SEPTIC TANK EXPERIMENTS.
VIII Not at Once BE Compulsory In
Washington.

DIR. Phillip Frank, a member of the
state board of health, returned Mon
day from Seattle, where he had been
for few days attending a session of
the board. He says to Yakima re-
porter that it was decided by the
board, that owing to the great cost
Of putting in the septic sewage tanks
the cities will not be burdened at
present. He says they will be per-
mitted to continue the running of
sewage into the streams of the state
until some of the experiments of the
board now under way will demons
trate the practicability of the septic
scheme.
The board discussed many other
matters pertaining to sanitary condi-
tions in the state. Among the most
important questions was that of per-
mitting the Milwaukee railroad to
build its line on Cedar river from
which Seattle draws its water sup
ply. 1t was finally decided to send
the state engineer to the scene. 1t
has been agreed between the Milwau-
kee people and the state health board
that the matter of sanitation be left
to the latter. This is the easiest way
to settle the troubles ha have grown
ou of the opposition to the city of
Seattle to the road building its line
into the valley.

location. distribution and idiosyncra-
cies OF the water supply.
Spring water is naturally more priz-
ed by the inhabitants of those desert
solitudes than that from living
streams. because 1t Is always drlnka-
BILE ana always at hand, while the
water courses, which for the greater
part of the year are sinuous reaches
OF dry sand, furnish at flood a
quickly disappearing supply OF thin
ned mud which will not be touched
by man or beast except in the dis
tress of thirst.
One is not surprised. therefore, that
primitive people will regard these
springs as sacred; in fact. the Indians
of the southwest are not peculiar In
the worship of springs. The senti-
ment is world wide. has had a vast
range of time, perpetuates itself IN
the folklore OF the highest civilizations
and presents in its manifestations n
most interesting body of myth and
fancy.
But in the southwest the arid envi-
ronment has so intensified this feat
ure of primitive culture that no spring
in the region is without evidence of
many offerings to the deities of
water.
1t is small wonder then that the
Pueblo Indians came to regard springs
with special veneration, that they
wove around them myth and tradition
and made them objects of religious
worship. To one acquainted with the
environment and its radical needs this
seems to have been q natural, even
though unconscious, generalization
Perhaps offerings to springs will not
admit Of such simple explanation.
Perhaps the mystery of the under
ground source of water yelling up
from unknown depths, impresses al
ways even to the observer who be-
lieves himself free from the trammels
of superstition, has also had a power
full effect on the mind OF the Indian
leading, like many other natural phe-
nomena. to an attitude of worship OF
unseen powers behind these masks.

For Dosing oneself.

A physician recommends rochelle
salts for amateur doctoring. He says
that 1t is an excellent thing, several
times day, to take as much Of the salts
as may be put on cent in a little wa
ter. That will sweeten the stomach
and act as a very desirable spring
medicine. He also speaks highly of
soda, having no patience with those
timid people who have an idea that 1t
is a dangerous dose, doing some vague
harm to the coating of the intestines.
"Why, everything we eat, almost, has
soda In it." he cried in dsdain. ut is
an admirable thing to take half ro-
chelle salts and half bicarbonate of
soda, as directed, several times a day
/ know of few gentler and still more
beneficent general medicines"

Conee-Tea.

Coffee-tea is the common beverage
Of the natives of Java and Sumatra.
When required for infusion the coffee
leaves are gathered fresh from the
trees and are dried In pan over q
slow fire until they are light brown.
They are then put into teapot, boiling
water is poured over them, and the in
fusion Is drunk with milk and sugar.
1t seems the general opinion that cof-
fee should come in contact with metal
as little as possible. The Viennese peo-
Pile prefer glass bottle to canister
for storing, and Brazilians use earth
enware in preference to metal pot
for making.

INDIANS WORSHIP SPRINGS.
Water Source I'm Arid Regions Held
Sacred by AborIginies.

Springs are rarely found in the
southwestern part of the United
States, and for this reason they have
been from ancient times priced as a
most valued possession.
The people who dwelt in this re-
gion, says Walter Hough, in Records
of the Past" saw in these sources of
giving water the founts of con-
tinuance and well being, and near
them they located their pueblos.
Save air. no elements of nature are
nearer to human life than those COM
bined in the primitive fluid which
must always be within reach Of men
