Purifying Drinking Water.

A simple method of purifying
any water for drinking purposes,
by G.. G. Nasmitb, Phi. D., and R.
r. Graham, M. B.. publisher in
tho British Army Medical Jour-
nal:
A stock solution of chlorine
may be readily made by rubbing
up q teaspoonful OF chloride of
lime in q teacup with . little wa
ter to a thin mixture free from
Jumps. This should then 10 made
up to q cupful and diluted with
three more oupfuls of water to
make the required stock solution.
This will keep for . week whom
tightly corksd.
A teaspoonful Of this stock solu-
tion should be added to each two
gallon pail of drinking water re-
quired, thoroughly mixed and al
lowed to stand for . few minutes.
This will give a to IS parts of free
chlorine to q million parts of va.
tor, and in 10 minutes will destroy
alr tvnhoid and colon h.c;il;
other dysentery-producing organ
isms in the water. Moreover, all
traces of chlorine will rapidly dis.
appear.

To show how nearly alike the
eggs of various domestic fowls are
in respect to composition, the fol.

business and professional men of Wash

Only One Uniform.
The glitter and dash of some of the
receptions given in Washington was
lacking, for the simple reason that the
only uniform to be seen was that of
Colonel Harding. There was no mere
curiosity to see notables last night.
Everyone who was there was actuated
by one motive, to pay a compliment 20
three men whom he thought deserved
the compliment. and whom he believes
will govern the District of Columbia
wisely and well for the next few years.
The receiving line was established a
little after o'clock in the small ball
room. Here the guests were introduced
to Chairman of the District Commis-
sioners Newman by John Joy Edison,
chairman of the reception committee.
AS they passed along little further. E.

President Wilson has intimated that
Jimmy" Lynch, head of the Interna-
tional Typographical union, is to be
named for public printer. If he does
take the place there will be less talk
ing in the. public printing Office at
Washington than ever before in it's his
tory, for Lynch is known as tho pos
SCISSOR of ability to keep his mouth
shut so great that it is considered
absolutely dangerous.
He smiles and smiles and says moth
ing and looks nothing when he Is on
business concerning the interests OF
the $4,000 printers in the organiza-
ton. 1t has been his habit to speak
when the time came, and to such good
effect that the international Typogra-
.phical union has grown in fourteen
years of his management, from an
empty treasury and $1,000 members to
an old-age pension system and full
treasury, to say nothing of $5,000,000
spent to win an eight-hour day.

ACCIDENT AT
BRIDGE INJURIES CAR

A serious accident was narrowly
ayerted last evening on the Market
street crossing when an automobile col
lided with train Of freight cars
switching on the Milwaukee track.
Foreman Loring was in charge of the
train The auto was owned and driven
by E. P. Barton and was coming slow
ly toward the tracks. The occupants
were watching what was supposed to
be only the switch engine some dis
lance up the track, but which proved to
be a short string Of cars. The intense
darkness prevented the backing cars
from being seen until the end car was
passing Market street. Mr.. Barton
was able to turn the auto and thus
saved the lives of the occupants. AS
each car passed, the trucks dragged the
wheel of the automobile which was
only prevented from being turned over
by the raised cement walk on the ap-
proach of the bridge. The front OF the
automobile was badly damaged. The
occupants Of the car state that there
was no light on the end Of the train.
