4 WAY TO STOP SIFFERTyG

The hottest July 7th on record-so says rhe
Weather Bureau, and so doubtless most of The
Tribune's readers found it, whether in com
Portable and we'll aired city houses or by the
seashore or in the pleasant country anywhere
But did they happen TO think how it was in
the tenement house districts in New-York in
little. stuffy rooms where families are crowded
together or in burning shadeless, malodorous
streets? If they did, we doubt if many of them
succeeded in picturing to themselves the condi-
tonS as bad as they really are. We hope how
ever, that every one Of them was reminded Of
the way by which the sufferings of the little
children in these surroundings could be abated
and how strength could be given them for A
further struggle. Nobody needs to be told at
this day that The Tribune Fresh Air Fund Is
engaged in that work, and that 1t desires TO
extend it widely as possible Such days as
those Of last week should open generous purse
strings to their widest. for they bring sickness
and death to little people In the purlieus of the
great city, which might be prevented if The
Tribune Fresh Air Fund could extend its benef-
cent activity everywhere it is needed
Our friends will be prepared to believe that
this work has been carefully planned and zeal
ously begun. The hot weat ther Is only spur TO
renewed efforts. Already have sent 1912
children to the country to babble O. green
fields and we have arranged for fifteen parties
numbering 781 children to go this week But
to send them costs money, and for money we
look to the good people who have so generously
responded to appeals in the past and to the
many new friends whom each succeeding sum
mer of our work has always brought us. We
ask it with the fullest confidence that the in
vestment will be found satisfactory In fact
few opportunities offered in which the re-
turns are so large or so speedy. Every dollar
put into The Tribune Fresh Air Fund goes
straight to the beneficiaries and does its work
in the most economical manner possible. There
are no expenses of administration, and because
we deal in wholesale methods we get the big
gest possible return in the cheapest railroad
fares, which big hearted corporations make for
us. We get free abundant entertainment for
our little charges, whom place In care
of kindly hosts and hOstesses in a great many
country places within easy reach of New York
The Tribune Fresh Air Fund can put in its
finest work in the hottest weather These are
the days when it can do the most good and
these are the days when every dollar given
counts double in IT'S benefits

them as exponents of its principles, may as
well put the antitrust plank in the lumber

The Tribune has maintained before, and reiter-
ates the statement, that the American athlete,
with the conditions even, is the peer of them all
When the little band of Americans were sent
abroad some time ago there were many of the
experts who thought that the athletes would not
have time to become aCClimated before compet-
ing in the international championships in Paris
But when the announcement was made that
some of the American athletes would stop over
in London and try for the English champion
ships before reaching Paris, and almost before
they could get rid of their "sea legs the critics
shook their heads and said that such proceed
ing was foolhardy. The results just received
from London do not indicate anything of the
sort In the English championships at Stam-
ford Bridge yesterday the Americans captured
eight of the eleven contests in which they took
part They met the pick of the athletic talent
from England. Scotland, Ireland, Australia and
under conditions at times which do not prevail
in this country. 1t was remarkable perform
ance and every true hearted American must
feel proud of such achievements. If the boys do
as well at Paris they will meet with royal
reception on their return to home fields.

ton to its patriotic acclamations.

THE WATER INSPECTION.
There Are % Towns in North Carolina That
Now Have Waterworks.

Col. A. w. Shaffer. of the State Board
of Health. is engaged in collecting
samples of water from the different
portions of the State to be analysed by
the State Chemist. He has about com
pleted the work and is III Raleigh.
He says the supply in h east j. de
ficient. and hat the water is inferior
to that in the western and central pOr-
tons of the State. but that the deep
we'll is the solution of the water sup
ply problem in the east.
Statistics show that where an arte-
sian or deep we'll water is used, there
is ALWAYS a marked decrease in mala-
rial sickness.
Col. Shaffer says there are 23 towns
in North Carolina that have water
works. 3
The finest water is that from the ar
tesian we'll at Monroe; it contains both
sulphur and lithia.
At Wilmington the attempt to have
a deep we'll seems to be a failure. The
well is now 1000 feet deep and the
water is almost as salt as when they
first struck the brine.
Every two years the State takes q
specimen Of water from the supply OF
Zach city in the State and has it an
alvzed; the waterworks company are
| required to have an analysis made
every three months.
