 II am told that the songs and other amusements of the evening were in tended and regarded as fun. What are We to think of officers of the army and navy of the United States who think it fun to bring their off ciaI superiors into ridicule, and the policies of the government which they are sworn to serve with unquestion- ing loyalty into contempt?
 If this is their idea of fun. what is their idea of dUtyo If they don't hold their loyalty above all silly efferV essences and childish wit. what about their profession do they hold sacred2
 My purpose, therefore. in admin istering this reprimand is to recall the men who are responsible for this lowering of standards to their ideals to remind them of the high con- science with which they ought to put duty above personal indulgence, and think of themselves as responsible men and trained soldiers even while amusing themselves as diners out.

Chemist Hayward, Saturday morning
"Of course there is apt 10 be tenn

temporary pollution is always dan
gerous-more dangerous. perhaps,
than constant pollution. In constant
pollution, people are on their guard. y
Colon bacilli are being carefully

not make typhoid fever. They simply

In quantities In the water
The muddy water is caused by
breaking up OF ice in the lakes, from
Superior down. and through shallow
Lake ST. Clair. The ice, driven by
high water, and high winds, packs,
dives, and is driven across the lake
bottom like a high power scoop
shovel Melting snow and ice on the
shores carry their portion OF surface
dirt into the lakes. Then come the
driving rains. to add 10 the collection.
The lakes and rivers become one mass
OF muddy water.
In this muddy water there Is one
great danger-typhoid. Fears OF an
army OF destroying germs are false
fears Scarlet fever germs, diphtheria
germs, smallpox germs and such do
not Turk in the muddy water.
Nor do colon bacilli, which are the
object OF the constant search OF the
experts, cause typhoid. The human
body, and every animals body, con-
tains swarms of colon bacilli. in the
alimentary tract The presence OF
colon bacilli In the water indicates.
not that the mud Is generating typhoid
for drinkers Of the water, but that
the waste matter from humans and
animals, with possible typhoid germs
in 1t. has become deposited ia the
