SECURE GOOD WATER.
Analysis Of Supply At Nevada Is Most
Satisfactory.

analysis OF supply Il NeVado - NOSE
Satisfactory.
Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, July 22.-While the good
housewives Of Nevada may have some
trouble cooking beans in it, the water
in the new city well is Of good quality
for practically oil purposes and more
soft than the ordinary water found In
wells Of that depth-2,795 feet.
This Is according to q statement is
sued by Professor Coove, of Iowa State
College, who made an analysis Of the
water and submitted his report to City
Clerk Davis. The water contains about
.001 per cent Of mineral matter, or ap-
proximately 1000 parts to the million.
The analysis Is considered very salts
factory. The analysis follows:
Potassium chlorida ............ 1914
Sodium chloride ................ 2.91
Sodium sulphate .409.St
Calcium sulphate ..............146.84
Calcium acid carbonate .194.lS
Magnesium acid carbonate. ......144.72
Total mineral parts per million. 1925
In his letter which accompanies the
analysis, Professor Coove states that
while the water is soft-even more SO
than might be expected in we'll ar
that depth-yet 1t is not SO soft as the
water from the shallow well used at
Ames but is better than the water from,
the 1000 foot well there. In sanitary
way 1t IL graded o. X. and as for the
quantity there is no question.
Among other suggestions he says
that it is possible that some of the
ladies' will have trouble in cooking
beans In the water, but that II such is
the case and they communicate with.
him he will advise them as to how to
overcome the difficulty. The home
economics classes over at the college
experienced with the water for Gulf
nary purposes and found it ordinarily
satisfactory.

Gentlemen:-After an investi..
cation of the recent epidemic OF
Ptomaine poisoning in jasper

are forced to conclude that the
disease all came as the result OF
eating Head.cheese which was
made in your packing house
Thursday May IL. We are sat
listed that this product was
made in the usual manner ana
so it may seem surprising to you
/ that such an epidemic of disease
should occur from your product
under those circumstances, but
recent scit ntific research in Ger"
; many and United States mas
: definitely proven that such an
8 epidemic occurs as result OF an
infection of germs very similar
:, to Typhoid fever germs and oc'
. ours in the same way. In TINS
case we are satisfied that the
d;.eoso oarms oot into the meat
during the packing and were not
cooked long enough in the
r." stufed stomach" before putting

), epidemic from head che s.
d should be prevented by a NOR

X int the stomach. This SHOULD
q he cooked at least Pc hours o
IN 3 hours in water that is tho
:. roughly up tc the boiling pom
in order to xii all of the dlseas
germs. This is the only SAT
method as these germs require
great deal of heat to XIII unde
these conditions.
We are also certain that tn
disease got into your packln
