Borax. Natures Disinfecznt, Cleanser and Purifier
Everyone realizes the necessity Of some

Health is question of cleanliness and
prevention.
Most people are familiar with the use OF
disinfectants in cir ordinary sense-a
of which are either unpl asantly associated
with disagreeable odors on which are de-
pended 0 kill the germ of contagion (which
disinfectanis must Of necessity be of . more
or less dangerous chrrac er), and must be
used for this purpose and no other, and in
consequence must be kept from children
and ca eless handl ng.

 impending threat of watS< famine .from our greatest city. When finish ed the Catskill aqueduct will be able
 to carry not only the 250,000,000 gal Ions of water daily which the Ash
 okan reservoir will furnish, but also the additional quantity which it is proposed later on to draw from other
 watersheds from the Catskills. By
 1915, it is calculated, New York will
 be using 710. 100000 gallons of wa
 ter every day and to meet the needs
 of time when even Ashokan will not be able to supply the city's great thirst plans have already been made
 to utilize further the resources of the
 hills when needed, The Ashokan reservoir itself will cover an area of
 S,200 acres, or 12.8 square miles, di-
 Eided by a dyke into two basins. It
 will be twelve miles long. nearly
 three miles wide a its widest point

 the little village of West Hurley, eight miles west of the Hudson river, to it's upper end beyond West Shokan this immense storage basin will bury under it's waters an area of country having at the present time a perma- nent population of about 1900 and a summer population of at least 2,900. Seven villages will be wiped from the map; thirty-two temeteries will be submerged, and 2,400 bodies buried in them will have to be removed to { other resting places.

There is one advantage of the dem- ocratic campaign that will bother the republicans and that is the large number of states that will be fought for as doubtful and will, therefore, require aid from their secret cam- paign fund source. It is quite possi- ble that enormous as this corruption fund will be, it may fall short of satisfying the harpies that lay in wait for it, when it has to be divid- ed into so many portions The panic and continued depression has made even the Wall street interests short of ready cash, and it will need all the promises of future favors that the re- publican managers dare offer to make some feel they can disgorge.

Speaking of the efforts to preserve
 timber, a writer in the Engineering
 Magazine says that a feasible and ef.
 fective method of relieving this sit
 uation is by the chemical treatment
 of timber to protect it against decay.
 A successful treatment of this sort.
 provided the cost be kept within
 economical limits. will not only in
 the long run greatly decrease the
 cost to the consumer, but also will
 tend 10 reduce the annual demand for timber When wood preservation was first introduced in America, the great
 drawbacks to it's extensive adoption were the expense of the treatment and necessary apparatus. and the lack of reliable information regarding the results. Now. however. methods have been devised whereby the treat ment may be carried out on an eco nomical basis; scientific investigation has determined just what kind of treatment is best suited to the differ ent classes of woods and to the differ ent conditions under which they are to be used; and reliable figures have been obtained regarding the actual increase Of life obtained from various treatments. As result, a new and increasing market has been created for many timbers not formerly used: timber consumers are gradually breaking away from their former GUS tom Of adheri1g closely to a few well known kinds of timber. with consequent general disregard Of others becausc of a belief based large ly on tradition or prejuIire. and not on actual disqualifications: and there is an increasing realization that by the use of cheaper woois properly treated with preservatives. as good or better results can be obrainel. to- gether with reduction Of the annual costs. This last item. The saving in dollars and cents is the alI-iuaorrsnt feature in thr future of wood prezer- vatiou A soon as -he customer fully understands that his annual ex- penses can he ao-uaIIy reduced by these methods. 5r is only natural to ronclude that a strong eTort Will be made for their adoption.
