About Purity In Water

In SPITE OF AGITATION and frequent
typhoid epidemics whole communi-
ties are often careless Of their water
supply. Larger towns are often in
greater danger Of impure water than
villages, since numbers of people at
tract manufacturing plants which
frequently pollute the available water
supplies.
If water is impure enough, it
brings disease, Of course, H water is
slightly impure, it is bad for wash
ing, and bad for the digestion. The
Hirsh test for water is so simple
that anyone who doubts the purity
of the water can easily try it at
home.
Take a pint bottle Of clear white
glass and I'LL it about two-thirds full
of water. Add half spoonful Of
granulated sugar. Cork the bottle
with a clean, new cork-a glass stop
per is better-stand it in the light in
a warm room. If within forty-eight
hours it becomes cloudy or milky 1t
is not pure enough to drink.
Some of the larger cities have
places connected with the public
health departments where anyone
can be inoculated against typhoid
free Of charge. New York has such
q place, and other cities as we'll. The
patient goes for three NEGOTIATIONS, a
week apart, each time having the an
ti-typhus Injection forced into the
arm with hypodermic needle. 1t is
not painful, though the arm swells a
bit the first and second injection.
The first time the patient feels
drowsy and sore for a few hours.
But for three years he or she Is prac-
tically immune from danger.
Inasmuch as plenty of pure water
is an essential of good looks, every
woman who wishes clear eyes and a
fine complexion should see that the
water supply in her home is abso-
lutely pure. Even artesian wells can
become infected by nearby digging
or building. 3

many RESPOND TO
FOOD LICENSING

That no firms in the territory
which should secure, food licenses
have thus far failed to apply for them
is the announcement made by ]. F..
Child, federal food administrator. As
a matter of fact, says the administers
tor, there are many dealers anxious to
secure these licenses who do not do
a business Of over 100000 a year,
and therefore do not need them.
The food licenses are now in tho
process of issuance and, at later
date, Mr.. Child will conduct an hives
tigatfon to ascertain whether any
firm subject to licensing has failed
to secure its license. Action will be
taken In those instances where no Ii
eenses have been secured
Mr.. Child is of the opinion that
about 100 firms in the territory will
have to be licensed Many firms not
subject to licensing laws have made
their applications. and many have
consulted Mr.. Child as to whether it
is necessary for them to apply. Those
firms in doubt, adds Mr.. Childs,
should fill out the forms and mail
them to Washington and then let the
food administration decide. This is
the safest way, he says.
The administrator points out that
it will be necessary for all firms
which have applied for licenses to
prepare Inventories OF those items IL
censed as of November 1. These will
be called for by him as soon as the IL
censes are issued, and he advises
firms to begin work on their inyen.
tories Immediately in order to save
time.
