WHY PLANT TREES IN IDAHO.

Our history and our literature
alike abound in reference to trees
We have but to recall the Charter
Oak. the Washington Elm. the
Spreading Chestnut Tree, and
the Church of Berkeley Manor be
meath its shade Of elm and oak
in order to see how great a part
the trees have played in the minds
Of those who would record our
early struggles for liberty, or en-
rich our literature.
Yet we cannot sing the praises
of all the trees that have blessed
us. In fact, very few Of us have
a proper appreciation Of our real
debt to trees until we give the
matter serious thought. Alas, how
many of us, as we go back in
thought to the old home in the
East, have mental pictures Of
stately old trees, or beauti-
full groves there. These we sadly
miss in our new homes in the great
young State of Idaho 1t is true
that our soil is fertile and that
the climate is such that we may
we'll boast of our crops in both
quality and yield, but our homes,
in the southern part of
the State. are sadly in need of
to make them more at
tractive-mOre homelike. AS we
think of the thousands of homes

HOW A PURE WATER SUP
PLY SAVES HUMAN LIVES

No more convincing proof OF the
value in terms of human lives Of
a pure water supply could be
found than the charts reproduced
in the May number Of Popular Me-
chanics Magazine that indicate the
falling off ia the typhoid death
rate In many cities after purify
ing methods were applied TO the
water supply furnished their citl-
zens. The charts accompany the
second Of a series of articles by
Dr.. Allan Mclaughlin, who Is one
of the foremost authorities on this
subject. Speaking of the source
of public water supply, DR.. Nc
Laughlin says:
''All water comes from the atmOs-
phere by condensation or precIpl-
tation in the from of rain or
snow. fog or dew This water fall
ing upon the earth becomes the
source of our supplies. Ground
water is water which has passed
through the natural filter of the
earth's surface, and is made avail
able for our use by wells or
springs. Surface water is the Wa
ter in ponds. lakes and streams,
and while it receives some ground
water from springs it also re-
ceives the run-Off from the wa
tershed, following rains and thaws.
Although the rain or melted snow
in washing the earth's surface
may become contaminated with
the germs of disease. the weaker
species of these, whose normal
habitat is the human intestine in
passing through the upper layers
of the soil meet the soil bacteria
and in the fierce battle for exls-
tence soon succumb to their hard
Ter brethren. Therefore ground
water is in reality naturally filt-
cred and purified. For this rea-
son, in general it is a safer source
of supply than surface water.
There are certain very impor-
tant qualifications to this general
statement. Ground water from
limestone formations or when it
is drawn from shallow wells where
soil pollution is intense may be
dangerous. On the other hand
surface water, though subject 10
contamination from sewage and the
washings of the land surfaces fol-
lowing rains and thaws. may be
safe on an uninhabited or sparse
~ inhabited watershed, especially
if prolonged storage in natural
reservoirs is provided.
Surface water as a source Of
public water supplies may be di-
vided into impOunding reservoirs,
ponds and small lakes, great lakes
and rivers. In contrast with the
ground-water supplies, the surface
water supplies generally furnish an
abundance of water but are usual
ly contaminated. The upper layer
of soil with which surface water
is in contact is rich in bacteria
and a part at least of the sewage
and wastes from inhabitants OF
the watershed also finds its way
into the streams. The degree Of
pollution will depend upon the
population on the watershed The
ideal watershed is uninhabited and
heavily forested. Such a water
shed is rarely available in this
country"

! he Lions Story.

When lions were still numerous and
easily observed in southern Africa
they were sometimes seen instructing
one another in voluntary gymnastics
and practicing their leaps, making a
bush play the part of the absent game.
A hunter tells the story of a lion
which had missed a zebra by miscalcu-
lating the distance repeating the jump
several times for his own instruction.
Two of his comrades appearing while
he was engaged In this exercise, he
led them around a rock to show them
how matters stood and then, return
ing to the starting point, completed
the lesson by making final leap. The
animals kept roaring during the whole
of the curious scene-"talking togeth-
err" as the hunter who watched them

Exercise and Health.

There was q bank clerk who saw the
men of his own age losing health year
by year through oyerwork. indoor Sc
dentary life and lack of daily exercise.
He saw them growing yellow and fab
by and unfit and the spectacle didn't
attract him. He decided that success
had better come late or even not nj
all rather than at the price of a ruined
body. Health became to him the
choicest of the mercies, the best of
Iife's comrades. Up and away the per.
son in health can dash-tO another Job,
to another cline, master of his fate.
III health is n chain that ties to the
dreariness OF what Is nearest at hand
After a youth OF weakness and fatigue
the man was happy in finding that an
hour Of exercise O. day changed the
aspect of the outer world and removs
ed him for all time from the ranks OF
the unfit-Colliefs.

Instances are also found where a
