CLEANLINESS
As milk is the natural food for the
young, containing within itself all
the reguirements pf the body, and
as any adulteration is injurious to
the system, (either from absorp
tion or otherwise) therefore the
health of the consumer, and espec-
,lly ths - young, depend . to a
-eo g?eat extent upon those who handle
the milk. And as ' there art so
enany ways in handling the cow as
jfvell as ths milk after being drawn
Jrom the cow. Every consumer
.should vjsit the' place from whence
ie gets his milk no matter if it is '
surrounded by a high board fence) X
eand see how the cow and the milk
are handled before using It as a
food for ths baby. J

I understand that other measurements
ha.ve. heenv "taade on .these sDrines at
favorable times and a flow of 144000
gallons per 24 hours found. This may be
true; but it represents the maximum and
'not the miaimqrn fljojv.'-- arid it is pbvious
where you are figuring on a water system
with direct feed and consumption (not a
storage proposition) you must . consider,
not the maximum, but - the minimum
supply.-
Now, the question Is, will the limited
supply of these springs be sufficient for a
growing city like La Qrande?
(low- much) water will the city of La
Qrandeuse? -'-. !- '.. . V , ,
I don't mean by "niggardly allowance,"
but, how much would be ample for con
servative use? .
j With ifHoient meane- for preventing
waste, 'ti gallons per capita would pro
bably suffice for the average aommeroial
city; but Inasmuch at cleanliness, health,
and!, natural beauty it promoted by the
free use of water, at few restrictions at
possible should be introduced. Statistics
give 6Q gallons per capita at the amount
necessary, and that agrees with the
amflunt La Qrande actually uses accord
ing to the best data obtainable.
'Frdtn Actual measurement and compu
tation, the city reservoir has a capacity
of 700,600 gallons when full to the spill
way.' It appears that when the boilers at
the pumping station were being reset the
reservoir was filled and pumping shut
down for 24 hrs., in that time (according
to the water superintendent's statement
W Mr: Fowler, of the Ways and Means
oommuiee me water ' in the reservoir
was to low it was necessary to resume
pumping, according to data obtained from
the city recorder) it was lowered about
6 ft. or by computation '668650 gallons
were drawn off in 42 hours. An average
use of 1530 1 gallons an hour, or 8 1 9230
gallons a day. 'Assuming the population
of La Qrande to 6000 persons, we have
a consumption of 63.8 gallons per capita.
I A little more than shown by statistics,
inese Tigures substantially represent
the situation .
We are using,' in the winter, practically
320,000 gallons a day. The spring on
March 4. 190S had a flow of only 76377
gallpne a day, which ie evidently not
suIBcient.'vV- V:
( have endeavored to Impartially confine
myself to facta, and have only used out
side data in one. Instance. .1 have made
the Investigation at my own expense and
hereby certify that the above is a true
and -correct report, to the best of my

in the neck and groins swell, the hair and eye-brows fall out, copper-colored
spots appear on the body, and in the latter stages of the disease the poison
even works down and destroys the 'bones. No other disease is so highly
