How to Purify Water.

The best thing to do with pollut-
ed water is to keep it out of your
mouth and wait until you can get
some pure water. Of course man
might starve to death in some places
following that advice so here is the
next best thing to do. Disinfect
the dangerous water. Here is the
way to do it.
Dissolve teaspoonful of chloride
OF lime in a cupful Of water making
sure that all Jumps are thoroughly
broken up then add three more cup
fuls of water. Stir the mixture we'll
and allow to stand for a few seconds
in order that any solid particles may
settle. This mixture if kept in a
tightly stoppered bottle may be used
for four or five days when new So
luton should be prepared. Add one
teaspoonful Of this milky looking
solution to each two gallon of water
to be purified and stir thoroughly
in order that the weak chlorine
solution will comes in contact with
all the bacteria which may be pre-
sent. This to stand for ten minutes.
This will give approximate one
half part of free chlorine to 1,00O,-
900 parts of water and will effect
ually destroy all typhoid and colon
bacilli or other disease germs in the
water. The water will be without
taste or odor and the trace of free
chlorine will rapidly disappear.
This method is one which is now
recommended in the lierature of the
country. On account Of it's simplicity
effectiveness and small cost it is
particularly well adapted for use by
private families campers and thoes
living in summer resorts.
Water so desinfected is not danger
Gus so far as the chloride of
lime is concerned if allowed to stand
for ten Or fifteen minutes after
applying. The chief danger is that
not enough disinfectant will be ap-
piled to render the water safe in all
instances.

Modern Suites in ThisDelight-
full and Northerly Suburban
Field Particularly Attrac-
tive to Small Families.
BY Herbert L. Angel, Secretary OF the West
chester County Chamber of Commerce.

nv Herbert Il. Angel, Secretary Of the West
chester County Chamber Of Commerce
A predominating feature Of the sub
urban field is the increasing demand Tor
high class apartments throughout lower
Westchester County.
While the majority Of those who seek
homes in the suburbs DO so very largely
for the purpose of securing the advan-
tages of a separate house with GrouhuS'
there is nevertheless a tendency among
those who have rented such separate
houses in the past TO move into apart
ments. particularly where the famileS
are small.
Suburban apartments offer all OF the
advantages and pleasures of life In the
suburbs combined with maximum OF
comfort and a minimum of expense Or
course. the man who desires to have
vegetable garden and keep chickens is
not attracted by suburban apartment
house life. but il is a noticeable fact
throughout the suburbs that there is a
constant trend away from the old IDEA
OF suburban life which was a sort OF
combination OF business in the city ana
farming on a small scale
To-day one may travel through miles
Of streets in the suburban residential dis
tricts without seeing a chicken, and vege-
table gardens are not as common as they
were five or ten years ago.
The advantage OF the suburban apart
ment over a separate house, particularly
from an economical point Of view, are
many. In the small apartment Of four
or five rooms with all modern house
keeping conveniences. it Is unnecessary
TO keep servants and the fact that heat
and water are invariably included in the
rent is another item Of considerable saw
ing
Figuring roughly, man can AFFORD TO
pay from 25 per cent 10 50 per cent more
for the rental of an apartment than the
rental Of a separate house, owing to these
outside expenses, or looking at ii from
the other point Of view, he can secure
the same amount Of room with additional
comforts at a lower total cost
When one considers that it is possible
to reach this lower section Of Westchester
County just as quickly and far more COM
fortably than one can travel from the
business section Of the city TO upper
Manhattan or The Bronx, ii is not TO be
wondered at that these suburban apart
ments find a ready market. And another
item in their favor is that one can secure
much more attractive apartment for
the same money than is possible in New
York City.
OF course there are throughout the
cities of Yonkers. Mount Vernon and New
Rochelle vast number OF semi-business
buildings with fats and apartments on
the upper floors. but il is not this charac-
ter OF building that we have in mind. The
modern suburban apartment house com
pares most favorably with the modern
apartment in the Washington Heights sec
ton of New York in character and ar
rangement with the additional advantage
that in almost every case, there Is mucn
more light and air.

faces, without other restrictions as TO
area than that the least horizontal dimen-
Sions OF any court or area left vacant
for light equal a certain proportion, say
one-tenth, OF the height of the wall OF
walls 10 which it belongs.

Chapter. American Institute of Archi-
tects-Recommended not limit OF height

a law similar to that of the English la"
of ancient lights.
Henry Atterbury Smith, of the New
