THE vAUE OF HOT WATER.

At this season of the year advice on the
use of water is always timely. So many
general recommendations are offered to boil
water, and so few people are found to fol-
low them, it seems hardly wise to continue
with well meant ATTITUDES which no one
needs.
Boiled water is always fiat and insipid,
and few, if any ever enjoy water so treated,
as beverage. In cities reasonable care is
taken to have good water, and if to be
used plain it had better be fresh drawn and
not boiled or filtered unless the tiltering
medium is replaced often or returned. AS
very few persons take the precaution to
recharge filters, the only safe thing is to do
without one. While it is perfectly true
that filtered water will show brighter than
unfiltered water, it is also true that in
passing through filter which has been
will take up imperceptible germs far more
deadly in their results than the matters
removed.
II water must be boiled, it had better
either be used as hot as it can be drank, or,
if drank when cooked, be favored with a
small quantity Of some mild acid to render
it palatable.
Visitors to summer resorts are naturally
concerned about the quality of water they
are to drink there. Perhaps it is not too
much to say that next to the lovely scenery
Of the Green and White mountains Of Yer
mont and New Hampshire the water
supply is the strongest attraction. With
the mountain scenery and the strong air
one finds good water is nearly always asso
ciated This double advantage is known
to produce the best type of physique in
man, and to yield results of equal value in
domestic animals kept for profit.
The solvent power of water makes or
mars the health and happiness of a COM
munity. This solvent action explains the
extraordinary effects produced by the use
Of well known popular spring and well
waters having their sources in the New
England States.
When we remember the enormous guam
tity of earth matter absorbed in our ordi-
nary food, which cannot be avoided, it
becomes matter of supreme moment that
we wash out of the body as much of this as
possible by a systematic use Of the best of
water The quantity of earth matter
stored up in the body det' rmines in a
marked way the degree of health Or dis.
ease one may suffer from.
Gout, rheumatism, gravel and sluggish
circulation are due in no small degree to
the quality of water used. Few can esti-

THE PROFESSION OF UTILITY
WOMEN.

1t has been suggested by clever writer
that the utility women is a need of the
present day.
There are many people who possess nc
specially" who yet have a general all.
round skill which would fit them to be OF
great service to others and bring reason
able recompense in return.
The utility woman must stand ready
to help in any capacity where in emer-
gency, hOusekeeper's services would be
needed in the various homes in her parti-
cular town or locality. If she is a person
of intelligence and has had a family and
home Of her own she should understand
everything pertaining to the care of chill
dTen and thel efore be able to offer her ser
vices with confidence.
The suggestion came originally from a
community of summer cottages where there
was one who could be depended on in the
various crises which are always occurring
and list OF the duties the utility woman
would be required to perform was APP
pended.
She should know how to manage a but
ler's pantry through dinner party, be
able to help occasionally in the care of an
invalid who does not need trained nurse,
be willing to look after child while its
mother attends an entertainment, etc., all
such services to be Iaid for by the hour.
To this might be added the ability to
pack trunk properly and with expedi-
ton, for there are many cases where, in a
suddenly enforced journey, such outside
assistance would be invaluable. If this
useful member of the community added
to her other accomplishments that of being
expert with her needle, she could be called
in to help with the family sewing in an
emergency and even in large cities such
help would often be most acceptable. Only
the other day a friend of the writer was
greatly Inconvenience because her own
dressmaker falling ill, she had difficulty in
finding some one who would undertake to
freshen up gown which she needed hur-
riedly for an evening.
To the foregoing list might be added the
closing of house after the family had left
for the season and its subsequent opening
in preparation for their return. A reliable
woman who understands airing horse pro
perly after it has been closed for long
period and putting it in habitable condi-
ton would be appreciated in many quar-
tiers, and if she could be further depended
upon to engage the servants beforehand
the return to town wonld be robbed of
innumerable disagreeble features.
In the woman's exchanges there is a
bulletin where workers advertise their
capabilities and give address, but this, so
far as the writer is aware, is the nearest
approach to an effort to bring the work
and the worker in this field togt ther 1t
has been further suggested that some of
the many philanthropic organizations open
bureau where this particular demand
and supply can be brought in direct
communication. and thus afford a chance
for the "utility woman" to make engage
ments and establish herself.

be hers when there ia better Scquaint-
ance among bankers and more irequent
reports OF ths condition CT each bank are
made, that they may know each other
more thoroughly.
One thing / can say ior the Associated
bankers of Log Angeles, that nothing
like trust has ever been spoken OF at
any of their meetings, and the question
of interest han not baen mentioned,
leaving this matter entirely open and
governed exclusively by competition,
and the policy OF each institution,
and aometimss by the indigestion OF the
banker.
A clearing house ia Eot only useful to
bsnke, but can be OF great benefit to the
whole immunity in the encouragement
OF various enterprises which have for
their object the development OF the
country. Perhaps every eeries OF
twenty years, more or less. when gem
eral credit has been extended too far
and goods have been manufactured to
supply double that which ia consumed
and can find no purchasers, panics sweep
over the land like tornadoes, carrying
down the best financial institutions in
the country and creating havoc in every
branch OF industry, until everyone
questions the solvency OF banks, his
own neighbor and perhaps himself.
This is time when clearing house
can come in and show It's strength. The
action OF the New York clearing house
during the late panic. saved the country
from sinking into the very depths OF
ruin. There the bankers stood touching
elbows, facing the common danger, and
although they may not be patriots in
the common acceptance OF that word,
yet they deserve the very highest COM
mendation for the msnner in which they
preserved the credit OF the country.
The only criticism which their action
has met is by those who were
willing to zee the business of the
country destroyed if thereby they could
inJure the banks. BY iseuing' $40 ,000,
600. of Clearinghouse certificates the
financial ship was floated over the
stormy seas which were crashing into
aplinters every financial craft in the
country, and demonstrated the necessity
OF larger circulating medium and the
propriety OF eueh medium being OF
flexible character and to conform to our
commercial wants with such addition
from year to year ae to adjust itself to
the increasing volume OF business, and
let it be of gold. silver or paper all in
