enforced expenditure OF millions of
dollars to make the necessary changes

his Office with Corporation Counsel

over the situation with the city on

orders for safeguarding the water sup
ply.
II have no ofiicial information as TO
what the attitude of the commission
will be-" said Lawson TO the mayor,
'.but everybody will admit we are
guilty Of pollut.ng the water with our
sewage"
Health Oficer Price stated that at
the present time the water supply can
not be charged with causing deaths
in the city, the water being relatively
pure after chemical treatment. He
admitted that the water supply may
ultimately become polluted az the city
continues to grow

for the pollution OF the water used by

the corporation counsel. 81 under

Lawson appealed to the mayor for

the mayor wisely replied that 1t would
first be necessary for the city to find
out just what the commission wanted
done.
Health ofYicer Price said he had

the commissions engineers and that
they declared the local water supply

Another report, or rather two re-
ports--a majority and minority one
from the engineers would indicate
that the complete elimination OF sew

that the publication answers where
the sewage can be so treated as not

IN our case, they seem to think that
something ought to be done with the

can be done by screening or by the

the flows OF sewage and that might be
done here In Jefferson-ave. for IN.

AGAINST DIPHTHERIA

Although there is nothing like an
epidemic, deaths from diphtheria In
Detroit have increased to such an ex.
tent during the last few weeks that
Health officer William II. Price has
issued warning.
1T Is natural to expect an increase
In the number OF diphtheria cases al
this season. said Dr. Price. but the
Increase In the number OF deaths can
be avoided by early care and treat
ment. Death from diphtheria can be
traced either to ignorance or negli
gence"
To successfully combat this maIady
said DR.. Price, prompt care and at
tention should be given to every case
OF throat trouble, no matter how
slight II may seem.

house for the teacher and the
teachers family. This farm will be
a kind of model farm, IL properly

about way TO get to Lynn and found
our friends had been very anxious
about us, not having heard from us
since the fire broke out.
June 26th, We took the steamer to
Yarmouth, U. :, there took the
train up the beautiful Annapolis
Valley following the river all the
way.
We passed Port Royal, where in
i1i0 the French surrendered TO the
English in battle fought there, and
now on its beautiful grounds over
looking the river tourists love to
finger. Farther up the valley is
Grand Pre-, the home OF "Evangeline."
Many Of you know the sad story.
We are visiting at an old fash
Toned UNCOVERED house shaded by
large elm trees.
The house is ninety-three years
old. II is owned by my brother-in-
law whose great grandfather in
1888 with another man dug out big
log and formed q boat in which
they rowed many miles up the riv-
er and cut down trees and built
log house just in sight of this one
and later one Of the sons built this
substantial house with its big chin
neys and large sunny rooms.
Now there are five farms and APP
pie orchards.
The soil here is much like the
blue grass. Our mountains are no
more beautiful than those of Ken
lucky but the fine sheet of water
makes the valley more beautiful as
well as fertile.
