Pure Drinking Water.

Scientific men who have given years
of study to sanitary problems assert
that the cemeteries of the world ale
filled with good men and good women
who persisted befol their time because
they neglected to take a few simple
precautions regarding what they ate
and drank. This spring our coweSpon-
dents tell us that there are more than
the usual amount of typhoid fever cases
IN eastern Maine AS most typhoid
cases are developed from drinking i'm
pure water, it should be the duty Of
Our boards of health to examine the
water supply of towns and cities with
the utmost care, so as to avoid danger.
If this is done now, when the course of
streams may be noted and the soil seep-
age can be studied, it may be the means
of saving many lives next summer.
The filth which has accumulated about
the houses and barns during the Win
ter will soon dissolve and flow away.
should these contaminated germs find
their way to wells or to streams which
lead to the water supply of cities, the
harm which they may work among the
communities cannot be measured
The time may come when our people
may not use water for drinking pur-
poses, finding beer OF Rhine wine or
settler cheaper and more palatabe: but
until wa er is abolished from our homes
and our tables, it is our plain duty to
see to it that our drinking water is
pure-as pure as We can get. 1t is
cheaper and far more comfortable and
consoing to buy pure water than it is
to enrich the doctor and the underta-
kers. We shall all die soon enough
without Fastening the process by i'm
billing death with every glass of water
we drink-Bangor Daily News.

1t would naturally be supposed that a
Bangor newspaper man could not dis
cuss this question except us a pure alb
straction, but the News editor does
nothing of the sort His study of the
subject leads him to the conclusion
that until water is finally abolished as a
beverage. it is ones duty to see that the
supply is pure. This statement is a
hopeful sign that sooner or later water
may be favorably considered for drink

PROTECTION AGAINST
BLOOD POISONING

Deaths from blood poisoning ap-
pear to be on the increase. Almost
every day the newspapers record
such fatalities as the outgrowth in
many instances Of simple causes.
Not long ago it was reported that
Mrs. Kate Agnew, q resident of Nor
wood, Pa, was dying from gangrene,
induced by tight shoes. They were
the same size to which she had been
accustomed, but Of different shape.
After wearing them a day or two she
discovered a slight abrasion Of the
skin. The next day her foot was con-
siderably swollen and a few days
later gangrene developed.
Elizabeth K, sixteen-year-old
Philadelphia girl, one day pricked
with her finger nail a pimple she
had discovered on her lip. In a few
days blood poisoning developed and
within short time she was dead.
A farmer living near Norwich, NJ
Y, died recently from blood poison
ing produced by a scratch from his
pet cat, and Anton Wallace, after
suffering untold agony, passed away
in La Crosse, Wis, from the same
cause, but in his case it was brought
on by an liberated tooth
In every household a bottle of some
antiseptic fluid should be kept for
use in such emergencies. If the two
women mentioned had applied hot
water freely to the injured surface
and then applied peroxide of hydro
gen, listerine, solution of carbolic
acid or some other antiseptic, it is
not impossible that they would be
alive to-day. There are gummy prep
arations for sale by druggists to take
the place OF court plaster and which
will not wash off. Such plasters are
excellent to apply to cuts or burns to
protect the injured cuticle against in
lection until the new skin grows.

On the fourth morning the camp
was astir with . new alarm. The M.
tives had surprised the camp with an
attack. There was hurry and con-
fusion on all sides: there had been NO
indication that the natives would at.

Halls heart sank ~ he listened to the
sounds of battle from the plain below.
He stood at the door Of the tent and
his anxiety grew with every moment;
presently the stress Of the situation
drew him down the slope, to point
from which he could watch the move

tent ana over to where the surgeons

Davids intent gaze was upon the
natives as they steadily advanced;
the defense was breaking. losing
ground with every moment. There
was an effort on the part Of the men
to hold together and close around the
hospital tents, but the suddenness Of
the attack made even this movement
uncertain.
Suddenly from the hill road came .
signal Of pistol shots: then Dave
heard the clatter of q horses hoofs
on the bridge above. and Z single
horseman was seen rapidly crossing
the open stretch of road along the
hill slope. The rider disappeared. as
the downward curve Of the road

with the name, and the natives, in
confusion. broke and fell back, scat
tering as they ran.
"Walton!"
David Hall had taken up the cheer,
and he ran up the road to greet the
dashing horseman whose picturesque
heroism had made him famous In the
island warfare.
The horseman came on at a splen-

saw him sway in the saddle. Then.

Dave hastily broke in:
