Plumbing and Health

1t is not surprising perhaps tiat
old ideas concerning the causes 81
disease survive long time after The
these ideas have been generally out
grown or discredited. All The same
It Is a little diseonccrting To find that
typhoid fever can still lie conplacent-
IL attributed to BAD plumbing. When
We read that insufficient laws resb-
latlng plumbing and sanitation in
Virginia, Maryland and the District
of Columbia are largely responsible
for the high typhoid rate and the
prevalence of other diseases in the
two States and the istrict,' and again
that "much of the fever and otner
forms of disease with which the
health authorities are constantly
wrestling is caused " noxious gases
and vapors emanating from neglected
or defective pipes in the homes OF
tine people, we are inclined TO rub
our eyes and ask ourselves If the eGu-
cation of the community is really
proceeding at the pace we sometimes
like to believe. The assertions quoted
above, however were reported as
made at the Association Of Plumbers,
Gasiitters and Steamiitters which re-
Gently met in Richmond, Va, and not
at convention of health officers or
physicians.
1t is hasdly necessary To point Oft
that typhoid fever-or any other fever
Is not caused by bad smells, and
thu. the small quantity of the gases
OF decomposition found in well-venti-
ltsted sewers has never been proved
To exert any injurious effect what
ever on health. A connection between
plumbing and health has been shown
to exist at Just one point. Plumbing
is of value to public health only so far
as IL removes human eXcreta from
the immediate neighborhood of dwell
ings and so does away with the dan
ger of hy-borne typhoid and other
infection which arises from allowing
infectious material to accumulate.
Disease germs are not found in sewer

Just think, Davie, this'll be our
last day at the seashore! Tomor-
row we're going home said
Dorothy Dear one sunny morning
in late summer, as she and Davie
stood on the front porch waiting for
their Uncle Dick, who had promised
TO go walking on the sand.
Tomorrow Wen be getting up
early and hurrying to the train,
and the first thing we know we'll
be in the city, without any ocean
or beach or shells or-or anything,
Dorothy concluded with a sigh. I'm
sorry, aren't you?"
Davie considered.
I'm not Just awfully sorry" he
declared, after a moment, balancing
himself on the piazza railing; its
nice here, but it's nice home, too.
and-and I'll see Frank Binks. He's
eight, you know, and knows ever
so many things. Sides father says
frost II come after a while SOS We

THAT won't be till October,
though, and this is only the first

a nice boy, and so is his sister. Not
a nice boy dorothy paused to

as nice as Mary LiZbeth. When
the ehestnuts are ready we'll all go,
and maybe mother'll let us take a
lunch" And Dorothy began to look
quite consoled at having to leave
her beloved seashore.
Davie kicked his heels against the
banister.

announced, glazing at the front
door, 81 s'pose he's talking to nurse
Nellie again. He knows we're wait

Dorothy shook her head.

railing in business like fashion, IF
you won't tell me I'm going in and

marched across the porch, hands in

Rolling Away a Double Chin

With an ivory and aluminium roller
women are now working industrlously
and successfully to reduce their
double chins.
This effective little instrument is
being depended on to roll away folds
of flesh and to smooth out the throat
in such way that with the reduction
there is no 1ooseness and fiabbiness of
the skin. The effect of the rows of
tiny ivory balls. which feel cool to the
flesh on the warmest days, is to SLIM
ulate the circulation, while the pres
sure. light as it is, messages away the
undesired flesh, says an exchange.
The balls are fitted to a top about
the size of a military hair brush and
the instrument is both light and easy
to use.
To impart delightful and natural
rosiness to the cheeks few swift
strokes will accomplish wonders. so
that many women who are not dis
figured by double chins purchase the
roller for it's other complexion
improving possibilities.

beads, if they are real amber. usually
come from the Baltic sea, when after

it over to the Prussian government,
which has the monopoly and also
owns large mines along the coast
where it is dug from a certain blue

THE Bridge

request. Will you please let me
have the words of the poem, Il
stood ON the bridge at midnight"
Thanking you in advance,
POEM
THE BRIDGE.
l stood on the bridge at midnight
As the clocks were striking the
hour,
And the moon rose DER the city
Behind the dark church tower
| saw her bright reflection
In the waters under me,
Like a golden goblet falling
And sinking into the sea.
And far in the hazy distance
OF that lovely night in June,
The blaze of the flaming furnace
Cleaned redder than the moon.
Among the long, black rafters
The Wavering shadows lay,
And the current that came from the
Seemed to lift and bear them
away,
AS, sweeping and eddying through
them
Rose the belated tide,
And, streaming into the moonlight,
The seaweed floated wide.
And like those waters rushing
Among the wooden piers,
flood of thought came DER me
That filled my eyes with tears.
How often, oh! how often,
| had wished that the ebbing tide
Would bear me away on its bosom
Ger the ocean wild and widei
For my heart was hot and restless
And my life was full of care,
And the burden laid upon me
Seemed greater than ! could bear.
But now it has fallen from me,
1t is buried in the sea,
Ana only the sorrow of others
Throws its shadow over me.
Yet whenever I cross the river
Or. its bridge with wooden piers,
Like the odor of brine from the
ocean
comes the thought of other years.
And | think how many thousand
or aforementioned men,
Each bearing his burden of sorrow,
Have crossed the bridge since
then.
| see the long procession
Still passing to and fro,
The young heart hot and restless,
And the old subdued and slow!
And forever and forever,
AS long as the river flows,
AS long as the heart has passions,
AS long as life has woes;
The moon and it's broken reflection
And its shadow shall appear,
AS the symbol of love in heaven,
And its wavering image here.
