Important Information For
Everyone.
TO THE PUBLIC:

IAPrsliiteut sstaIlon, Uni
yersity Of Idaho, mons claim
more immediate attention than
an examination Of our potable
waters, Reliable information
on this subject will be valuable
not only to the resident miner,
or farmer, OF fruit grower; but
to all prospective immigrants,
Good, wholesome water and
plenty Of it is an important
Item that enters largely into the
choice OF a home either in the
country or city, Our state ia
greatly diversified in it's physi-
cal features, such as altitude,
soil and climate, and all these
characteristics affect the purity
OF drinking waters, aside from
the fact that the Halkali" plains
offer special lines of study per-
tanning TO potable waters, For
instance, some spring water
which has supplied the needs of
many a family has exerted no
deleterions effect upon the sys-
tenn, yet does possess unusual
phenomena Of odor, color and
taste at different times during
the year, One well near Mos
COW suddenly yielded such nn-
wholesome water last spring as
to make its further use danger
GUS. Later the quality improved
and the water is now in daily
use.
Influenced by these and other
conditions, the Station Council
Of the University of Idaho has
decided to issue preliminary
bulletin, in the near future, on
the drinking waters Of the state,
and requests all persons interest
ed to forward samples of drink
ing water to the Central Station,
together with such data as will
enable the chemist to conduct
successfully the investigation.
That these analyses may be of
the greatest value and deduc-
tons therefrom pertinent, it is
not only necessary that the sam
pies be taken from many of the
widely remote sections Of the
state, but that every precaution
be used to secure water free from
outside contamination.
Strictly mineral water is not
desired but water from springs,
dug wells and bore wells used for
culinary and drinking purposes,
etc, Sample and ship according
to the following directions,
1. For sanitary analysis not
less than one gallon should be
sent,
2. Use only demijohns and
jugs as containers; metallic YES
sells or casks must not be en-
ployed,
3. Thoroughly cleanse the
vessel with warm water, then
rinse several times with sample
water, Treat the cork likewise,
if not new. Thoroughly secure
cork in place.
4, In all cases, secure an ay-
erage sample and take the water
direct from spring, well or hy-
drant.
5. The sample should be
plainly and accurately addressed.
and should be accompanied by a
statement giving information on
the immediate surroundings of
the spring or well depth of same;
source Of supply and whether
abundant or meagre; effect of
or drowth on the vol
lme; some account of the strata
which the we'll or flow
has passed; temperature of wa
.er; and whether used for domes-
;ic purposes only. Such data
should be positive and not hear
'ay information.
Water sampled according to
.hese directions will be analysed

underwent in the making of fac

Words Of Wisdom.


Truth is always willing to be bap.
tized with fire.
Contempt is the proper punish
ment of affectation.
The prayer of faith never stops
expecting an answer.
Nobody can become rich by never
giving away anything.
1t is hard to agree with man who
quarrels with himself.
The best workers are those who
have learned best how to rest.
The pleasures of sin have bright
look, but their touch is death.
The man who never praises his
wife deserves to have poor one.
1t is only little of the preachers
work that is done in the pulpit.
1t takes contact with others to
make us acquainted with ourselves.
What some people call prudence
is often what others call meanness.
The right sideis always the strong
est no matter how weak it may
look.
Not many tears are shed when the
man dies who has lived only for him
self.
The man who is not afraid Of a
little sin will soon be in the power
of a big one.
1t is mistake to consider marri-
age merely as scheme Of happiness
1t is also bond of service.
The greatest man is he who chooses
the right with invincible resolution
who reslsts the sorest temptations
from within and without who bears
the heaviest burdens cheerfully; who
is calmest in storms.
