SAYS 1T is GENERAL.
Elk. State Chemist Floyd Davis Visits
the City Friday.


State Chemist Floyd Davis, of
Des Moines. who has been engaged to
make one of the analyses of the city
water. with a view of obtaining definite
information whether or not the water is
responsible for the prevailing illness
with fever. spent Friday in the city.
Mr.. Davis expects to have his ANALYSIS
completed by the middle of next
week
Mr.. Davis says that fever epidemics
are prevalent turnout the entire coun-
try at the present time. He has his IN
formation from Chicago press clip
ping bureau. to which he is a sub
scriber. The work with water analyses
has been one in which Mr.. Davis has
specialized for years. and he is con-
tinually kept posted on conditions thru
out the country. He says that Mar
Ishalltown is no worse off, as far as sick
ness is concerned, than many other
places Many smaller towns have even
worse conditions to meet, and have
more cases, compared to population
Mr. Davis says that few years ago,
when he made an analysis of the city
water Marshalltown had as fine a sup
ply as any city could want. There was
nothing Objectionable in it, excepting
the trace of iron, and that was not OBJ
jectionable as far as health was con-
cerned He thinks thHt If the water
has been contaminated it has been thru
some leak, which has allowed surface
drainage to enter. That will be deter
mined, however, in another week.
DR. Haines of Chicago, who is one OF
the best known psychologists in the
country, will also make an examination
of the water. The council thinks that
as long as the purity Of the water has
been questioned it is we'll to find out,
beyond the shadow of a doubt, whether
or not the water is impure. Consequent
ly it will not take the opinion of any
one man on it. but rather that of two,
both of whom stand high in their pro-
fession.
Mr.. Davis is confident that If Mr..
Haines makes his analysis from sam
pies obtained from the same places his
analysis will agree with the one he
makes.

The Family Doctors Opinion.
A physician in Topeka, kas., attrib-
uted case of blood poisoning recently

which had been left III Il shallow pool
by the falling water of the Shunganun-
ga river. 1t was found by young son
of Mrs. N. Barnett, CT ia Hancock
street, Topeka, who CAPTURED and car
ried it home after a struggle. Some Of
the wounds it's spines had made Were
30 severe that the mother poulticed
them. Soon one of the lads fingers
began to swell and became very pain
full. A physician dressed 1t, but the
poison remained in the blood and the
boy soon began to break out with boils
on his face and neck.
"He suffered great DEAL said his
mother in telling the story. His stom-

there were running sores on his lips,

II didn't wait to see. My mother-in-

LOCAL COMMENT.
Observation-Disclosures

The one subject that is engrossing
the attention of Marshalltown people
at the present time is the prevalence
of illness in the shape of fever that
has found numerous victims, old and
young like, in all parts Of the city.
Marshalltown is not the only city that
is having the same experience at the
present time, but for MarshalltoWn
this is the only place where the cause
must be looked after and remedied.
Naturally many of the physicians think
that impurities in the city water sup
ply are responsible for the illness, but
there are others who do not hold the
same opinion, and think that climatic
changes and CONDITIONS are responsible.
To meet the condition as it is found to
exist and to determine whether or not
it is the water. the city council has
wisely ordered analyses made. II the
water is impure everyone wants to
know it, and If it is not there will be
q great deal of satisfaction in being
sure Until this is known, the only way
to do, as precautionary measure, and
10 be on the safe side, In case of doubt,
is to boil drinking water. 1t can do
no harm, and may prove to be an I'M
necessary precaution, and yet the pre-
caution is worth the taking.
While there is a great deal of sick
ness, and the cases resemble one an
other in many particulars, all are not
alike, and may not result from the
same cause. Some physicians have
suggested that the flushing of the mains
r., tri1 AtJfe
a focus of typhoid fever germs thruout
the general water system. Whether
this is true or not it will now be hard
to tell, as the distribution has been
made and the damage done. The river
water was rot turned into the pipes
and statements from the engineer and
superintendent of mains are to the ef-
feet that not a particle of river water
has been in the pipes for eleven months
to their knowledge. There is another
thing against the theory that the
flushing was responsible, and that Is
that had the river water been out of the
pipes for so long time, the germs left
in the sediment would not have been OF
character to do damage, as the bacil-
lus causing typhoid does not live over
100 days.
In favor of theory that the climatic
conditions have more to do with the
sickness than anything else the situa-
ton in other places is quoted. Fevers
seem to be epidemic almost everywhere,
and are not confined to any one local.
