WATER is NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
May Be Cool, Clear and Sparkling, and
Free From Odor and Still Be
Full of Disease Germs.

One cannot judge the purity Of wa
ter by it's looks. Things visible to the
naked eye are usually harmless. The
invisible germs of disease are by fa.'
the more injurious to human beings.
Most people feel that drinking water
is safe to use if it is cool, clear, spark
ling and free from color or odor. Such
is not the case. Even the sparkle may
be due to decomposition products. The
babbling brook usually contains more
dangerous bacteria than standing wa
ter. Streams do not purify themselves
by flowing over their rocky beds. The
mistaken notion that they do is respon-
sible for a great deal of vacation typ
phOid fever.
The safest method of destroying dis
ease germs in water is by actual boil
ing. Boiling the water for five minutes
will kill the germs of typhoid and al
lied diseases. Chlorine may also be
used to disinfect the water.
A stock solution is made by taking
level teaspoonful of full-strength chic
ride of lime and rubbing it up to a
thin paste free from Jumps in teacup
with a little water. This should then
be made up to a cupful and diluted
with three more cupfulS of water and
then poured into a bottle and tightly
corked. Add a teaspoonful of this stock
solution to each two-gallon pail Of
drinking water, thoroughly mixing it
and allowing 1t to stand for ten min
utes. This will give about one-half
part of free chlorine to million parts
of water, which will destroy all typhoid
or dySentery producing germs
