is possible to do both. Our grand

hairs before they are fifty. but they are
beginning TO appreciate the wisdom of
our grandmothers in using sage tea"
for their hair and are fast following

eCts ever undertaken is that Of the city
Of Baltimore. Tie Maryland leg1sla-
threatened 10 CuntamtnaLe the oyster
beds Of Chesapeake bay and passed
law requiring Baltimore to establish
system which would eliminate this dan
ger Of injection.
To accomplish this 1t became neCes-
sary for the Monumental City to build
a system Of sewers sufficient to aC-
commodate the needs Of 100000 people.
Also It had TO provide a method OF
sewage disposal which would eliminate
all dangerous bacteria before the water
was turned back into the bay. To- do
this It had TO establish separate sew
age and drainage systems, since the ne
ceSsity OF purifying the surface water
Under the new system all sewage is
carried cut to the back river. Here
y goes into great hydrOlithiC tank,
through which ths water is allowed 70
How slowly. Most Of the solid matter
settles to the bottom. The uQJid sew
age Is then permitted to pass through
the pipes and into sprinklers which
sprinkle II like rain over large gravel
ped eight and One-half feet thick. In
trickltng down through this finely
crushed gravel the friendly germs at
tach themselves in gelatin masses to
the gravel and attack the disease germs
as Lhey pass along In this way the
germ enemies Of mankind are overpOw-
cred and destroyed. and after the water
has been allowed to undergo another
process for the extraction of it's min
erat contents, IL becomes bland and
harmless and runs off into the river.
The problem Of garbage disposal has
&c states. Some of the European cities
and also IN a few of those in the Unit
ed States. Some Of the European cities
use the garbage as fuel for municipal
heating and lighting plants and are
able to make a profit out Of the BUSH
ness
Worcester, Mass, conducts a hog
farm for the consumption of its kitchen
waste and finds that IL IS able to make
q fair profit out Of garbage disposal
In this way. Columbus, o., has recent
" erected a garbage reduction plant
and the byproduCts Of garbage reduC-
ton, such as oils and fertilizers, make
It a profitable investment
The elimination of the horse from
city life promises TO be one Of the
factors In the making Of the clean
city of the twentieth century The pop
ularity Of the heavy automobile truck
and the repeated demonstration Of the
reduction IN the cost Of operation as
compared to the horse drawn vehicle
Is lending more and more 20 the GdOp-
tiOn OF the automobile and the retire
ment Of the horse. It is declared by
DR.. i. o. Howard Of the department Of
agriculture that in those parts Of
Washington where the automobile has
supplanted the horse, the hOusefly has
almost disappeared. 1t is probable that
