In the greater number OF cases, ty-

Of impure water or milk. Where the
farmer has healthy cows there is no
danger from the latter source, but IL
is surprising how much carelessness
there is in regard to drinking water,

cleaned every fall and only winter
rains allowed to empty into it. Where
there is no filter, lower a sack contain
ing about half a bushel of charcoal into
the cistern and it is well to test the
family drinking water at least once
during the season. as water which is
at one time pure may for some reason
become unfit for use.
A simple test OF drinking water is
to fill pint bottle three-quarters fulA
Dissolve half teaspoonful Of pure
granulated sugar in the water and
cork the bottle. Set it in a warm

Another test is to add five. drops Of

ROADS AND BRIDGES.
Several thousand Dollars
Now Being Judiciously
Expended.

Last winters uncomfortable
and Improbable experience is
bearing fruit just now in the
shape Of improved facilities for

months, ending almos. with hot
weather, when it was practical
.Mimpossible to get to town
With the products of the coun-
Try, which not only resulted in
Inconvenience to all concerned,
but serious loss to the business
interests of the city.
The result has been a gener-
Gus contribution to funds fer
the construction Of several sub
stantial bridges across the two
Cabins, and also for a good deal
cf work upon the roads leading
here. The fund for the latter
purpose it was thought would
beach 5000. AT present the
Centralia road is receiving at
tention, a force of men under
the direction of Ned Shanahan,
~. T. Moore and E. N. Ratcliff
being at work with the grader.
Because of the scarcity Of teams
This work is expensive, but
there seems no help for it. The
foad may be said to be cheap at
any price. The traction engine
which was employed on the ma
chine in the city, seems FOR
some reason not to give such
satisfactory results on the coun-
fry roads, where it is rougher.

DEPENDS UPON CONDITIONS.
Disposition OF American Warships in
Turkish Waters.

Washington, Sept. 3.-The admins
tration has come TO no decision re-
garding the disposition TO be made of
the American warships which are now
sailing to Beirut. Whether the Brook
lyn and San Francisco remain in
Turkish waters will depend entirely
upon the report which Minister Leish-
man makes concerning the situation
in Turkey and the necessity which eX-
lists for warships to protect American
interests. 1t is expected that the re-
port of Minister Leishman will receive
the consideration of the president be-
fore any determination is reached. 1t
is understood that Minister Leishman
complete report will reach Washington
