River Water and Typhoid.

Since Evansville is said to be the
offending party, along with Owens
bOro and other river cities, in pol.
luting the Ohio river with sewerage,
which is probably responsible for
much typhoid in Henderson, it is not
more than fair that Superintendent
Durbin of the local water works
plant should place his services at the
disposal Of the Henderson authori-
fies in advising them how to get an
untainted city water supply. That
this end of the Ohio valley has an ex-
pert of his ability and undisputed
good judgment is matter for con-
gratulations on all sides. Probably
no one has better idea of how to
remedy Henderson's plight than the
Evansville expert.
Until Evansville secured a filter
plant it had to drink its water raw
and take chances on contamination
by sewage from cities upstream.
The water was and is still contamin-
ated above Evansville. Tests ofraw
~R9ter taken from the river here
show khe presence of intestinal bac-
teria. Evansville sewage is not
wholly to blame for the germs of the
river. Our sewage just adds to the
volume of that already there and
heightens the chances Of getting bad
water at Henderson.
II wOuld seem the part of wisdom
TOR Henderson to lose no time in
building a filtration plant. Unit
that city does purify its water sup
ply it may expect to fight typhoid
and lose lives in the battle. The mu-
inequality certainly can afford to
spend gi25, 900 for a filtration plant.
Evansville paid for its filter out of
9afer works earnings and by tax
(.sgies. Henderson can do as much
or else issue bonds. For the pres
ents, a temporary filter plant could
be put in to end the contamination
of the river water for this sumner
The time and situation seem to cal
for prompt and vigorous action by
the Henderson city administration

DANDRUFF SOON
RUINS THE HAIR
Makes 1t Lifeless, Dull, Dry,
Brittle and Thin

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this. get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub 1t in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning most. if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
Single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
land digging of the scalp will stop, and
Your hair will be silky, fluffy, lustrous
|soft, and look and feel hundred
times better. You can get liquid arvon
lat any drug store. 1t is inexpensive
and four ounces is all you will need,
|no matter how much dandruff you
have. This simple remedy never fails

NEW ORDER OF
POSTAL CHIEF
In Regard To Insufficient
Postage.
LETTERS ARE ALLOWED TO GO
If Lacking Stamps. But Re.
ceiver Must Pay Twice
Amount Due.
TEXT OF NEW POSTAL ORDER

Under an order of Postmaster
General Burleson, just issued, let
tiers, or postal-cards not having af-
fixed sufficient postage will no long
er be held up pending the receipt
from the addressee of stamps to
make up the deficit.
The requirement of the Post-of-
fee Department that full postage
must be prepaid before mail matter
may be dispatched from the receiv-
ing Office has in many cases resulted
in financial loss to the addressee. to
say nothing of the Inconvenience af-
forded through the holding up OF
the letter pending the receipt of
stamps to cover the deficiency. For
this reason this order will be well
coined, although it provides for the
collection of double the amount of
the deficit when delivery is made.
However this provision does not
add to the cost of having delivered
Il non-prepaid letter. Under the old
system where there were two cents
due it was necessary to inclose u
two-cent stamp in stamped enve-
lope. making the total cost four
cents. plus the time consumed and
delay occasioned. ii but one cent is
due a saving of one cent may be had
by the addressee under the new sys-
TEN, as under the old it cost two
cents to forward one cent postage.
II Is evident that Postmaster
General Burleson promulgated the
order with the intent to do away
with the delays to mail matter oc-
casioned by the old order. 1t may
be safely said that fully 80 per cent
of nonprepaid letter mail is the re-
suit of mistakes on the part of the
sender or observation-disclosures or fail
ure of the stamps affixed to adhere
to the envelope. To prevent abuse
OF the order Postmaster-General
puIitSou mas pToNlueu tHut where
articles are mailed with intent to
avoid prepayment. they shall be held

The text OF Postmaster-General
