from Wolf lake and needs purification before it can be usd for the purpose which the glucose Reeds it. He ' said that the glucose uses on the average of 2,000,000 gallons a day, and purifies It chemically at an expense of $8 a day. With Hammond using about 6,000,000 gallons daily, the city's expense for purification could be kept within $25. The chemical, aluminum sulphite, lime or iron sulphite, or whatever It may be, it depending on the kind of water, can be bought at $18 a ton and since it takes a grain and a half to a gallon of water it can be readily seen that
a ton would go a long way. Further than this Dr. Wels does not think it necessary to purify all of the water pumped into the city as for instance
that used in the factories, stables, bath
tubs, etc. He would suggest a new line
of water mains only one-third as large
as the present to supply the domestic use. nellevea Drnlnae Canal a Failure. Dr. Weis quoted Colonel Bixby of the
war department, who recently upon his
retiring said that the $50,000,000 drain
age canal was a failure. He does not
believe that the connection of the Calumet river with the Sag would not remedy the defect since the Lake Michigan water supply is spoiled for years to come.
Incidentally the speaker threw a new light on the Glucose situation in as much as it helps to contaminate the drinking water. The water that the Glucose uses is absolutely pure, Dr. Weis argued, as are also the grains
that they use, consequently the refuse must be pure, but, he continued, the city of Hammond dumps a sewage into the lake, which naturally gives the Glucose refuse a breeding place for the
development of the bacteria.
Dr. Weis has promised to give an
other lecture along the same line, and
it will undoubtedly be just as inter esting as the one last evening.

KfHults Count. When a young man is hired by a business firm it is a plain business proposition. A bad habit to fall Into is to grumble all of the time that you are doing too much 'work for the salary paid. The duties of the position
are fully explained, and the employe
agrees to do so much work each day for a certain amount of money. If the young man agrees to do the amount of work that belongs to the position, and if he finds there is too much work
for the pay given him, he has the privilege of seeking another situation, the same as the employer has to get another man to do the work if he learns Chat the young man cannot fill the position. But the young man that accepts the first position" finds that results count the most in the business world.

Wililam Stiglitz of the Hub Clothing store tells some amusing stories about Pete Reisch, the eccentric character who for many years conducted
the little clothing store near the Carle
ton hotel. Here is one of them.' One
day a man asked the loan of a horse collar. "Halp yourself," said Reisch. In the course of a few days the man returned and asked Reisch how much he wanted for it. Reisch had two collars, one new and the other very old, and supposing the man had borrowed the new one.
named a price which the other thought altogether too high, out of all proportion to its value and he told Reisch so. The man left, iut returned some days later and began again to dicker for the collar, but Reisch had in the meantime discovered that the man had taken the old collar. He doubled (up the price and at this the man became disgusted, took off the collar and threw It down. He also Intimated that Reisch had bugs and that they belonged to a most pe
culiar bug family. "My friend," said Reisch. "I am not urging you to buy that collar. You don't seem to appreciate Its value. You don't 'seem to know a good thing when you see it. I am perfectly willing to keep it. You never had such a valuable collar on , that horse before." Reisch then ripped open the collar and to the astonish
ment of the man thousands of dollars in bank bills dropped out. For years this had been Reisch's contrivance for secreting his wealth, thinking no doubt, that thieves would never look for money In a horse collar. L.

Sorry for the Lightkeeper. While the dear old country gentleman and his wife were walking on the beach one evening they suddenly noticed the revolving light of a lightship. The old lady gazed at it with open eyes for some minutes,' then she turned to her husband with a puzzled look. "Well," she exclaimed, "if the man in that ship hasn't lit that light this 40 times, and it has gone out everytime!" Country of Contrasts. Armenia is a country of stroas contrasts, of opposite extremes, of heat and cold, light and shade, drought and moisture, and contains many mysteries awaiting solution.
