A SETTLING TANK
Z Device That Would Help Matters
a he City Reservoir Where
Rains Wash Down Mud
SHOWERS OF MERCY"
Rains Should Be Utilized to Prevent
Serious Menance to Health
OF Citizens
(Communicated.)
Andes, N. Y. Aug. Il. 4,

Editor of The Evening Capital.
Dear Sir:-In the Evening Capital
of August 10 there is an article under
the heading Streams Running Heav-
Ter, y in which the statement is made
that an official of the Water Company
had said that the copious shower 5
of yesterday (the 1s) were too heavy
to be of much benefit to the reser-
voir. "
A very similar statement was made
according to the Evening Capital) by
an official of the Water Company some
weeks since, and the surprise caused
by the repetition of this statement
must be even greater than that called
forth in the first instance.
1t seems to me that the Water Com
pany would be disposed to suppress
the first statement rather than en-
phasize it by its repetition. 1t would
be interesting to know if the managers
of the Water Company have ever
been struck with the inconsistency of
their daily appeals to the water con-
sumers of Annapolis to exercise the
utmost economy in the use of water
while they (the Water Company have
not hesitated to confess that they are
allowing the continuance of conditions
which involve the loss of hundreds of
thousands of gallons of water, probab-
ly, for every gallon that could possibly
be saved by the utmost economy of the
consumer.
The necessity for this waste crisis,
as has been stated by an official of the
Water Company from the fact that
whenever there are heavy rains there.
If allowed to enter the reservoir, carry
into it so much mud, ETC., as to render
the whole unserviceable. If this is
true, does the Water Company recog-
nize no obligation on its part to
remedy these conditions by establish
ing settling tanks" or similar de-
vices, so that the muddy water may,
by the deposition of the mud, be rend-
cred fit for use?
While it is true that 1.-THE rain falls
alike on the just and the unjust, " it is
also true that Heaven helps those who
help themselves, and unless the Water
Company considers itself such a spec
ial protege of Providence that they
may count upon showers of mercy
in the form of rains so gentle in their
nature and so opportune in their ar
rival as to be just suited to the condi-
tions of the Annapolis reservoir it
seems that it would be the part of
wisdom to endeavor to corral" i'm
pound or otherwise detain some of
those gully washers" rather than
trust to happy conjunction of condi-
lions that occur, if ever so rarely, as to
preclude the maintenance of suffi-
cient supply of water in the reservoir.
The limit to which "forbearance
ceases to be a virtue" seems to have
been reached in this matter of the
Annapolis water supply and the tax
payers of the town should demand
that part of the revenues of the Wa
ter Company should be utilized to
prevent this annual troubling of the
waters, and the consequent serious
inconvenience and positive menace to
the health of every citizen that it in
Wolves.
Yours respectfully,
WIN. N. BERKELEY.

How Ladies Improve
Looks!


Many ladies, old and young, suffer
round of tortures with their nerves,
and many are SO frail, thin and blood
less, that their splendid features are
lost sight of, while a vain attempt to
conceal the angularity Of the figure,
deceives no one but themselves and
really excites the pity or ridicule OF
the world" said a well known, largely
employed, practicing physician, In a
recent lecture at a young ladies' coll
iege. ri do not mind exposing a little
secret of mine to all such, as it can
do no harm and may result in much
happiness and health. It Is simply
this: Any thin, bloodless, nerve-tor-
tured man or woman, can become as
fit as tho f1ttest by taking regularly
for several months an easily obtained
pharmaceutical product known by the
profession and pharmacists, as three
grain hypo-nuclane tablets put up in
sealed packages with directions for
home use.'
