stances. For drinking purposes, he said.
the Missouri water was superior to the Mis-
sissippi. Water taken below the mouth
OF the Illinois River was found to contain

Of organic matter
BY mathematical calculation It is possible
to tell exactly in what proportion the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri waters. mix after
passing the mouth of the latter stream. At
different seasons Of the year the proportion
diners. Traces OF salt found in water
usually indicate the presence OF sew
age. Professor Keiser stated that salt
found In the Missouri River water was due
to salt beds through which a tributary of
the river passes.
At the request of the city Professor
Keiser and City Chemist Teichman made
