TO LIMIT AUTOS SPEED.

There is some talk of an ordinance
to be adopted at the next monthly
louex township, limiting the speed OF
autos within the settled portions of
the township to Is miles per hour The
absence of sidewalks in the towns of
Allouez township makes it necessary
for the pedestrians to walk on the
streets, thereby making it dangerous,
especially for little children when an
auto whirls along at full speed.

LAURIUM
Will DECREASE
infant DEATHS
DAIRY AND FOOD coMMIss IoNER
WILL CARRY ON CAMPAIGN,
AND WILL PUT CHEMISTS
IN THE FIELD.

In an endeavor to decrease the rate
OF infant mortality in the state during
the months of July and August, the
state dairy and food commission is
placing 1G chemists in the field who
will make tests OF the milk delivered
in several of the larger cities of the
state and who win also inspect the
dairies from which the milk comes.
The plan was originated by State
Chemist Robinson and when he car
ricd it to his chiefs I'm the department
1t met with such unqualified approval
that ii was carried out i'm full. Mr..
Robinson has been attempting for
some months past TO devise a plan for
handling the work OF his department
In the most efficient manner and yet
keeping within the amount of the APP
preparation granted. While IL is inn
possible to keep chemists i'm the field
throughout the year, 1t was decided
that the department could afford the
| services of these men for at least two
months and July and August were
chosen because the infant death rate
at that time is so high that it posi-
lively overshadows all other mortality
rates within the state.
Will Keep Tab on Diaries.
All of the students who have been
chosen to carry ON the work have had
considerable experience i'm the actual
testing of milk and have a first hand
knowledge of the practical care of
diaries They will make daily tests of
the milk distributed and upon finding
samples which show traces of germs in
sufficient quantity to make the milk
dangerous to health. will trace down
the cause and advise with the dairy
men on methods of correcting the evil.
The regular inspectors I'm the employ
of the department will follow them
up closely and where l1airymen fail to
comply with the orders which they
have received, their cases will be re-
fered to the state commission and
prosecutions commenced.
This campaign" said Mr.. Robin
| son, rs not campaign of prosecu-
ton, il is "A campaign of education
We must do something to cut down
the fearful death rate among infants
during the summer months and
know of no better way than by guard
ing the milk supply. We can at least
see that the babies get pure milk and
we expect to have very little trouble
carrying out our plans. The majority
of dairymen I'm the state will be ready
to adopt the suggestions made, and on
the whole | expect that our expert
ment will work out very successfully

DEEP WELL DUG.
A Deep Well Has Been Bored at Cen
trial Power Station.


| Elon College, Aug. 20,---The commit
tee appointed by the board OF trustees
to have deep well bored at the cen
trial power staticn met here today and
tested the well being bored for them
by the Artesian Well company, Of Will
son.
The committee made contract for
| a five hundred foot we'll, expecting
that 1t would take that deep well to
furnish the needed twenty-five gal
Ions per minute, but they reserved the
fright to stop whenever they thought
they had all the water they wanted.
The work began July 20 with Mr..
&c. r. Heater as foreman on the job.
The first eighty feet was made in a
short time through soil and cased
with eight inch well casing. From
then on it was rock and more rock.
AT eighty-seven feet Mr.. Heater figur-
ed that he had struck seven gallon
|per minute flow. At 141 feet he added
to that immensely, SO much so that
the head of water all but destroyed
the working capacity of his 1900 pound
Steel drill. He worked for two days
on the adamantine formation without
making but about two feet and asked
that the committee test the we'll. This
request was granted.
Messrs. J. Beale Johnson, chairman,
Raleigh; R. M. Morrow, Burlington,
and H. w. Wellons, EIon College, the
committee OF the college on the deep
well, accordingly met here today and
after fair test found that we have
a capacity of from fifty to one hundred
and twelve gallons per minute in the
present well. This seems to be all
the water we need at present to sup
|ply the college plant and the people
of the village, and so the Artesian
Well company was released from the
further prosecution of its contract 1T
this time.
The completion Of this well marks
an era in the value of the college heat,
light and water plants. The water
viii be analysed at once and IL found
suitable, as 1t no doubt will, will be
used not only for sewerage but also
for drinking, It has pleasant taste
and seems absolutely pure.
Arrangements are also being made
to put hot water from the central
power station into all the college
buildings instead of having each build
ing heat its own water separately.
