One method of d~isposing of garbage
is that adopted by many municipali-
ties of feeding it to pigs. Approx
mately 10 per cent of the total col
lection in 1909, according to reports of
cities of 10000 and over, was ham
died in this manner This may be a
slight improvement over dumping 1t,
but only for small places where the
garbage can be handled before it de-
Gays. So serious a matter is this sys-
TEN that the state of Colorado has
passed a law compelling all meat mar
kets to state whether the pork sold by
them was fed on untreated garbage.
Another state board of health finds
that of 1000 hogs fed on city garbage,
33 per cent had tuberculosis. 1.-THE idea
of eating garbage-fed pork is disgust

may be injurious.

Hainault forest, where the London
county council golf courses will be
closed for the remainder of the war,
bears a title that torments the anti
quaries, some of whom have gone to
Germany for a derivation. But "Hain-
ault" is really a modern corruption of
a word variously written "Hineholt" or
"HenhOlt," which stands obviously for
the Saxon hean-holt, meaning worth
less wood" This same name of
"Hyneholt" was formerly borne by

TURNING SEWAGE INTO ASSET
British City Shows How Profit Can
Be Made by Scientific Handling
of Waste EffIuent.

Through installation of modern sew
erage and garbage disposal systems
many cities of this country are secur-
ing valuable by%-prOducts from waste,
but our municipalities could probably
emulate to advantage the method
adopted by an English city in creating
IN asset out of a waste effluent diff
cult of disposal, says the Manufac-
turers' Record. According to n state
ment in commerce reports by the Unit
ed States consul at Bradford, England,
that city recover the grease in the
sewage coming from many wool-wash-
ing and securing establishments To-
Gated there and turns it into a profit
able by-product.
This grease by-product is said to be
of value in the leather-dressing trade
and to some extent in branches of the
textile industry.
The sales of the recovered grease
by the sewage works of the city of
Bradford were reported to amount to
S3S9,320 in 1916 at the present high
price of S122 a ton, and it is estimated
that for this year over $4,000 will be
realized from this source, in addition
to nearly $4,000 derived from the sale
of manure or fertilizer made from the
sludge left after the extraction of the
grease. Because of the development
of this by-product it is thought the
Bradford sewage work will be self
supporting in 1917.

PLANNING HOME is BIG TASK
Many Problems Of Location and Con-
struction Must Be Solved Before
Excavations Are Started.

A location for a home should be a
site with a restful aspect. Home build
ers should persistently and seriously
consider all of the numerous features
entering into the situation and con-
structiOn of a house which they them
selves are to occupy.
Very many problems of location and
!. construction must be solved even be-
fore excavations for a home are start
ed. All members of the family which
is to be the first occupant of the build
ing should be privileged, in fact, they
should be invited, to freely express
their ideas as to proper location and
construction, both IS to type or archi-
lecture, and construction materials.
Every requisite of those who are to
occupy the house, every possibility and
limitation should be carefully consid-
cred and decided upon before the site
IS chosen and before the plans are
drafted.
If part of the family goes to business
each day 1t viii be necessary to con-
struct the home near a railway sta
ton or trolley line. If there are chill
dren of school age in the family 1t is
imperative for the young folks well
fare to select a building site in a com
munity with good schools and to locate
the home within a reasonable distance
of the school or schools which the
children will attend. These and other
details should be given careful consid'

Representative Calvin d. Paige of
Massachusetts provides for the crea-
ton in the public health service of a
division of rural sanitation. The meas
ure has been pending for about a
month before a Democratic commit
tee, and Mr.. Paige has reached the
conclusion that the members of that
committee have no intention of taking
action. He has therefore presented a
motion to the House to discharge the
committee from further consideration
of the bill, and in that way to bring
it before the House for definite action.
Mr., Paige hopes to see the measure
become a law, and is doing everything
in his power to overcome opposition
to it.

The Presidents apparent change of

war with Germany is Incompetent
sible to Congressman Edwin E. Rob
bins of Pennsylvania Mr.. Robbins
thoroughly approved the words of
the President when he declared be-
fore Congress that I'VE will not
choose the path of submission and
suffer the most sacred rights of our
nation and our people to be ignored
and violated" But we are now treated
to an entirely different view of the
war. Mr.. Wilson proclaiming that we
are fighting for humanity and the es-
adjustment of Democraeies. Mr..
Robbins asserts that the war will
never be popularized with the Ameri-
can people if they are told that it IS
our purpose to go to Europe and over
turn established governments; to cast
down the German autocracy while re-
establishing the monarchy of Belgium.
or to drive out the dual monarchy of
Austria-Hungary while loaning money
to the kingdom of Italy. We are
fighting Germany because she has at
tackled our rights on the high seas.
and in the opinion of Mr.. Robbins the
President is making a fatal mistake
when he attempts to alter that prin-
ciple.
