The germs Of the so-called water

OF persons afflicted with those dis
eases They do not live long enough
outside the body and do not originate
spontaneously In nature. A few dis

mails TO man. but for the most part
the germs which get into drinking
water and produce disease come only
from human beings. II We keep the
waste products from the bodies o.
human beings and animals away from
our water supplies. we keep the watel
free from disease germs.
The usual sources Of farm watel
supplies are wells. springs and els

that without publication they cannot
often be considered safe for domes

Deputy Zeballos accused England of

British ships had practically blockaded
the River Plate since September. 1914
He then reverted TO the seizure Of the
Presidente Mitre, asserting that Great
Britain had violated the laws of the sea

a British flag, though it has been
proved that the ship was an Argentine
vessel and the cargo was nom -contraband
and destined for legitimate Argentine
trade"
II must add" he continued, that the
republic of Uruguay also has co-Operated
in the violation of assuming that the shin
is the legitimate property of the British
Government, thus converting it's capital
into naval base for the detention of
Britain's prizes. Montevideo for the last
year has been naval base for the Eng
