DISPOSING OF CITYS SEWAGE

To the Editor of The Call:
/ notice that there is good deal of
discussion as to the best mode of dis
posing of the San Francisco sewage.
Surely the city will find better
method than dumping it any longer
into the bay or ocean. That method
has been the curse of most European
cities. You go to-day to the large
commercial cities in England or Scot
land which have been in the habit of
emptying their sewage into the ocean
near their harbors and you will find
the atmosphere tainted for miles
around with the horrid odor. That can
all be avoided in very simple way in
the following manner:
Go over to that stretch of sand dunes
south of Golden Gate Park and ex-
cavate several settling tanks. These
should be securely concreted, so as to
make them water-tight. Then pow
erful pumping plant could be estab-
lished at some convenient point in the
city where all the sewage should be
concentrated. Between the pumping
plant and the settling tanks the sew
age should be brought in contact with
settling and purifying agents, which
can be done very cheapiy, and then
each day put the contents into one OF
the settling tanks so that the matter
The San Francisco call., 1905-05-10

would settle to the bottom. The puri-
fed water could then be drawn off one
of the tanks each day, pure enough al
most to be used for domestic purposes.
Or as substitute, make a leading sew
age conduit to convey the sewage
south to some of the low lands of San
Francisco Bay. and there construct
deep settling tanks as described. Old
miners who have mined in dry mining
districts know the virtues of crushed
cactus leaves in settling and purifying
muddy water holes so that the same
can be made drinkable in short time.
would carry out that idea in set
tling the sewage of San Francisco.
Eight or ten carloads of cactus would
settle the entire sewage of San Fran
cisco for a whole year.
The best feature of this system is
that it would bring big revenue to-
the city each year after the sewage
plant is established from the fertiliz-
ing products of the same. The nutri-
tive qualities of the soil of California
have been more or less exhausted by
continual cropping for quarter of a
century and more without returning
anything to 1T, so that the time has
come that the State needs just such
fertilizers as would be derived from the
products of San Francisco sewage.

LOVE ON HOMEOPATHIC PLAN
Small Doses Regular Intervals and Lots OF

BY DOROTHY FENIMORE.

| n love affairs that which is strictly
practical is often superfuous. and
what is superfuous is eminently
practical. if results furnish the real
measure of the value of method.
The lover who counts up the cost
OF his courtship and gives his sweet
heart only such presents as will be
useful in housekeeping deserves to
lose on his investment. In love 1t Is
sometimes wiser to speculate on mar
gins than to put ones money in gilt
edged securities guaranteed to pay so
much interest year.
Take lesson from Sir Walter Ra-
leigh, most gallant of devoted gentle
men, where his queen was concerned.
When he spread his cloak at Eliza
beth's feet he did service which,
done for another woman, would have
been ridiculously superfuous, but

the cause which inspired it, wholly

to the girl whom he is counting than
by little extra attentions which, never
offered, would never have been
missed; by unexpected tokens of re-
gard that are calculated to touch her
heart and to please her vanity at
single diplomatic stroke.
And there is no better way than
this for him to plead his cause with
her and predispose her in his favor in
those moments when her butterfly
fancy-not yet caught, chloroformed
and classified-seeks to wander from
his garden patch to that of somebody
else that looks mighty nice from dis
tance. Why, it's better than having
your sister her intimate friend, or
than being yourself a chum of her
brother; for it isn't any more expen-
sive in the long run and it is a great
deal safer.
