Wells Should Be Carefully Safeguard
ed Against Pollution.
Prepared by United States department Of
agricultural
A pure water supply is one of the
most important factors in farm life to-
day. as typhoid fever. dysentery and
other disorders may be carried by i'm
pure waters. Farm water supplies are
very subject to pollution. OF seventy
nine typical water supplies in Mime
sofa investigations showed that TWEEN
ty We're good and fifty-nine polluted.
Twenty-Five Of those polluted We're
bad only because of poor surface pro-
lection and could easily have been
made safe. Practically all the surface
supplies were polluted. During these
investigations twentythree of the
farms examined showed a record Of
typhoid fever.
Surface water supplies should not lie
used for household purposes or for
washing milk cans. They should not
even be used for laundry purposes I'M
less no other supply is available. Rain
water from the roof is often polluted
by dust. leaves and the droppings from
birds. Any person who drinks water
from surface supplies endangers his
health if such supplies are not ade-
quately protected and then purified.
Where underground waters are hard
to obtain cisterns may be used where
the store Of rainwater and surface sup
plies will be filtered and partially puri-
fed
The cistern should be of water tight
construction to prevent leakage and
to prevent pollution from the neighbor-
Ing soil. 1t should have an overflow
drain and a tight cover. There should
also be suitable provision for straining
or filtering the water previous to its
entrance to the cistern.
Farm wells are often polluted from
local sources. They are often located
for convenience near the barn or stable
or close to the back door, out of which
household Stops are thrown. The soil
surrounding the well becomes saturat-
ed with organic filth and allows the

THE DAYS STORY
OF The WAR.
Condensed Reports of Latest
Events in Europe's War, as
Given Out by the Associated
Press. -

ANoNs Liza VI liS lSoCCN, anu
wi h fresh reinforcements to
their support, the German troops
who have been battling in Bel
GUM and the north of France
for what seems to be an almost
interminable period, are renew
ing their efforts to push their
way through the French, British
and Belgian lines to reach the
much-desired ports on the Eng
lish channel.
Not only here, but in the Ar
come region and the Woevre
district, the fighting has been of
the fiercest character. 1t is said
the laundering of the big guns
of the British warships off Ostend
can be heard on the English
coast.
In all these engagements the
dead and wounded are multiply
ing but there are thousands to
take their places. The trans
port of the wounded to the zone
of safety, where they can re-
ceive proper attention, is proving
a problem that has not yet been
solved; hospitals and surgeons
are inadequate for the care of
those who have fallen.
While the larger ships of the
German navy remain under the
protection of their harbors the
submarines continue to show
activity, and another British
cruiser has been sent to the bot
tom as result of the raid by
one of these destructive boats.
The official announcement of the
sinking of the light British cruis-
er Hermes in the straits of Dow
er gives no details except that
she was destroyed by a German
submarine and that most of her
officers and men were saved.
Because of the attack on her
coast towns on the Black sea by
Turkish warships, Russia has in
structed her ambassador at Con-
stantinople to announce to the
sublime porte the severance of
diplomatic relations and his pros
pective departure from Constan-
tinople. According to messages
reaching Washington from the
Turkish capital, war has been
officially declared between Turkey
and Russia, but this is hardly to
be considered likely as both Rus
STA and Great Britain have de-
manded an explanation from the
porte of Turkeys action and are
awaiting a reply.
Meanwhile some of the war
ships under the Turkish flag
have Destroyed a number of YES
sells of the Russian navy and it
is reported for Constantinople by
way of Rome that the Russian
fleet had attacked the Turkish
fleet in the Black sea off the
Crimean coast.
November 3.-One of the most
important new features in the
war situation is the announce
ment by the British admiralty
that the entire North sea has
been declared a military area and
that vessels plying it's waters will
be in grave danger from mines
which it has placed unless they
obey rules laid down by the ad-
miralty.
These mines were laid, accord
ing to the admiralty, to offset
similar action by the Germans to
the north of Ireland. A news
agency dispatch says the Germans
have placed big guns on Borum
island in the North sea.
The German cruiser Karlsruhe
has captured three additional
British steamers in the South
Atlantic.

escaped being trampled as the animal
raced through the crowds on the Mar
ket street crossings. The horse was
finally brought to a StandStill at Third

Upper End People Plan
to Complete Midland
Pennsylvania Railroad

Berrysburg, Pa. May 23.-Another
effort is being made to untangle tho
affairs of the Midland PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad Company. which two Years
ago started to build a railroad line
through the Lykens Valley between
ATillersburg and Ashland. Local people
of the valley have become more inter-
csted in the project and are trying to
raise enough money to complete the
line between MillerSburg and Graft
IT is estimated that it will take about
100000 to put the line into shape for
operation.
d. a meeting was held at Gratz several
days ago, when plans We're discussed
for the raising of the money. 1t is
planned to have the railroad company
turn over the rights of way and all the
stock that has been turned into the
road between Millersburg and GratZ.
The laying of rails and some grading
is all that is necessary for the building
of the line.
The position of president, which was
left vacant by the resignation of w. Z.
Harrington more than Year ago, has
not been filled. Joseph +. Romberger,
of this place. still holds the position
of vicepresident is one of the board
of directors and is looking after the
interests of the local people.

Notice was issued to-day by the
Public Service Commission requiring
all street car companies operating sur

Jacks capable of lifting at least eight
inches one-fourth of the weight of a

weight of a single-truck car. The or
der requires that one-half of the cars
in the state must be equipped by De-

agitation to have cars equipped so that
in case of accident injured people can
be released without loss of time. Tho
commission held a hearing on the
proposition a short time ago.
Many trolley companies throughout
the state equipped cars with jacks
some time ago, although there are few
lines which have every car supplied.

JUDGE KUNKEL WINS

seven Counties of the
Stase >

With returns complete from sixty
of the sixty counties of the
State Judge George Kunkel has a ma
iority of S,69S over Judge Endlich for
nomination as candidate for Judge of
the State Supreme Court.
The total vote in these sixty coun-
ties is kunkel, S1,SS1, and Endlich,
73,1SS.
This assures the nomination of
Judge Kunkel, as most of the coun-
ties yet to be heard from are small,
and 1t would be impossible for them
to oVerturn the result. Indeed, it is
likely that the later returns will in
crease Judge Kunkel's majority.

Judge Kunkel said to the newspaper
men who asked him for statement
II am deeply grateful to my many
friends throughout the State for their
voluntary, disinterested and efficient
support, as disclosed by the returns" r"
