The High Cost of Water.

from the Yale Review.
In one item at least the cost of living
has been increased out of all reason
,ure water Our fathers found il
everywhere to be had for the taking
but modern sanitation has befouied
every stream, poisoned every well and
rendered every spring an object OF sus-
picion. If there be moss-coVered
bucket left anywhere, it would have
to be sterilized before using Untold
millions have been spent to give cities
and towns pure water, and after We
have paid the resulting taxes we are
warned by boards of health to boil the
water before drinking. The fever we
get in the autumn we are told we
brought with us from the country.
where the water is only less dangerous
than the milk Usually a city draws its
water from the same stream in which
1t deposits its sewage, with a shrug for
the towns below, and a curse for those
above. In the summer of 1913 fish. by
some miSchance, found itself in the Pas
sale river and tried to escape by jump
ing. The event was SO extraordinary
that it was soberly chronicled on the
front pages of the New York papers.
Yet there was time, not SO many years
ago, when this stream supplied much of
the food for the people who lived on it's
banks. We pay from 10 to IL cents a
gallon for water with a modest pedi-
gree, but a high-class certificate of pur-
ity costs us 40 cents, if we return the
jug. The man who gets this price for
water is admired for his Yankee
shrewdness. while the man who sup
plies US with refined kerosene at less
than a third of this price Is deemed
worthy of fine and imprisonmen The
war tariff of 1864 put a duty on mineral
waters, but this tax was taken off in
1872 The Mckinley bill of 1890 re-
stored the duty. but the democratic bill
of 1894 made mineral waters free again.
The Dingley bill OF 1897 restored and
increased the duty. which the Payne
Aldrich bill again increased, while the
Underwood bill reduced the taX leav-
ing ii at about the level OF the McKinley
tariff. How this was accomplished
those that know are not likely to tell!

One of the odd little downtown corners

to ST. James Roman Catholic Church for

Some of the little East Side corners
formed like this one and of about the

Origin of the Argentine Flag.

From the Westminster Gazette
Mr.. Fraser. in telling OF the origin oil
the Argentine flag says: The emphatic
patriotism .f the American is tepid along
side the hot-booded nationality of Ar
gentina. 1t is daily inculcated in the
schools; the blue-and-white striped flag
is honored on every occasion. When the

No Uniformity in Design.

There is no beauty without symmetry.
and therefore all the designs l have pre-
pared have symmetrically arranged orna-

sire, however, is to create something
new. and in every way different from and

Shape and Size Original.

The only thing that is original in most
of our skyscrapers is their shape and
size. and this is more the doing OF the
engineers and constructors than of the
architects. Most of the old laws of archi-
lecture are obsolete now. because they
were devised for low and broad build
lngs. and for our tall and narrow build
inSs entirely new style and laws must
be created.
Architects say that building should
resemble a human being. having a foot.
stomach and head. What an incon-
gruous thing it is to build compara-
lively i!feless structure on lines of liv-
ing and moving creature that does not in
the least resemble a building, However.
it seems that most of the existing tall
buildings are designed on this theory.
There are skyscrapers in New York
which look as if they We're built in sec
tions. You can take the second or third
stories off and make a separate building
out of them: then another lot of stories
from which to make another building.

Department of Agriculture Aims to
Educate Southern Farmers

ing the south to grow beef cattle the
men of the department of agriculture
whose duty it is to figure for the ex-
tension Of all branches of animal in
dustIy are planning for a 800 acre live
stock demonstration farm in Louisi-
ana. 1t will be the first Of its kind in
the country. There are breeding farms
maintained by other governments, but.
so far as known, this is the only one
the primary purpose Of which is to de
velop breeds of cattle entirely for their
beef producing qualities.
The farm is to be located on the
dividing line between the cane sugar
land and the cotton land Of the Pelican
State The boil weevil has made cot
ton culture in the moist, subtropical
part of the state too hazardous. There
are many farmers who when driven
out Of cotton by the weevil undertook
cane growing. They found, however,
that with overfows and occasional
frosts, growing cane was about as haz-
ardous as growing cotton.
The south is thinking not Of dairy
ing, but Of growing beef cattle. The
farmers have been getting such good
prices for their different stock. they
have so much corn on hand now. that
the weevil has made them think Of
something other than cotton, that in
every county there is local senti-
ment favOring the eradication of the
tick, a comparatively simple operation,
and the growing of cattle for the pack
ing houses.
There is nothing wrong with the tick
infested cattle from a food point Of
view, but so long as the tick remains
in that country it is next to impossible
to improve the. breed. The immune
cattle are not up to the standard Of
requirement for profitable shipment.
The hauls to market are comparatively
long, so it is desirable that the amount
of bone, hoof and horn to be transport
ed be reduced to a minimum while the
flesh that can be put on the market is
brought to the maximum.

LIKE A TONIC
TO OHIO DRYS
Is Sweeping Temperance VlG-
tory In Virginia.
VETS ARE MUCH DEPRESSED

The Fact That only Four Virginia
Cities Voted Wet and but Three
Counties Gave Wet Majorites Fore.
casts Dry Victory In ohio, Drys
Declare.
Columbus, O.-The sweeping dry
victory in Virginia, on the 22d, has
acted as a tonic on the drys of Ohio.
Dry leaders say it is worth at least
$4,000 Prohibition votes. It is no Sc
cret that Ohio liquor men are dis
couraged over the Virginia result al
though, of course, they do not ad-
NIT it.
Ohio drys are emphasizing the fact
that the vets of Virginia carried but
three of the one hundred counties in
ties in but four cities. 1t is signiti-
cant that a number of Virginia cities
which voted wet under local option by
big majoritiGs wheeled about and gave
even greater majorities for a dry
state. This would seem to indicate
that many persons who will vote wet
in municipal and county option con-
tests will vote dry on statewide Pro,
hibition.
Dry leaders here say the Virginia
result forecasts a heavy dry vote in
Ohio cities in November. This
prophecy is borne out by the poll Of
voters now partially completed In a
number Of Ohio cities This poll is
most gratifying to the drys. Their
workers also report a strong dry sen
timent among business men and man
ufactutrers and also among working
men.
There is no denying that the Vir-
ginia election has boosted dry stock
and that it has had a correspond
ingly depressing effect on the wet
campaign. The Prohibition leaders
are urging dry voters not to become
over-confident, but advise them to
work the harder, as the vets will put
forth an extra effort to overcome the
handicap of the Virginia defeat.
