Degradation of Bovhood

Absence of the proper statutes In this
state to provide penalties against the Civ
ing of intoxicants to minors stirred the
convention of the Burlington county W.
G. T. U. in session at Medford On We'd
nesday. New Jersey laws provide rigid
rules against the sale of intoxicants to
customers under 81 years of age, but re-
cent investigation of cases by the county
Y. M. G. A. and Sheriff Jordan have
proved that the authorities are powerless
to punish men who, it has been shown,
for the sport of seeing youngsters drunk,
furnished free liquor for beer parties.
Many delegates Joined In discussion of
the subject, and resolution was finally
passed. urging that the situation be made
an issue in the next legislative campaign
and that every county union in the state
be asked to demand pledge of legislative
candidates that they will support law TO
prevent further easy degradation of the
boyhood of New Jersey.
Another resolution bitterly condemne ed
the ''blasphemous parody of the Apostle
Greed as read on the floor of the Senate
by Senator John Sharp Williams" and
declared 1t was Infamous sacrilege.

Another Water Report.

B. F. Fl. Shreve, president of the Noun
Holly Water Company, has shown US {
report of the condition Of the water
which we give in full:
Philadelphia, May 6, 1919
Mr.. B. F. Haywood Shreve,
Mount Holly Water Company.
My dear Mr.. Shreve:
Specimen of water received May first In
cork stoppered bottle.
Quantities from O5 C. C. up to 10 c. C,
were inoculated into neutral red bile salt
dextrose bouillion and incubated at 80
for three days failed to show any reaction
denoting the presence of colon bacilli OF
any other intestinal bacteria.
Therefore, from the psychological ex-
animation made / can recommend this as
perfectly safe drinking water.
Yours very truly,
Dr. Randle G. Rosenberger,
Professor of Hygiene and Bscteriology.
In addition to the above report there has
been an analysis by the State Board of
Health which shows that sample of raw
water taken on the Goth of April con-
tanned slight traces of pollution, but that
there was no B. coli communis in the
sample of filtered water taken on the same
date.
Board 1t may not be amiss to say that for
mer reports from the same body were ia
vorable, yet the president of the Water
Company says there was something wrong
which the State Board failed to discover.
There Is no attempt to dispute the correct
ness of either of the above reports. That
they may have been Just as reported on
the dates named there will not be any at
tempt to deny, but what are the conditions
todayH 1t has been shown that the filter
has refused to do It's work on previous &C.
casions. Is 1t working today?
President Shreve is naturally indignant
that the outbreaks of typhoid fever should
be laid at the doors of his corporation.
He says that the milk supply, drinking
water at other places, and many other
things might be responsible. That is true
but we have indisputable evidence that
the majority, if not all, of the victims of
typhoid fever drank the water supplied
by the Water Company after passing
through filter, without being boiled.
The latest case, now In the hands of a
physician, is one where the patient would
not drink boiled water.
Former Senator Pfeiffer has offered to
produce artesian water in quantity and
quality sufficient to satisfy any one, or no
sition not considered by the Water Com
pany2 If half the energy expended in
getting analyses and trying to defend its
position were expended in other directions
the people would be better satisfied.
We want what the charter calls for
pure drinking water, water that is above
suspicion all the time, not stuff that re-
quires a weekly analysis, and which ought
to be analysed two or three times daily to
ensure safety; not water that has to be
boiled to make it absolutely safe. We
want pure water. Maybe we will get what
we want some day, but in the mean time
do not be lulled into supposed security by
spasmodical reports of purity. Boil your
water.

Madrid. Jan. 15.-The Spanish cabl.

Alfonso as to the ACCESSIBILITY of COM

the rioters, who murdered Judge and

and that the accused men were impos.

raised false issue. accusing the gov.
eminent of all sorts of tortures and
cruelties towards the prisoners. Con.
sequently the agitation spread with
great rapidity and caused grave con-
Germ to Premier Canalejas.
The rioters were first tried before a
military court last month and six Of
them were sentenced to death. The
case then went to the supreme council
of war and marine for revision, and
the council condemned all seven
prisoners to death. Numerous petit.
tions in favor of reprieve have been
received since the first trial and 1t was
evident that the whole nation strongly
desired that the men should not suffer
the death penalty. Premier Canalejas
advised the king to exercise his pre-.
rogative in the case Of six Of the
prisoners, but held that the seventh,
Chato Chuqueta, should be made an ex.
ample of in the interests of law and
order.
The agitation had by this time
reached formidable proportions, the
Barcelona radicals issuing decree
calling for general strike II Chuqueta
was executed. The premier in his own
words then realized that the exclusion
of Chuqueta from reprieye was po-
litical blunder, and. learning that the
king was Of the same opinion. he went
with his colleagues to the palace,
where the king declared that he IA
vored reprieve for Chuqueta.
Premier Canalejas said he deferred
to his majesty's judgment and would
prepare a decree to that effect without
delay. but considering, as he did. that
the ministry had made mistake, 1t
was his duty to hand in his resigna.

consider his determination, but he re-
