l jiai-'Ji iMintMTiis the j-n-sciit watr system.
T'lit is to be dour; with this system? Js it to he piv'ii to 1 at
UVh'h in return fur a black sat MM fi'l with -reenhak.s, lefr0on
the slopes of Kuxv Anne in the nrk of the nionn! Or is it to he
nbaiulniiM nw its Value lost, while the rin- executes a war danee
and divi.les the secret spoils?
Ah ha, and Hist! SiiH-picious!
iut like all the other suspicions this one vanislies when it con
front Die facts.
Nothing is to he tlm.e with the present water system, because
within can be done without a vole of the people. The present
waler svstem was secured by direct purchase, is the property of the
city now, and will remain the city'a property until the people fc'o
t i the polls and vote otherwise.
The en-iueers in their report recommend that the present sys
tem be retained, for the present, for non-use docs not invalidate the
eitv's title. It can 1h wild whenever the conditions for a sale are
i:.fist propitious, ami the people vote fr such actum.
So the opportunities for "raft or financial loss do not appear
vm-v salubrious. Nothing can be done with this system, by the
water board, the city council or anyone else. The system belong
the people, and the people alone can determine the manner of
its disposal.
So what becomes of the suspicions? They vanish almi- with
all the other suspicions, which the campaign has conjured up,
when confronted by the facts.

l)cfiir; Ihcin, they realize there is no other safe way out.
More than that, tlicy realize that while Imildinj? a new water
system can not reduce taxes, it can and will increase the individual
I roperty owner's ability to pay them. ' ,

This rliunt'c in sentiment is grnt ifyiiit;, lut it contains one i
lierieiit weakness, namely it breeds n feeling of over-confidence.
Sensing the change in sentiment, the individual is apt to conclude
tlic water bonds will pass whether lie votes for them or not.
There is no justification for this confidence. No one can be cer
tain the water bonds will win, unless every person who favors them
goes to the polls and votes for them. The opposition will lie there
1110 per cent. I'nless the proponents do likewise, the water bonds
will fail.
This would be ft calamity. For it would not enly delay the con
struction of u new water .system, but it might jeopardize the rights
of the city to Big liutle Springs, the only adequate and desireable
water supply the city has.
So plan now to go to the polls on Thursday next, and plan now
t i let nothing interfere.

Disinfecting After Sickness .
Plense ndvise what is the most effi
cacious way to disinfect a sick room
after the recovery or removal of a
case of contagious disease, like scar
latina. Answer. First, scarlatina Is scarlet
fever, nothing else. The most effica
cious disinfection is soap and water
scrubbing of floors nnd woodwork:
boiling of all bed clothes, patient's
clothing and personal and toilet arti
cles, or burning of what cannot be
boiled. Then admit fresh air and
sunlight freely to the room for 2i
hours, and we'll guarantee it germ
less. You can raise more odor and
use all kinds of fanciful choinicuta.
but you can't improve upon elbow
grease, soap and water, fresh air and
sunlight.
