VALUE OF SEPTIC TANKS.
Many Odors and Germs May Be Dis
pensed With by Their Use.

pensed With by Their Use.
Ex-President Roosevelt's farmers
commission, appointed for the purpose
of investigating and reporting upon the
conditions of the great farming indus
try of our country, found that one of
the greatest disadvantages the farming
community has to contend with, owing
to the absence of proper sewerage, was
the unsanitary conditions surrounding
the homes.
Now this same condition prevails not
only upon the farm but also in small
towns and suburbs of cities where there
are no sewers or water works, and
where the people have to depend upon
wells for their water supply.
Usually these homes have a well at
the rear of the house, near the kitchen
door. A few feet further will probab-
ly be an old style toilet, standing over
an unwalled vault dug few feet into
the ground. The greasy waters and
slops from the kitchen are either con-
veyed by pipe from the sink to no e
in the ground, or empited into the back
yard to purify and from which the
swarms of flies, attracted by the OBJ
noxious oders from this decaying mass
on the ground and in the toilet, carry
disease and death into the house, as
bees carry pollen from flower to flower
In the winter seasons we do not have
the germ carrying flies to pollute our
food, but we have an agent equally as
Dad in the rains, which saturate the
earth and carry the seepage from these
polluted places down through the
ground, uniting with and constantly
concentrating the well water with ty.
phoid and other germs.
All of these dangers can be overcome
at comparatively small expense by
the installation of properly designed
and constructed septic tank, with a
glazed verified sewerage system con-
Meeting the house and toilet with the
same. The tank being practically
buried in the ground and dramatically
sealed, with the inlet and outlet pipes
beneath the water, there can be no
oders escape from it. Even the water
from the outlet, or overflow, of the
tank is clear, odorless and germless,
all of which are owing to the fact that
the specific gravity of all vegetable
and animal matter entering the tank
with its germs, odors, ETC., cause it to
float to the surface of the water, which
is always maintained at a considerable
distance aoove the overflow. Here it
floats undisturbed while in it certain
microbes develop which devour and de-
stroy it. A system of this kind can be
put in without investing in high priced
plumbing goods or the services of a
plumber, as it is constructed principal
ly of concrete and sewer piping. Any
handy man should be able to install it..
If septic tank system was properly
installed at such places as described in
this article, those homes would be as
sanitary as home in the city.

Although men, as they run, are per
haps muscularly stronger than women
their inability to withstand the ele.
ments and their reliance upon clothes
place them considerably below the So
called weaker sex in the matter of un-
clothed toughness, says a writer in the
Kansas City Journal. Women wear
clothes for ornament men use them as
protective covering. A group of men
marooned clotheless on an island in the
temperate zone might be expected to
die off in month from draughts and
colds and rheumatism. The health of
women similarly placed would suffer
little from the enforced exposure. The
fact appears to be, therefore, that in
everything but muscle-in vitality, rug
gedness, character, disposition, brain
power, etc.-woman Is the tougher not
the weaker SEX

pepossd Grand Councillor Has Been
Called Empires Strongest Man.
Yuan shi Kai, the great viceroy Of
Chill province, who was recently dis
missed from the Office of grand coun-
cilor and commander In chief Of the
Chinese forces, was one of the most
influential and powerful statesmen In
the Chinese empire.
The reason given for his dismissal
Is that he has rheumatism of the leg.
The edict ordered Yuan Shi Kai to
vacate all his Offices and to return to
his home, adding, "Thus our clemency
toward him Is manifested"
Yuan Shi Kai has been called the
strongest man In China and was re-
garded as much more powerful that
Ii Hung Chang was. He Is a thor
oughly practical man and brought
business methods to the administra-
tion Of the empire. He worked assid-
uously for the advancement of the
Middle Kingdom, and his watchword
was that China was capable Of ac-
complishing just as much as had ia
pan. He inspired a national patriot
ism which Is today doing much to
sweep away middle age superstition
and rebuild the empire. He has been
a member of the grand council since
1907, and In that year he relinquished
the post Of viceroy of Chill. but 1t
was in this Office that he gained the
greatest renown.

1t is an uncontested fact that Yuan
