PURIFYING THE DRINKING WATER.

With the return Of the harvesting season the pre-
vention Of typhoid fever dysentery and other ines-
final disorders in the rural communities and especially
among harvest crews, needs special attention These
diseases caused by certain bacteria and they are
commonly present in polluted water. The use of water
therefore, from old wells streams, etc. which is often
tended with danger and something should be done to
purify such water before it is used for drinking pur-
poses. Professor c. Magoon, Bacteriologist Of the
Experiment Station gives the following method for the
publication of water:
For the destruction Of all dangerous bacteria
which may be in water nothing equals in efficiency and
convenience ordinary chloride Of lime. This may be
obtained from almost any grocery store in 0cent
and the amount required small as to make the cost
for the entire season almost negligible It should be
used in the following manner:
One tablespoonful Of the chloride Of lime is dis
solved in ten quarts Of water This quantity is su
carried out by simply pouring the clear solution into
the water to be treated and stirring thoroughly This
solution is powerful germicide and its action is very
rapidten minutes or 50 being all the time required to
carry out the publication One quart Of this solution
is sufficient to treat effectively tank containing 100
gallons Of water and pint of it stirred into the So
gallon water barrel filled with water will destroy any
dangerous germs and make water safe for drinking
purposes The solution should be prepared fresh each
time as it loses strength standing and the of
chloride of lime should also be kept tightly closed until
needed again.
One is cautioned against the use of too much of
the chemical not because it is dangerous at ALL but be-
undesirable odor taste may be impaired to
the water where too large amounts are used The
strength of solution indicated above used in the
ner described will be found perfectly satisfactory The
qualities Of the water will in wise be impaired and
undesirable conditions will arise from its se On
the other hand dangerous water may be made safe and
much sickness prevented-State Agricultural Expert

THINGS ARE DONE DIFFERENTLY.

The racial differences between thewhite man and
the noble red are very marked, and the customs
and habits in peculiar CONTRAST for instance when
Indian wants to take BRIDE he gives fine bull
to the girls father in return for her hand He starts
to the epee of his love and when he goes to talk to the
girls father "he ties the bull outside" Now when
white young man goes this errand-(but what's the
use Of following the the idea any farther).

The wisest advertisers and the shrewdest mer-
chants have long ago fully decided that there nothing
the face Of the earth that will promote business so
certainly as good newspaper advertising
All the catch-penny devices introduced by the slick
strangers intended for suckers and those who are
not on to the game The average business will die with
out newspaper advertising. -

Centralia has a reputation to maintain; it has
lunch room in the depot in which they sell at five cents
each doughnuts which cost wholesale eight cents a

FIELDING AVERAGES OF BALL
 PLAYERS

NEW YORK, Dec. Is. - According to the official fielding averages Of more than twenty of the leading ma jor and minor leagues, Fred Smith. of the International league, was the most consistent outfielder of the past season. Smith, who played left field for the Rochester and Montreal clubs during 1915, figured in 10S games, with a perfect average, having 217 putouts, twelve assists and no errors. His nearest competitor for first place honors was Eddlngton, of the Cen tral League, who fielded .s90 in 123 games. The leading outfielders in the associations which have pub llshed their averages to date, are as follows:
