WATERW0RKS SUGGESTED FOR
COUNTRY RESIDENCES
Prof. Sevats of A. & M. College.
Wants Demonstration Made at
Mississippi. Alabama Fair.

Prof. D. Scoates of the agricul-
tural extension department of the
A. & M. College was in Meridian
Wednesday was a caller at the Me-
ridian Board of Trade and outlined
to Secretary James Bozeman his
plans for rural farm improvement.
Among other things, Prof,
Scoates said he wished to interest
local hardware dealers in carrying
supplies to fit up farms with run.
ming water for the premises and
residences of the farmers of Lau~
derdsle and other counties.
In the opinion Of Prof. Scoatss,
farms can be equipped at a very
small cost with water supply, and
the local dealers can furnish the
equipment at prices really lower
than the Chicago mail order
houses, which have made q special-
ty of providing waterworks for
homes in rural districts.
1t was the purpose Of Prof,
Scoates In coming to Meridian to
interest local hardware dealers in
furnishing to the trade the neces-
sary material for the farm water
works and also TO induce them to
put in q demonstration plant at
the Mississippi-Alabsma Fair this
fall. and to thus show the farmers
how easy it would be to have run,
ming water in their homes and how
small the cost, together with the
advantages that would ensue.
The prices for waterworks range
as follows: $1S,40; $33.l5i $50
| to Sl2S. 80. ---~----~
Mr.. Scoates considers these
prices within the range of the
average farmer and believes with
q demonstration at the fair large
numbsr of farmers will resolve to
equip their homes with water.

URGES HEALTH INSPECTION.
DR.. Evans Addresses Summer Stu.
dents At A. & M. College.

l
Before an audience of over zoe
summer school students and visit.
ors in thr college chapel Wednes.
day DR.. W. A. Evans, Chlcago's
widely known health authority
who is member of the first class
to graduate from the Mississippi
A. and NJ. College in 1888, spoke
for over an hour on Health In
spection Of Public Schools" He
was introduced By Judge w. b..
Houston, of Aberdeen. who men,
toned the fact that in addition to
his many other activities, DR..
Evans is now at the head of an Or
ganization to take care of the wives
aud families of soldiers who have
been ordered to the Mexican bord.
er.
The objects of inspection in the
public schools, according to DR..
Evans are to improve sanitary con.
ditions in and around the school
houses, to control contagious
diseases by the prevention of epi-
denies, to prevent the spread of
minor ills, and to improve the
bodies of the men and women of
the future by correcting physical
defects in the children of the pub.
lie schools.
Every school room," Dr..
Evans declared should be a clinic
for the teaching of hygience and
sanitation. He said that with a
small expenditure of money every
public school could install a few
simple instruments, such as ther.
mometers, hygrometers for determ-
lining the conditions Of tempera>
ture and humidity of tho atmosp-
here under which the children live
in school rooms.
by teaching the children the
use of these instruments and by
fitting up q laboratory for anslyz-
ing samples of milk and other
foods from the homo pantry, many
valuable lessons in home santa
tion may be taught in the public
school,"
Dr.. Evans then discussed the
method of prevention and control
Of measles, diphtheria and other
contagious diseases Of common oc.
currence among school children.
He states that as the closing
down of the schools during these
epidemics did little if any good, a
better practice was to employ a
school physician or nurse to look
after the sick children.
During the course Of his lecture
he urged the teachers to train the
children in correct postures, and
mentioned the physical develop
meut which tends to resist tuber.

81 years comparing the present
plant with thr msager equipment
