THRIFT

Some words, homely of them
press. One of these is the quaint
word thrift" 1t signifies so much
of the homely quality of contentment
that it carries an instant appeal to
the person of calm and sober mind.
No greater virtue can an indiyid-
ual or people have than that OF
thrift. In no sense does it signify
close or stingy spirit, but a spirit
that is hurt by the sight of wanton
waste. The thrifty person is never
destructive. By virtue of this quail
ity he is naturally hostile to extrav-
agance in all its forms.
Thrifty people are happy people.
They can well be, for by their own
habit of mind they have robbed ex-
istence of its greatest terror-the
coming of the day of want.
Thrift is productive of simple
habits, of clean bodies and contented
minds, and, applied to people,
makes nations great and powerful.
Without the thrifty there would be
only national bankruptcy.
Out of the savings of the thrifty
come all huge investments, all funds
for great public works and industrial
enterprises. Without thrift there
would be no transportation systems,
nc investments in community or in
dustrial securities, no great and pow
eIful financial institutions.
The prosperity of a nation is
founded on the thrift of its people.
The habit of thrift, cultivated, will
lead to greater prosperity. 1t will
bring to the individual, too, content
and security. 1t is one of the finest
qualities man can acquire.-Seattle

low wells, which are particularly
subject to contamination. Deep
wells are safer, but are not entirely
free from danger of pollution,
The chemist OF the Canada Ely
pertinent Farms, DR.. Frank t.
Schutt, concludes from an examina-
ton of several thousand samples of
water used on farm homesteads in
Canada that probably not more
than one-third of them are pure and
wholesome. Investigations made
by the bureau of plant industry. In
cooperation with the Minnesota
State Board of Health, showed that
OF ~ carefully selected and typical
farm water supplies in Minnesota
mainly we'll waters, 20 were good
and SO were polluted, usually be-
cause of careless or ignorant
management, and generally as a re-
suit of poor location or lack of pro-
lection against surface wash or in
liberation.
The rivers, surface reservoirs, and
cisterns investigated were found to
be polluted to such an extent that it
IL doubtful whether satisfactory sup
plies can be secured for household
use from such sources. In an ex-
animation of the rural water sup
plies in Indiana it has been found
that of the private rural water sup
plies examined 1T were deep wells,
All shallow wells, five ponds, 40
springs, and q cisterns. One hun
dred and sixteen of the deep we'll
waters were of a good quality, As
were bad and 16 doubtful But 1853
of the All shallow we'll waters could
be used, 209 were unequivocally bad,
and 43 were of doubtful quality. A
large percentage of the waters used
by the families in which typhoid
fever had occurred was unequivo-
cally bad.
With the development of the coun-
try, the growth of the population
and the greater congestion in living
centers, the danger of pollution OF
natural water supplies is vastly in
creased. Even wells can be im-
proved and rendered less subject to
pollution if proper methods of drlv-
ing them deeper are employed. The
best safeguard is the education of
the public to the underlying facts of
contamination so that by the appli-
OF danger can be avoided by prop
erty holders and others.

IMPURE WATER ON FARMS

The responsibility for disease due
to polluted water is so often put on
the water supplies Of our large cities
that the conditions in American
rural districts are usually thought of,
if not pictured in the public mind, as
almost ideal. Naturally enough,
the farms which are remote from
areas of congested population seem
to be ideally situated for obtaining
wholesome water. In reality, how
ever, deplorably insanitary condi-
tons as regards the farm water sup
plies prevail widely, II we may be-
lieve state and national goyernm ent
reports. says the Journal of the
American Medical association.
A large proportion of the farm
water supply in the less billy por-
tions of the country where springs
are not abundant comes from shall

After the game the Alumni met in

This is Mrs. Belle McWilliams, who was
crushed. How the exaggerated stories of

caught under the walls came to be creu-

He carried her across the street The
little girl then told him where she thought

two women He released them instantly.
Both were hurt. The news of the disaster

The immediate result was a tremendous
pressure for excitement converging on
