Board of Health Emphasizes Dangers
From Impure Water.

sWater for the Home and Farm" is
the subject of the latest leafiet dealing
with the health of home and school.
which has been issued by the State Board
of Health, In citing examples of dan
gers from impure water the bulletin
says:
Elm MiIinocket, in our own State, in
the spring of 1904 a fire broke out. To
fight the fire, water was pumped from
the stream below the village sewer di-
rectly into the pipes which supplied the
hydrants with water, and at the same
time supplied the people with drinking
water BY thus filing the water pipes
with impure water a severe outbreak OF
typhoid fever was caused in Millnocket.
But this was not all of it. Millinocket
stream flows into the West branch of the
Penobseot. Bangor and Old Towfi, TAX
ing their supplies from the Penobscot
river about 70 miles below Millinocket,
both soon had very severe epidemics or
typhoid fever by using the river water,
which had been polluted by the sewage
from Millinocket and the infection from
cases of typhoid fever in that village"
In speaking of the diseases caused
by impure water the bulletin says:
"The most frequent and severe diseases
caused by impure drinking water are
typhoid fever and cholera, but serious
attacks OF diarrheal diseases are
spread in the same way, and water
flowing through lead pipe very often

THE STANDARD FIGURES

This Year, $4,329, 900.

Figures compiled by the insurance
publication. The Standard. and now on
HE at the office of the State insurance
commissioner. Hon. Beecher Putnam of
,Houlton, show that the fire losses in
Maine for the first five months of the
year caused by fires doing damage of
$4,000 and over amount to s4.329O 900. while
the losses of a similar nature for the cor
responding five months of 1910 amounted
to but S7s5 900. During the month of May
of this year there have been seven fires
causing over $4,000 damage with a total
loss of $2l5 600. while in May 1910 there
were but three fires whose loss exceeded
$4,000. and the total was $4,000, just
$780, 600 less The May loss this year is
very small compared with that of April
when seven fires with loss of over So

causes serious and long lasting illness
among people who use the water with
out suspecting that the trouble is lead
poisoning"
The manner in which wells and
springs are polluted and the manner
of protection are touched upon in the
bulletin in the following language:
Pollution most always comes about by
carelessness in having wells too near
the sources of filth outhouses, barn
yards, drefns, sewers, etc, or by care
lessness in constructing them, or in
not taking care of them afterwards.
In too many wells the stoning is
not carried high enough to allow the
surrounding ground TO be graded off
so the surface wash may be drained
from the well. 1t runs directly in with
out fltering through the soil. Aside
from properly grading off the surface
surrounding the well, good layer of
puddled clay beneath the surface and
sloping from the well and extending a
considerable distance from it would
give good degree of additional Sc
curity.
With ordinary soils 1t is a great
wells, if any surface soakage. which
finds its way into them has to travel
considerable distance through the
soil to get there. 1t is because the soil
can act in some degree as a filter. And
there are other reasons.
But in some places the LAYERS be-
low the earth's surface do not afford
protection. Gravel affords little or
none. Sand is the best and ordinary
or light loan the next best. shall
low soil and a waterproof layer of CLAW
OF iedge near the surface may carry
foul soakage. quite long distances into
wells"
The bulletin explodes the popular
1aliaey that wells require ventilation
and points out that it is an error to
suppose that if water is clear and looks
al right 1t is all right Some clear
and sparkling waters, with no sus-
plcious tastes are dangerously polluted
and infected"

from those of other countries. The pines
may be considered the most important of
all trees in Japan, and great care is ia
ken of their cultivation and preservation.
Some OF the most popular ones are
Pinus densifiora, Pinus passifiora and
Pinus thumbergli They are generally
grown from seed, and great care Is tax
en- to select he choicest qualities. In
the spring OF the second year, when the
seedlings are about inches in height,
they are staked with bamboo canes and
tied with rice straw. the plants being
bent in different desirable shapes. The
next autumn they are transpianted to
richer soil and well fertilized. In the
following spring the plants are restaked
and twisted and tied in fanciful forms.
This mode of treatment is given until the
seventh year. when the trees WIN have
assumed fairly large proportions, the
branches being trained In graceful forms,
and the foliage like sinai. clouds of
dense green. The plants are now taken
up and potted.
Every succeeding year great care must
be taken of new shoots, which must be
kept pinched back. After another three
years of this treatment the trees are vir-
tualy dwarfed, there being no visible
growth after. Another important branch
of Japanese nursery business Is the
dwarfng of bamboos. which is carried
out in the following manner. Three
weeks after bamboo shoots begin to
grow. and when the trunks measure
about inches in circumference and s
feet in height, the bark is removed piece
by piece, from the joint. After five
weeks. when the plants get somewhat
stout bend and tie the stem Zigzag; after
three months. when the side shoots grow
strong enough. cut them all of. or 8
inches from the main trunk; they are
then dug up and potted In sand; care
should be taken not TO use any fertilizer.
but plenty of water should be given.
Cut off the large shoots every year. in
May or June. and after three years the
twigs and leaves will present admirable
yellow and green tints. Dwarfed thuyas
are effected by means of grafting-St.
