DRAINAGE AND PURE WATER
Two Essentials for the WellbeIna Of
Every Town, and All Too Often
Neglected.

In the majority of towns there are
now efficient drainage and sewerage
systems. and proper means Of disposal.
There are yet many towns without
an efficient system. Many large
country villages also have no sys.
tenn, and the conditions are most
unsatisfactory. These places do not
bother about It; they seem content to

will not hear Of any scheme. Those
responsible look upon themselves a.
economists; yet their economy is but
false, and their interest "pocket
one" the welfare and wellbelng Of
the people being the last considera.
ton. A pure and efficient water sup.
ply is another essential for all places,
yet We have many small towns and
villages without It. Water is taken
from defective and impure sources,
while wells are close to cesspools and
drainage from cattle yards, and other
fouled surfaces have access to them.
This is often due to the faulty con.
structlon Of the well or cesspool. What
appears to have happened Is this-two
holes were dug. and lined with dry
laid bricks. one being called the well
and the other the cesspool. Can we
wonder at disease being rampant We
also find the water supply taken from
an open pond, full Of mud and growth,
and often drain pipe dlscharging its
contents into It. Many small towns
and villages view WITH dlsfavor and
are up In arms II an efficient system
Of sewers, sewage disposal, or wa
ter supply is suggested. They will tell
you that their arrangements have suf-
feed for the past and no I'll results
have occurred; the inhabitants, they
say, live as long as they like; and yet
facts prove otherwise. In places
where proper systems have been In
stalled the death rate is lowered, in.
fantile mortality reduced, infectious
disease eradicated, or nearly SO, and
the general health bettered.-From

In Its issue Of July s, 1918, the Red
Cross Bulletin, issued at Washington,
has the following account Of the hero
Ism Of Red Cross nurses under fire:
"Private A. 9. Mcleod, the flrst
American soldier TO be wounded In
France, was hurt when the Germans
bombed Red Cross hospital. He owes
his life, be believes, to the Red Cross
nurse who stuck by him In the shat.

nurses were wounded by the same
bomb that hurt Mr.. Mcleod, but the
rest Of the women. It was stated were

story In which It will be noticed the
Red Cross nurse Is given the principal
place:

soldiers so badly wounded that they
could not be moved. A number Of
nurses stayed with the soldiers, and I
remained to help.

cleaned out the hospital. Ny legs were

stuck to me and saw that had prompt
