FEDERAL OFFICER
ORDERS CHLORINE
FOR CITY WATER
Maj. Cobb Surprised His In.
StruCtionS Have Been Dis
regarded by City.

Chlorine gas is TO be used in South
Bends city water supply.
This Is 10 be done under the ex-
press orders Of the United States
government. given Friday afternoon
by Mai J. Q. Cobb Of the United
States health service.
When Mai. Cobb arrived in South
Bend Friday and investigated the
operation OF the city water works
he expressed great surprise that his
former orders regarding the use of
chlorine gas in the water were being
wholly disregarded by the city
health authorities and those in
charge OF the city water department.
a conference was held between
Maj. Cobb. members Of the health
board and ]. y. Luther. superintend-
ent OF the water department, Fri
day afternoon. Maj. Cobb expressed
great surprise that the use Of
chlorine gas in the water had been
discontinued here in spite OF his
orders that it be used.
Cobb is InsiStent.
Dr. L. g. F'reyermuth, secretary
OF the board OF health. and Supt.
Luther of the water department,
explained to the major thar the
water did not need the chlorine,
but the Z. s health officer Is said to
have been very insistent.
The health board secretary and
the water superintendent put up
arguments against the use OF chlor-
inc gas, but they were unable To
convince Mai. Cobb.
The apparatus purchased by the
city for the purpose OF pumping the
chlorine gas into the city water has
been out of commission for some
time. owing TO a breakage. but il is
now ia good repair, End its use is to
be made al once. according to DIR.
Treyermuth.
VIII Use Chlorine.
If the government insists that
we use chlorine gas in the city
water. of course we viii use it, said
Dr. Freyermuth Saturday morning.
But as Jim Luther says, what is
the use OF painting the lily white ? -
he added.
Dr.. Freyermuth maintains that the
city water is as pure as il possibly
can be, but he says that the chlorine
will be used. He also declared that
Dr.. J. y. Hurry Of the state board
OF health disagrees with the federal
health authorities in regard TO the
use OF chlorine in the water.

for maps that will show every water-hole

"going over" of the whole desert territory
every five years Towering one-ifth OF the

Indio, in southern California, was for
merly the dryest spot in the United States.
The climate was sizzling, and there was
not a drop to drink for man, for beast or
for plant. To-day in that locality water
in plenty is drawn from the depths of the
earth through pipes and distributed over
fertile fields and fruitful orchards. Indio
has now become a veritable garden, an
abode Of :heerfulness and prosperity.

found luxuriant creepers covered with big

saw a number Of desert mice-apparently
the only living creatures thereabout-en-
gagged in carrying the berries to their bur

Our desert territory within recent years
has assumed q new aspect from the point
OF view Of tourists. It Is looked upon as
the American vonderland-different from
anything that has hitherto been known or
understood. The automobile has made it.
for the first time, accessible.
Until recently thirty miles a day was
about as great q distance as the desert
traveller could cover; and he was obliged
10 carry with him Q supply of water for
himself and his beast But the automobile
can easily "do" 200 miles, and the problem

Our deserts are the great open-air
breathing places OF the future. They will
attract multitudes of people from our
crowded centres, not only for amusement
but for health. The air Of the desert is
Eerm.free. Folks win 90 to the deserts to
get well.
The statement made by the United
states Geological Survey, that one-ifth of
the total area Of the United States is
desert may be regarded as rather alarm,
ing, but, in fact, 1t does not tell all the
danger that menaces US.
For the truth Is that the deserts are
steadily and rather rapidly spreading over
the earth. The planet on which we dwell
Is drying up, and the areas capable of
agricultural production are becoming less
with every century.
In effect, we have already lost one-ffth
Of our territory. We shall lose more and
more and more, even though we reclaim
parts Of II here and there.
There is no disputing the fact that the
earth ls drying up. Great regions Tin
Africa, for instance) that were productive
within historic times are now deserts.
The flow of rivers everywhere is dimin-
ishing.
The trouble seems to be that the surface
waters are sinking into the earth. They
are being steadily absorbed by the rocks
Of the globe. The process is going on so
rapidly that even In a century or two the
progress Of It has been markedly notice
able.
Our ultimate fate does not seem to be
so very far distant. The planet on which
We dwell is to become like the moon. It's
surface waters absorbed within-its very
oceans dried up-it will become a dead
orb, travelling through countless ages,
tenantless, about the sun.

NEED C HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
,tNarr1ng Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Eve,
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their docks and
herds in order to meet Europe's tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins.
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One Of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
s17.76 per 100 pounds October, SIT 7.28 !;
November and December, $18.O8; jan
larry, $14.40. The effect of these prices
was to drive, beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
we'll as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,8O7, 900 head Of
cattle in 1913, she now has only 12,-
341, 900, a decrease of 1865 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack Of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
Of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
| the war will have ceased.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much lnisunder-
standing about the bread program in
England 1t is true that the English
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it Is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $2OO.OOO,OOO year toward the
cost of it.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at 18 cents, the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at s
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with larger ex'
traction, the four pound loaf sells fol
16 cents.

London, Feb. 6.-From the meager

gree-the general strike that pre-,
vailed throughout the empire last
week has virtually ended. Apparently
the hard hand of the military author.
tiles had much to do with the break
ing up of the movement on the part
of the workers, whose full energies
are required by the government at
the present moment to aid in the
prosecution of the war, for even their
leaders are reported to have advised
the men to return to their work.
The proclamation of martial law in
Berlin and throughout Brandenburg
by the military commander evidently
mad its full effect, for with the threat
of summary court martial and execu.
ton staring them in the face, the
strikers carried out no disorders in
Berlin Saturday, like those earlier in
the week.

Industrial quietude now seems to
prevade the entire country except al

sympathetic feelings on the part ol
the numerous students in this edl

That under the surface the politiia

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT

In the meatless menu there is fer
tile field for developing new and nour-
fishing dishes, according to E. H. Niles,
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for Ave or six
years, thus making 1t worth while to
develop menus Of grain, vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as fla.
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
q broad field for investigation.
