Protecting the
Water Supply

beneficial results have been obtained iL
| many municipalities that it has become
a popular thing to call in the physicians
| Of the United States public health service
to aid in diagnosing the ills of CON-
| munity.
| Quite frequently the service responds
| to call to investigate the water supply
and in every instance recommendations
are made which, when carried out. result
in greatly improved health conditions
Acting upon the invitation Of the state
board of health of North Carolina and
the mayor of Wilmington. the public
health service a short time ago made a
careful survey of the water used by the
people of Wilmington, with the result thai
the North Carolina city may go farther
away for its future water supply.
Wilmington gets her water from the
Cape Fear river, which passes her door
The waterworks intake is located about
one and one-half miles above the center
of population of the city. The sewers OF
the city discharge into the river at va
rious points along the water front, and a
considerable portion of the eastern sec
! ton of the city drains by sewers into a
creek at point shortly above the water
works intake. The water is filtered be-
fore being used.
The above facts were determined by
the public health service men by brief
trip of inspection. Then came the con-
illusions based on further study The ex-
perts found that not only was the sewage
from above the waterworks intake pol
luting the water supply, but also the sew
age from below the intake. Cape Fear
river is a tidal river and the federal doc
tors found that some of the water which
passes the intake during flood tide had
come from point three miles below. Al
. the time of the investigation the city was
planning to stop the pollution of the river
from above the intake and this action
was warmly commended by the federal
investigators. While the filtering of the
water is approved and while under nor
NAL working conditions water can be
rendered perfectly safe and satisfactory
from hygienic standpoint, the sanitary
experts declare that the plant must be
run at all times at its highest possible
efficiency.
"A filter plant, however perfect, is
never an absolute guaranty of protection
against a polluted water supply" says
Prof Earle B. Phelps of the govern
ment's hygienic laboratory. who made the
report. I'm Lawrence. Mass. in 1899. a
rather serious outbreak Of typhoid fever
resulted from the accidental failure OF
the water plant, and at Philadelphia
WATERFOWL, Me-, and other places seri-
GUS results have followed similar break
downs 1t cannot be denied that the use
of a polluted water is always attended
with a certain amount Of danger and
every effort should be put forth to secure
as pure a water as is reasonable and
feasible"
In the solution of Wilmington's water
and health problem the experts discuss
the advisability of the city engineer
going farther up stream and obtaining a
supply of pure water. It is understood
that the recommendations along this line
are to be carried out at once

propagation of modern ideas in the casure;

mences to show itself. The fundamental
contradiction which exists between de-
mocracy and military organizations is
manifest. The marine was 'sabotte' by
NM Pelletan, Thomson and their emu
lators, and hence it fell from its second
place to the fourth in a few years.
The republic appeared, according to Mr..
Chatterton-Hill, to have improved greatly
after the alarm at Agadir There followed
the election of NJ. Poincare. the ministry
of Barthou, the vote of the three years
law. And this was only Il passing
change. Soon after. writes the critic. the
fall of the Barthou cabinet confirmed all
that he had said about the instability
of the republican regime, of the inn
potency of the president, of the incom-
patibility between the republic and the
national defense, and the absolute lack
of conference which has been manifested
