Washington, August 4--The pur

Rico and comprising an archipelago
known as the Danish West Indies, IL
provided for In a treaty signed today
by the United States and Denmark
It will be submitted at once to the
United States Senate and the Danish
Parliament whose Publications are
necessary to complete the purchase
agreement.
No serious opposition is expected in
the Senate, where action will be
sought at the present session. Since
negotiations began several months
ago, the Foreign Relation Commit
tee has been in close touch with de-
velopments and Its members are uh-
derstood to be virtually unanimous in
their approval
Lodge Is In Favor Of II.
Senator Lodge, the ranking Repub-
lican member, issued a statement to-
night declaring the argument in favor
of acquisition Of the islands are un-
answerable. The only objection ls ex-
pected to come from the Senator'S who
believe the purchase price of s25 900, g.
000 too great.
The outcome In the Danish Parlia-
ment is more uncertain, although the
expectation here is that the treaty
will be accepted European powers
which have wanted possession of the
islands for strategic military reasons
are not expected to look with favor
on the proposed sale to the United
States and they may bring strong
pressure to bear at Copenhagen.
1t is recalled that failure of a SINH
lar purchase treaty in the Danish
Parliament several years ago was at
tributed to German influence.

MAYsvILLE WATER
From the Reservoir Is Pronounced
Pure by the State Sanitary Engi-
neer and Inspector - Good
News TO Our Presidents.

Mr.. Frank Clarke, President OF M
local Board of Health, has received thu
following letter from the State Board
of Health through the State Sanitary
Engineer and Chemist:
Bowling Green, Ky, August 1, 1915
Mr.. F. II. Clarke,
Maysville, Kentucky,
Dear Sir:
We have made archaeological ex-
animation OF the samples of water
submitted by you from your City Wat
er Supply with the following results:
The sample OF raw river water
shows evidence OF heavy pollution
with colon bacillus or sewerage bac-
terra derived from Intestinal dis
charges.
The sample taken from the treated
water supply, We are glad to inform
you. does not'show any evidence what
ever Of pollution in the present in
stance. II is evident that on this oc-
cssion at least the purifying process
was sufficient
We have been informed that your
Water Company has purchased and
installed a liquid chlorine apparatus
This liquid chlorine process is the
very latest and best and most satisfac-
tory method of sterilizing water sup
plies and II properly operated, we
have no doubt that they will be able to
successfully remove all disease bear
ing organisms from the water. We
shall be glad to make analyses when
ever you desire.
Very truly yours.
d. p. CURRY,
State Sanitary Engineer
Mr.. Clark some time ago sent two
samples of water to Mr.. Curry for ex-
animation. One Of these was taken di-
rect from the river about two hundred
feet above the intake Of the pump
house. The other was taken from one
of the faucets and had water from the
reservoir after 1t had been treated at
the pump house. AS shewn in the let
ter, the first was heavily charged and
the latter entirely free from pollution
This report is from one of the best
chemists in the state, who devotes a
great deal of time to these examina-
tons. His word can be taken in the
matter as absolute roof that the water
from the reservoir is free from pollu-
ton.
A great many people have always
feared the river water in any form ex-
cept after being boiled for some time.
This assurance will drive away all
doubt as to whether the water is san
itary or not. Since the great epidemic
Of infantile paralysis in New York City
and other places sanitation has be-
come a great topic before the people,
more so than ever before.

His Many Duties.

happy homestead and plowed fields to
join the army there was not a prouder
man in the land. The first time he
was doing sentry-go the officer Of the
guard came by and called upon him to
give up his orders.
"Orders!' shouted Giles. "Give up
my orders?"
Eyes, certainly. What are you here
for?" demanded the officer, sharply.
ooh, I'm here to walk up and down,
stand at attention, wink at the girls,
look after Sergeant Murphy's bit of
garden and see that nobody pinches
his spades; also to see you amt about

The subject or drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation by
means of X-rays, the observations Of
scientists such as Cannon, GrutZner,
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water taken during di-
gestion is necessary in good bodily
housekeeping.
If your kidneys are sick, or you suf-
fer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back of the
neck, take little Anuric before meals.
This can be found at any good drug
store. Therefore my advice to young
or old is, always drink plenty of pure
water. And for long life, occasionally
take tablets of Anuric three or four
times a day.
Anuric acts-much more quickly
than lithia. You will find it dissolves
uric acid as water does sugar.
