DRINKING WATER.
To Be Of Any Use II Must Be Pure sr
Comparativelv So.

To Be Of Any Use II Must Be Pure Or
Comparatively So.
Water is the universal solvent.
and it preserves this property in
side the human body as well as with
out. It is therefore a useful. in
deed indispensable, substance. But
it must be taken with discretion.
If one drinks a hard water-one
already saturated with salts-it
does little good, for all its energy
must be expended in removing from
the system the mineral matter
which it already holds in solution,
and the animal waste is left where
it was before.
A drinking water to be of any
use must be pure or comparatively
so. Distilled water is the best drink,
but unless it is aerated-s shaken up
so as to absorb ART is fiat and
most unpalatable.
Rain water in the country is dis
titled water and if properly collect
ed and stored is excellent for drink
ing purposes. The first fall should
be allowed to run awav, for it con-
tains the dust and other impurities
in the air and also the bird drop
pings and dirt from the roof or 9TH
er collecting surface.
The cistern in which it is stored
should be protected from the sur
face DRAWINGS and should be tight
ly covered to keep out dust. Water
so kept is greatly preferable to well
water, which is almost never beyond
the possibility Of contamination,
no matter how far it may be from
the barn or the outhouses and no
matter though it may be at higher
level. There are often seams and
cracks in the earth which give free
way to water, and in this way the
surface washings may be carried to
the bottom of deep well a long
way off and on higher level.
Many persons will not trust any
natural supply and drink only bot
tied water, either natural or artif-
cial. But this is not always as safe
as it seems to be. The maker of
the artificial water may not filter it
before charging it with carbonic
acid gas, and then Of course it is no
better than the water Of the town
where it is made.
The natural waters may be pure
and they may not, just as any spring
may be pure or contaminated.
Those who live in cities where tho
water is filtered may safely drink it
if they can be sure the water sup
piled is always that which came
through the filter beds. Those in
charge of public water supplies have
been known to mix unfiltered water
with the filtered or to substitute it
entirely without warning to the
users.-Youth's Companion.

Jan eian Of Fidelity.

s'The Japs are a fine race said
q globe trotter, 'but there's one
thing about them / don't like. The
married women all blacken their
teeth with a paste made out OF
sweet oil and SCOT. When a young
married woman gives you smile,
instead of being ravished with a
glimpse as Of snow on roses-pearly
teeth cleaning between red lips
you look into black hole. You
frown. You turn away in disgust.
The idea is that the married wom-
er's black teeth, making them un-
attractive, keeps them faithful TO
their husbands. Seems to me II
must have the opposite effect on
the husbands. New York Press.

Obituary.

Mrs. ". A. Simpson was born De-
cembcr 10Th, 1866, and entered iuIC
eternal rest Sunday, May 18Th, 1907,
aged forty years and five months. She
Joined the Christian church at Hig.
don's chapel in August, 1886, under
the preaching of and was baptized by
Ed. +. p. Reid She was married lu'
W. A Simpson December 2ith, 1902,
at the home Of her parents, Mr.. aud
Mrs VIM. WhitwUuh Of HlgdOn.
After moving here she took member
ship with the Christian Church at
l.iberlyvilc in July, 1906. One
brother and one sister preceded her in
death She is survived by her hus.
band, her uged father and mother, two
brothers aud three sisters, many rela.
lives and nnumerable friends.
Mrs. Simpsons married life was but
few months, and she was very much
devoted TO her home aud husband,
ready ut any time TO make sacrifices
that her friends might be happier.
Her Influence for good was remark
able, aud we have often heard It said
that no one could know her intimately
without being better for the knowledge.
Her popularity was attested by the
great number of neighbors and friends
OF her giribood home attending her
funeral at Higdon's chapel. The dis
course was preached by Ed. W. IL.
Hale of Piedmont,
She died as she lived, strong in the
belief that God doeth all things for the
best, and left this world for her place
among the angels Her life on earth
was pure and good; her entry into
Heaven must have been triumphant.
How sad il is that she should die;
Well meet her never more,
In all our walks on earth,
As We did in days of yore.
She's sleeping in her narrow home
In vain they tried her life to save
And many flowers soon shalt bloom
Der your darling Preshy grave.
None knew her but to love her,
All spoke of her in praise;
And now her voice with angels blends
In singing heavenly lays.
A dear aged father and mother,
With hair of silvcry white,
Who lovingly watched DER her,
Are left to mourn tonight.
Two brothers and three sisters
Will miss her footsteps there,
With bitter tears they mourn
The loss of one so dear.
All her sufcriugs are DER,
Pain aud death she'll know no more;
In the land among the blest
She rests on our Savior's breast.
Just across that dismal river,
She is waiting for us there;
Soon upon that peaceful shore,
There we'll meet and part no more.
