both by the cities and the factories to
keep the water contaminated for many
years to come. even if all the flow of
the sewage into the lake were stopped
now and at once. Speaking of the
feasibility of extending the water
mains, the speaker pointed to the
Brewster report, which shows the wat
er two miles in the lake to be 80 per
cent more contaminated by the Calumet
river, and the government dumpings
than where the intake is now.
He cited cities, among them valpa-
raise, where the plan that he proposes
is already in use and solving the prob
lem He pointed to the glucose plant,
which purifies all of its water which
1t uses. This water incidentally comes
from Wolf lake and needs publication
before it can be used for the purpose
which the glucose needs it. He said
that the glucose uses on the average of
100000 gallons a day, and puriffes it
chemically at an expense of IS a day.
With Hammond using about 5000, 600
gallons daily, the city's expense for
publication could be kept within $25
The chemical aluminium sulphite, lime
or iron sulphite, or whatever 1t may be
it depending on the kind of water, can
be bought at SIS ton and since ii
takes a grain and a half to a gallon
of water it can be readily seen thai
a ton would go a long way. Further
than this DR.. Weis does not think il
necessary to purify all of the water
pumped into the city as for instance
that used in the factories, stables, bath
tubs, etc. He would suggest a new line
of water mains only one-third as large
as the present to supply the domestic
luse.
Believes Drainage Canal a Failure.
DR.. Weis quoted Colonel Bixby of the
war department, who recently upon his
retiring said that the s5o.000,o0O drain
age canal was failure. He does not
believe that the connection of the Calu-
met river with the Sag would not rem
edy the defect since the Lake Michi-
gan water supply is spoiled for years
to come.
Incidentally the speaker threw new
light on the Glucose situation in as
much as it helps to contaminate the
drinking water The water that the
Glucose uses is absolutely pure, DR.
| Weis argued, as are also the grains
that they use, consequently the refus,
must be pure, but, he continued, the
| city of Hammond dumps sewage intC
the lake, which naturally gives tn,
Glucose refuse a breeding place for thu
development Of the bacteria.
DIR. Weis has promised to give an
other lecture along the same line. ane
it will undoubtedly be just as inter
esting as the one last evening.

DR.. w. d. Weis, secretary of the
Hammond board of health, last even
ing before the Wednesday Night club,
in a lecture on health problems, pro-
posed a solution to the problem Of
Hammond's contaminated drinking wat
er. which if acted up and found feast
BILE. will produce the millennium for this
city in the drinking water ike.
The plan that DR.. Weis proposed
provides for the publication of the
drinking water by a chemical process
which the water undergoes before it
is sent out into the water mains. The
only expense that would be incurred
with such a process would be the cost
of the plant and the cost of the chemi-
cal, which can be bought by the ten,
for about IS.
DIT. Weis delivered most of his lee
ture in the dark, the electric stereopti-
con light having failed to work and
incidentally cut the library off the cleo
trio light circuit But despite these
handicaps the speaker enjoyed the clos
est attention and so highly was the
lecture appreciated that the board of
directors has asked DR. Weis to give
another lecture on the same subject
at future date
DIR. WeIs an Authority.
Dr. Weis was listened to as a man
who speaks from authority and a man
who has studied the health problem in
this region closer than any other man.
1t was through DR. Weis efforts and
ability to arouse enthusiasm among the
various cities in this region that the

Lake Michigan water supply report
from the board of health was brought
about. and had it not been for the
] failure OF the light last night he could
have used the report to still better adj
vantage than he did. AS it was, he
| quoted freely from 1t, and because of
! having studied the situation closely he
was enabled to make the suggestions
and give the discussion that he did.
Dr. Weis spoke on the theory that
the natural water supply is decreas-
ing and naturally deteriorating in quail
ity. He pointed TO the fact that this
whole region even within the memory
of the first settlers was one whole
swamp. that the wells dug by the ear
/ ly settlers went dry and that at a later
day the driven wells and the ratesian
wells. which for a time supplied Ham
mond. went dry.

These facts he cited to prove that
the water supply is decreasing. He
said that in the past years enough sew
age had been poured into Lake Michi-
gan from the municipalities, beginning
at the north shore to Michigan City

When a young man is hired by a
business firm it is a plain business
proposition. A bad habit to fall into
is to grumble all of the time that you
are doing too much work for the sal
airy paid. The duties of the position
are fully explained, and the employee
agrees to do so much work each day
for a certain amount Of money. If
the young man agrees TO do the amount
of work that belongs to the position,
and if he finds there is too much work
for the pay given him. he has the priv
ilege of seeking another situation, the
same as the employer has to get anoth-
er man to do the work if he learns
that the young man cannot fill the
position. But the young man that ac-
cepts the first position finds that re-
suits count the most in the business
world.
