English womsn's Words Of Wisdom

The advice OF an English writer,
Mrs. Creighton, to her sex about good
manners is certainly worth quoting,
and should be borne in mind by all
women travellers. II Is a mistake. as
she says, for women TO scowl at men
when they are dlscourteous; they
would ind II more polite, on the other
hand, TO thank profusely and gracious.

pursued in the home. II sisters and

susceptible creatures would fall into

CESSPOOL METHOD OF
DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE
varying Conditions Which Must S. j.
crumbne. Secretary Kansas State Board Of Health.

Numerous inquiries have been re.
ceived by this department concerning
the cesspool method OF disposal OF
house sewage. The questions involve
the following propositions, viz:
l. Does the uncemented cesspool
menace the purity OF the neighboring
ground-water supply used for domes.

2. II so, how may cesspool be con.
structed so as TO be sanitariiy safe?
3. Should abandoned wells be used
as cesspools?
'. what are the dangers, IL any,
from the open-vault cesspool?
The first proposition must be an.
swered In the negative. Naturally, the
degree OF pollution OF a ground water
supply. depends upon the nature Of the

Intervening stratum of clay or rock
between the drainage of the cesspool
and the water-bearlng stratum, there
might be an impervious barrier to the
sewage reaching the water below such
formation. II must be borne in mind,
however. that the piercing OF such pre-.
sumably impervious stratum in boring
or digging a well, and the constant
possibility Of natural fault or flssure,
subjects such barrier to a doubt, or at
least Indicates the possibility of the
sewage finding its way to the under.
lying water. II seems, therefore, that
the only safe cesspool in community
that uses the underground water as
its source OF supply is the cemented.
water-tight one.
II has been proven that sewage
from cesspools will in time percolate

Mentality Of the Horse,-The mental
attitude of horse should be taken
into consideration when using him for
breeder, and the same should be
said of mares Horses differ greatly
in their mentalities, that is the men
tai attitudes they show towards men
and things, including work. The
balky horse has a mental attitude
that makes him hard to deal with. We
find some horses that are all gentle
ness by nature They seem to wish to
please. On the other hand we find
horses that are ugly by nature and
sulk whenever everything does not go
to please them. This is more than
education. 1t is temperament. There
are horses with 80 much of the desir.
able qualities in their makeup, that It
is difficult to believe that education In
the wrong direction would make them
otherwise. This matter should receive
attention from all breeders.

portion TO the length of time II has
been in use, assuming the sewage to
be constant and similar In character.
The second question is a pertinent
one, In that the cesspool seems to be
a necessity in the towns and cities
that are without a sewage system, for
the modern house requires some sys-
tenn OF sewage disposal. This may be
accomplished by the construction OF
a water-tight cesspool from four to six
feet wide and eight to ten feet deep,
with several drains of perforated tile
near the top and running In different
directions and placed Immediately be-
low the frost line. Such a cesspool
would operate In the nature of sep
tic tank, much Of the organic material
being broken up by anerobic bacterial
action, the liquid portion of the sew
age draining away through a fine sys-
tenn of subirrigation for grass, trees,
etc. and at the same time protecting
the water-bearing stratum from pollu'
ton
Prof. William c. Hoad, the boards
sanitary and civil engineer, has kindly
drawn plans for sanitary residential

The disposal plant shown in the
drawing is planned for an ordinary
residence, and is designed to treat the
LIQUID wastes from the kitchen sink,
bathroom, laundry and all other
waste water coming from the house.
The principle OF publication employed
is that of the septic tank followed by
subsurface irrigation. The sewage
first enters the septic tank, where sus'
pended matter is held until II Is dis
integrated by the intense bacterial
activity In the tank. The clarified
eFiuent then flows out into the dosing
chamber where, by means OF either
the tipping tray or the automatic
siphon depending upon which device
Is used) II is flushed out into the dis
tribution pipes Of the subsurface irri-
cation system. Here the sewage
triekles out through the open joints
of the pipes into the surrounding soil,
where It becomes food material for
