Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1892-10-07
The Democrat believes that imme-

secure water works for Mineral
Point. It has been proven by the
wells at the zinc works and pulp mill
that an inexhaustible supply of water
can be obtained here at depth Of
about one hundred and fifty feet. AT
the highest point in the city it could
be reached at depth Of from two
hundred and fifty to three hundred
feet. An analysis Of the water has
shown it to be of the purest kind
entirely free from animal or vegetable
substances. 1t is unnecessary to dis
cuss the question as to whether it
would be beneficial to the people of
of Mineral Point to be supplied with
this water. Every person who has
given the subject a moments consid-
GRAFTON knows that one Of the grandest
sanitary measures that could be adopt
ed for the city would be to secure the
establishment here Of a system of
water works. Something in gen
eral way has already been done toward
getting a company from abroad to
take hold Of the matter. But what
we believe is needed is an organized
effort on the part Of our citizens to
bring about the establishment of
water works Let the matter be
talked up and its Importance properly
understood by the people cf Mineral
Point, and we believe that water works
will soon be secured for our advancing
city. Not only would healthf ,lIHteS be
promoted thereby, but great protection

Water works, supplying us with
absolutely pure water, are greatly to
be desired, and The Democrat will
continue to agitate the question Of
establishing a system here that will be
adquate to our needs.

There can be no health for either
mind or body SO long as the blood is
vitiated. Cleanse the vital current
from all impurities by the use of
Ayers SarsaparilIa. This medicine
recruits the wasted energies, strength
ems the nsrves, and restores health to
the debilitated system.

Our Girls.
The moral standing of town or
city is in measure dependent upon
the character of its girls. If woman
becomes careless of her character the
moral reputation of the town is soon
demoraliZed. We have in our city as
fine an army of young girls as any
city can produce. Yet we regret to
say that some of them by their action
on the street indicate that they are
blind to their own interests. We
sometimes wonder when we see our
girls on the street almost every night
what kind of homes have they? Have
you ever thought, girls, that this prac-
tice of walking the street having an
injurious influence upon your char
acter? Do you know that you are
often misjudged, and your fair name
polluted, because of your thoughtless
department when on the street: DO
mothers ever ask themselves the ques-
ton, What reason has my daughter
for going down town every night?
How the parents are SO blind and
Indifferent to the great risks their
daughters are running we cannot un-
derstand. Girls need to be the more
careful because of the greater danger.
Society will cast off her whose fair
name has been soiled and still con-
tinues to recognize the william who
was the cause. Such public meeting
places as the depot when the train
arrives at night, and the postotlice
during the distribution of the mail,
should be avoided. If you haven't
urgent business there, don't go, girls.
1t does you no good. Better stay at
home You are safer there. ~
