cesspools. 1t is the lowest point in
its vicinity into which liquids drain.
Frequently privy is located within a
stones throw of an open well. When
the water table rises to the surface of
the ground. as it always does during
the winter in Western Oregon, all sur.
face water is contaminated, and, as the
water level lowers, the open wells be-
come reservoirs for the drainage.
The ordinary stone or brick wall of
an open well only serves the purpose
of preventing the caving in of the
earth and in no sense acts as filter.
We have received samples Of water
from open wells, situated near barn
yards or dwellings, which were loaded
with organisms that are instrumental
in decomposing manure. The samples
gave strong reactions of ammonia by
chemical analysis and were even tinted
with the color Of liquid manure. One
particular sample was thus polluted
from flower bed near the house, the
flower bed having been heavily ma
nured.
In localities where water is piped in
to the house and there is no sewer, the
toilets should be connected with prop
erly constructed septic tank and the
effiuent should be piped long distance
from the we'll and empty on the surface
of the ground, where sun and air may
still further purify it. If an open clos
ct must be used, concrete vault, well
cemented, should be constructed, in
stead of mere hole in the ground, and
lime frequently thrown into it to pre-
vent the breeding of flies. Earth clos
cts have been very successful and con-
sist of galvanized iron trays or tubs
that may be emptied away from the
premises; dry earth or ashes should be
used in connection with them to absorb
moisture and suppress odor.
1t is well known that flies breed in
human and animal manure; for exam
pie, the deposits of human excreta are
often seen to be a crawling mass OF
maggots, these are the larvae hatchec

age is Great.

Kansas City, May ia series o.
tornadoes in Kansas, Missouri ant
Oklahoma late yesterday killed at least
five persons, injured So, laid waste one
town, wrecked a train and did great
damage to property.
twenty-five persons were injured by
a storm that swept over Mount Wash.
lngton and Fairmont park, suburbs Of
Kansas City. At least two of these
are thought to be fatally injured.
The town of Hollis, Kan. near Con.
cordia, was swept away. Here three
were killed and 10 injured.
Near Great Bend tornado killed
two and injured 20.
All wires are down in that vicinity.
and it is feared the death list NAV be
greater.
William Ackerly, a Santa Fe engi-
neer, and Frank Nicholson, a conduc-
tor, were killed while with a bridge
gang between Great Bend and Kinsley.
The tornado wrecked the work train
of which Ackerly was engineer, and
blew it into ditch. Several members
of the crew were blown 100 feet. The
piledriver toppled over, crushing Ack-
erly to death in his cab, where he re-
mained with his hand upon the throttle.
At Hoisington, Kan, a tornado in
jured a number and greatly damaged
farm property. 1t was not 80 severe,
however, as that passing over other
portions of the state.
At Pond creek, Okla, a severe wind
storm slightly injured four persons and
unroofed several houses.
A binding rain and hailstorm accom-
panied the wind in all states. Many
washouts demoralized railroad traffic.
The Missouri Pacific main line was
washed out near Walcott, between
Leavenworth and Kansas City. The
Burlington and Santa Fe were forced
to annul some of their trains Elec-
trical disturbances crippled telegraph
and telephone wires, and on this ac-
count only meager reports from the
storm-swept area could be obtained.
A heavy wind, accompanied by rain
and hail, prevailed throughout Kansas
City. Much minor damage was done,
and traffic of all kinds seriously inter-
fered with.

