directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of

of the disease, and giving the patient strength

Filters for purifying water are Of
many kinds in their mechanical struc-
ture, but according to the report of the
Maryland state board of health. it
would appear that such filters cay
steadily lose efficiency until they be-
come first class culture beds for bacteria
In evidence of this position an example
cited is that of man in Baltimore who
sends the whole water supply of his
house through large filter and subse-
quently puts his drinking water through
one of the small domestic filters COM
mon in the market
A test of this arrangement showed
that on day when the city taps were
running $40 bacteria to the cubic cen.
timeter the large filter was delivering
some 0. 900 bacteria in the same water
When the large filter was repacked.
only 0 bacteria per centimeter got
through it, though this same water
when passed through the small filter
came ont with II bacteria per cent?

This aspect of the matter is still fur

If single tax has any merit then
socialism is the prescription which
should be adopted. There is no more
reason for the conliscation OF land
than there is for taking personal
property. Single takers who say that
land will not be confiscated under
that system know they are telling nm
untruth, says the White River Journal.
Father McGlynn, who is the ablest
man in single taxdom, said in his Gel
brated speech in Chicago in reply to a
man who told him to go to the Da-
kotas for free land: ave want free
land in the heart of Chicago and New
York, and not only that but we are
going to have it."

TEN years ago Friday the bust
ness portion of Spokane was swallow
ed up by fire. The year 1889 was pro-
life in disasters. Early in the year
the Johnstown flood swept town and
hundreds Of people out Of existence.
In June fire destroyed the business
section OF Seattle and $40, 000,000 went
up in smoke. During the summer the
business part OF Elensburg was wiped
out and on August 4 Spokane's great
conAagration overran the business
center and licked up nearly 100000
worth of property, says the Review
In one sense the disaster added to the
prosperity OF the place. The work Of
rebuilding infused new life into the
city. Fresh capital came in and
sought investment. Modern structures
went up, there was a brisk demand
for labor and almost before the peo.
pie were aware OF it they were in the
midst OF veritable boom. Money
was made rapidly and an era OF reck.
lessness set in. Everything was over.
done and when the panic of 1895
struck the country Spokane was in
poor condition to resist it. IIel
struggles during those hard timcs are
Il part OF history.

the vice Of blasphemy; he is not ord

not quarrelsome; he is respectful to
those who display authority; is docile
and obedient, although he is weak and
remiss in the performance Of his du-
ties; he bears his punishment and be-

The county commissioners, who are
sitting as a board Of equalization,
should profit by the expert noes of
their predecessors and deal with eau
ton with the applications which will
be made by some Of the heavier tax
payers for reduction Of their assess
ments, simply because they think
they are assessed too much. No re.
duction of valuation should be made
by the board OF equalization except
upon good, bona ide evidence that
the assessor has overestimated the
value Of the property. There is no
reason why the railroads should not
pay then just share OF the county
taxes, and no more com promises
should be made, whereby they escape
the payment Of taxes and leave the
poor men to pay them.
