THE BELDINC BANNER
BELDING = MICHIGAN


Every great city and many large
towns 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 neighbour. not felt in wide,
thinly 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

dangerous matter or precipitates II 10
the bottom. But some OF the waste
posons sea foods, notably oysters.
Cities on great rivers like the Missis-
sippi, observes Youths Companion,
send down polluted water TO the citles
below. Ii 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

less, the only sure safety lies in the
absolute prohibition of discharge from
sewers into any lakes or streams with
water connections. however remote, to
sources OF water-supply 1t is wiser
to prevent pollution than 10 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
age is valuable fertilizer. Long ago
Victor Hugo pointed out the riches
that the sewers Of Paris were throwing
away. The discharge from a great
city, properly treated, made into desi-
Gated fertilizer or pumped through ir-
rigation bitches into the surrounding
country, at 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

turned into rich farms by the city

taken similar measures in the interests
of health and economy.

DIETARY DICTA.

Dinner should be of a lighter nature
in summer than in winter.
A quart Of wheat contains more nu-
triment than a bushel Of cucumbers.
There is a happy mean between eat
ing everything and being squeamish.
Two pounds Of potatoes contain as
much nutriment as l3 pounds OF
turnips
y .Light soups, light desserts and light
meals should have the preference in
warm weather,
Vegetables and fruits are TO be used
most generously at that season Of the
year in which they naturally mature.
Beginning the dinner with soup is
the very best way to get the whole
system in condition for assimilatip8

CONCERNING CLOCKS.

Never allow The clock TO run down.
It responds 10 regular attention just
as surely as human being does ana
keeps its course truly when made TO
follow its endless routine.
The hands Of a clock should always
be turned forward To set the hands
by reversing the right-hand motion is
to loosen delicate screws that hold
them within reach OF various cog
slips.
Never allow the clock to be moved
from the position where IL Is we'll bal
anced. A deviation Of two or three
minutes day from the correct time
may be the result OF an uneven
placing OF the clock, and once II IL
properly adjusted it should not bee
shifted for busting or for artistic pur-
poses. This is especially true OF
clocks that have a pedulum.
