10. Sprinkling Filters-These Al
tiers. also. are made o fcoarse ma
terial, but the sewage 10 sprinkled
continuously upon the surface 30 a.
to trickle slowly over the pieces OF
filter material. the outlet drains be-
ing left open all the time. This
method has lately come into favor
as requiring much less area than
sand filters. though not so efficient,
and Is now the method commonly
recommended where circumstances
render it advisable to adopt high rate
of alteration, though at some cost
Of efficiency.
II. Methods of Sewage Disposal
Now Most Commonly Used-These
are: (a) dilution where purifica-
ton il not required. Where, on the
other hand. publication Is required
The usual methods are (b) septic
tanks. or by (c) settling tanks, fol-
lowed by final treatment by (d) In
termittent sand filters, or by 10y
sprinkling filters.
~. Dilution-In this method of
sewage disposal the sewage is simp-
~ discharged into the ocean. or into
lake, river. or other body Of
water. dilution by the water being
relied upon to prevent the creation
Of q nuisance by the sewage. Ir
the water bacterial processes Of puri-
fication by decay start up, which,
after q sufficient time, break up the
organic compounds in the sewage and
finally render 1t harmless.
Dilution has. over other methods,
the one advantage Of cheapness; and
this is still sufficient to decide in its
favor in the majority of cases, when
the body or stream Of water utilized
Is sufficiently large to prevent nui-
sance. Chicago furnishes q most
notable example of large expenditure
to secure sufficient dilution for ite
sewage, having already expended
over $50,00O,0OO in building the
great drainage canal to take water
from Lake Michigan for this pur-
pose. /.
-. Most cities in the United
States dispose Of their sewage by d.
luton and the sewerage engineer
should always give the possibilities
along this line full consideration. He
will usually advise adoption Of the
method lat least for the present.
where It Is cheaper. and where 1t ID
certain that nuisance will be Great
ed, nor serious damage or danger to
other communities or persons result.

SuVpSAA8 WulCN ever ID O6SL suited
to local conditions, and often using
. combination Of the two.
~. In favor, of the separate sys-
tenn the following points have been
cited:
IS. The sanitary sewage which
constitutes the dry-weather how o.
combined sewers is so very small in
comparison with the storm sewage
that In circular sewers, which are
the most economical to build, II
forms merely trickling stream with
little velocity over the bottom of the
large sewers required; while in the
separate system the sewers are pro-
portioned for this small volume. and
the sewage consequently has good
depth and Y locity. Moreover, sani-
tary sewers are free from the sand
and other street detritus which are
inevitably washed into combined sew.
ers during storms. and which are
especially troublesome in forming de-
posts. Hence. in the separate sys-
tenn. 1t Ia easier to make sewers self
cleansing from deposits.
26. Above the low-water line in
combined sewers, the extensive inter.
Tor surfaces OF the large sewers re-
CURED become smeared with nth fr
times Of feed, which remain to de-
cay and produce foul gases after the
flood subsidies.
~. On account Of the compare
lively small size Of the sanitary Sow
ers OF the separate system, it 10 east
er to flush them so as to keep them
clean. Automatic dush-tanks can BIZ
used at small expense to do this very
satisfactorily.

Offers Defense
 Free of Charge

o. Gibson. one Of the p,omire-; members of the Cochise county bar, anc a strong advocate of the prohibition amendment, which goes into effect at l2 o'clock tonight. has issued a notice to the effect that f any drugg st, docto, or merchant, is arrested for selling or importing any medicine, toilet or culi- nary article into the composition Of which alcohol enters. will be defended by him without charge, or if any minis ter is arrested for administering the sacrament with fermented wine, this will also apply.
 Attorney O. Gibson has long been an advocate of prohibition for Arizona. and stated today that he believed that merchants and doctors had been wrong ly informed as to the interpretation of the prohibition amendment, and its acts, and offers his services free in the defense of any one in Cochise county arrested for violating the law. under the head of druggist. merchant. doctor, minister or priest. as brought out in his statement.
 Mir. Gibson is familiar with the amendment, and states that 1t abso- luteiy does not contain any clause or sentence prohibiting the use of sacra- mental wine or the use of articles con- taining alcohol. by druggists. doctors. etc. of flavoring extracts and the like. and to substantiate his statements has offered his services in the manner stated. This is the first offer of this kind to ap- pear in the state. and as always. it's "Cochise County First. the World Af- terward"
