DANGERS FROM CONTAMINATION
or WATER SUPPLY.

over a large part OF the country
streams and rivers form the most
available source OF water supply.
and In thln'y settled regions they
are usually free from contamina-
ton. although even here a tanbaTk
plant or sawmill may lessen the de-
STABILITY OF tho water for domestic
purposes. Mines. especially coal
mines. may likewise discharge into
streams their drainage OF acid and
otherwise polluted waters with SINH
lar effect. but the most common
source OF pollution IL the sewage
from towns and cities.
In fact. practically all the larger
streams and even many OF the
smaller ones are highly polluted by
such sewage or by refuse from yarl-
Gus manufacturing plants. Il ID
true that such streams become
gradually purified and under ordl'
nary conditions may be fairly safe,
but the periodic outbreaks OF ~
phold fever that occur among the
users OF their water are sufficient
to indicate the imperfect nature OF
this publication.
Large cities without other acces.
sible sources will doubtless con,
tinue to use river waters. but these
waters are now. as rule. scicnti-
flcally filtered before distribution
On most farms. however. other and
safer sources are available. and
stream waters that are known "a
have received drainage or sewag,
from any source should not be used
for drinking
Many facts regarding suburban
aud farm water supplies are dis
oussed In Bulletin 1856 OF the United
States geological survey. which ha,
Just been printed and can now be

QUARANTINE AMENDMENT
California Now Only Prescribes For
Nursery Stock Shipments.

According to a dispatch from Sac
ramento, Gala. State Horticulturist
Cook Of California has authorized
an amendment to the alfalfa weevil
quarantine now in effect against
Utah, Idaho and Wyoming. The
amendment provides that no nursery
stock from any Of these states may
be received in California unless
properly wrapped in excelsior or
some other mat which would not
contain the pest. The quarantine
now exists against alfalfa hay and
seed. bees, beehives and nursery
stock.
]. Edward Taylor, Utah state hor-
ticulturist, declares that the new
amendment Is absurd, since the al
falfa weevil may be easily carried
on any other matter as upon nursery
stock. II travels, he says, on cars.
passenger and freight. in baggage
and otherwise, and cannot be ex-
pected TO be kept out OF California
in the way Of quarantining nursery
stock.
Taylor explains, however, that lit
tie nursery stock is shipped from
Utah to California and therefore the
quarantine will have little material
effect upon this state.

Continued use OF distilled water
reduces the strength OF the physical
organism. because. while distilled
water Is chemically pure and free
from germs. IL contains nothing but
oxygen and hydrogen. The indls-
pensable mineral salts are left be-
hind during the process OF distilla-
tion. AS long as life persists in the
body the elimination Of mineral
salts goes on and this means the
rapid Generalization of the organ

Epidemics Of soyCa1Ied Infuenza.
Since the pandemie of influenza In
1sSslsO, when within one year the
whole civilized world was afficted
with the contagion, there have been
lesser outbreaks at irregular inter-
walls in most centers OF population
These epidemics OF sore throaA and
bronchitis have usually been called
influenza or ala grippe because of
the characteristic CONSCIOUSNESS Of
the infection, the persistence OF
symptoms and the tendency to pros
tration and mental depression. But
this diagnosis has not been satisfac-
torily confirmed by bacteriologists.
In the great pandemic, Pteifter and
Others found in the. nasal and
bronchial secretions, pure sultures
of the influenza bacillus in ali un
complicated cases." Subsequent re-
ports seem to indicate that the in
auenza bacillus is a common invader
OF the air-passages in a large group
of other diseases, notably whooping-
cough, phthisis and measles. There
is no evidence that this bacillus is
more prevalent in the local ept-
denies of influenza than in the or
binary catarrhal infections.
a recent epidemic of septic core
throat" in Boston was studied by
Richardson and others. They traced
the contagion to infected milk. A
study of an induelEa epidemic
among children in Berlin and of the
recent epidemic of sore throat in
Chicago have demonstrated as the
exciting agent a germ of peculiar
characteristics different from the
influenza germ. The Journal of the
American Medical Association points
out that these three epidemics. oc-
curing during the last year in
widely separated communities, have
all been caused by the same germ
1t is to be hoped that in the future
such epidemics in various cities VIII
be more systematically and carefully
Investigated.

In recording the opening OF bids

'eThe spick and shovel to be used

office. They are Of solid silver, with
ebony handles, and were made by
Hubbard and Company; of this city,
at the suggestion of Councilman
Babcock. They were presented yes
terday afternoon by John j. Brooks,
secretary of the company. on the
shovel blade is a suitable inscription
with the names of the mayor. the

why this senseless extravaganza
of a solid silver shovel and pick
with ebony handles, which, after q
brief display lie useless, perhaps
hidden, forever? why not a steel
shovel that could be used forthwith
by one of the men who do the real
