CITY WATER SAFE

An analysis just made Of the city
water shows it free from typhoid
germs. Only three cases Of typhoid
have been reported to the Health De
and have not used city water. Open,
unscreened and uncared for o%uthouses
swarming with flies all summe are
found in many parts of The city.
These unprotected out closets in
which flies breed and flourish are a
menace and without doubt the source
of the typhoid infection, from which
the disease spread.
The report has been circulated that
dead sparrows in large numbers have
been removed from the water tank
The city engineer informs the health
department that this is an absolute
falsehood. That the tank is well COW
cred at all times. On Saturday all
mains, dead ends and hydrants will
be flushed. If you want to know any
thing about the city water or health
conditions come to the health depart
ment and the proper officials will
gladly give you the true condition OF
affairs.
Do not spread false reports by let,
ting your tongue run wild. Thought
less gossip may create panic. The
city water has been all right for sew
eral years as has beer evidenced by
the reports published by the health
officer. 1t is just as good as it ever
was. City Health Department.

STAND BY THE BOYS

Liberty Loan for Liberty Alone
was the slogan that was given out
when this second loan was proposed.
Today il means more TO Us than il
did the day II was first given tongue.
Since then va have had given Us The
text Of many z message between the
German ambassador in this country
and his royal master. il which the
perhdy OF that ambassador is plainly
shown. Today we know for a certain,
" that II we would have liberty we
must have this Liberty Loan. We can
see from these disclosures that the
of liberty was to have been
overthrow if the German army was
victorious. We can see that the lib
erty Of America was 10 have been as
sailed. Our very integrity as a nation
was TO have been trampeled under
foot. Can we then in view of these
facts neglect, for one minute. the call
to give as we have never given before,
that u country may be saved and
the cause whose name this loan bears
made triumphant.
Are our dollars more precious thar
our sons? Shall we give of the blood
of the nation and hold back the gilt
tering gold? Shall the mother whc
gives her boy. the wife who surrend
ers her husband and the fair Made,
who tearfully, yet joyfully, gives t
the nation her sweetheart, put tn
blush of shame on the face of thu
man or woman who has money? The,
give their dearest possession, thei,
all. And the man who gives all tn,
gold and stores with which he Is en-
dowed falls far short Of them in tn
hour Of sacrifice.
Fight we must because it would b.
dishonor to turn back. These dea
and precious ones, whose going ha
wrenched the heart strings Of man,
a heart, must be supported on tn
front. Money alone car back then
up. They have made the sacrifice
now let us who remain at home full
nish the sinews of war to make thei
gift worth something. The ties o
blood, the love of kindred and cour
try, the belief in our ideals Of govern
ment call on every man and woman
to come willing to the front in TIL
great campaign and lay their none,
down that the boys, the country an
our national honor may be supported
Do your bit. Do your duty. Buy
bond. Buy more bonds.

A WOMAN AT THE HELM

When Brother Webb. OF the YES
slngton Springs Republican went away
10 war. he said that be must suspend
his paper. and perhaps he thought he
did. But no, a faithful wife steps into
the breech and the good paper comes
out just the ame as ever. And with.
out any reflection on the editor who
has gone to fight for freedom We truth
fully can say that the paper is just
as good as ever. He said in his fare
well that ten years ago he was a pen
niless alien and that since going to
Washington Springs he had p~rospered,
met his wife and married her and
was sorry 70 leave. OF course he was
sorry TO leave and the way that wife
has come to the support of the paper
shows the reason that he was sorry.
Amy man should be sorry to leave such
a wife, and the Register predicts that
the profession will be sorry to see her
leaye the paper when the soldier
comes back.
Can woman do her bit in this war?
Ask Mrs. Webb, she knows. She is
doing her bit and doing it in a way
that is an honor to her womanhood
and a JOY to the husband she has had
TO part with. She is an example of
the kind of that the west has
given to the world time and time
again. The kind who are not daunted,
whose courage rises TO every emer-
gency. The kind whose foremothers
shone as queens among the pioneers.
The Register welcomes Mrs. Webb
to the ranks Of n~ewspaperdom and
wishes her every success in her en-.
deavor to keep living this work to
which her husband was giving his best
effort and constant attention.
