The Artesian Water All Right

The few cases of fever occurring
in this city lately are not traceabl'
to the use of city water. We have
taken special pains to get at the
foundation and in cases where the
family used city water the patient
had been away from home the
greater part of the time and took
on fever germs from conditions
elsewhere. Because water retains
the appearance of purity, free
from a sediment or change after
standing twenty -four hours or
more, is no guarantee that said
water is free from disease germs.
The most deadly drinking water
we have met was sparkling and
clear and cool as it came from the
mountain side, and yet a Hateful
epidemic of mountain fever and
typhoid ragged thro the whole
neighborhoOd where this water
was used. A search at the foun-
tain head of the stream disclosed
the decay of fallen leaves which
poisoned the otherwise wholesome
and delectable fluid.
Last summer when there were
so many cases of fever we followed
them up and found that the victim
were people who had used drink
ing water from various places
some residing in the country
others came down with fever
shortly after moving here-tOO
soon in fact to have been affected
by city water. And, today, we
find on positive proof that the few
so afflicted have not used city wa
ter. The two in the Mcintosh
building used well water, and the
city water does not extend to that
house.

A White Life For Two.


any thing which has so outraged
my sense of justice and right, a
the Flanders Divorce Bill publish
ed and commended in one of oul
late city papers. Why is it thai
the husband is given chance to
get divorce if he thinks the wife
has been guilty of immortality be-
fore marriage, unknown to him.
The same chance is not given
the wife. AS the men are making
this law is it not an acknowledge
ment that men as a rule are them
selves so guilty of immortality be-
fore marriage that they cannot
stand this test, as it might give
some pure, honest woman a chance
to rid herself of a beast she had
married supposing him pure
man.
Can there be a greater wrong
done pure woman than to find
she was married to a man who has
lived low, vile life before their
marriages And she has not the
same chance of escape as if the con-
ditions were reversed!
Cannot the advocates of this bill
see that they are giving encourage
ment to the unprincipled young
men to be guilty before marriage
by assuring them Of pure woman
for a wife, no matter if their
thoughts are vile, their eyes
full Of lust, their heart black with
crime, and their bodies diseased.
Are these the kind of young men
our pure girls are to marry and
then must live with them with no
hope of relief from the law?
Justice insists that the woman
who was his partner in guilt be-
fore marriage, should be his part
ner after marriage as his wife, for
has he not made her his cOmpan
ion therefore his equal.
Gle that is without sin among
you, let him first cast stone at
her." John 8, Z.
A law requiring an equally pure
life for both is the only one that
can secure justice and happiness.
1t looks very plain to me that
the author and advocates of this
Flanders bill are not seeking to
make the world any better, but
are only seeking and easier way
for men so be wicked and make in
nocent womanhood suffer the con-
sequenc es of their evil deeds.

TENNIS CRACKS ARE EAGER
Players Are Anxious for Season, Alresd J
Late, to Start.
FINE WORDS FROM KREIGH COLLlN'
Splendid Tribute to Game and Omaha
Tournament IL Paid by Him
in the spRuIdinR
Guide.

Tennis men are becoming anxious for the
fray, the high wind Of the last few weeks
holding back that season. while the golfers
have been at work. The announcement
that the Country club would pay more at
tention to tennis and would build two
new courts was hailed with glee, for il
meant that it would send some real con-
tenders TO the city tournament and also
to the middle west.
Several years back when writer's wrote
that tennis was holding it's own, they
were stretching matters or their magma
ton. But tennis has moved to the front
30 fast during the last three years, even
crowding the great outdoor game OF golf
for honors that none need be afraid of
making the assertion that tennis is on the
boom.
In spaIding's guide. which has Just been
published, appears an interview with Krelgh
Collins which Will be of interest to Omaha
tennis players:
1t is a pleasure 10 be able 20 say that
you are an expert at tennis, even II you
are not a winner in the tournaments.
Women play this game and get strength
and vitality that is better than any tonic
built physique; men play II and put aside
/ the cares OF their business to draw deep
/ from the health-giving springs of ozone
as well as draw dividends from the bank
/ OF satisfaction. The finest week l ever
put In in my life was that spent at the
/ middle west tournament at Omaha, where
i the Chicago delegation had the benefit of
I contact with the most hospitable people we
ever met. The game OF tennis did much for
! the big west and the generous. broad hos
pltality that covered the whole tourney
. was enough to make one proud that he
/ was a follower of tennis. l believe
echoed the sentiments OF all when / told
I the players at the banquet that followed
the tournament that Chicago, next year
would send the biggest delegation in his
/ tory to the Middle West championship Of
! Omaha
] The review in the guide adds:
Special interest attaches to the quality
/ OF tennis played in the Middle West tourna-
Gilman In the dRal round, which earned
him the right to contest against Walter
Hayes in the challenge round. Gilman
played some hard tennis to go through the
/ tourney. but he modestly denied he was
anything OF a player and hunted IN
I vain for a horseshoe TO help him I'm his
match with Hayes. Among those de-
] feated by Gilman were Blatherwick and
( Sanderson, the latter having had the honor
! Of beating Collins. But Gilman is a heady
I player and wins by scientific work.
The Middle West tournament Is a fixture
for Omaha and the Omaha Field club and
I is recognized all over the country as one
Z Of the main events OF the year in tennis
I circles. The matches are played under the
auspices OF the United States Lawn Ten
mis- association and the winner in that
meet may well feel proud OF the honor.

ports from the home, has been going

have no right TO seize fuel belonging

law makes provisions under which

needing the same for the operation Of
trains. He says that unless these sei-
zures stop at once. he will visit the

such measures as win insure the deli
