Wednesday evening H. Theodore Hansen, planer foreman at the Co quille Lufhber Mills, and Miss Kath erine Willoughby, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Willoughby of Hall’a creek, who has been one of the teach ers in our city schools the past year, were united in marirage at the Fed erated parsonage by Rev. A. B. Barry. Mrs. Flora E.

I I I I Poor Plumbiug May Endanger Drinking Water Í One of the many reasons why it is important for every city to regulate the installation of plumbing is the fact that an incorrectly designed plumbing system may permit the drinking water to be polluted with waste water with consequent dan ger to health, the Plumbing and Heat ing Industries Bureau points out. Many epidemics of water-borne diseases have been traced to faulty design of plumbing system or to deterioration of the system. As a result of experience and re search .work, correct methods for the installation of plumbing fixtures and the design of supply pipe, waste pipe, and vent pipe lines have been worked out. If the correct procedure as specified in an up-to-date ordinance is followed public health will be pro tected. A plumbing code Is very definitely a protection of the interest of the public, and every city should have a code drawn up in acordance with the most recent developments in the Industry. its Mellowness ! , fy any standard you choose President Roosevelt was so en There*» not a trsce ot «ting or hanhnos in its tranced by photographs of scenes on j flavor becau»e Bohemian Club Export Lager is the Oregon coast that he approves if brewed solely from the more costly deliratrly the idea of a seashore national parit Every cloud has its silver lining.
