TO PURIFY WATER.
Two Safe Ways by Which Typhoid
Germs May Be DESTROYED.


One cannot judge the purity of water
by it's looks. Things visible to the
naked eye are usually harmless. The
invisible germs of disease are by far
the more injurious to human beings.
Most people feel that drinking water
is safe to use if it is cool, clear, spar
king and free from color Or odor Such
is not the case. Even the sparkle may
be due to decomposition products. The
babbling brook usually contains more
dangerous bacteria than standing wa
ter. Streams do not purify themselves
by flowing over their rocky beds. The
mistaken notion that they do is re-
spOnsible for a great deal of vacation
typhoid fever.
The safest method of destroying dis
ease germs in water is by actual boil
ing Boiling the water for five minutes
will kill the germs of typhoid and al
lied diseases. Chlorine may also be
used to disinfect the water.
A stock solution is made by taking a
level teaspOonful of full strength clio
ride of lime and rubbing it up to thin
paste free from humps in teacup with
little water This should then be
made up to a cupful and diluted with
three more cupfuls Of water and then
poured into a bottle and tightly corked.
Add teaspoonful of this stock solu-
ton to each two gallon pail of drinking
water, thoroughly mixing it and allow
ing it to stand for ten minutes. This
will give about One-half part of free
chlorine to a million parts of water,
which will destroy all typhoid or dyson
terry producing germs.-EXchange

Where Miners Lose Their Nerve.

Men accustomed to working in
mines cannot stand great heights. 1t
is almost an inyariable rule that a
miner will get dizzy and uneasy if you
take him to high place, such as a
monument or the top of house, and
will try to get back to earth as soon
as possible And yet he can stand I'M
derground on the edge of a 500 foot
shaft, look down into the black abyss
and never feel a tremor. He can climb
up the face of shaft, knowing that
there is a straight drop of a thousand
feet under him, and feel perfectly at
home.-Exchange

HIGH COST OF LIVING.
It's An Old, Old Story and Was Told
1000 Years AGO.


4 wife's letter 1000 years old was
unearthed recently in the ruins of the
Serapoum, the temple of Memphis, the
great city of ancient Egypt. The let
ter was written by Isias to her hus-
band Hephaestion, who had deserted
her. There were two letters, in fact.
the first bearing a date equivalent to
July "A, 1856 b. C. IN them the wife
reprOaches her husband for neglect of
his family, and, what is particularly
interesting at the present time, she
complains of the high cost of living.
Here are some extracts from the first
letter: "Isias to HephaestiOn, her hus-
band. Greetings-If you are well and
other things are turning out with you
according to your wishes it would he

thinking that your return would bring

One of the things which he wishes to
have impressed on the public at once
is in regard TO substitutes for flour.
Bran and Shorts
1t was stated last week that bran
shorts and middlings are substitutes
and the statement was published from
list furnished by mill.
1t was correct in that bakers are
permitted TO buy and millers to sell,
bran, shorts and middlings for baking
purposes but the consumer, the man
who is not in the baking business, can
not use these as substitutes.
Mr.. Williams has issued an appeal
following his visit to Madison in which
he declares that all must work to save
food. Food will win the war; he says.
I'VE do not need to starve our own peo-
pie but we must save food for the peo-

TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For good many years The American
TobaccoC Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the Improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
Of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
The result has been the greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product in
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
