ANCIENT WISDOM
PRESERVED WATER
Importance of a Pure Supply Rec
ognized by the Great Men of
the Older Nations

Ancient history shows that people
thought enough of their water supply
to cart it around with them and that
some of the worst diseases known
have been traced to water, according
to DIR. Samuel G. Dixon, the State
Commissioner of Health. The COM
missioner says regarding the learning
of the ancients on water supply:
I'm every age, in every nation, there
has been a class of individuals who
objected to all innovations solely on
the ground that they were new. Every
body numbers one or more of these
directors among his acquaintances.
Preventive medicine is referred to
these days as a new science, and so, it
is but many of the measures used
to-day are hoary with age and have
been sanctioned by sanitarians of the
dim centuries. The Scriptures hold
evidence of this and now and again
the historian may mark passage
which adds confirmation.
The care of water supplies is one
of the things which the opponents of
modern sanitation most frequently be-
little and which the public health off,
Gals continually recommend. To those
bold objectors who blatantly proclaim
their superiority to precautionary
measures it is interesting to quote
from Heroditus, "the father of his
tory" who wrote some twenty-three-
odd centuries ago of Cyrus the Persian
king.
Cyrus made war against the son
of this queen, who bore the name of
his father, Labynetus, and had the
empire of Assyria. Now when the
great king leads his army in person,
he carries with him from home pro-
visions well prepared and cattle; and
| he takes with him water from the
River Choaspes, which flows past Susa,
OF which alone, and no other, the king
drinks. A great number of four-wheel
carriages, drawn by mules, carry the
water of this river, after 1t has been
boiled in silver vessels, and follow him
from place to place wherever he
marches
Fortunately, the majority of people
heed the warnings given when it be-
comes necessary to boil water from
private or public supplies or take
other steps to insure its safety. So
long, however, as the dissenters con-
tinue their senseless opposition we
shall continue to have an unnecessary
amount of typhoid. Not alone among
! the individuals who set themselves
aboves the acquired knowledge of
scientific investigators, but also among
the unfortunate people who permit
their better Judgment to be swayed by
the positive assertions of the ignorant -

Their Married Life >
Copyright by International News Service

The train steamed into Mill Valley,
and Warren led the way out of the
car and around the little country sta
tion. Ahead of them the California
mountains stretched away into vistas
of greenness, the sun touched the
leaves here and there with spots of
gold and the air blew softly with just
enough tang to be invigorating. In
short. il was a perfect day, and the
party had panned to ascend the most
crooked railroad in the world to
Mount Tamalpais.
They had covered the beautiful
Exposition Grounds again and again.
Helen and Louise had browsed around
inside all Ihe large buildings and had
microscopicaily investtga ted and eX-
amined all the exhibits. Some chance
acquaintance had mentioned the ride
to Mount Tamalpais, and il sounded
so attractive that they had all plan
ned to take it on the first perfect day.
That day happened to fall on Sun
day and, as Helen said, ii could not
have been more opportune. Two
weeks already since they had left
home and after San Francisco they
were to go to Los Angeles and San
Diego, returning by way of the Grand
Canyon.
They all piled into the quaint
open car which was little more than
think of the thrilling roller coasters
at Coney Island, and they were then
whizzed away into the green noun
tains ahead. The sturdy little en-
gine puffed bravely away, and they
went up and up and around and
around.
Gradually the way behind was
closed in a green thicl<et of bushes
Suddenly they emerged on to a
clear space and looked back. The
mists floated. vapor-like, over the
Golden Gate, but the sun was shin
ing, and the clouds below looked
like wells shot with pink and SAT-
from The jutting green of the pro-
montories was faint enough to sug-
gest mere outlines, and rolling be-
low in velvet-shod beauty stretched
the hill they were ascending.
1t was a gorgeous sight and as
they went higher and higher they
could discern their own track stretch
ing back of them in curved lines.
straight and again they described a
bow knot or a double bow knot until
the tracks looked like a fantastic de-
sign set in emerald plush.
At the Summit House the passengers
all climbed out and went in. There
was an inclined railroad that carried
people up to the Marine observatory
on the Top OF the mountain, whence
ships were described at sea; but Helen
decided that they did not want to
go up. as the view was little better
than it was at the Summit House.
Inside there was a large living
room with a dancing wood fire which
felt very comfortable at so great a
height; and Helen bought some pic
ture postcards and sat down at the
great center table to write them. The
rest wandered outside and walked
around.
Well have something to drink
when you are finished. said War
rem, and then we'll be ready to go
down the gravity road. They say
it's more fun than a roller coaster"
Helen felt a little nervous at the

