GOLF CLUB WATER
 SUPPLY IS EXCELLENT
No Sign of Typhoid in It-AnaIysis
 Made at State Laboratory.

In view of the existence of isolated cases of typhoid fever recently, the officers of the Norwich Golf club de- cided as a precautionary measure, to have the water used at the club grounds analysed Samples of the wa ter were taken by Dr. Rush w. Kim ball, a member of the club, who was commissioned to do so, and they were sent, to the state laboratory at Mid detOwn for analysis. There were two samples taken, one from the artesian well and the other from the spring on the bank of Trading Cove brook On Tuesday Dr. Kimball received re- ports on the samples sent. In regard to the water taken from the spring near the brook. the report says:
 The water is low in mineral con- tent and is soft. In color and other physical characters 1t is ideal The figures for all organic constituents are low and the chlorine is only slightly above the normal which for this re- zion is 2.6. The numbers of bacteria are very low and no suspicious organ isms were found The analysis indi cates that the water is in good condi- tion for general use"
 The report regarding the water taken from the artesian well says:
 This water is low in mineral con- tent and is soft. It has practically no color, sediment or turbidity. The Hgur0S TOT organic contents are dll lOW The chlorine is slightly above the nor mai which for this reason is 2.6 The number of bacteria are low and no suspicious organisms were found. The slight excess of chlorine is not suf- ficient to have much meaning and the analysis indicates that the water is good for general use"
 There was a report a few weeks ago that typhoid had been contracted from the drinking water on the golf grounds as one or two of the members of the club had light cases of the fever This opinion was not upheld by any of the club members, who had used the water as they were aware of the purity of the water. but to allay all apprehension it was thought best to have an analysis m q a

 AFTER FIRE WAS OUT
Autoehemica Went Out on Supposed
 Call Through TeIephone Mixup.

Through a telephone message, mixed up either in the sending or receiving, perhaps both, the autochemieal was given run from the Central station on Wednesday evening a few minutes before 10 o'clock for a fire which did not exist, as it had been put out over an hour before.
 The telephone message that came to the station was taken to mean that there was a chimney fire in the dwell ing house on Boswell avenue across the way from the Andrew Glendennin place at the corner of North Main street. The chemical got underway with promptness, but was hardly out of the house when it was further ex plained over the telephone that the call was not for fire. but was meant to be the Greeneville company reporting that they had been out to a fire at that location and had got back.
 The chimney fire had called the Greeneyille company out about o'clock and they had returned from the fire about g. When they started to make their report an hour later, the central station got it that there was a call for a fire and responded.
