prevalent belief that alum exists In
filtered water is erroneous" declares
the health department in a bulletin on
the subject OF the Beaumont water
supply. while alum is used for clari-
fication II does not remain in solution.
Alum cannot remain in solution In the
presence OF lime and the filtered water
still contains free lime. The filtered
water contains no more alum than the
raw river water-a fact easily demon
strated by simple tests" We there
fore have II on the authority OF the
department OF health that our city
water supply is safe and wholesome
and free from typhoid bearing germs.
Here. are some simple rules for
avoiding typhoid. from the Memphis
CommercialAppeal. that can be easily
followed without great expense, They
will repay careful reading:
People can become immunized from
typhoid by being vaccinated. There
is no doubt OF the certainty OF this
preventive. But even II one is i'm.
munized one should not tolerate con
ditioh that might bring about typhoid
II one we're not proof against II.
The first thing to do is to see that
the water supply is pure. Those who
use pure water need have no fear on
this account except that they must
watch to see there is no break in the
plumbing in their house and no trash
around sinks.
II the water supply is pure the next
thing TO do Is to screen the house.
A fly can pick up typhoid germ or
dozen OF them In his feet and deposit
them on a layer OF iced cake or mo-
lasses.
A third thing to do is to watch the
milk supply. Vegetables should be
thoroughly washed and thoroughly
boiled. Vegetables such as lettuce and
radishes and those fruits which are
eaten without being cooked should be
very carefully washed.
People do not eat as much canned
fruits or canned goods of any kind in
the summer. but II can be said for
canned stun, when properly canned
by reliable and honest firms, that 1t
is sterilized, and therefore free from
germs. One must be careful. however,
after opening can of vegetables or
fruit. to see that no foreign substance
gets into the unused part.
II you have cistern water on your
place in the city, don't drink 1t.
II you go in swimming. don't swal-
low any water
Keep your teeth clean and wash
your hands thoroughly before eating.
Drink plenty of pure water, eat the
simplest foods, and you are not likely
to have any sort of trouble this sum-
mef.
You can drink half gallon Of pure
water in an afternoon and 1t won't
hurt you.
II you live in the country, watch
the water supply. See to 1t that the
spring has no vein running under the
stable lot.
See to 1t that the cows are carefully
washed before they are MIXED, and
be mighty careful about washing your
own hands before milking.
Screen your house. You can screen
an ordinary country house for less
than SIS
Don't overload your stomach will
an immense amount of food
See to 1t that the flies are kept away
even from the outhouses.
Throw dust or lime over the manure
piles in the barnyards and stalls ant
also be very careful about screening
lavatories.

Freakish Fashion Is Not Likely to Be

Season.
PEACOCK TAIL EFFECT POPULAR
Special Cable to The Washington Herald.

Special Gable TO The Washington Herald
London, May 16.-It is extremely doubt
full if any slit skirts will be seen at the
Ascot races this season.
Mime. Paquin has led the revolt against
the slit skirt, which. she says. has be-
come vulgarized, and she is now busy
creating gowns which, while narrow, give
all the freedom of the slit skirt
Some of the new skirts have a won
derful arrangement of accordion pleated
panels. and are draped in such a way
as to give sufficient fullness at the feet
without having in the least the appear
ance of width.
Designs are already being made for
court trains to be worn at the June
courts, and it is noticeable that even the
most superstitious women have sue
cumbed to the craze for peacock feathers.
A train to be worn by Lady Mond Is
of painted velvet in a wonderful design
like a peacock's tail. The train is lined
with the palest peach pink satin and
bordered all around with silver lace and
trimmed with trails Of roses
Another court train, for an Australian
lady, will be of pearl white taffeta. the
adornment OF which consists of trails of
bright pink Shirley popies. with touches
of lace and silver cord.
The new cone-shaped couture is so I'M
becoming that very few women are
adopting it, and as feathers must be
worn at court the effect, II is generally
considered. would be ludicrous.
There is. in fact, every sign that fash
ions will be less freakish this season.

SPECIAL Cable TO The Washington Herald.
London, May ia very interesting
comparison is going the rounds just now
of the striking facial resemblance be-
tween three prominent public men.
though one is hors de combat so far as
public life is concerned.
The three men are England's greatest
statesman, William Pitt; Joseph Cham
berlain, and President Wilson. If, for
example, you place monocle on the left
eye of the Pitt statue, which stands at
the entrance TO the House of Commons,
you have the immortal Joe" to the life

stituted Wilson's pince-nez for mon
ocle.
Each of these three men started their
political careers as Liberals. All STUN
bled through the same irony of fate into
the maelstrom of war.
We know the long, sanguinary conflict
that followed Pitts resort to arms and
the Transvaal war, for which Chamber
lain was largely responsible, was only
concluded after a tremendous loss of life
and an enormous outlay Of money.

st. Petersburg. May l6-The Dowager
Empress immensely surprised every one
the deputies most Of abby visiting the
Duma, the Russian legislative assembly.
1t was universally supposed that her
majesty. like the other members of the
imperial family. had the most violent
prejudices against the Russian Parlia-
ment and everything to do with it.
A daring deputy asked the Dowager
Empress why she had honored the cham
Der with her august presence; she replied
simply that she wished to see in its new
garb the place where she had SO often
danced In her youth-it was then known
as the Tauride Palace-and the lake on
which she had SO often skated as a
young bride.
Much speculation, however, is rife as
to the inner reason OF the royal visit.
and II Is considered in well-informed
circles that the visit of the Empress is
but forerunner of a visit by the Car
himself.
