COPPER FILTER TOO COSTLY.
New Process to Be Tested by Asrioul-
tural Department.

Pittsburg, Sept. City Bacteriolo-
gist E. G. Matson does not believe the
new process of treating water with a
solution of copper to rid 1t Of typhoid
lever germs will ever achieve much
success. The new theory is now about
TO be tested by the department of ag-
riculture at Washington, D. c., as
there is typhoid fever epidemic there
now.
DR.. Matson is of the opinion the
process is too costly and will not prove
effective. The process was discov-
cred by Dr. George T. Moore, physiolo-
gist in the laboratory of the plant OF
physiology at Washington, and it is
bald it was tested in Baltimore,
Springfield, Mass; indianapolis and
Butte, Mont, recently, but with what
success Is not known.
DR.. Watson said sand filtration is
the cheapest and most practical pro
cess Of filtering water To use the
copper solution in this city would
cost $1,000 day for the copper. This
does not include the expense Of ship
ping and treatment. Several million
gallons of water are pumped into the
Highland reservoir every day. 1t
would require 1000 pounds Of copper
each day to purify the water
DR.. Watson said there was no doubt
the copper solution would kill vegeta-
tion and other growths in the water,
but whether If would dispose Of ty-
phoid fever germs is another matter.

A wound in the purse is not mortal.
Don't growl-that's the brutes busi-

Those we think are weakest are Of
ten stronger than US all.
Every man has at times in his mind
the ideal of what lie should be, but is
not.
Don't misludge the man with a quick
temper-they are the best hearts in
ChristendOm.
Rather prefer to provoke n smile
than TO provoke man. There is no
harm done by provoking a smile.
Don't try TO escape the battle Of life,
Life is not life without conflict, and
death is not death without victory.
And the battle-ground is the man, and
the victory is the soul. Schoolmaster
