WASTE Of WATER
T|RSAUTHORITIES
TO C|TY'S DANGER
BY BILL PRICE.

United States army engineer Of
ficers in charge Of the Washington
aqusduct, the great conduit supply
ing this city with water, agreed to-
day that conservation Of water by
Government departments is vitality
essential. -
Colonel Fisk, the officer in charge,
has already made recommendations
to the chief Of engineers for submits
sion to Congress, strongly urging
that Congress no longer overlook
conditions by which millions Of gal
Ions Of water are wasted daily!
The engineers do not fear an immedi-
ate scarcity Of water In Warrington.
but they realise that thSre may be sud-
den demands upon the supply that
would seriously test the capacity Of the
aqueduct To avoid this they urge
that every Government department and
bureau be metsred and that methods
be adopted that will conserve TIE sup
ply now being used for condensing.
Waste In Printing once.
The Government Printing Office IL
taken as an example Of water wasting
by both the water department Of the
District and the engineers Office. The
printing office. It was stated today, Is
using over 100000 gallons Of filtered
water daily. BY the installation Of
proper cooling apparatus. by which the
water could DO used over and over,
they estimate that $4,000 gallons
each day would be ample.
A number OF minor Government es-
tablishments are already equipped
with meters, which have the effect, It
Is stated, of economy. Similar install
lations in all Government institutions
and in private homes and business
concerns would go far toward reliev-
Ing q threatened danger.
While the chief OF engineers has
long had in mind plans for charging
the water supply It IL the opinion to-
day OF engineer officers that 10 there
Is conservation OF water, through In
telligent legislation In Congress, the
present system Is sufficient to serve
the District OF Columbia until the
population reaches 600. 900 or more.
6sy000, 900 Gallons Used q Day
The figures Of the water depart |
ment OF the District Government show
that during a number OF days this |
summer the total consumption OF
water has been 5000, 900 gallons
each day. The maximum capacity OF
the aqueduct, working daily without
strain, would be 100000 gallons. |
On some days this year compared with |
the same period last year the increase
In consumption has been 10000, 900
gallons daily.
The reservoirs OF washington's
water system contain . supply of
about ten days In the event Of any
thing happening to the Gqueduct.
There will be no accommodation
by the chief OF engineers looking |
toward turning over the aqueduct to |
the District of Columbia so that the
entire system may come under one |
control, instead OF the divided re-
sponsibility that now exists.
This vexatious double control sys-
tenn is at the bottom of the uncon- /
Germ which the District Water Depart
ment asserts is shown by Government |
when complaint is made /
about the wasteful misuse OF water.

Barnes, DR.. Lewis Flemer. N. G. Gibbs
and J. Bond Smith, the law clerk for
the Postodice Department, secretary
OF the committee.
To Prosecute II Necessary.
The object of this committee is to
study medical advertising with q view
OF protecting the public against in.
jury, imposition and fraud. ReAsona-
BILE efforts Will be made to cause the
discontinuance OF false and deceptive
advertising by moral suasion, but II
this method fails the provisions Of
the false advertising law will be In
voked.
For the information of the public
and advertisers, the committee has
adopted the following rules:
The committee will consider prepa-'
rations containing ingredients detri-
mental to health, such as hair prepa-
, rations containing wood alcohol or
lead compounds; cosmetics containing
corrosive sublimate or other mercurl-
ais; soothing syrups containing
opiates, etc.
The committee viii consider prod
ucts for which false or unloading
claims. representation, or promises
are made, such as alleged cures for
consumption, BriEht's disease, dia-
betes, appendicitis, gall stones,
drunkard's liver, radium preparations

paralysis. cancer. epilepsy. Bright's
disease. diabetes, and others.
Advertisements Of drugs intended
for the treatment of Venercal dis
eases.
Note-The advertising Of these
drugs iE repugnant ard Offensive to
the public generally. The impression
intended to be given by the adVer-
tisers OF these products IN that they
may be safely and effectively used by
those afflicted. II is wen recognised
that these diseases cannot be safely
and effectively treated by the layman,
and the advertisements are therefore
misleading, deceptive, and contrary to
the best interests of the public well
fare, and actually further the spread
OF the disease.
The committee viii endeavor to in
duco the drug trade to refuse to
handle products found by the COM
mittee to be inimical to the public

CLAIRE.

Swallows travel to and fro,
And the great winds come and go,
And the stead breezes blow,
Bearing perfume, bearing love.
Breezes hasten, swallows fly,
lowered clouds forever ply,
And at MONDAY you and |
See the same sunshine above.
Dew and rain fall everywhere,
Harvests ripen, flowers are fair.
And the whole earth is bare
To the moonshine and the sun;
And the live air, famed with wings,
Bright with breezes and sunshine,
rings
Into contact distinct things,
And makes all the countries
one.
Let US wander where we will,
Something kindred greets US still;
Something seen on vale or hill
Falls familiar on the heart;
So, at scent or sound or sght,
Severed souls by day and night
Tremble, with the same delight
Tremble, half the world apart.
