THE RICHMOND PAL IaADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY, FEBRUADY 11, 190D.

LOCAL SITliATIOri IS DISCUSSED BY

SECRETARY HURTY He Wonders if Whitewater Water Was Used for Drinking If Citizens Would Still Cry Out Economy. HE REGARDS MEASURE PERFECTLY FAIR ONE Secretary E. M. Haas of the Commercial Club Still Insists the Bill Will Be Costly One Locally. Yesterday Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, telephoned the Palladium stating that the Commercial club members and other Richmond people are needlessly alarmed Over the probable passage of the stream pollution bill. He said that this city would not be effected by the bill as the Whitewater river water was not used for drinking purposes. Secretary E. M. Haas of the Commercial club contends that even if such be the case under the provisions of the act any citizen, if he regards the dumping of sewage in the river as unsanitary can chance of making the city go to an enormous expense. , This morning the Palladium was in receipt of the following communication from Dr. Hurty: . Hurty's Contentions. "I have read with interest your account In your issue of Feb. 9, and the discussion of your ..Commercial club of the anti-pollution bill, which has passed the house and is now before the senate. A careful reading of this bill will discover to any one that it will not work a hardship In any instance. In the case of Richmond, it does sot apply, simply because Richmond does not pour her sewage into a stream which is used for a domestic water supply. Even if she did, surely the-good people of Richmond would recognize that they have no right to poison people on the stream below them, even if It did cost them money. If the business men of Richmond should (and 1 can not conceive such a situation) desire for the mere matter of saving money, to poison people, then they are poor indeed. Regards Bill as Fair. "I say again, that a careful reading of the bill shows that in no instance will a hardship be made to any city, firm or corporation. It provides that the state board of health shall investigate the situation and shall discuss It with the offending parties, if they are offenders, and every offender will have his day in court before anything final is done. What more could be asked than this? How perfectly fair it is and how right in every respect. "A few words as to the pollution of our, streams. It certainly does not become a Christian people, nor is it business to befoul the streams of the state. Ultimately, they must be depended upon for domestic supplies, simply - because the ground supply is giving out. At Indianapolis, where 20 years ago flowing wells existed, the ground water level is 125 feet below the surface. At Muncie, where flowing wells existed only twelve years ago, the water is 00 feet below the surface. The United States hydrographic survey has shown that the average fall of the water level all over the state of Indiana In the last ten years, has been eight feet. This means the state is drying up and if the people of Indiana do not wish to make a desert of this fair state, they must return some of the forests which they have so avariciously destroyed, and must stop polluting the surface streams upon which they must eventually depend for water. ' f Certainly Not Economy. It certainly can not be called economy, it certainly can not be called business for , the people to destroy their patrimony. We have Inhabited a beautiful land, which formerly had upon it an abundance of forests. The forests we have, destroyed and called it business and called it development. Forests are essential for our life, our health and our happiness. We have exhausted the gas supply, utilizing 10 per cent, and wasting 90. And this was business, but it was really foolishness. : The whole supply which it took millions of years to make, has been exhausted In ten years. Now, we are exhausting our water supply and will wake up some day to find out how foolish and extravagant we have been, t . Warning the People. , , The state board of health is now trying to warn the people against this coming condition, and business men will not. It they consult their own best Interests,' oppose the conservation of the streams and the lakes. ?s . "If there are a few sentences of the bill which do not read right let us change them, but surely do not let us kill this beneficent economic measure." Very sincerely yours, " J.-N. HURTY, Secretary. C R. Kluger. the Jeweler. 1060 Virginia Ave., Indianapolis. Ind-, writes: "I was so weak from kidney trouble that I could hardly walk a hundred feet Four bottles of Foley's Kidney Remedy cleared my complexion, cured my backache and the irregularities disappeared, and I can now attend to business every day, and recommend Foley's Kidney Remedy to all sufferers, as It cured me after the doctors asd tttr reneges had failed," A.

HIS GREAT SERVICE.

'Am Illoatratloa of the , " . , the Eloer Da' willT of Dumas pere when manager of the Theatre Historique was continually studying the influence of the temperature on the sale of tickets at least, be seemed to do so. In fact, this seeming interest In the showing of the thermometer was, like so many other acts of his, nothing but an expression of the proverbial kindness of bis heart One day Dumas happened to meet an old friend whom be had not seen for thirty years. "Where are you going to dine tonight?" he asked the friend. "Tonight I 6hall dine nowhere," was the answer. "Oh, no," said Dumas; "you are mistaken. You will dine with me." He led the friend into bis house and gave him the upper place at his table. The poor man had not had such a dinner for a long time, and Dumas when retiring into his writing room after the coffee said, "It is a matter of course that I expect yos tomorrow at the same time." The friend came the next day, and the day after this, and so on for ten years up to bis death. One day, bowever, he told Dumas that as be was eating bread be did not earn this arrangement could not continue. "If I am not able honestly to earn my meals I shall not come again. Tell me in what way I can be of service to you." Dumas thought a moment; then he said: "You can do me a great favor. You may go to the new bridge every day and take the temperature by Chevalier's thermometer. The temperature, you must know, is of great moment in the matter of the sale of tickets. Could you do this?" The poor fellow answered "affirmatively and from that time on reported to Dumas every day, "At noon the thermometer showed so and so many degrees in the shade." And Dumas, who of course did not care in the least about the temperature, replied with the same regularity: "I am very much obliged. If you only knew what a service you are doing me!" Harper's Weekly. THE GOLDEN RULEOFTHREE Three things to be pure, just and honest. Three things to live courage, affection and gentleness. Three things to govern temper, tongue and conduct Three things for which to fight honor, home and country. " Three things to cherish the true, the beautiful and the good. Three things about which to think life, death and eternity. Three things to commend thrift industry and promptness. Three things to despise cruelty, arrogance and Ingratitude. Three things to love the wise, the virtuous and the innocent Three things for which to wishhealth, friends and contentment Three things to admire dignity, gracefulness and intellectual power. Three things to attain goodness of heart integrity of purpose and cheerfulness of disposition. Leadership. Paa-aacltr of Rata. A glove manufacturer took from a cabinet a handsome pair of brown gloves. "These gloves are made of ratskln," be said. "They look well at first glance, but examine them carefully. Look into the skin. The skin, though soft and fine, revealed on close examination a great many cuts and scars and scratches. None of these went quite through. Nevertheless their effect was to weaken the gloves greatly. "Those cuts and scars," said the manufacturer, "are what bar ratskin out of glovemaklng. Yon never get a skin without them; hence you can't turn the damaged skin into a good glove. Rats fight so much that they become at an early age a mass of scars. Their torn hides are of no use to commerce." LondOB'i Pint Balloon Ascent. . . When Lunardi made the first balloon ascent from London in 1784 he had for fellow passengers a cat a dog and a pigeon. Such was the excitement caused by this ascent that a jury, deliberating on the fate of a criminal, returned a hasty verdict of acquittal in order not to miss the spectacle, while King George III. broke up a meeting of his council to watch the progress of the balloon. It was in the following year, 1783, that an adventurous Dublin undergraduate, Mr. Maguire, made a balloon ascent and was actually knighted by the lord lieutenant for his courage.
