Pure DRINKING Water.

The geologic resource of greatest
value to the health of communities is a
supply Of pure drinking water 1t is
generally recognized that number of
diseases. prominent among which are
typhoid fever and amoebic dysentery..
a disease more common in tropical CHI
mates. but found also in the United
StateS-are contracted through cOntam9
mated water or contaminated food.
Therefore supply of pure water will
eliminate one of the sources of such
infection. Ii
1t is highly desirable to obtain sup
plies of domestic water from sources
other than the shallow wells, some Of
them open. that are found near many
houses. The water obtained from deep
wells has percolated through sands and
other material for SO great distance
that it's impurities have been removed
by filtration. and it possesses SAM
tary value that cannot well be Overes-
timated. for such water is free from
the bacteria causing typhoid fever and
the protocol causing amoebic dysen-
terry, and its use obviates the necessity
for shallow wells that may serve as
breeding place for Anopheles, the mos
quito to which malarial infections is

Tuberculin Test Law Expires This
Year.

As the law now stands Wisconsin
farmers will not be paid, after this
year, for animals reacting to the tu-
berculin test.
That many of the farmers of the
state will be encouraged to test their
herds and dispose of ''reactors" before
the expiration of the law is the opinion
of II. L. Russell of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station, who for years has
been aiding the stockmen of the state
in fighting this disease.
Wisconsin legislatures, he recently
declared. ''have been liberal in giving
assistance to aid in cleaning up the
herds of the state. The attitude of the
state has been responsible for much of
the progress which has been made. =
Wisconsin was the first state in the
Mississippi valley to start campaign
against tuberculosis and it is still a
leader in the work. Dean Russell is
convinced that in Wisconsin very many
farmers appreciate that in cleaning up
their herds they are not only benefting
themselves. but are helping the coun-
try as whole in the promotion of bet
ter health conditions, and the advance
ment of the livestock industry.

WASHINGTON at NIGHT.

Night life comes on swiftly when it
gets really started. Night in Washing
ton is beautiful girl drawing black
velvet, jewel bespangled cloak over
white shoulders. The streets are light
ed with dull bronze, rather low lamps:
artistica1ly perfect lamps that hold dull
white, glowing globes. The lamps are
very close together. They are the
pearls that The girl winds about her
throat and in her duskA1 hair.
The White House stands out. glim-
mering boldly against the black Of the
foliage. it's lighted windows dimmed
with tightly drawn curtains. What Of
national portent may not have hap
pened behind those same curtained
windows! Perhaps fear has grappled
with bravery behind the shelter of the
friendly walls; perhaps hatred and love
have FLASHED. Perhaps towards have
become strong, and surely strong men
have wept. Characters and homes and
nations have been nodded behind those
friendly blinds.-Margaret e. Sang

How Jefferson Dressed.

In dress President Jefferson was gov

gance. Pride costs more than hun

ungainly pantaloon, only the watchful-
ness of his body servant saved him
from unbelievable anachronisms of cos

lutte king, he often wore the garments
of several different periods together,
like superimposed geological strata or
the historic remains in the Roman

Luminescent Illumination.

There are several substances that be-
come luminescent after long exposure
to the rays Of the sun, although none
of them emits a brilliant light. It is
believed that this luminescence could
be greatly increased if the problem
were investigated with as much care
as that given to the development of
the incandescent gas mantle. 1t has
been suggested that If a luminescent
paint were spread on buildings exposed
to brilliant sunshine they would give
off stored sunlight during the night
and thus preserve one element of the
radiant energy of the sun. One au-
thority remarks. "The general use of
such a paint would enable the more
powerful methods of artificial illumi-
nation to be limited to special locations
and confine the use of existing systems
to indoor service and to spots where
little daylight penetrates. Washing

Editor a Free Giver.

A man will go to a lawyer for few
words of advice, to doctor for pre-
scription, or a merchant for goods, and
he expects to pay literally for the SER
vice or the goods. But the editor is
expected to give free publicity that
builds up mans business. 1t may be
that printer is practical enough to
see that he is in losing game and fig
ure his prices to make his income bare
ly exceed his expenses. When he raises
prices many of his patrons conclude
that he is eXtortlonate, and they send
to city for printing because condi-
tions there make lower prices possible.
But these men 60 not expect that the
city paper will be giving it's time and
effort to developing and building up his
home town. If times are little hard
and business dull the first expense the
business man cuts off is the printer.
Thus it is that so many towns are
served by weak newspapers. An ed
itor who has the ability to get out
~creditable paper will not always be con-
tent with the ''glory of being an ed
itor.
Nor is the public entirely to blame.
People have been educated to this Gus
tom and the average country editor is
not strong enough to overcome it. He
is there with his plant, his home and
family are there, he still holds the
commendable ambition to be can ed
itor," perhaps he is sincere in desire
to be helpful, upbuilding influence in
the world. He has invested all he has
and not being fit for any other bust
ness, he hangs on in the losing game,

The democratic party should hold a
real, old fashioned state convention for
the nomination Of United States sena-
tor and state officers, and the several
county, congressional, senate and as
sembly districts should likewise hold
conventions for the nomination of can
didates to the offices to be filled in the
respective districts. This progressive,
tomfool contrivance, known as the pri-
mary election law, is wholly unsuited
to meet the requirements Of proper
selecting agency for the choosing of
candidates for public offices, as it pre-
cludes consideration and deliberation,
the essential prerequisites to wise
choice. We have had altogether too
much Of the personally conducted con-
ventiOn wherein one or two men assem-
BILE in hotels, make ticket, generally
one with their names at the head, and
then coolly submit it for Endorsement
to the electors under conditions which
inhibit investigation into fitness, merit
or party claim The result of such
party management has been to build
up factions and cliques with self chosen
leaders as the nucleuses and the setting
at work of the elements of party dlsin-
tegration, elevating the individual
above the party, and causing demo-
Gratis to designate their allegiance by
using the surname of a self constituted
leader as an adjective. The republican
party Of today is fair example Of pri--
mary election wreckage. It's factions
are farther apart than the old parties
were twenty years ago. And our own
good, democratic party has its ailments
and troubles, all traceable to the pri-
mary election law. We need a conven-
ton for the purpose of eliminating the
deadwood and fallen timbers which
have accumulated during the past fiji
teen years. 1t should be called by the
state central committee, and made w
of representatives chosen In the mane
ner in vogue before the adoption of the
primary election law.-Msdisonian.

Bazaars In Asia.

Streets in the bazaar districts of
Asiatic cities are only eight to ten feet
wide. The larger shops are eight by
feet, with one side giving directly on
the street. In each bazaar is a khan
for every ten or twelve shops. These
khans are two stories high with an
open court in the center and rooms on
the four sides. all opening into the
court A door leads from the open
court into the street. Rooms are let to
different storekeepers for storage pur

NEVER before in the history of re-
publican conventions in Wisconsin did
there come together greater number
of representatives of the people, says
the Madison Democrat. Even in the

were not so rare, the limit was less
than a thousand delegates. But here
there gathered Thursday fully 1900,
