standing on the bank of the stream. For
tunateIy young man who had seen MISS
Butler sink realized that she was in inmi-

Plunging into the pool, he caught the

few days ago, while search was being
made for a pencil lost by one of the
scholars, it was discovered that beneath
he pianking of the yard large quantity
of sewerage had collected from a broken
sewer connected with the building. The
S-inch ironstone pipe had cracked SO as
to allow almost all OF the sewerage il was
supposed TO carry to escape. thus fotming
a nuisance that is a menace TO the health
of the scholars and the neigh borhood.
The broken pipe will be replaced by a

ing To-day Who Have Not the
Slightest Occasion to 10 So.
Some of the most deadly diseases from
which humanity is a common sufferer are
caused by the entrance into the system,
and the sub equent growth there, OF GER
tain mIcrO-oTganisms, or germs. These
diseases have been aptly called ''tilth dis
eases" because the germs which cause
them flourish most luXurianJ!Y in all sorts
of organic dirt, or filth. Such germs COM
monty occur in wafer drawn from a con-
laminated water supply, or in ice taken
from contaminated ponds or rivers.
Among the most common of germ diseases
are typhoid fever, diphtheria, cholera,
cholera infantum and yellow fever. Ply
sicians all agree that from impure water
is remembered that the only really pure
water is distilled water, that ics water is
often prolific in disease germs, ana that
even boiled water fails to purify it. it is at
once seen how great is the danger that
conlronts Us.
The best ad vice which can be given to
people, whether residing in city or country,
Is TO make use OF some pure, effectUal slim
ulant which will keep the blood in by
clrcul alton and prevent contagious germs
getting stronghold on a stagnant system.
Nothing will do this so we'll as pure whis-
key, and the pure whiskey best known to
the world is Duffy's pure malt
Not only will it keep the system in vig-
orous condition, but its addition to even
contaminated water will render it harm
less

An Appeal fsr CONTRIBUTIONS.

The Washington City Free Library of
1917 H street northwest has issued the fol-
lowing circular:
This library, occupying two small rented
rooms, began January 6, 1896, to loan its
books gratuitously:to residents of the Dis
trict. During the year 6666 borrowers reg
istered, to whom 1OO,44 volumes were
loaned.
About one hundred individuals pledged
annually $500, a sum sufficient to circula g
10000 volumesl The circulation for 1So7
begins on the basis of 100000 volumes an.
nually-three timesfgreater than our means
permit. In consequence our quarters are
inadequate, either for books or for readine
rooms. More help. additional books and e
reading room are imperativeIy needed II

District, who have already agreed to re-

METROPOLITAN CHURCH SPIRE.
Ii Has Been Repaired md in Safer
Than Ever Before.

Now that the spire of the Metropolitan
NJ. r. Church. corner IT, and c streets,
has been repaired it is pronounced by COM
petent authorities as being safer than ever
before.
The spire OF the Metropolitan Church was
twisted by the storm of last September and
for time there was a difference of opin-
ion among the board of trustees to the
propriety of again repairing the spire. 1t
Hammond, the superintendent Of construc-
tion of the American University. submitted
plan for its repair and reinforcement.
The repairs were made on those plans and
the spire has since been pronounced per-
fectly safe and capable of resisting sue
CO. sfully the violence of any storm habitual
tc this section of the country"
The reconstruction Of the spire required
80 feet of iron rod, SO arranged as to
give the spire great strength. The total
cost of the reconstruction was $500, while
the cost of removing the spire would have
beer $3.50.
When the Metropolitan Church was ded-
icated in 1869 1t had no spire. 1t was
throt sh the efforts of Mrs. j. =. Newman,
wife of the pastor of the church at that
time, that money for the spire was pro-
yided and on Thanksgiving day, Novem-
Der ~, 1871. the spire and chime of bells
were dedicated. the spfre was named for
Thomas Kelso of Baltimore, who donated
5000 for its erection On February l, 1876
the spire was badly injured by storm
fee. The board of trustees of the church
now believe the spire is proof against in
jury from any storm that is apt to visit
this city.

T. the Editor Of The Evening star:
n statement which appeared in The Star
Of the 1st instant may he literally true
bat it is apt to ie misleading to the casual
reader. The statement was as follows:
There are few economists who will not
admit that the money spent on an occasion

of philanthropy. But il is difficult to con-
trovert the proposition that il is better to

method than not 20 have ii put in circ ula-

1t may possibly he better 10 spend money
on luXurtes than TO hoard il, but il is d
great nistake TO suppose that the wealthy
man who splurges with his money is a
real beneht TO any community. If Croesus
does not care to spend his money In aims

by investing In some enterprise which will
