PROTECTION AGAINST TY-
PH0ID GERMS SlMPLIFlED
Pasteur Laboratories Have Developed
Filter That Gives Absolute
Protection.

A simple and absolute protection
against all impurities in drinking
water is now available to every
householder and institution by the
placing on the market of the Pas
teur Germ Proof Water Filter. The
Pasteur Laboratories in France have
invented a filter which is guaranteed
to remove typhoid germs from water
by simple filtration. Heretofore It
has been considered necessary by all
scientists to boil water in order to
free 1t from active typhoid bacteria.
This invention of Pasteur removes
this necessity.
In giving the filter to the public
Prof. Pasteur wrote the following let-
ter over his signature: This filter
was invented in my laboratory, where
its great usefulness Is put to test
every day. knowing its full scientific
value, wish it to bear my name.
The filter is now being manufac-
tured in the u. s. by the Pasteur FIJI
ter Sales and Repair Company.
1t Is made in several designs and
of various capacities to suit the needs
of families, schools, institutions and
even army and National Guard en-
campments. The Acetylene Light &
Agency Company has taken the local
agency and expected the first ship
ment by the Manoa, arriving yester.
day.
With the present agitation concern
ing the impurity of the Nuuanu water
supply, the introduction of this germ
proof filter, bearing the name and
Endorsement of the great Pasteur, will
relieve the anxiety of many house.

GYPsIEs WHO LIVE ON WATER.
Fifty Thousand Nomads "Run TIL

The lower Mississippi River is one Of

early autumn. people who dread the cold
and who seek long winter rest leave
Ohio and upper Mississippi River towns
and seek the THOUSAND miles of flowing
road from Cape Girardeau of the Gulf
OF Mexico. This fall migration Of hu-
manity-this wandering of river gypsies
is one of the strangest in the country.
1t is said there are more than $4,000
river people living on the 100000 miles
of navigable streams in the Mississippi
basin. These are the shanty boaters
who dwell in various ways on the riv-
ers and rubbing the banks" Besides
these river people there are large num-
berS of sportsmen and temporary resi-
dents afloat in motorboats and house,
boats. making a population of perhaps
100. 900, not including the steamboat
ers" who scorn the shanty boaters.
The shanty boaters are strange float

boats, which they call cabin boats"
and which range all the way from a
