SWIMMING POOL CLEANSER.
Tests Made at Brown University Show
Efficient Sterilizer.

The necessity for keeping swimming
pools in sanitary condition by the
use OF some adequate disinfectant is
urged by The Medical Record, in an
editorial which calls attention TO the
proved efficiency of hypochlorite of
lime. The sterility obtained is said to
last four days.
THE swimming pool" says the
writer, lis greatly gaining in favor in
all cities and is, it is needless to state,
mere or less necessary adjunct to
civilization. 1t may also be said that
New York is very deficient in adequate
swimming facilities. In London these
are to be found in every part of the
metropolis, some free, some at a small
charge, and others OF a more luxurious
nature.
They are all patronized very ex-
tensively and must obviously tend in
the direction of health, cleanliness.
and amusement. In the case of the
young of the poorer classes swimming
baths are boon-almost necessity
but it is obvious that there must be
considerable difficulty in keeping the
water fairly clean and disinfected.

Distinction by heat is out Of the
question on account of the expense.
Distinction of sewage and drink

been tested at the Massachusetts, In

to be the satisfactory disinfectant of
drinking water. Furthermore. in
parts of England and of the United
States and in Montreal and Toronto.

the public water supply free from

Hypochlorite of lime was used with
equal success as a purifier of the wa

After the hypochlorite had been in

sterility of the water was affected.
The pool remained practically sterile

serted that hypochlcrite of lime is an

DOORS AND MOISTURE,
The Sense of Smell Augmented by a
Device Little Known.

THE most striking fact connected
with my school career" said the
prep school graduate. was peculiar
ability on the part of our command-
ant to detect the faintest odor of
smoke in a room on his daily inspee-
ton. The school l attended was of
the military variety. and smoking was
a rather serious offence. No matter
how much room had been aired or
famed with wet towels previous to
the inspection. the offender was al
ways caught
After / had received my finishing
touches and become a citizen l made
SO bold as to inquire from what pc
culiar dispensation of providence the
ability was given to detect one MOLE
Guile of smoke in hundred cubic feet
of pure air. The old boy smiled and
binding me to secrecy. impaired the
reason of his wonderful ability. Then
he took me to a boys vacated room
and told me to wet my finger and rub
my nostrils with ii and snuff. Lo and
behold. whore before there seemed no
faint in the atmosphere was now de-
tected that smell of old tobacco smoke.
Since then I have taught school my
self and have used the trick occasion
ally, entirely for experimental pur
poses. however.
II have also sought the scientific
explanation, but with little success.
1t may however, be somewhat analo-
gous to the process of tasting. You
know. it is impossible to taste any
thing that is not dissolved in water
or is not a liquid itself. SO the mois-
ture on the nostrils must carry the
small particles of smoke in a more or
less damp state to the olfactory nerve
ends and thus make the smell more APP
parent At least this is the only ex-
PLANTATION I have ever found for the
phenomenon.
"The same thing can also be used
for detecting other. odors and I have
found it useful on number of occa-
sions for this purpose, both in analy-
teal chemistry when only small
particle of certain material is avail
able for ANALYSIS. and in detecting
faint perfume from flowers that are
ordinarily quite odorless. Chicago

LABOR HOURS TO
SAVE LITTLE GIRL
Physicians Work ALI Night
on Child Who Drank
Pint of Gin.

When twelve hours Of unceasing labor
over the silent form'of little girl ended
in the dimly lighted wards of Casualty
Hospital this morning, three-year-old
Eufalia Cothey was given hope Of life.
Her vitality almost gone from the ef-
fects of a pint of gin, and from being
allowed to lie unconscious without medi-
cal treatment for more than four hours,
the little Polish girl was taken to the
hospital late last night.
Her father and mother live at SIS T
street northeast. They are a Polish
family. Many times had the father seen
big. strong men lie in stupors for hours,
and then come around with nothing
more than a headache Sc he didn't
quite understand that the gin would
kill her unless the best medical treat
ment was secured.
Eufalia was playing around the house
yesterday afternoon, when she found
the bottle. She climbed on a chair and
took II in her little hands. Then, little
by little, she drank the gin, until she
had consumed all of it. Then It burned
her stomach, and she began to cry.
Almost dead from alcohol poisoning
was the child when DR.. KIlgour reached
the hospital with her, and from o'clock
until after o'clock this morning he Ia
bored before he felt that the child had a
fighting chance to recover.

TAFT RE|TERATES
PHILIPPINE VIEWS
Again Says Uncle Sam Must
Hold Islands Until Capable
of Government.

Speaking last night at the annual
dinner at the New Willard of the
Military Order of the Carabao, Presi-
dent Taft declared his views once
more on the question OF retaining the
Philippines by the United States. The
Presidents utterances are calculated
to give small hope to those who would
see the Islands Independent at an
early date.
The President declared that in his
judgment the United States is likely
to retain the islands for a consider
able time.
This is consistent with the position
the President has all along taken and
consistent with the position taken by
former President Roosevelt. that the
islands should remain in possession of
this country until fitted for self-gov-
ernment.
Mr.. Taft in the course of his speech
said:
"If we desert the. Philippines now
they are our wards-and run away
from the trust given us. by fate, we
shall be towards. l am willing to
part with the islands when we can do
so honorably. But we cannot do so
until they haze a government. with
a full idea of the responsibilities at
tending such government.
Il hope the time will come when
we shall be ready to let them go, but
when they will be unwilling to sep
arate themselves entirely from US. l
think, in such a separation, there may
be danger to them and to all con-
cerned. / hope for the continuance of
bond of sympathy between this
country and the Philippines"
President Tafts idea that the Phil
ippines may become so satisfied with
American rule, as to be unwilling to
have the shadow of the American flag
entirely lifted from the islands. is
considered by those who have watch
ed the course of things in the islands
as the most striking thing in his ad-
dress.
The President spoke in the presence
of a large body of distinguished
guests, including Vice President Sher-
man, Speaker Cannon. and Solicitor
General Lehman. Judge James F.
Smith. former governor general of
the islands, was present The Presi-
dent was made an honorary member
Of the Carabao.
