PURE WATER SUPPLIES.
Difficulty and Embarrassment Caused

Difficulty and Embarrassment Caused
By Using Streams as Sewers.
Pure water supplies for large cities
now seem impossible. The New York
State water supply commission has
about come to the conclusion that in a
short time it will not be possible to Sc
cure sufficient unoccupied land as
watershed to supply New York city, so
that the Hudson river will eventual
ly be used. Attention is therefore be-
ing directed to the criminal stupidity
with which civilized men, here as in
Europe have been destroying their
own water supply by pouring sewage
into it. 1t is the great problem Of all
dense populations. Thought is now
being given to the possibility Of pre-
vention instead Of removal OF contain
nation The general trend OF opinion
IS already IN the direction of corpell-
ing each community to dispose OF its
own sewage instead of passing it on to
the next place down stream.
Nevertheless at the very outset. it is
said. the New York commission en-
counters a remarkable condition of
public Indifference. Many people are
convinced that running water purifies
itself in a few miles, and the rest CO
not care whether it does or not. The
outlook is not encouraging, so that it
is necessary to inaugurate campaign
Of education. The cost will probably
settle the matter Unless the Hudson
River is used, it will be necessary tc
spend $3.50. 100000 to establish sup
ply system in the Catskills, involving
the removal Of many communities and
rendering huge tracts unproductive,
except for timber raising. Perhaps
in time such forestry may be i'm
mensely profitable, if it is not mis-
managed by public officials, and this
is an enormous if The indications
seem to point to a return to nature,
using natural streams for their drink
ink water and not as sewers. This is
such a revolution that we cannot ex-
pect it in this generation The cost of
changing sewer systems already built
may be prohibitive for a generation or
two.-American Medicine.

SEVEN-CENT OIL.
Standard Oil Lobbying Against Law
to Take Tax off Denaturized AL
cOhol.

Washington, D. c., April 3.-Seven-
cent coal oil for Illuminating purposes
is predicted as the result of the pas
sage Of the law taking the tax off de-
naturized alcohol. This causes the
repeated statement, heard at the Capt.
tol more loudly since the bill was ia
voraply reported from the committee
on Ways and Means, that the Stand
ard Oil is lobbying against the bill.
Representative Dalzell, Of Pennsyl-
vania, who is currently reported to IA
vor every and all trusts, opposed the
action Of the committee reporting the
bill with the recommendation that 1t
do pass. So did General Grosvenor.
The rest of the committee voted for
a favorable report.
Several members Of the house said
today that they were receiving letters
from their rural constituents especial
ly, urging them to vote for the bill, be-
cause they believed it would bring
cheap illuminating Oil. The farmers
have got it into their heads also that
the Standard is fighting the bill, and
that appears to have been enough for
them. They are for the bill, and they
are endeavoring to put their members
on the same side.
It is charged that the Standard
has used the temperance people Of the
country in the fight against the bill.
The advocates of temperance claimed
originally that to cheaper alco-
hol would mean that it would
be drunk to a very great
extent by the lowest classes,
with a consequent increase in drunk
enness. But the temperance people
have changed their attitude towards
the bill, and are now willing to see it
enacted into law. Manufacturers, and
scientific people generally, are eager
for the passage Of the bill.
It will require a two-thirds vote to
get the bill up under suspension of the
rules Il remains to be seen whether
that can be done. It is believed the
bill will eventually pass the house, but
that it will be so amended as to pro-
vide that it shall not go into effect un-
til the first Of January, 1907.
It is claimed that the removal Of the
tax from alcohol used in the arts will
work revolution in certain indus
tries. It is also claimed that it will
add ten cents to the price of every
bushel Of corn sold in this country. 1t
s said that corn, after the extraction of
the alcohol is fully as valuable as food
cor stock as before the alcohol was
taken out And the further statement
is made that the alcohol taken from
the pith of corn stalks, and even from
cobs, is as valuable as that derived
from the grain.
It is further claimed that if the tax
is removed from denatured alcohol, it
will entirely supplant gasoline as a
fuel and for use in automobiles, anoth-
er reason why the Standard Trust
should be fighting it.
