IDAHO


Every great city and many lasge
Downs are confronted with the serious
problem of the sanitary disposition of
sewage. The effect of the waste mat
ter of one settlement in the water-sup-
ply Of its neighbor, not felt in wide,
shinly populated country, grows dan
gerous as communities by their in
crease approach one another. The
problem is complicated by the rapid
increase of knowledge as to the sources
and the distribution OF disease-germs.
Some seaboard cities pump their sew
age far out in the salt water, which
largely absorbs and reconverts the
dangerous matter or precipitates 1t to
the bottom. But some of the waste
poisons sea foods, notably oysters.
Cities on great rivers like the Missis-
sippi, observes Youths Companion.

below. 1t does not always reach those
cities in polluted state, for sunlight
and air kill the germs in flowing wa
ter, and at a certain distance, depend
ing upon the swiftness OF the current
and the consequent extent of the ex-
posture of all parts of the water to
light and air, it is purified Neverthe-
less, the only sure safety lies in the
absolute prohibition of discharge from
sewers into any lakes or streams with
III nartfnnc haxyoxfar IN
sources of water-supply. 1t is wiser
to prevent pollution than to try to
purify polluted water by municipal
filtration plants. Prevention is better
than cure, in the proverbial relative
measure or any other, for prevention
is sure, and publication is not. There
is another side of the question. Sew

Victor Hugo pointed out the riches

country, at a safe distance from
streams and lakes, enriches the soil
and at the same time is exposed to the
purifying effect of the sun. The bar
rem plains about Berlin have been
turned into rich farms by the city
sewage. other European cities have
taken similar measures in the interests
of health and economy.