prospect, although she wouldn't ad-
NIT it for worlds, but she finished her
correspondence and rose to go out to
join the others.
I'm ready" she said finally, after
she had slipped her punch and dis
played the folding cards that she
| had sent to her mother and to the
Stevens.
"Al right. We'll go then. for
one am getting hungry" said Bob.
so am l." said Warren.
1T seems to me as though we have
done nothing but eat ever since we
came West" declared Helen.
They went out and settled them
selves with some other people in the
gravity car. The incline was so steep
that no power other than gravity was
required to take them down and, al
| though the man who steerd some
what controlled the speed, still they
shot down with a velocity that took
Helen's breath away. They slowed
around the curves and in a few min
utes she became used to the speed
and was laughing with the rest and
enjoying it more than she would have
believed possible.
In the Muir woods. where grew the
giant redwoods of California, they
got out and walked into the tall
shadows to a little rustic inn, where
they we're to have lunch. Helen was
awed by the solemn grandeur of ii
all, the trees that grew so high above
her head that she could not see
where the branches swept the sky,
! and the rough bark of the hugel
trunks that were larger around than
several ordinary trees put together.
The earth had the red volcanic soil
that is so picturesque through the
West and was thickly strewn with pine
needles. The air was heavy with the
odor of balsan, and by the time they
had reached the rustic inn, buried in
the midst of the forest, Helen was
hungrier than she had ever been in
her life.
1T must be the air." she con-
fessed to Louise. And by the time
they were seated at the table which
was spread out on a little veranda
with nothing over their heads but the
trees they ate ravenously.
A very interesting man sat on the
other side of Helen. Warren had
spoken to him when they came up and
had told the rest that he was the
manager of the road.
Helen always remembered the meal
afterward as the occasion when she
ate her first artichoke. 1t was the
man next to her who laughingly in
structed her as to its use and flavor
and showed her how to dip the tender
leaves in the mayonnaise. They all
J laughed together over the episode.
'I don't know how it happened
that I never had eaten them" she
said, deprecatingly, but are they
used so very much in the East?'
Not very much said Warren,
grinning broadly. How do you like
them?"
"I think they are delicious" said
Helen, enthusiastically. II shall
give them to you for dinner the
first night we are back. It's nice
| when you are at your wits end to
know what to serve for salad"

will appear on this page shortly.)

afterward resulting from these women

afterward resulting from these women
getting the wrong children. The iv-
eryman told the novelist about 1t, and
the Virginian perpetrates the trick
in the book.
But he did not get the Hines story
of the cattleman near Lander who
employed a persevering German to
dig postholes and instructed him to
continue in straight line until told
to stop. Then the cattleman got sick,
went East for treatment, was sent to
Europe for the baths and didn't get
back for five months. The German
was still digging postholes, but his
straight line had led him into the
middle of the State of Colorado.

Democratic Record.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO-, Aug. g..
The certificate just made by State
Auditor Gordon to Superintendent of
Schools H. A. Gass apportions the
magnificent sum of S 1913, 470. 80 to the
public schools out of the State rev.
enues. The democratic State admin
istration in addition to the above
named sum has appropriated from the
State revenues for town, village and
rural high schools. teachers training
courses in the public schools, and for
supervision of district schools, the
further sum of 1896, 900. 03. From the
same source this year, the State
administration has appropriated the
further sum of $3.50, 900 90 for the re-
building of the normal school; which
was burned early last spring, at
Warrensburg. This unusually large
sum is 1926, 6S0.38 more than was ever
before given to the public schools at
any one time. in the foregoing, no
account is taken of the many hundreds
of thousands being given for the
maintenance of the State University,
Normal Schools, Lincoln Institute,
and schools for the deaf, dumb, blind
and the morally and mentally de-
fective.
The record made by the present
democratic administration in behalf
of the public schools surpasses all
previous %Iiberality, Notwithstanding
the representations being made by a
hostile and mendacious partisan press
working overtime in a vicious
effort to discredit the Democratic
Party of this State. Missouri demo-
Gratis knowing the truth will be proud
to proclaim it.
