SEWAGE DISPOSAL AND BAD
nn0RG

While there is no reason to suppose
that bad smells are in themselves in
furious to health, the prevention o.
I offensive putrefactive processes must
always remain one of the chief aims Of
sewage disposal systems. Often, in
deed, the only problem sewage disposal
presents to municipality is the2avoid-
ance OF nuisance. Under certain con
ditions this may, be accomplished by
diluting the sewage with sufficiently
large volume Of oxygen-containing wat
er. The discharge Of sewage into the
water Of a.large lake or river is hence
often sufficient to prevent a nuisance;
on the other hand, such a practice may,
be fraught with great danger to the
public health if a public watersupply
is derived from the lake OF river in
the neighborhood of the point Of sew
age discharge
During the past few years many spe
ciaf processes for the direct or indirect
oxidation Of sewage impurities have
been experimental with and have been
used under practical conditions. Inter
mittent sand-filters, contact beds,
sprinkling-flters and numerous other
devices have each been thought to pos
sess special advantages and to lead to
avoidance or at least to intimidation
Of nuisance. Looking at the results
SO far obtained it cannot be said that
actual certainty in this field of expert
neatation las yet been reached. At
the same time it may reasonably be as
serted that it is possible to-day to
treat large volumes Of sewage much |
more expeditiously and with much less
offense than it was few years ago.
Several methods are now available,
says The Journal of the American Med
ical Association, by which sewage can
be disposed Of on large or small
scale without the production Of objec
tionable odors, and also that the choice
of method must be determined by al
study Of local conditions. 1t is not pos
sible to settle a sewage disposal prob
lem offhand with any universally appli-
cable formulas Each case should bel
studied by an expert or body of ex-
perts with regard to local conditions
and local requirements. Only in this
way can Notifying and costly mistakes
be avoided.

When making sweet croquettes add
little sugar to the crumbs in which

MANY MODES IN FAVOR
ONE MAY CHOOSE ONES OWN
STYLE IN HAiRDREssiko.
That II Shall Be Becoming 10 the Only
Point Of importance-Eaeh Wom-
an Must Exercise Judgment
In the Matter.

Just what Is coming next in hair
dressing 1t Is impossible to tell.
Maids are still parting the hair de-
murely in the middle. but the little
biscuits" across the back of the head
appear to be passing into the realm of
forgotten fashions. The braid wound
about the head, and the Psyche knot
at the back. helped out with a few
puffs. appear to solve the problem
(which is Just now engaging many
minds) for a few. The small pompa-
dour. light fringe across the fore
head and five or six short curls across
the back Of the head. hanging from q
nat chignon. is a reliable style which
comes to the rescue Of the hairdresser.
The chignon may be braid coiled
about the crown, or coils Of lightly
twisted hair or the figure arrange
ment. Things are unsettled and in
the experimental stage. No style has
yet appeared which has made itself
decidedly felt.
In the meantime. one may follow
ones inclinations. adopt the style that
is most becoming and spend tho time
