fax used in the manufacture Of linens.
This Is especially true of the linen
fabrics used in the manufacture of
shirts, collars, cuffs, and handker~
chiefs. ~-
There is also no legal safeguard for
the consumer when buying wooden
garments against his getting fabrics
that are half and half Of wool, cotton
or shoddy. There have also been re-
ports Of the use of tin In making UP
weight in these goods.
Silk Is the most aduIterated fabric
of all, the principal method of
"weighting" this fabric being to dye
it in a bath containing a large
quantity of tin in solution. A pound
of raw silk in the degumming process
loses about four ounces in weight. A
commercially pure dye' silk may be
weighted with tin sufficiently to re-
store the four ounces lost. It Is not a
rare thing, however, to have twelve
ounces Of raw silk come from a dye
bath weighing thirty to sixty ounces.
In rare cases this silk has come from
the dyer weighed VI to eighty ounces.
That is why silks frequently g. to
pieces when exposed to pe]rsplration
or strong sunlight. The deterioration
is caused by the crystallizing Of The
particles of tin absorbed by the fibre,
these particles having sharp edges
which cut the fabric to pieces.
Sometimes the argument is heard
that it is impossible to make pure silk
or wooden goods for prices hat will
fit the purse of the majority Of the
buyers. But this is no reason why the
buyer should not know exactly what
he Is getting.

A BIG NATIONAL PROBLEM.

= The United States geological sur
ley food of last spring Independent of
the engineers of the war department,
places the damage done in Indiana
and Ohio at $500, 00O, 900. These off,
eial figures are Of amazing magnitude
and will help the rest Of the country
two states suffered.
: Like the loss from fire, this flood
damage is a dead waste. The recov-
cry from the desolation inflicted has
been marvellous, but back of it all lie
these colossal figures of property
wiped out. How far these and other
untoward financial losses affect the
financial situation OF the country not
even the experts in finance can make
clear.
i The report Of the geological survey
discusses both the causes which led
to the flood and the prevention OF
damage by future foods. The time
will come when enormously expensive
preventive measures will have to be
provided for.
In that work. as this government
report points out, there will need to
be cooperation between the federal
government. states, counties, munich
palities and private interests. The
flood problem is not confined to the
Ohio valley, but is more or less acute
the country over. The problems of
peace are many, and of their financial
magnitude this is a suggestion.

Anarchy exists in that country.
Huerta has wiped out the last sign OF
constitutional government. He has
suspended the constitution and deied
the laws. He has superseded the CON
gress and taken its powers into his
own hands. He has paralyzed the
judiciary, and the judges are resign
ing. He has made himself the state,
with an empty treasury and a doubtful
army. AS he has no power to protect
life and property. other nations must
care for their citizens.

ELECTRICITY IN
THE FACTORY.

Electricity has enjoyed it's greatest
growth and development in our mills
and factories. During the past ten
years the horse power of electric mot
ors in our factories and mills has in
creased from less than 500, 900 to
nearly 100000, until today nearly a
quarter Of the primary power used in
the industries Of the United States is
furnished by electric motors.
Even though a quarter Of the total
industrial power utilized in this coun-
try is electrical the end is not yet.
Conservative estimates from compe-
tent engineers show that fully IS per
cent of the total horse power can be
easily taken over by central stations
during the next five years or so. This
means an addition of more than TO-
000, 900 electrical horse power and an
expenditure in central station con-
struction of $l,875, O0O, 900 for the pro-
duction Of that amount of electricity.
Owing to the fact that the cost of
electrical power has grown less year
by year, with a consequent cheapen-
ing Of factory production, only the
cheapest kind of water power can
compare faVorably with electrical
power in point of economy. Ease Of
control, feXibility of distribution,
safety in operation and many other
vital characteristics of electric power
make it far better for factory use
than any other form of energy.

THE HYPocHLoRrrE TREATMENT

HypochIorite is being Increasingly

Recently obtained data from a num-
Der of cities in the United States and
Canada which have been employing
the hypochroiite treatment for con-
Haute, Cedar Rapids. Montreal.
Grants Pass, Ore, Baudette, Mimi,
Nashville, Cincinnati and Danville,
Ill, show a marked reduction in the

treatment. North Yakima, Wash,

I'LL, Minneapolis, Omaha. Jersey City
and Kansas City, Mo, are among the
cities where a noteworthy reduction

stance, the reported deaths from ty-
phoid fever in the four years 19O7-1911
October to June) numbered, respec-
lively, forty-six, ffty-two, sixty-six,
and sixty-fve. In September, 1911, the
hypochlorite treatment was begun and
June 1, 1912, only twenty eight deaths
were reported In Jersey City the av-
erage death-rate from typhoid for 1905,
1906 and 1907 was 1S.5. while for the
pochlorite, 19O0-1911, It was SO. In
Minneapolis there were t1lirty-nine
deaths in the ten months before hypo-
chIorite, and two deaths in the ten
months Immediately following its use.
Such facts as these establish the high
value that may attach to hypochlorite
treatment of water under proper con-
ditions. While experienced sani-
tartan can regard the use Of this
chemical as a panacea, there is no
doubt that it has added greatly to our
resources for dealing with a, polluted
water-supp1y, particularly under emer-
gency conditions and pending the in
Sta11atiOn of permanent system of
publication. It is unfortunate that
many of the published statements re-
garding the efficacy of the treatment
do not state the amount of hypochlo-
reit used, and in the case of typhoid
statistics do not cover sufficiently
long period to afford an adequate ba-
sis for comparison; but these dehcien-
cies are likely to be remedied in time
On the information now at hand, says
The Journal of the American Medical
Association, there seems reason for
much of the enthusiasm with which
the hypochIorite treatment is now be-
i1aG aEp1ied.
