SWIMMING POOL SANITATION.

Ninety-one large municipalities in
the United States have established
public swimming pools to meet the
demand for knowledge OF swimming.
Swimming pools are on the increase.
The United States public health SER
vice publishes an article by Wallace
A. Manheimer. PhD.. of Columbia uni
versity. on the results obtained from
careful examination of six swim
ming pools.
1t Is pointed out in the report that
IN swimming in polluted water, ty-
phoid fever, conjunctivitis, and other
diseases may be acquired. The report
gives in detail the results OF the bac-
terial analyses made Of the various
pools and of the effects of ref1ltratfon
and chemical disinfection. 1t is point
ed out that when the water is until
tered 1t is apt to be cloudy, thereby
making the danger of accidental
drowning very great. When refiltra-
ton IS practiced the water becomes
clear and this danger is obviated. The
report concludes that the cubic capa-
city of pool affects its sanitary con-
dttion; that the process of adding
dilution water is an efficient means Of
reducing the number of bacteria in

THAT s1oo. GOO BOND ISSUE.


The board of supervisors yesterday
passed a resolution authorizing the
issuance Of bonds in the sum of 500.
600 for the purpose of taking up out
standing warrants and to meet the
running expenses of the county. Thls
action was necessary because the
county has been running in debt, not
only in recent years but for many
years passed The action Of the su-
pervisors will not increase the tax
levy OF Lee county because the levy
for the bridge fund was reduced sufh-
GENTLY to take. care of the interest
on the new bond issue. The new
bond issue will not be payable until
1921, and at that time the old rail-
road and bridge bonds will be entire
ly paid off. 1t takes about $4,000
year to pay the railroad and bridge
bonds, which are accumnlations since
1857 and amount to 100000. It will
take a TX mill levy for the new bond
issue and 1t will pay off in the next
ten years, or less. Lee county can
then reduce her taxes 21a mills and
still make provision to pay the new
bond issue. The action Of the super
vfsors fsa along business lines. Lee
county warrants should be taken UP
rapidly and Lee county business at
fairs placed on solid business basis
just as soon as possible. The effort
Of the supervisors to purge the coun-
ty of lot of unnecessary expense, Is
also good sense. More and more the
business ideas are being applied to
county, state and federal
1t is quite correct. The
expended belongs to the peo-
pie and the people should get full
value for their money. When they do
there will be less complaint over
taxes and there will also be less
taxes.

Do You Want to Get Fat and
be Strong?

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods; rub
bling on useless flesh creams" or fol
lowing some foolish physical culture
stunt, while the real cause Of thin
ness goes untouched. You cannot get
fat until your digestive tract properly
Rssimilates the TODD you eat.
There is preparation known to re-
liable druggists almost everywhere,
which seemingly embodfes the miss
Ing elements needed by the digestive
organs to help them convert food in
to rich, fat-laden blood. This prep
aration is called Sargol and much re-
markable testimony is given as to it's
successful use in flesh building. Sar-

THE NATIONAL MELTING POT
The Right Rev. Paul P. Rhode, In
bidding farewell to those who hava
been especially in his spiritual care
on his departure to a new field o.
labor, spoke words which deserve
the biblical description. "As apples OF
gold in baskets OF silver are words OF
good counsel in season" Here they
are:
BE loyal to America, your country
Stand by the United States in times
of peace. in times of trial, and through
any crisis
These are times when some of our
fellow citizens by choice. pulled
diverse ways as they naturally are by
ancestral and chosen loyalties, nee
such adminitions as Bishop Rhode
gave. says the Chicago Herald. They
need to reflect where the greatest in,
terest and the greater duty lies. And
with reflection comes such response
probably unconscious but real, as the
members of the Cosmopolitan club
gave Wednesday night at their dinner
at the Sears-Roebucll branch of the
Y. NJ. G. A.
Fourteen racial stocks and national
divisions of the old world were repre-
sented But all agreed with John r
Palandech when, pointing to the en-
blems Of origin each wore and then
to the stars and stripes each also
wore, he said:
These are the flags of our native
lands-but this is our flag"
Whatever their ancestral origin, for
there can be but one fa:.
The power of that truth was striking
ly shown In the response given :"
words OF good counsel in Chicago the
other evening by men Of 80 many d.
verse races and national origins. They
showed the melting pot of the Amer
lean spirit in actual operation.

calcium hypo-chlorite renders the

The RETURN.

THE RETURN.
Upon the village as be passed
The spell Of August lay;
He walked as one who treads again
A long familiar way:
Yet those who met him merely met
A stranger, grim and gray.
He saw the old house through the
trees
That crowned the little hill.
The hush of twilight held the world,
And all the fields were still;
But in the woods beyond1the field
He heard a whip-poor-will.
The little windows of the house
With lights became ag1eam;
He paused a time where shadows
formed
Outside the CHEEKY beam.
AND saw the house with eyes Of one
Who dwells within q dream.
For 10. woman's form is there
Beside the trellised door;
she scans, with eager, longing eyes,
The road that runs before,
Yet on her grave the grass has grown
For twenty years or more!
And other forms of other years;
A girl with braided hair;
"a manly lad with laughing eyes:
A woman. young and fair;
And four men coming from the
house
What is the load they bear!
He turns and leaves the house behind.
The stranger. grim and gray;
Too many ghosts are gathered there.
He cannot. cannot stay.
Yet ever calls that house to him,
"A thousand miles away!
