PURIFYING WATER.
Chemical Discovered That Will Hide
the Taste of Chlorine.

Just when the chemists were con.
graduating themselves that they had
largely solved the problem of pure
drinking water 10y their idea of doctor
ing wafer with chorinatcd lime 10 kill
germs, protests have been increasing
in many cities that the water tasted of
the chlorine, and they have had to go
to work again on the problem. Now
they have discovered way of putting
more chemicals into the water to kill
the taste of the chlorine after the
chlorine has killed the germs.
Millions of Americans drink water
that has been chlorinated, more than
400 cities using this method of i'm
proving the river or lake water they
use. Usually the amount of chemical
spread through the water Is so small
that no one can taste il, but the pro.
portion varies with local conditions,
and there are times when much larger
amounts are used. If more than seven
pounds Of the chemical is used I'm q
million gallons OF water, the most sen.
sltivc palateS begin TO discover the
taste and complaints are telephoned
to the water department. With every
additional pound Of the chemical come
a score more Of telephone protests.
One way 10 get rid of the taste is 10
store the water before sending it into
the mains, but this is not usually prac-
ticable. and chemists have been seek
ing another remedy. Now chemist
of the sanitary district of Chicago re-
ports that a drug called thiosulphate
will hide the taste of the chlorine aft
or the chlorine has had few minutes
time to kill the germs. His prescription
calls for one part of thiosulphate TO
two parts Of chlorinated lime. To
prove that the additional chemical is
harmless he points out that thiosul-
plate is used in medicine. and that in
order TO get dose the size doctor
would order for patient a person
would have to drink about $40 gallons
OF the treated water.

NO PROMISE OF

Harvard Has Made No Agreement
So Far Says BarteIme

Ann Arbor, Mich, Jan. 21.--The re-
port that there exists between the
athletic associations of Michigan and
Harvard an understanding that the
crimson team will journey west to
meet the maize and blue on Ferry field
after the Wolverines have performed
in the stadium at Cambridge for two
years, is pipe dream pure and SIM
PIE, according to Athletic Director
Philip G.. Bartelme, the one man who
should know.
That Harvard will decide to come
west within the next two or three
years is the fondest nope of the Mich
igan Athletic association, of course,
and every effort will be made to bring
this about. but there has been no dis :
cussion OF this question at all be-
tween the two schools Up To this time.
Harvard may at this time be consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY OF side tracking
the old custom of .. close at home
games, but if she is Michigan has MOI
been let in on the confidence. Accord
ing to officials of the Michigan Ath-
lctic association, the question of a
game with Harvard or Ferry field in
1916 will not he taken up until after
the game IN Cambridge on oct. p.
Mchigans showing in that game is
expected To he such tina. Harvard will
agree To the western trip after Mich
