when 1t must be entirely renewed or

Aniline dyes used in the manufacture
of paper by these mills finds its way

water IS dyed a bright red color.

the Water Commissioners at the regu-
lar meeting yesterday afternoon that
the polluting Of the stream with ami
line IS dangerous 20 the public health
as the stun is poisonous and cannot be
filtered from the water. He said thai
the only remedy would be to take the
matter ino court and obtain an iniunc-

dyes In the stream.
Commissioner shaw said that the
Water Board had no money with which
to fight the case. and he thought that
there were abuses right at home which

$50 you are going camping in the

man, you want TO know how to swim
a horse across a stream. The thing is
easy if you know the way, impossible
If you don't. You first drive in your
horse and start him off. This Is easy
enough. Then you grab his tail and
let him tow you. But now he is apt
to get rambunctious. apt to turn and
make for the shore again. There is
but one way to head him back-but
one way. Splash water in his face,
then he viii turn at once. The most
obstinate horse win turn If you splash
him. Without this splashing trick nine
times out of ten men fail to get their
horses across. New Orleans Times
