These officials propose that only ser

The police themselves have only one

To the Farmers

We, the undersigned thresher-
men, would ask that in stacking
YOUR grain, you would build the
stacks SO there would be six feet
between when we pull through.
Build the stacks directly opposite
each other. When there are more
than two stacks, build the others
up against the first two. Divide
the grain, putting all equal amount
on each side. Do not put all the
wheat OH one side and all the oats
or barley, on the other.
DO not build the stacks so the
prevailing wind will blow direct
the space for the machine, but a
little quartering, so as to take OH
all fire risk possible. We would
like the stacks built so that start
ing where the engine sits, allthe
smoke would go to the right hand
side of the stacks. Our driving
belts are $50 to 100 feet long, so
YOU can allow room for us to get
around. Please do not build the
stacks on swampy ground or where
we have to cross over sWanpy
ground to get to them. 1t works
a hardship on us and you do not
receive any benefit by SO doing.
We want to do your threshing
and you want the work done as
soon as possible after the grain IS
ready for the machine, and you can
help us by putting the stacks where
we can get at them without any
extra trouble or cost to you' ana
not scatter them all over the place.

of lime should be rubbed into a tea

be diluted with three cuptulls of
water, and a teaspoon of the whole
quantity should be added to each

This will give iour or five parts
of free chlorine to "a million parts of

stroy all typhoid and colon bacilli

The hypoChlorite of lime method
of steriizing the water supply of
municipalities was used for the
first time three years ago in Au-
gust OH the famous Bubbly Greek
filter plant OF the Union Stock Yard
ard Transit company, at Chicago,
says. c. A. Jennings, of that city,
who installed two plants in North
Yakima. In Chicago the raw wa
ter receives the sewerage of some
$50, 900 people within / 200 feet of
the publication intake.
The hyposhlorite of lime pro-
cess nsed in conjunction with the
filter plant, makes it possible to
render absolutely safe for human
consumption, said Mr.. Jennings.
About 5000, 900 gallons per
day are treated and used for water
ing livestock at the yards. Since
August 1908, some two hundred
cities have been using this process
to sterilize their water supply. In
some cases it is used with filter
plants, at others it is used with
settling basins, while others Use it
without any other system.
1t is simple, the cost of install
lation is very small and the main
tainanCe and cost of chemicals is so
low as to be practically negligible.
Whenever there is an epidemic Of
typhoid fever caused by a contain
mated water supply, this process
of sterilization is resorted to. tbs
quickley installed and there is
never any question as to its effiCen-
cy. 1t is conceded by all, that
when properly applied, it will EN-
tlrely eliminate disease producing
organisms from the water. Among
the larger cities using this process
are Minneapolis, indianapolis,
Pistsbtrg, Philadelphia, Cincinnati.
Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Coun-
Gil Bluffs, Omaha, Des Moines,
Harrisburg, etc.
AZ the time of the Ottawa cpl
demic, | was engaged in installing
the treatment at Erie, Pa, a town
of $4,000 people. There were over
200 cases and some 125 deaths
from typhoid fever there within a
p,riod of four months, beginning
i'll January 1911. The hypochlo-
rite OF lime treatment put down the
epidemic and has lowered their
death rate wonderfully.

SEES MOVE TO DEFEAT
PARCELS POST PLAN

WASHINGTON. Nov. 80 The
greatest danger OF the parcels post
moNe ment lies in the demand for a
one-cent letter rate, said Senator
Jonathan Bourne. lr chairman of
the senate committee on postofiices
and pcstroads today
Members OF congress are now be-
iug flooded with letters from bank.
ers and Wholesale merchants asking
Tor ope-cent letter postage. The sim
ilarity of the language in the letters
shows conclusively that some inter
ested organization has agitated the
subject
Establishment of the one-Cent let
ter postage would mean reduction
OF the revenues OF the postal ser.
vice
J deem il important therefore that
all advocates OF the parcels post coun.
teract the influence OF this demand
FOR one-cent letter postage by asking
that the parcels post be established
before the question OF reduction in
letter postage is considered
No European country has one
cent letter postage but European
rates on parcels are much less than
ours. The parcel rate is now pro
hibitiNe. burdensome and. compared
with the rates in other countries, a
shame TO our postal system Every
advocate OF n parcels post should
make his voice heard now.
