The City Water

Report of the city water supply
by the State Board of Health has
been made to the city officers. A
detailed report can be seen by
application to the city clerk, the
health officer or the superintend-
ent OF the light and water depart
ment. The Miner is in receipt of
card announcing the following /:
"On October %, 1917, an in
vestlgation was undertaken on
the municipal water supply at
the request Of the executive off
Ger. The supply was obtained
from Shagawa Lake. The field
survey shows conditions which
were satisfactory. In the analyt-
ical results indications of con-
tamination were not found in the
samples direct from the pump un-
der the prescribed rate Of treat
ment. This supply was consid-
cred suitable for public consump-
ton.

expended along those lines and
will keep things going until July
l, 1913. 1t provides 81, 100, 900
for work among the men of the
American army and navy in this
country and $11, 1894, 900 for work
for American forces in France
and England.
General Pershing authorized
the statement that the greatest
service which America could i'm
mediately render to France was
to extend the service Of the army
Y. M. G. A. to the French army.
To comply with this request 3d.
649, 900 will be necessary. Offer
ing army Y. M. G. A. service to
Russia is a practical way Of help
ing to hold the Russian army to-
gether through the coming win
ter. This has been proven by the
fact that the 10 divisions Of the
Russian army having army Y. M.
G. AS have not mutinied or man.
Tested any discomfort. Surely as
sisting in so telling a manner an
ally which has 100000 men un-
der arms is worth 1905, 900.
From Italy too has come the cry
of prO-German propaganda and
the need of improving the morale
of the troops. $1,000 must go
to that purpose. Another million
is required for the work among
the 100000 prisoners-of-war.
AS the army Y. M. G. A. is the
only agency which will be per-
mitted to look after the welfare
Of the American boys who may be
taken prisoner, and obtain COM
munication for them with their
families, this money will indeed
be we'll expended. $3,932,OO0 to
provide for inevitable expansion
completes the budget.
The work Of raising the Ely,
Winton and Section 30 appor-
tionment for the fund is now In
full swing. The work is to be
completed by Sunday night and,
it is confidently expected that the
allotment for this section of
$1,000 will all have been sub
scribed by that time.
The City has been divided into
districts and a committee named
to have charge of the collections
in these districts. The general

Stop Gasoline Waste

The Council of Defense has
prepared statitics to show that
one half, or one and quarter bill
lion gallons of the gasoline used
in the United States goes for the
operation of pleasure cars. In
order to supply the 350,000,00C
gallons needed for army use, the
people of the United States will
have to cut down on their con-
sumption.
The Council makes the follow
ing wise and pertinent sugges-
tons:
1. Don't let your gasoline en-.
CINE run idle.
2. Use kerosene instead of gas
oline for cleaning purposes in the
garage.
3. See to it that the curbure-
tor does not leak; form the habit
of shutting off the gasoline in the
tank.
4. Be sure that your machine
is adjusted to procure the most
economical mixture of air and
gasoline.
There is no reason for any un-
due privation; what is needed is
judicious economy, with waste re-
duced to a minimum.

TO RAISE PIGS
Scheme as Broached Last Week
by Mr.. 0verman Prom.
ises Well.

A. III. Overman, representative
for the Gowan-Lenning-Brown
company of Duluth, who last
week brought up scheme for
raising pigs by the boys and girls
OF the city has met with consider
able success in the several towns
he has visited and where he has
preached the subject.
AT Two Harbors he has placed
large number of little pigs
among older boys of the city who
have purchased the same and are
collecting the kitchen waste to
feed them. Several other places
are also considering the matter
and will probably enter into the
scheme Of saving the waste and
making pork and fats.
So far no applications have
been received from boys in this
city but it is the opinion of Mr..
Overman that there will be a de-
mand as soon as the beneficial re-
suits will become better known.
He says he can deliver at once
about 400 little pigs about five
weeks old. These are all north
ern raised pigs that are accli-
mated and Of the Poland China
breed. He has for delivery next
week &c Of the little porkers at
Highland which can be secured at
$3.50 Grated for shipment. This
will probably bring the total
cost Of the pigs delivered here at
about Sc each.
Ely boys wishing to get into
the game will do well to look up
the matter and either correspond
with Mr.. Overman or call on him
while in the city on Mondays and
Tuesdays.

view to increasing his weight. when
he was told to drink lots of water and
milk. This was at II o'clock in the
morning and at 4 o'clock he again APP
