olution of instruction adopted at meet
ing of the Citizens Executive Commit
tee OF East st. Louis, Mayor H. F. Bad
er, OF that city, to-day sent out addition
al appeals for aid to all cities in Illinois

While the relief corps has sufficient
funds to meet all immediate expenses
as well as continue its work ten days
longer, il intends TO overlook no oppor-
tunity whereby Its means may be aug
mented. While the starving have been
fed and most Of the homeless housed
temporarily, the need of relief work will
continue for some time.
The most popular plan, and the one
that will undoubtedly be adopted is for
Merchants Exchange Committee TO as
ume active control of the field. If this
is agreed upon the Organization will
have charge OF all money as heretofore,
and o. all donations. One mammoth
distributing station will be provided,
and from ii will be delivered all goods

Filters.

Prof. Tyndall's idea, expressed many
years ago, that filtration through a plug
Of cotton wool was q most efficient
method Of freeing air from microbic
germs. led to attempts being made to
sterilize water In the same way. Little
success has hitherto been attained, but
quite recently NJ. Henri Potevin claims
that he has evolved a method Of % con-
structing such filters that he can com.
pltssely sterllize water In large quaint.
ties. The flbers Of the cotton are finely
powdered and sifted. and then suspend.
ed in water and allowed to settle This
they do in compact mass, forming q
paste. which, allowed to dry slowly,
gives Alter plates quite impervious to
germs, etc. Tho best results are gained
by placing the plates between two
plates Of sandstone or perforated metal,
and II they are arranged in a battery,
like the filter presses 30 commonly used
in Europe for sewage, sludge, etc.. very
large quantities of water can be rapidly
sterilized. Periodical cleanings are nee.
essary, a. NO matter what care Ii taken,
