TO PURIFY WATER
BLEACHING POWDER WILL KILL
UNPLEASANT DOOR.
Not Hard Task, Nor Expensive, to
Remove DisagreeabIe Smell From
the Contents of cistern, Says
Prof. Newman.

If the cistern water has disagree
able odor it can be made sweet and
disable by treating with bleaching
powder, according to P. j. Newman,
assistant professor of chemistry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
1.-THE rain water as it comes from
the roof is laden with HETEROGENEOUS,
which under the right temperature
conditions, grow and multiply" said
Professor Newman. when summer
rains are allowed to run into the els
tern this ideal temperature is soon
reached and the development of these
organisms proceeds rapidly. The un-
pleasant odor is due mainly to the life
processes and decay of the BACTERIA
Bleaching powder, or calcium hypo-
chlorite, can be purchased in any drug
store at from 20 to 80 cents pound.
One-third to one-fourth of pound is
sufficient to treat so to 100 barrels of
water.
The powder as it comes from the
store is placed in a pail or any con-
venient receptacle, which is then filled
with water. The mixture is stirred for
q few minutes until no more of the
powder will dissolve, and is allowed
to settle. The mixture is then poured
into the cistern.
Some of the powder will remain un-
dissolved in the bottom of the pail.
Pour in more water and repeat the
process as many times as may be nee
essary to dissolve all the powder.
Where possible it is preferable to agi-
tate the water in the cfstern while the
bleaching mixture is being poured in.
When used in the proportion indicat-
ed the powder is not in sufficient guam
tity to make the water unfit for use,
nor is it dangerous in any way. 1t
acts simply as deodorizer and a
germicide.

Familiar Names

It is said that William Shakespeare,
the well-known London teacher of sing
ing, was recently a guest of Frederick
Bacon at the latter's home in Pomona,
Cal. Now, Mr.. Shakespere's rudy,

geniality, and his rather high-pitched
speaking voice is in keeping with his
looks. The story goes that shortly
after his arrival in Pomona he stepped

possessing a diamond mine or being a
star actor for movie.
I shall tell you what happened to
one ship owned by Philadelphia.
The facts were given to me by the
president of one of the half-dozen large
banks in the city.
Two months ago this ship. which
originally cost s25O.OO0, was sold for
S35O,OOO. The new owner then char
tered it at $4,000 month.
A second buyer then appeared. who
cave a bonus of $4,000 for the boat.
Very shortly he resold the property
for which he had paid 100000. for

The present owner has chartered his
ship for a year at $4,000 month, or
$4SO,OOO.

NEGLECT to Praise.

In the faithful soul blooms the flow
er of alteration. If the soul wishes
nothing for itself and is paying n"
debt, if the greatness and the good
ness of God simply overwhelln it.
then the praise of God ascends to
heaven in song of pslam. We praise
God far too little. We accept thought
lessly the great and the good, we chide
at the evil. We neglect too much to
praise him and adore. So it is good
at least when occasion is given us in
the church in the beautiful hymns OF
praise from all ages, to attune oui
souls to such high accords which exali
and emancipate us even as they re-
iOice God in heaven.
