Rotten Water
Being Used
Dead Vermin Abound in the
Storage Tanks Above
Town.

Considerable comment is heard
about town in relation to the
condition of the water tanks.
The condition as portrayed is
certainly deserving of criticism,
and steps should be taken at
once to eradicate them. 1t is
stated on good authority that the
upper tank contains about sixteen
inches of water and the lower
one seventeen inches, and that
the sanitary condition is disgust
ing. Think of it, dear people,
you have been drinking water
which passes through tanks in
which numbers of dead vermir
abound. The decayed flesh an6
bones of rats are found there
Are we to tolerate this? If We
do, what is to become of the
health conditions of the town
People here are charged from
three to four dollars per month
for what water they use in tht
families, and the business house
greater in proportion. We ar
at least entitled to have thi
water as pure as care will pei
nit. We are not surprised a
the condition when the rotte
tanks being used are considered
1t is time that some action i
the installation of new tanks an
pipes be taken. We learn Q

that some action be taken, or
there will be a great amount of

killed his father.
Monstrous!
But wait
Behind the bald facts Of the shoot.
ing are some things that throw a DIFF
ferent light on the dark shadows Of
the pitiful tragedy.
The plans for the defense in the
trial Of the young man show some
hideous disclosures in the early years
Of Hargis' life.
When he was but child his father
often made him drunk with whisky.
He did so for his diversion. laughing
at the maudlin antics of the boy. Not
content to be entertained alone by his
child's debauchery. he invited In the
neighbors to enjoy the vaudeville.
Is 1t any wonder the boy grew up a
drunkard?
Or that. seduced by his father from
decency. he should be without natural
affection?
| At the early age Of fourteen Beach
Hargis was besOtted young savage.
His prime ambition was to shoot some
enemy from behind hedge or engage
In the feud wars Of the countryside.
From infancy Hargis taught his son
the expert use OF firearms. thus point
ing gun at his own breast.
Later, says the boy. his father de
veloped a strong hatred toward him
Time and again. without excuse. he
beat the boy into insensibility.
Put yourself in the place Of the son
with his rearing and surroundings.
He was little more than a young AMI
NAL. without conscience or mercy OF
regard for human life. Debauched and
coarsened by drink he had no feeling
Of flial affection. His father seemed
his worst enemy. There was drunk
en- quarrel Hargis swore he would
Kill the boy this time. What more
natural than that the ruffianly youth
should shoot to kill?
The father had fashioned the tool OF
his own destruction.
And TIE Roy WAS WHAT HIS
FATHER MADE HIM.

Cigarettes-crime.
The one is the accomplice Of the

New York's headquarters detective bu-
reau.
Fully So per cent Of the people we
arrest" he says, 'are cigarette fends
I've noticed this for years. 1t is SO
now that we expect to find nicotine
stains upon the fingers of every one

nection between crime and cigarettes"
Crime-cigarettes.
Harry Thaw, the degenerate who
shot Stanford White. is confirmed
cigarette smoker.
Thaw sat at a table on Madison
Square Garden just before the muir

His nervous system Is wrecked by

Captain Hams. who shot Annis few
weeks ago, has for years been slave
to cigarette smoking. In describing
the man. following his arrest, a report

The statements of the close connec