Over 100000 Acres for Settle
ment in Reservations.
Missoula, Mont, May 15.-Under a
Washington date line, the Missoulian
this morning prints the following:
At a conference held today by Off
cials of the general land Office, the fol-
lowing tentative scheme was decided
upon for the registration and opening
of the Flathead reservation, in Mon
tana, Occur d'Alene in Idaho, and the
Colville in Washington. The Flathead
reservation contains about 1,200,O 900
acres, the Occur d'Alene about 400, 900
and the Colville about 100000. All
three reservations will be ready for
opening this summer, and all three of
them will be opened at the same time.
Registration points will only be estab-
lished at towns where there is United
States land office, and all registration
points will be for all three of the reser-
vations. The registration points will
be Missoula, Kalispell, Occur d'Alene
and Spokane.
The registration period will probably
begin July 10 and end on August 15,
thus giving five weeks opportunity for
all persons to 60 to one of the places
above designated to register. At the
close of registration, August Is, the
drawing for numbers will take plcae
for all three of the reservations at
Coeur d'Alene City. The drawing is
an unimportant item in the general
plan and will ocupy only one or two

ers in the Longfellow school here, were
arrested yesterday charged with hav-
ing beaten 9-year-old David Kaplan

UNSANITARY CONDITIONS.
Water Supply in Many Cases Found
Unnecessarily Polluted.

unnecessarily FoHuteo.
E. F. Pernot. Oregon Agricultural College.
Corvallis.
The condition in which I find water
received from various parts Of the state
warrants my calling the attention Of
the public to the unsanitary conditions
which must exist surrounding their
water supply. Some samples of water
taken in storile bottles under asceptic
precautions, contain as high as 1850
germs per cubic centimeter Ia teaspoon
holds about five cubic centimeters OF
water and an ordinary drinking glass
about 225 cubic centimeters). A glass
full of such water would therefore con-
tain Ia, 305, 500 living germs. While
it is true that many varieties of these
germs are not directly disease produc-
ing, the continued introduction of such
large quantities Of them into the sys-
tenn lowers vitality and increases sus-
ceptibility to the disease producing
types when they gain access to the
body. Water containing so many or
ganisms carries also, in solution, the
ptomaines from the putrefaction of the
organic matter in which they grew.
These large number of organisms gen.
orally find their way into open wells by
surface drainage and where they can
pass, 80 may the disease producing
types pass also.
The waters from driven wells are
comparatively free from organisms.
An open we'll is an abomination and is
not in keeping with our present under.
standing of the laws of sanitation.
The question arises, how can we bet.
ter our condition. Where a we'll is the
only means of obtaining water, let il
be dug to the water bearing stratum,
wall it up with brick laid in cement
for ten feet, arch it over with the
pump pipe and arch well cemented in,
fill the remainder of the hole, which
may be Is to 20 feet, with clay vel
tramped down and the result will be 6
bottomless brick jug, deep under
ground, into which no surface water
worms nor animals can penetrate. The
water from such well is as pure al
can be obtained from the locality ir
which it is situated.
There are many families living ir
the country who should enjoy the best
of health, but who are always ailing
The cause of i'll health may, as rule,
be traced to their use of polluted water
produced by the unsanitary condition
of their surroundings. But few homes
have proper drainage from sinks anc
baths, dish water is thrown out of ths
pack door on the ground near the well
garbage is similarly disposed of to de
compose and drain into the we'll. Wasl
water containing filth that would no
be tolerated on the clothing is alst
emptied on the ground to drain int
the well. Most of the open wells stu
sted near the house or barn are but

Divorce Records Broken.

San Francisco, May 14.-Seven di-
vorces in 28 minutes-just four min
utes to decree-was the new record
established today in the speedy dissolu-
tion of the marriage bond by Superior
Judge George H. Cabaniss. The judge
was in hurry and took the examina-
tion of the seven plaintiffs and seven
corroborating witnesses out of the
hands of the attorneys. The quickness
with which questions and answers came
made the court gasp.

