eagles wings the shadows of security,
and, last of ALL as a browning climax
of folly, the sending of warships to
neutral ports! From east to west, as
the oceans run, from the border line
OF the north to that of the south, there
swept over the great waiting nation a
call to arms. No dam built by mortal
man could have stemmed that rising
tide of indignation save the one that
was erected by the administration in

sand men, drilled for the emergencies

the land, giving promise of wealth oil
bloom and prodigality of harvest; but
the pillow stood idle and rusted In the

riches of peace, implanted. Every.

Impure Water.

SO much has been written on the
danger of impure drinking water, and
SO many epidemics of typhoid fever
have been traced to this source, that
1t seems almost needless to utter
warning against the use Of unboiled
water when there is the slightest sus
plclon that such water may not be alb.
solutely pure Yet so strong is the
force or conservatism and so impatient
are many with the seeming overcau-
uousness of modern sanitary teaching
that the warning, and the reasons for
II, cannot be too often repeated, says
the New York Weekly. If such warn.
ing is needed by only one family, and
a visitation of typhoid fever is thereby
averted, it will have been we'll worth
while. The water supply of every large
city, taken from river, lake or a num-
Der OF streams, unless there is a sys-
tenn of sand-filtration at the reservoir,
is never absolutely safe. A single case
of typhoid fever on the banks of the
river, or of any of the small streams
which contribute to the supply, may
contamiate the water and give rise to
other cases lower down on the stream;
and the aggregate of pollution in the
water may soon render dangerous the
city supply to which it contributes.
The prudent housewife will avoid dan
ger from impure water by boiling all
that is used for drinking and for cook
ing purposes.
