When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount OF
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount OF
air. The result is shortness OF
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DIR. Miles Heart Rem

CITY is SOLVING THE
PURE WATER QUESTION
New Filter TO be Completed After June 1910, Will
Provide Best of Wafer for WiImingfonians

After June, 1910, Wilmington will
have potable water, which. it is as
serted. will be safe enough to use in
surgical operations. This VIII be the
result of the completion of the final
filter plant, now being constructed by
Coleman Brothers. of Boston, at cost
Of s257,5O0
After June Of next year, the pure
water problem will have been solved
for Wilmington. Most extensive in
scope, the Wilmington filtration system
will then be sending filtered water into
every household.
The immediate result of this expendi-
ture Of nearly quarter Of a million
dollars and Of nearly two years OF labor
viii be clear drinking fluid which
will exceed the recognized German
standard Of an absolutely pure drink
ing water the eventual result looked
for is the reduction Of typhoid fever
by at least so per cent. on the as
sumption that this will result will be
attained It is estimated that there
would be saved annually In Whining
ton about 40 lives. Valuing each life
at $4,000. aggregating 100000 the plant
will, in its hygeinic benefit alone, with
tn one year have earned almost its cost
Though filter beds and "Schmutz-
decl1re" and other technical filtration
terms have been much discussed during
the short time in which the final filter
plant has been under construction,
there is still much confusion as to how
water is filtered
Filtration System Explained.
The method is simple; the process
complex.
The city's slow sand filter beds will
consist merely of a large concrete re-
servoir. on the floor OF which are dump
ed first broken stone, perhaps three
inches wide. then smaller stone and
still smaller, and finally a thick layer
Of clean sand.
Water percolates through from TOP
to bottom, where it is gathered into
collecting pipes. The day after a fil-
ter bed is constructed it win give clear
water, but not filtered water. Not until
the filter is ripe is the water safe tc
drink
Raw water is filled with bacteria
minute vegetable growths, some harm
less, some fatal. There is IN the water
much suspended matter, making il
cloudy.
Inc Sdnu layer strains the water ol
the suspended matter, making 1t clear
but not pure. II is only after the laps,
Of several days that there accumulate.
on the top OF the sand the so-callet
"Schmutzdeckr.' or bacterial jelly,
Shiny mass made up largely OF bac,
terra which destroys the other bacteris
IN the raw water as II passes through
Bacteria are used TO destroy bacteria
the sand merely forms foundation fol
the bacterial jelly and strains the water
But the result is that while in raw
water there may be as many as SoO.O0I
bacteria in a cubic centimetre, or. say
a voluem Of water measuring lilo o
an inch high, wide and thick. there Il
in the filtered water less than 1QI
bacteria.
This is the process. And this will b.
the gift TO the city of the Board o
Water Commissioners in June, 1910
despite the many obstacles which hav'
hampered them in their purpose t
give every household in the city goo
water.

RuTLANp oFFIoIALLY ORA. :

The city Of Rutland is undergoing the
experience Of being now in the dry
column SO far as the liquor traffic il
concerned and the press is calling for the
strict enforcement Of the features Of the
no-lieense law, the friends Of the present
regime claiming that if the law is en-
forced the city win never vote again to
license the sale Of liquor, while the advo-
Gates Of license on the other hand claim
that rigid enforcement Of the mo-
license regime will mean that the city
viii surely not vote for no.lioense again.
Each side being, therefore, satisfied to
have strict enforcement Of the no-li.
cense regime this year, there ought to
be little trouble in securing ii, and hav-
ing secured it the people Of Rutland
should be content to let the results speak
for themselves But experience tells us
that simply because community desires
enforcement Of the liquor law does not
carry with it the surety that 1t will be
enforced. Public sentiment not backed
up by works will be as futile al If there
were a complete straddle on the question.
In addition to an undoubted public
opinion which favors the shutting out Of
kitchen dives and secret saloons, there
must be active efforts on the part Of all.
Then and then only win Rutland see the
strict enforcement Of no-lieense which
both sides profess to want.

st. Albans, let it be known to The

not, the invitation came directly from
