Danger In Water Supply.

Over n large part OF the country
streams and rivers form the most
available source of water supply, and
in thiniy settled regions they are
usually free from contamination. al
though even here a tan-bark plant
or sawmill may lesson the desirable
ity of the water for domestic usea.
Mines, especially coal mines, may
likewise discharge into streams their
drainage of acid and otherwise poi
luted waters with similar effect, but
the most common source of pollution
is the sewage from towns and cities.
In fact, practically all the larger
streams and even many Of the small
er ones are highly polluted by such
sewage or by refuse from various
manufacturing plants. 1t is trie that
such streams become gradually purl-
fled and under ordinary conditions
may be fairly safe, but the periodic
outbreaks Of typhoid fever tnat oc
cur among the users of their water
are sufficient to indicate the imper-
feet nature of this publication.
Large cities without other access
ible sources will doubtless continue
to use river waters. but these waters
are now, as rule, scientifically I'll
tered before distribution. On most
farms. however, other and safer
sources are available, and stream wa
ters that are known to have received
drainage or sewage from any source
should rot be used for drinking
Many facts regarding suburban and
farm water supplies are discussed III
