.ANDERS TALKED
ON FILTRATION
CITY ENGINEER GAVE INTELLI-
GENT ACCOUNT OF BUILDING
OF CITY FILTRATION PLANT
TO TRAVELLING MEN TO-DAY AT
COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The parlor of the commercial
club was crowded this noon by
travelling men and other members of
that organization when City Engineer
Frank L. Anders gave an intelligent
address on the construction of the new
municipal filtration plant which he
has built for the city during the pres
ent administration.
City Engineer Anders had blue
prints and charts of the massive en-
gineering work posted on the walls of
the room with which he demonstrated
the possibilities of the great plant
which has been built for the citys
welfare and protection.
Mr.. Anders gave most interesting
talk to the club members and the
travelling men so that the city boosters
on the firing line could give an intelli-
gent description OF the plant on their
trips over the state and in their vari-
GUS territories.
Luncheon was taken by large num-
Der this noon and the men all felt
much benefited by the comprehensive
grasp of the plant which Mr. Anders
gave them. The city engineer is d
graphic speaker and leaves no point
untouched in his discourse SO that
every phase and advantage of the big
pumping station and filtration plant
was fully presented.

alton is perhaps "too much in the

the league, to quote pretty freely from
what others have said Of our work In
commenting on the influence of the

cipal corporations act and a series OF
constitutional amendments designed to
give effect TO the leagues policy of

form of effective city charter, DR.. De-
los r. Wilcox, the franchise expert OF

Hawaiian legislature. It was used by
the Havana Charter commission and
by the Porto Rican Philippine commis-
sions. It has left marked traces in,
the new constitutions of Virginia ana
Alabama, and has formed the basis
for a sweeping amendment to the
Colorado constitution. The charter
commissions OF nearly 200 cities have
used it; 1t has formed the basis for
agitation for charter reforms in as
many more.
Dean Delaney Of All Saints .eathe-

is inclined to feel that social and po-
Iitical reformers Of the league type are
too easy going and optimistic; but
"one soon discovers 1T is all part OF
their method of, social reform--th
method of improving things by ap-

in other men; by assuming that most
people really want good government,
and that even the worst politicians
have their good qualities, to which APP
peal can be made. 1t Is the opposite
OF the method OF denunciation. the
method Of pessimisfn. The method

lips, the child welfare worker, tells a
story to show how systematized work
will usually bring the desired end.
A peddler climbed to the sixth fioor
of an apartment house in an attempt
to sell his wares. The first man he
met he insisted should buy some of
his goods. Finally he made himself
such a nuisance that the unfeeling
tenant of the apartment picked him up
and threw him down the stairs.

took in the situation. When the ped
dler came crashing down to the f,fth
moor this man picked him up and
threw him down the next stairs.
A man standing on the fourth floor
helped the peddler on by throwing him
down the next flight. This continues
until the poor peddler finally landed
on the first door with a crash.
Gee! but they got some system IN
there, he said ruefully. as he picked
himself UP and walked painfully o,,t

Clinton Rogers Woodruff, secretary
OF the National Municipal league, in
The Survey Press Bureau. says:
To speak of a National Municipal
Work" seems to some a contradiction
Of terms, but it is only apparent. 1t
requires but a moments reflection to
realize that the municipal worker III
any. one city should know what the
municipal workers Of other cities are
doing, that the experience of all
should be at the command Of each.
To serve this end has been the aim or
the National Municipal league from
Its inception In 1894.
The National Municipal league has
been an open forum for the prompt
and sympathetic discussion Of all
phases of the city problem and for all
proposed remedies, a careful investi-
gator of the facts as a precedent to
the formulation OF policy, a clearins
house of information, and a factor in
the development of an intelligent and
effective citizenship.
From the beginning the league has
given the widest latitude to discussions,
but has not submitted itself to any
line of policy until after the most
painstaking study and investigat ton.
Many an alleged panacea has been ex-
ploded when subjected to the test In
the leagues annual meeting, while
many an earnest but timid effort has
been developed and strengthened IL
is because of this mingled breadth OF
interest and caution that The National
Municipal classed both among the
leading reform organizations of the
country and among educational So
cieties by The Engineering News. This
publication began thoughtful re-
view of recent federal and state coli
lections of Uniform municipal statis-
tics in this way:
sThanks to the National Municipal
league, the congress of the United
states. acting through the bureau OF
census. and a number OF state legis-
Iatures. acting through various ad-
nainistrativo departments. there is
now being brought together, year BY
year, an increasingly large and valu-
able collection Of municipal statistics.
Follow ing more or less closely the
classification Of the national Municipal
league. these municipal statisticB are
sufiiciently uniform TO afford what has
been needed but lacking for SO long a
time: that is, means for comparing
some OF the many activities OF our
cities.
Not only in the realm Of municipal
accounting and statistics has the
league done important constructive
work; but in the field Of charter re-
vision in all its several phases. in rons-
ination reform, franchise policy, and
civic education, the league has made
important contributions Of widespread
usefulness.

The Nelson Naturopathic institute
has without doubt cured more cases
Of paralysis than any other institute
in the northwest. Here is one Of the
later cases. Miss Nelly Boline, Chris-
tine, NJ. D., has been paralyzed for four
years, she had tried q number Of doc
tors without any benefit, and finally
concluded to try our treatments, when
she came to our institute, Her limbs
appeared more as If they were made
of rubber than limbs of a. human be-
ing BY taking hold of them they
could be moved in any direction, but
without it they were entirely immova
able. She did not have the least cons
troll over them and for all practical
purposes the limbs were dead. She
took treatments for fifteen weeks and
when she left she could use her arms
and hands about as we'll as she ever
could. She could also use her feet
although they were still too weak for
her to walk. When she came she had
not been able to hold a pen or write
a letter for three years and was en-
tirely helpless in every way. She was
very constipated and some times did
not have a movement unless the took
physic, after few treatments her
bowels became regular and continued
so. During her whoel treatment no
medicine was used.

kind which others have called incur

Tennyson's Vanity.

and always endeavored to smooth over
any slight differences between the per-
sons brought before him.

were neighbors and had formerly been
on the best of terms.

Of the new politics" based on the
principle of common sense and busi-
ness methods applied to the functions
Of local government, and a proper re-
gard for the welfare Of the community
as a whole. AS individuals, giving
proof of the strictly non-partisan
character of the league, they repre-
sent all parties, all factions, all inter-
ests Many are republicans; others
are democrats; some are Independents.
They represent the conservative and
the radical elements; they include
high tariff protectionists, low tariff ad-

While in Toledo, o., addressing tho

of the league met q Texas editor who
personally thanked him for some help
the league had given few years pre-
viously, and which had been instru-

community on a career Of improved
government, He also met q Chicago
man who spoke of the part the leagues
municipal accounting work had had in
securing thorough overhauling of
that citys accounts, incidentally saw
ing the city many hundreds of dol
lars; and in a conversation with a
Toledo man, the latter referred to the
great help the league had been in their
local contests In keeping bright the
spark of hope and courage and In
maintaining a high standard of civic
righteousness. AS he boarded the train
to return to his home, he purchased a
Chicago paper, In turning the leaves
Of which he discovered one OF the
leagues syndicate articles
1t is, however. as an inspiring and
educational factor that the league has
performed its greatest and most use
full function. 1t has at all times and
under all circumstances been seeking
to raise the standards OF municipal
government in American cities and to
arouse their citizens to their duties
and opportunities.

about three or four tramps a night. but

to thirty.
