Within the past few days the city water has cleared up considerable and within a few days more it will in all probability assume it's normal appear ance and taste. Although the water has been discolored and had a some what disagreeable oder. it has been and is now perfectly safe for drinking purposes. Friday afternoon Supt. Ed win L. Burnap took a Bulletin repre- sentative to Fairview and Bogmeadow an an inspection trip. The water at Fairview is now cleared up, the vege- tation having settled on the bottom and on the rocks around the sides. Bottom can distinctly be seen from almost any point along the shore with the exception of the wall around the gatehouse, where the water is some 30 feet deep. Superintendent Burnap said Friday that the heavy rains of last month were responsible for the discoloration of the water, for the brooks rushing through the woods on the shed gathered up much vegetation which was carried into the reservoir. This was circulated all around the res ervoir by the currents and thus the water became discolored. Some of the vegetation contains a substance, per fectly harmless to health, but with a peculiar odor, and this was responsible for the fishy odor that was so much is now down about Is inches.
 Bogmeadow water has not been used since early in the summer of 1915.

sERV-US MINCE MEAL X

Package condensed mince meat ifs made up today of the best quality Of dried fruit and other items which. canJ be found, all of which are found inJ the United States with the exception1 of spices and entrants. The study off packing condensed mince meat has ex-i tended over a period Of 100 years and today is as near it's perfection as wei can possibly conceive. The sanitation m the factories in which it is packed is beyond reproach as the competition today in these lines necesSitateS theI guarding of the most minute detail of the business. The apples used are of the best grade of New York State, where in our opinion is grown the best favored apple known. ( The raisirs used are of the best quality ! seeded variety. No expense is con
 sidered in procuring the very highestJ grade Of spices, and sugar, as we all1 know, is always sugar, the different grades merely representing the differ ent favors or different grapulation re- quired for different purposes. Every particle of fruit or any other article used in the manufacture of nince meat is thoroughly cleaned and hand-picked by people trained to know what should e:a should not be used and in this manner the article comes to the house.

It is ourl thorough belief that 9 mince meat piei made from condensed mince meat is about as cheap a dessert as can bel prepared and yet as good.
 For many years mlnce meat was considered winter dish. Each year for the last ten our factory has had
 to increase it's capacity during the summer months until today it runs every day of the year with a regular force of helpers. We ship goods to every part of the country the entfrea year. This of course means a great
 increase in the use of these goods over when mince meat was eaten only in the winter months which means an in
 creased sale over the former winter consumption. s
