Sunday Afternoon Meeting.
This afternoon will be held the first
Sunday afternoon meeting Of the Y.
NJ. c. Al, for the fall and winter sea-
son, and promises to be Of much in
terest. The address will be given by
Daniel Boone Heller Of Mount Plea
SAINT and will be given In the audi
forum Of the building The subject
announced is the text for a very en-
tertaining lecture as well as instruc-
tive. "A Square Man" is the subject
on which Mr.. Heller will talk and It
opens broad field and capable of
being treated from many view points.
Whatever may be the view of the
speaker his address will no doubt. be
interesting. u.
Besides the above attraction, NOV.
ing picture exhibition will be. given.
since the moving. picture apparatus
of the association has been arranged
and put in place for the occasion.
with these two special attractions
and this being the first Sunday after
noon meeting OF the year, it is natur-
ally expected that there will be q
large attendance. The subject of the
pictures to be displayed is Sampson
and Delilah." A square man, and a
strong man" is. combination for one
afternoon session-in words about the
square man, and In pictures about the
strong man OF the Bible, each Of which
would afford much food for thought
and for profitable meditation the two
combined will give much added food
and will no doubt prove lessons which
deserve to be studied.
General Secretary Durgee is very
active and we might say, skilfull In
his preparation for anything useful
and entertaining in promoting the pro-
gress OF the Young Mems Christian
association. Next week he will be
busily engaged Outside his regular
duties he will prepare films for an
educational course which will no doubt
be eagerly sought by Keokuk people
who arey,now engaged in much indus.
trial thought for the benefit and
growth OF the city.
It is being planned to give an ex-
hibition Of these, pictures on educa-
tional subjects, showing in detail the
manufacture OF various articles OF
commerce, such as paper, etc, and
these DEMONSTRATIONS will prove an
excellent SCHOOL. AS planned, these
exhibitions will be given each week
and will,no doubt be largely attended.

Y. M. c. A. ITEMS
Tho Afternoon Meeting TO be an At
traetive Event, the Square
Man and Strong Man.

A bunch OF twenty-seven boys left
the "Y'' at nine o'clock Saturday morn
ing. armed with q sufficient supply, Of
FcOoking utensils and an abundant sup
ply Of eats" This was the biggest
bunch OF boys mcbilized by the "Y"
for trip in the woods, and not the
invasion OF hostile army, as some
people along the road seemed to
think.
The trip was made down the river
by the cereal works and through the
lumber yards, following the road to
about mile beyond the Des Moines
river bridge. The boys left the road
at this location and tramped through
a corn field to wooded spot near the
river bank and directly across the
river>from the monument in Warsaw.
BY the time the boys reached this
place they had acquired good appe-
tites and it was not long until a camp
fire was burning and the boys were
cooking dinner in real camp style.
With sumcient length Of time for
story telling and lounging around, the
boys got together for the return trip.
Every fellow as a rule is glad to get
started homeward. because there is
always the big swim in the ~" pool
to look forward to. M
! These trips are under. the direct
charge OF the, boys secretary at the
association and with the assistance Of
a group Of older boy leaders the boys
are we'll taken care ofsssA,ssimilar
trip will probably be held next Satur-
day.

How still, how still it isl" whis. pered the breeze.
 Rest, rest. rest!" was the lullaby swish of the willow.
 The old wife nestled closer to Abra. ham until her head touched his shoul. der. He laid his cheek against her hair and the carefully preserved old bonnet. lnvoluntarily she raised her hand, trained by the years of pinch ing economy, to lift the fragile rose into a safer position. He smiled at her action; then his arm closed about her spasmodically and he swallowed a lump in his throat
 The afternoon was waning. Gradu- ally over the turmoil of their hearts stole the gardens June-time spirit of drowsy repose.
 They leaned even closer to each other. The gray of the old mans hair mingled with the gray beneath Ange- lines little bonnet Slowly his eyes closed. Then even as Angy wondered who would watch over the slumbers of his worn old age in the poorhouse, she, too, fell asleep.

bored or driven wells are less liable to pollution than shallow dug or bored wells.
 The safety of water supplies when near sources of possible surface pollu. ton often depends largely on the char acter and quality of the material in which the well Is sunk. Surface wa ters in sinking through sandy soils or surfaces are filtered, and in the finer sands much of the polluting matter which they carry Is frequently re- moved. In coarser sands or gravel the degree of filtration is less, but water taken from sands and gravels at a considerable depth may be considered relatively safe. Waters from wells in clay are not often polluted, since sur. face pollution filters through clay very slowly.
 Waters from wells in limestone are frequently polluted. owing to the fact that limestone soils usually contain passages and channels at different 1 depths, which sometimes form a con. tinuous passage for underground wa ter Tor a considerable distance. and which are very often directly connect ca With sinks and basins occurring here and there on the surface. It Is common practise to dump manure, trash and garbage into such sinks or Daslns' and rain water falling into these plunges directly into the under. ground channels, carrying with 1t the impurities from the basin to those points where wells are sunk. In this manner garbage or refuse dumped anywhere in the neighborhood or even at considerable distance from well In limestone may pollute the water.

