ried a circle of newly made friends by
his never ending prattle of colorless
reminiscences. After he had retired
for the night a judge advocate who
had known him for some years re
marked to the group:
"We call him the thirteen Inch gun."

HEALTH COMMITTEE
: AIDS WATER PROBE
(Continued from page 1)
Dr. J. W. Norris, to State Health Offi
cer, Dec. 7, reported Dec. 13:
No. 1 from reservoir contained 10
organisims per c. c, and colon bacilli
negative.
No.'l! from terminal faucet at cem
etery contained 3 organisms per c.
c, and colon bacilli negative.
No. 3 from basin unaltered river
water at intake contained 540 organ
isms per c. c, and colon bacilli pos
itive. A fifth set of samples, four in num
ber,, and two days later a sixth, were
submitted to- Prof. T. D. Beckwitn,
bacteriologist O. A. C, Dec. 7., and
by City Health -Committee three, its
chairman, reported Dec, 12 as follows:
' No." i water plant well contained
67 bacteria per c. c. '
No. 2 J. Q. Adams Street residence
general faucet contained 28 bacteria
per c. c.
No. 3 Green Point residence, gen
eral faucet, contained 39 bacteria per
c. c.
No. 4, Eastham School building,
contained 69 bacteria per c. c.
All of these counts are exceedingly
low and other conditions being favor
able this test would seem to show
that all of these samples are good
drinking water.
One c. c. means one cubic centimet
er and is equivelant approximately to
one twenty-tighth of an ounce.
In continuation of this test a series
of preparations was made in order to
determine whether or not sewage was
present in these samples. The exam
ination for the determination of spe
cific typhoid is almost impossible and
the ordinary routine examination of
water samples is to determine wheth
er sewage he present In the water,
since sewage is indicative of contam
ination and shows that the presence
of disease contamination in the water
may, be suspected. The following re
sults were obtained:
No. 1, well found sewage bacteria
to be present" in quantities as small
as 1 c. c.
No. 2, J. Q. Adams Street, resi
dence faucet, shows sewage contam
ination present in quantities of 3 c.
c.
No. 3, Eastham School building fau
cet, shows no sewage contamination
present in quantities of 3 c. c.
No. 4, Green Point residence fau
cet, shows sewage bacteria present in
1 c. c. and over.
- This first set of ampjes therefore
would seem to show that the water
from Eastham School building is1 fit
for dwnking purposes while the other
three samples are non-potable x by
which is meant they contain sewage
germs and are therefor to be suspect
ed of the presence of disease.
On Dec. 10th in the afternoon, there
was received from you, marked res
ervoir, and examination was made for
the presence of sewage bacteria only,
none of which were found in quanti
ties of 3 c. c. This water therefor
may be considered same."
T. D. BECKWITH.
Sewage and colon bacteria are al
most universally associated.
Such reports to be of definite value
must be based upon conditions that
are absolutely correct from the stand
point of, (1) preparation of recepta
cles for samples; (2) source of sup
ply from which samples are selected;
(3) elements of time elapsing between
collection and analysis of samples,
and (4) scientific accuracy in analy
sis and record.
A collection of four samples was
made and submitted to Beckwitn on
the afternoon of the 7th Inst. (1)
Bottles new and corks new were kept
submerged In boiling water forty min
utes, bottles were then emptied of
the boiling water and corked immed
iately, nothing unsterilized coming
into contact with either bottles or
corks. Bottles were uncorked in
close proximity to water for filling,
filled and corked quickly, no contact
with contamination of any sort being
allowed. '
(2) One sample was taken from the
general purpose faucet in a resi
dence on John Quincy Adams Street,
north of Twelfth Street, where ty
phoid had been for two weeks; a sec
ond from the Eastham School build
ing where several hundred children
had been drinking daily; a third from
a kitchen faucet in Green Point,
where no case of typhoid has appear
ed, and a fourth from the well at the
water plant itself, in the order named.
(3) The collecting was begun at
half past two in the afternoon and
finished with the samples in a box
at the express office at about four
o'clock. The box was forwarded to
O. A. C. at 6:50 and by previous ar
rangements with Prof. Beckwith he
met the train at the depot, secured
the samples and before nine o'clock
in the evening had begun the analy
ses in the laboratory.
. It was believed at the time of this
collection that the sample from the
Eastham School building was derived
from the reservoir but upon informa
tion that at this time of the year this
water is supplied direct from the well
a fifth sample taken direct from t-
White Ribbon Remedy
. is an honest, attempt "to aid

evil.
