WATER PURTFiEs
ITSELF" is ANOTHER MYTH

Every country boy knows" that run
ming water purifies itself. This law OF
nature" has long been reckoned oy
many persons as one of their most val
liable intellectual possessions. says the
New York Tribune highly efticacious IN
disconfortjng city folks who are wont
to complain of the pollution of streams
by barnyards and other rural centers OF
bacterial life.
Opinion is divided as to the distance
that waters must run in order TO cleanse
themselves; optimists say 200 yards will
suffice. while hypOchondriacs assert that
five miles is the length of the road from
Poison to Purity.
But, at all events, the main tact Is
not shaken by this disagreement. The
widespread belief in the curious phe-
nomenon explains much of the resist
ance offered by intellectual persons 70
the apparently radical reforms urged
by sanitary experts. Villagers ana
farmers convinced of waters self-purg-
ing power often refuse to abstain from
dumping refuse into running streams
which are not tapped for drinking pur-
poses near the point of pollution AND
many city jewellers. filled with the same
faith, strenuously object to paying the
heavy expenses of installing and pro-
tecting the kind of water supply sys-
TEN begged for by timid psychologists.
But alas for this popular law of ma
ture!" The timid bacteriologists have
proved that, at least so far as the dread
typhoid bacillus is concerned, the 'law'
is a myth.
Recent experiments conducted by the
laboratory of hygiene at he University
of Wisconsin indicate that the typhoid
bacillus lives from eight to ten days in
ordinary flowing water. Thus the in
vestigators show that, "if a stream
flows at the rate of half a mile an
hour. and a water supply is pumped
from it twenty miles below the outlet of
sewer, it may be only forty-eight
hours between the act of DELEGATION OF
a typhoid patient and the act of swal-
lowing the still living discharged bacilli
In the town twenty miles away"
The accuracy of the Wisconsin obser-
vations being admitted, the need of in
forming the public of the death of the
beloved myth can scarcely be exag-
gerated A new and powerful argument
is added to the arsenal of those who are
fighting for reform in the disposal of re-
fuse and sewage. Flowing water
does rid itself of many impurities, as
some careful tests show. But if the
deadliest of all the bacilli which It may
contain cannot be so annihilated the
law of nature" is worthless as an ar
gument for pollution.

The home of Thomas O'Day, located
at Bells Corners, near LaRue, was
totally destroyed by fire which broke
out Sunday morning about $3.50

First Accident Of Hunting
Season.
Wounded While In the Field
near Kirkpatrick.
Small Clump Of Bushes Is all That
Prevented a Tragedy Accident
Occurs Monday.

Clyde Houpt of the Houpt Monu-
mental works, East Center street
this city, was accidentally shot and
badly injured by his hunting pard-
ner, Orrin Rowe, of Kirkpatrick about
40 o'clock Monday morning.
Houpt left this city early Monday
morning and went to Kirkpatrick,
where he joined Rowe. The young
men we're hunting in a small thicket
of underbrush located near that
village, when the unfortunate acci-
dent ocurred. A rabbit jumped up
in front of Rowe and he let go a
charge of No. shot in its direc-
Ition. 1t happened that the rabbit
was running directly in front OF
Houpt and as result both Houpt
and the rabbit received the benefit
of the charge.
The rabbit was killed outright but
young Houpt was more fortunate and
escaped with thirty shot holes in his
left limb He was hastily removed
to the home of his pardner and DR.
Baker, of Kirkpatrick, was sum-
moned. 1t took the physician sew
eral hours to extract the small bull
lets. several of them having lodged
deeply in the muscles. The physician
is of the opinion that unless blood.

not result seriously.