from the ef 60 deposited by flies, from
this they pass into the pupa stage and
again emerge as flies with the return
of warm weather. These flies enter
our dwellings, walk upon our food and
directly transmit the organisms from
excreta to our food. Contamination
does not cease at that, for we have
definitely proven that the organisms
which the flies take into their bodies
from the excreta are not destroyed by
their digestion, and passing from their
bodies with the excreta the germs util-
ize this excreta for food and multiply.
Therefore fly speck containing fifty
germs will increase its numbers fifty
fold.
II perchance the organism happens
to be the typhoid bacillus, a fly speck
upon an apple, or other food, will
eventually contain thousands Of germs.
This we have conclusively demon
strated by Matching flies In sterile
box, then feeding them with bread or
sugar saturated with cultures of the
typhoid bacilli, then allowing them to
excrete upon apples, cabbage leaves,
other material that gives off moisture.
The fly speck, after some time, as
sumes the form of colony and il
found to be loaded with living typhoid
bacilli, showing that they had passed
through the fly uninjured and had null
tiplied abundantly in the fiy's deposit.
1t Is well known that milk ID an
ideal food for typhoid bacilli, and for
that reason should be well guarded
from the invasion of flies. Keep flies
out of the house, especially that part
where food is kept.

TALMUDIST TRUE REFORMER

Talmudists, and true reforms is
contained in the Talmud. The
Korites of ancient times and re-
formers of today are represen-
ting the negative of this true
spirit of reform which prevails
throughout the Talmud.
The assertions of the Korites
were that we must cling to
everything that is written in the
five books of Moses and no moreg
The assertion of our present re-
| formers are that Jews are a mere
religious sect. The results we
have seen. The Korites remain
small, separated, and are con-
tinually diminishing, and our
present will eventually be candi-
dates for the church. The only
ones who are able to thrive and
to prosper in their religious en-
deavors are those who are fol-
lowing in the wake of the
Talmudists, who were ready to
reform Judaism but always bear
ing in mind that the center, the
heart, is nationalism and what
ever was done by them was done
with the view of keeping up
Jewish nationality.
Many are still questioning the
reason that compelled Or. M. B.
M Rabbi Moses Maimonides to
write the ''Moreh Nevochim" a
we'll known philosophical book
for Jews and in the Arabic Ian
guage and with such liberal
ideas. That the (Moreh Nevoc-
him) was written only for Jews
shows the fact that r. M. B. M.
wrote the Arabic in Jewish let
tiers and begged that this be not
written in Arabic letters for the
reason that he did want the
Arabs to make use of it. He
wrote it in Arabic and not in
Hebrew because his desire was
not to reach the Jewish masses
but only the scholars of Judaism.
He desired those teachers should
once for all know that the Torah
lets itself be altered to the time.
At that time the Greek Aristo
philosophy with the commentary
of the Arabic philosophy was
very much "a la mode. Those

The Jewish herald. (Houston, Tex.) 1908-1914, 1909-01-28

In our editorial last week we
admitted there was a danger
threatening Judaism in this coun-
try. 1t also puts the question
What is to be done?" Before
trying to solve this question we
must know what the danger and
the source from whence it comes.
AS regards the source and from
whence this danger that is threat
ening Judaism comes we can
say definitely that from two
sides a systematic struggle is 60
ing on against religious and ma
tional Judaism. On the one side
are the genosen with their prop
uganda of chilul kodesh to de-
stroy everything Jewish; the
genosen who have filled the Jew
ish districts in our large cities
with the meanest anti Jewish
agitation and are trying to in
fuence our Jewish immigrants.
On the other hand, the Christian
Jews, the galocham rabbis and
still more than both, are the set
Elements who are endeavoring to
sever from the Jewish people
their Americanized children.
Now, when we know the nature
and the source of this danger
we can try and solve the ques-
ton itself. First of all, we must
study the time and place this
danger is lowering over Judaism.
The time is the beginning of the
Twentieth Century and the place
the great industrial centers OF
the United States.
In such time and IN Such a
place, most undoubtedly, many
religious ceremonies which had
previously served, has (Geider)
pallaside to Judaism will discon-
tinue. We do not wish to point
out which those ceremonies are
but we do knowlthat our sages of
the Talmud have never stopped
at such things. Though the To
rah was regarded by them as
the foundation of Judaism, still
when they found it necessary
they take out many columns of
this foundation and others were
substituted to fit the time and
the circumstances.
The true reformers were the