Many diseases may be transmitted by means of water, and some of the diseases are so uniformly transmitted by this means that they are known as water borne" diseases, Typhoid, dys entery and other intestinal disorders come under this class of diseases, and consequently 1t is of the greatest i'm portance that every precaution be taken to insure pure water supply, says Bulletin No. 57 of the United States department of agriculture.
 Farm water supplies may be divided into three classes In the order of their liability to pollution these are surface supplies, shallow underground supplies and deep underground sup plies. The surface supplies are ob- tained from streams, ponds, reservoirs ard cisterns; both shallow and deep underground supplies are obtained from dug, bored, driven or drilled wells, and from springs.
 The investigations of K F. Keller man and H. A. Whitaker of the depart ment of agriculture, in cooperation with the Minnesota state board of health, indicate that of 79 carefully selected and typical water supplies in Minnesota 20 were good and 59 were polluted Of the polluted wells II were so located that even extreme care would not make them safe; 10 were poorly located, but improvements in the protection from surface wash and iniltration would make them safe; p were bad only because of poor surface protection and could easily be made safe Practically all the surface supplies investigated were polluted During these investigations 23 of the farms examined showed a record of typhoid fever.
 Surface water supplies are those most liable to pollution, and author- ties agree that they are the most un- satisfactory for farm use Streams

ceiying filter, made of concrete, which contains fine sand, gravel and pow dered charcoal in layers, and from which 1t empties into the cistern. The rain-water pipe from the eayestrough should be provided with a switch or cutoff, so that the flow may be divert ed to the outside-as, for instance, for a short time at the beginning of rains to exclude the filth collected on the roof and gutters. An overflow pipe should be provided in the side of the cistern and should be screened to ex- ctude rats and other vermin.
 It is usual to distinguish between shallow underground supplies and deep underground supplies. Wells from 15 to 30 feet in depth to water flowing in a layer of gravel or mud, which rests on an impervious stratum, underground supply.
 Both shallow and deep farm wells are often polluted from local sources. They are often located for convenience in the barnyard, under the stable or barn, close to stock pens, privy vaults, or teaching ceespools, or close to the back door, out of which household slops are thrown and near which ami nal and vegetable refuse is often al- lowed to accumulate and decompose The soil surrounding the well becomes saturated with organic filth and, un- able finally to perform it's useful work of filtration and purification, allows the surface water percolating through it to carry its load of contamination into the we'll.
 The well may be located at such distance from sources of contamina- tion that ordinary pumping will bring no bad results, but in case of unusu- ally heavy pumping the underground water surface for a distance around the well may be sufficiently lowered to reach the zone of contamination. Deep

and ponds receive the greater part of the surface wash from the immedi- ate neighborhood, and in many cases barnyard or stockyard drainage from Joints remote from where the water is taken for household use. Streams or ponds located in pastures, manured helds or where stock can gain access to them are polluted. Sometimes sew age and house drainage are emptied into streams and ponds. In fact, since they are open and unprotected, there are thousand and one different sources of pollution. Rain waters from the roof are polluted by dust, dirt and leaves, which collect in the eayetrough, and by the droppings from birds
 Surface water supplies should there fore not be used for household pur- poses, unless for washing milk cans or for laundry purposes. And it may be safely assumed that the person who drinks water from surface supplies en. dangers his health if such supplies are not first protected from the sources of contamination as far as possible and then purified.
 In localities where underground wa ters are hard to obtain cisterns may be used for the filtration. partial puri- fication and storage of rain water. The size of the cistern will depend on the number of persons in the house and on the general water consumption.
 The cistern should be of water-tight construction to prevent, leakage and to prevent pollution from the neigh boring soil. It should have an over flow drain and tight cover. There sh, also be suitable provision for straining or Altering the water previ. ous to it's entrance to the cistern.
 Concrete is probably the most sani tary and durable material for cisterns In general the walls and floor should be to inches thick and well reinforced and the concrete should be carefully proportionod and mixed. A mixture of l part cement to or 21b parts of clean, sharp sand and or 3 parts of clean and fairly small crushed rock or gravel is satisfactory for fairly water. tight concrete. The inside surface should be coated with l to 9 cement mortar.
