HEALTH SUGGESTIONS.
What Sanitary Engineer Has to Say
About the Use of Lime.

SAVANNAH, Aug. 23.-Editor Morning
NetOs At this time of The free use of disin-
fectants in this city, l should like to warn
the inhabitants against the promiscuous use
of lime in or about drains
The lime iuself is OF no use as disinfect-
ing agent when once slaked by water, and
if at the time Of shaking 1t finds its way into
or about drain or sewer, it may form a
very serious obstruction, which in time
might develope germs and gasses even as
deadly as yellow fever.
A small piece of lime, hardening against
the inside Of a sewer pipe, may be sufficient
to, in time, completely stop the flow of that
pipe by its forming the nucleus for an accu-
mulating obstructi IN.
There is no better agent with which to
flush drain than pure water. This is easy
to use and effective. the only proviso being
that the quantity be not stinted.
A household Grain which is not in constant
use should be thoroughly flushed period
lcally, not by pouring water in slowly, but
by emptying a buc&etful at time.
If this is done legularly AMI the drain is
well and efficiently ventilated, the addition
of little disinfecting fluid or powder round
the opening of the drain renders security
doubly sure. And if lime of any sort is to
be used, then let it be chloride CT Time,
which will not harden ON contact with
water.
Ny attention was called to the subject of
the promiscuous use of lime by complaint
| heard the other day. 1t was to the effect
that one Of the colored men, then going
from house to house with the lime, had
dumped a shovelfUl into the pan of a water
closet, which, having water i'll it, slal1ed the
lime, which commenced to harden, and the
state of Affairs was only discovered just in
time to prevent its becoming thoroughly
set.
do not wish to say a word against the
usefulness of lime in destroying the germs
of disease or noxious matters amongst
weeds or over-dry places, but it is perfectly
useless, and may be exceedingly harmful, to
put the same in the drains. Yours truly,
PERCY SUGDEN,
Civil and Sanitary Engineer,

The Best Time to Buv Valuables.

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of a dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. Ia a word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock In various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceite, Lew tricko and quips in jewelry, and
SO on. We've got to keep up you know,
with the strides Of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we aeiH sell us1-U
close to move some of it, This 10 G good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornmeut we offer line par excellence cf
Ladies' fne Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chairs and
Charms, Gents Watches and Jeweiry, etc.
AL of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give notc. They
will keep, and you will save money.

ICE GETTING CHEAPER.
Housekeepers Happy Over the Pros
pect of an Ice War.

Housekeepers Happy Over the Pros
pect of an Ice War.
There has been drop in the price of ice
this week. Patrons Of the Savannah les
delivery company, that is families who
have been supplied By the delivery wagons,
have been notified that reduction has been
made in the price. They have been paying
all along at the rate of one cent per pound,
buying by the piece. aud at the rate of
three-quarter cents per pound wheie tickets
were bought. Two books of ten five pound
tickets each, which were sold TT as cents,
have been reduced TO 30 cents. Reductions
were also made to the shopkeepers who had
been buying in fifty and 100 pound lots, the
price dropping from 90 cents to 40 cents.
1t is understood that the cut was brought
about through the action of the Artesian
ice company. The demand upon the latter
companys works was 50 great that they
ordered out a cargo Of natural ice and with
this stock ahead they put on their street
delivery wagons for the sale of the arte-
siau ice TO private consumers, drawing on
the stock of natu al ice to supply the mar
ket men, saloons and shippers. The price
10 private consumers was put down 10y the
Artesan ice company TO half n cent per
pound. The Savannah ice delivery com
pany maintained the higher price until
confronted with tue competition of the
Arteian company, when it made CORE
spending reduction.
The Artesian ice company's officers say
that as soon as the heaviest trade of the
year is over they will at once arrange for
the enlargement of tSeir works. Con
sumers are happy over the reduction that
has already been made, and they want to
see the price 60 still lower, If it will.

ance here about two weeks ago and retailed
readily at from 50 so to 50 per bushel
They have fallen off, uaough, to about
al per bushel now, and If they con-
tinue to come in as they have they
will go begging. The bulk OF the
grapes come from VINEYARDS rear the city.
We receive them, though, from points along
the Central railroad uutil they become a
dead weight on our hands, then we advise
our shippers to discontinue sending us
scuppernongs. In the absence of any other
fruit, the hotels use quantities of them"
as there much profit in scuppernongsp
1--WE do not encourage tne shipping of the
grape here. There are so many large vine
yards right around Savannah which can
supply the market, that we do not consider
it treating our shippers right to advise them
to send their fruiJ here. After the market
gets fat, the growers begin TO
make their grapes into wine which
retails from 81 a gallon up, depending
on the age of the wine. There arc few
large growers around Savannah that put
no scuppernongs on the market at all. They
make wine out of the fruit and market it
north"
when does the season for scuppernongs

About the middle or latter part of Sep
