Mr.. +. J. Button, Foreman of the
Grand Jury: We, your committee on
county buildings, recommend that the

moved into the office now occupied by
the county surveyor and a part of
the room formerly used as the county
Jail be converted into suitable
vault for the use of the county re-
eorder. and the balance of said room
be fitted as private Office for the
use of the district attorney.
awe, your committee, also appoint
ed to inspect county buildings in
spected the county high school and
we recommend that the toilets and
lavatories be kept in a much more
sanitary condition than we found
them, and recommend that the proper
authorities see that this is rigidly en-
forced.
"We visited the county hospital
and found everything kept in a neat
and sanitary condition.
1--WE also found everything around
the building in a neat condition and
think that the superintendent de
serves credit for the way in which the
hospital is kept.
"We recommend that the pest

can take care of it.

county buildings in fair condition.
"We further recommend that the

DEMOCRATS FUSS
HObSOn Attacks Underwood in
Speech in the House.
Accuses Leader of Being a Tool
of Wall Street.

Washington. Oct. 13.-Representa-
tive Hobson launched a hot attack
against the senatorial campaign OF
Democrat Leader Underwood in the
support of Underwood's presidential
candidacy at the Baltimore con-
VentiOn was obtained under false pre-
lenses. Hobson, himself candidate in
the present Alabama contest, referred
to printed reports of a recent speech
in which he charged that Mr. Under
wood was the tool of Wall street and
liquor interests and read from the
senate investigation of campaign con-
tributions the testimony of Senator
Bankhead, containing the record of
a contribution of $4,000 from Thos.
F. Ryan and Bankhead's statement
that Underwood had not known who
financed his campaign.
Had l known" shouted HObsOn,
that Thomas Fortune Ryan, the man
whom Mr.. Bryan rebuked and named
before the Baltimore convention and
accused of being the tool of Wall
street, had financed the major part of
the campaign of oscar w. Underwood
I not only would not have supported
him, but l would have fought him and
what is more, he never would have
been the choice of the people of Ala
hanna. The support of the people of
Alabama, for Mr.. Underwood for pres
ident was obtained under false pre-
lenses and l here declare that their
support of him for the United States
senate shall not be obtained under
similar false pretenses."
Underwood, on his feet at once was
loudly cheered by Democrats and Re
publicans as he was recognized. The
majority leader first referred to Hob
sons published speech and said he had
been waiting to answer it, when he
could look Mr.. HObsOn in the face"

Il would like the gentleman" Mr..
Underwood continued turning toward
Hobson. Ito say here what he said in
his Alabama speech and whether he

Hobson. L read the testimony I have
Just read from the campaign contribu-
ton hearing and l assumed that what
Senator Bankhead said was true-that
MIR. Underwood did not know his cam
paign was being financed by Wall

interests" Mr.. Underwood demanded.

That water absolutely pure is dan
gerous to the human system is an
odd piece of information just given to
the world by group, OF surgeons OF
the French navy who have been In
yestigating the causes or ill-health
among their sailors. Having pondered
deeply on the subject and eliminated
every other cause, they have come TO
the conclusion that the chemically
pure water that Is served TO the men
Is solely responsible for the sickness
they have been investigating.
The curious findings Of the surgeons
are based on a very plausible theory.
In fact, scientists whose attention has
been called to them. without further
investigation, are satisfied to endorse
the statements purely on facts.
Water. as most people know, Is q
combination OF oxygen and hydrogen.
To these are added whatever mineral
salts exist in the earth through which
the water flows. And, also, to these
are added the various germs that
might get into ihe water. In countries
where certain germs live in the
ground the water found Is almost sure
TO be full Of such germs. Thus In
China and India and other sections OF
the Orient the germs OF amoebic dys-

drop OF fresh water and II Is necessary

but the oxygen and hydrogen. II has
been found that the organs OF the hui
man body need the mineral salts they

These salts serve many purposes,
not the least OF which lies in the
clearing out or killing of Of certain
germs that find their way into the
organs through breathing or the food

through the food and breathing. The
result of drinking water that has been

erably lessened leaving the system
