THE WATER SUPPLY.
Importance of m Analysis Mt Regu-
Inr Intervals,

Water is the most essential to exist
stomach-indeed the only single thing
he cannot live without-and yet there
is nothing we eat or drink that so fire.
Quently carries in itself the germs of
disease.
There is a definite group of diseases
which, because they are so especially
liable to be spread by means of drink
ing water, are called water borne dis
eases, says Youths Companion. Among
these are such scourges as typhoid fe-
yer, cholera and dysentery. Mineral
poisons are also occasionally dissolved
in water and exert their Injurious eff
fects upon those who drink it. 1t is
obviously, therefore, a matter of the
highest Importance that the drinking
water should be in its purity above re-
proach, but the problem for the ordi-
nary man is how to determine this
point.
The appearance of the water is by
no means conclusive, for it may be
beautifully clear and palatable, yet
contain myriads of deadly bacteria, or
1t may be muddy and of a disagreed
BILE odor and taste and yet contain
nothing of a really harmful nature.
The only way by which absolute GER
tainty can be had lies in a chemical
and meteorological analysis repeated
at regular intervals.
If the neighborhood is thinly settled
and the well is forty or fifty feet from
the nearest house or outbuilding and
on higher ground, one may use the
water for drinking with reasonable
sense of safety. The same is true of
water from a spring which issues from
the ground at a level considerably
above that of the house and barns,
but if water is drawn from wells in a
town or from a well near the house or
outbuilding, or below their level, or
from a spring similarly situated, it is
almost sure to be contaminated occa-
sionally, if not constantly, and so is the
water of a stream except in an abso-
lutely unsettled country.
In such cases, if no other supply is
available, all the water should be boil
ed and, if possible, filtered as well be-
fore being used.

In Paris, the most artistic city in the
world, stress is laid upon handsome de-
signs for street lamps and street signs
This is not matter of cost, but of
good taste. When an artistic design
has been chosen, it costs little more to
make these omnipresent pieces of street
furniture pretty than to make them
bald and ugly. 1t is taste that makes
one shop window attractive and anoth-
er an eyesore 1t is bad taste, coupled
with fragrant disregard for the public,
which disfigures our streets and the
approaches to the city with hideous,
sprawling billboards, which, it is to
be hoped, can soon be remedied by leg
islation

Advertising Mnxims.

The types face is the advertisers
fortune.
The biggest advertisement sometimes
occupies a small space.
1t isn't safe plan to print one ad-
vertisement and then wait to see how
1t works before printing another one.
What Plutarch said of fame can
easily be said of advertising-"Good
fame Is like fire; when you have kin
died it, you may easily preserve it, but
II you once eXtinguish it you will not
easily kipdle it again."

Slight Not the Hills.

written for the Middlebury Register
We sons and daughters of Vermont,
Arise and bless the Lord
For the grand, edifying sights
His bounty doth afford
The hills are His, but built for you,
And in their splendor rise
To lift the soul, expand the mind,
And crafty the eyes.
o slight them not, because they stand
Before you every day;
To make the noblest plentiful
Is the Creators way.
Others, less fortunate, who dwell
In cities or on plains,
Once gaze upon your mountain sides
And the delight remains.
Whether in springtime's verdure clad,
Or summers richer hues,
Or autumn's spangled foliage,
Or when the saps refuse
To yield the juice to make the leaf,
At all times are they grand,
And honor, admiration,
Ave, reverence command.
Because they rise in daily view
From usage slight them never!
Yon hills are "things of beauty" and
Must be "a joy forever"

The matter of caucus reform in Yer
mont is receiving Its perennial pre-caucus
airing at this season, and it is very much
to be feared that it will catch its usual
cold and go into retirement for another
year. 1t is perfectly apparent that such
reform is the greatest need of the
political machinery of this state, where
elections are decided at caucuses and
conventions. Not a voice is heard in
opposition to the movement. What it
seems to lack is Moses to lead it out of
the wilderness of iteration and Teitera-
ton. a caucus-reform candidate ought
to prove a vOte-W inner.

A plank sidewalks - along the bust

The present arbitrary raising of the
price of beef by the trust should prove
an incentive to Vermont farmers to give
more attention to cattle raising. The
hills of this state have long been famous
feeding grounds for live stock, and
that our farmers have not awaited them
selves of the fact to the utmost is to
be regretted, especially at this juncture
