1t is conceded by all medi-

nothing more conductive to bad
health than stagnant or foul
water. 1t is well known by
every one that water which
stands in Il cistern for months
without being stirred be
comes offensive to the
nostrils and taste, and if there
is any thing in accepted theories
it causes fevers and bowel
troubles What are we driving
at! This, the wd ter in the

foul, foul to the nostrils and
taste. UNFIT for drinking pur.
poses and in 4 short time there
will be 800 or more thirsty
children OF the school grounds.
What is TO be done about it?
There are two ways to over,
come existing conditions. One
is to drill a well for living wat
er, the other is, attach large
bellows to a garden hose long
enough to go two thirds of the
depth of the water and force
air for four or six hours through
the water thereby purifying it..
There is no time to waste and
the conditions call for action.

Objects of the Party
David b. Hill thus correctly
defines the purpose and spirit
of the democracy: 1t respects
the vested rights of capital, and
at the same time sympathizes
with labor oppressed. 1t has
no alliance with corporate in
terests; neither is it in league
with demagogueS who disturb
society and agitate for the mere
sake of agitation. 1t does not
regard the possession Of wealth
as crime, nor even as badge
of honor; no: does it consider
poverty as either a disgrace or
virtue, 1t makes no war upon
classes, but opposes corrupt
and vicious systems wher-
ever they are found. Nashville
