am now resident at South Side
hotel. Here l noted a great deal Of
dark precipitate in the drinking
water. Having Zeiss microscope
with me examined the sediment and
found it to be heavy algal growth.
This is the second place l have found
such water in Chicago. Though in
itself not harmful to the drinker,
water containing this can well harbor
other plants or other growth that is
detrimental. The health department
should look into this matter-F. A.

Tie top hss ceased It's spinning
And the little train of tin
Irwrecked upon the carpet
But his heart 10 glad Within
The teddy bear is armless
And the soldiers made Of lead
Are piled in many Fragments
Where their feet no longer tread:
The little gun il apIintered
And The WheeIbarrow is at rest
But . little lad Is sleeping
With glad dream in his breast
Their glory has departed.
They are shorn Of paint and sheen;
The Are engine wabbles
And the building blocks csreen;
The picture books are tattered:
And the skates have lost strap
But the silence OF the twilight
Rocks to rest happy chap.
