will supply purified Mississippi River water. These

will be located al the low water shore line or the
river at the upper end of the city. Here the sue

taken from near surface where the turbidlty Is
least will be admitted into this intake. The sue

lively tight about two ounces of per-
manganate and three or four ounces
of formalin would be sufficient for a
very thorough fumigation. If the room
was kept closed for three or four
hours perhaps smaller quantity
would suffice.
"There should always be sufficient
quantity of formalin used to thorough
ly saturate the permanganate, but the
exact proportions Of the two chemicals
may be varied somewhat according to
the quantities used; the larger the
quantities the more formalin may be
used in proportion to the permangan-
ate, because the greater quantity of
heat that will be generated will liber-
ate the formaldehyde gas more rapid
ly, and in greater quantity.
"And in conclusion, if l may be al
lowed to digress little from the sub
ject matter of the paper, would state
that by thorough fumigation with
formaldehyde home may be freed
and kept free from such pests as
moths, etc. And the thought has Of
ten occurred to me that it would be
good sanitary precaution to thorough
ly fumigate any home at least twice
a wear"
