PURE WATER SUPPLY VITAli
Health of a Community Is Vtry Large
ly Dependent Upon It.
Too many precautions cannot bo
taken toward guarding tho water sup
ply of a town. Along this lino Ed
ward Wcgmann says In tho Metropoli
tan Magazine:
The health of a community depends
largely upon tho purity of its water
supply. Formerly it was thought that
water In which chemistry failed to find
any noxious elements was fit for do
mestic use, but in recent years tho sci
ence of bacteriology has demonstrated
that such water may contain the germs
of dangerous diseases. These germs in
crease very rapidly in number and
aro often communicated by tho con
tamination of a source of wnter supply
from one infected person to a whole
community. Such a case occurred In
1884-5 in Plymouth, Pa. A man who
had contracted typhoid fever In Phila
delphia was nursed during tho winter
in a house near a mountain brook
which flowed into a river from which
Plymouth derived Its water supply.
The refuse from tho sickroom was
thrown on the snow near tho house
without being disinfected. As cold
weather does not kill disease germs,
the typhoid germs were washed In the
spring by tho melting of tho snow into
tho mountain stream referred to above,
and as a consequence more than 1,000
cases of typhoid fever and about 100
deaths from this disease occurred in
Plymouth, these cases being all con
fined to persons drinking the polluted
'water.
In 1892 Hamburg, Germany, was vis
ited by a terrible epidemic of cholera.
This city derives Its water supply from
the river Elbe. At tho time of tho
epidemic the river water without being
filtered was used for domestic purposes.
It has been proved beyond question
that the germs of cholera were com
municated to the city's water supply
by throwing into the river the excreta
of a sailor who was sick with cholera
on a vessel anchored In the Elbe. Near
ly 0,000 persons died of cholera In
Hamburg during this epidemic, but In
Altona, a suburb of Hamburg, using
Elbe water that had been filtered
through sand, not a case of cholera oc
curred that could be traced to the drink
ing of the until tered water of Ham
burg. Home Trade Homilies.
When your next door neighbor sella
the same kind of goods that the mall
order catalogue udtcitlses and at cor
responding prices, you ueed a doctor',
attention if you purchase by the mall
route.
Every tub must stand on its own
bottom. So also must every town. II
you knock the bottom out of prosperi
ty in your town by doing a large part
of jour buying from the catalogue
houses, the place Is calculated to fall
down pretty soon.
If the farmer who does a good deal
of buying from mall order concerns ex
pects to continue selling his vegetables
and other products in his home town.
ho should remember that It Is a poor
rule that won't work both ways.
Folks looking for bargains need no
confine their researches to the large
and lurlug catalogues from tho city
bouses. Sometimes local newspapers
advertise bargains to be had right at
home, and it might pay to look for
such things In the homo papers. Then
if you don't find what you want ask
the merchant why he doesn't ndvertlse.
The city mall order store is the real
octopus. Its thousands of tentacles
are sucking In money from every direc
tion. Money Is the blood of n commu
nity, and when it Is drunk by tho oc
topus to such an extent the town is
sure to become anaemic.
Catalogue Deceptions.
"No, thank you. I want what I ask
ed for. Good day." This quotation
took the grand prize in a recent con
test held by a magazine In the cam
paign against substitution In trade.
You do not always get what you ask
for when you order through a cata
logue. It is very easy to make an ar
ticle look better in a picture than It
looks In reality, and this is done fre
quently in the catalogues. But thero
is a still more insidious and contempti
ble way of deceiving tho public which
some of these concerns employ. They
print both a picture and the description
of a piece of furniture, for Instance.
According to tho picture. It is elegant
Suppose it is a dining room table. The
picture will show handsome five inch
table legs. Tho reader is attracted at
once. Even when ho finds by perus
ing the description that tho table has
two inch legs bo is not altogether dis
enchanted. Quito ofton a person or
ders an article through the Influence of
the picture
A Hint to tho Wise.
Tho Paris (Mo.) Appeal, referring to
the business done by mall order houses
throughout tho various counties in Mis
souri, editorially says: "Advertising Is
costing tho merchants of Monroo coun
ty thousands of dollars every yoar not
that our merchants actually pay out
thousands of dollars each year for ad
vertising, but tho great dopartment
stores in the cities ndvertlso every day
In the year, telling tho public Just what
they have to sell and what it will cost.
Tho papers carrying these advertise
ments nud thousands of price lists go
nil over the county, and people see
what they need advertised and order
it from tho city stores. Who enn blame
thum? Merchants all over this county
have tho same goods and often fpr less
money, but tho buyer does not know
It, so ho sends off for his goods. Now,
if the merchants in this couuty wero
to uso tho samo methods that thp city
merchants use the mall order houses
would get nut few orders from old
Monroe,"
