with a host Of friends.
Just before last COMMENCEMENT

INFLUENZA

There are great many in Berea
who will regret to hear of the death
Of Mrs. II. A. Lichtwardt. DR.. and
Mrs. Lichtwardt came 10 Berea
something over a year ago, and re-
NAMED here until last June, when
DR.. Lichtwardt joined the colors and
Mrs. Lichtwardt went with him. to
Gettysburg, Pa, where he has been
stationed until recently, when he
was transferred to Tobyhanna. His
wife went with him, but wrote to
friends here that they expected he
would be sent across very soon
and then,sh shosld return to Berea.
At TobyhannG they were having
rather a bed epidemic Of Spanish
influenza, and Mrs. Lichlwardt con-
tracted the disease, and in spite of
the very best medical and nursing
care pneumonia set in. resulting in
her death, Saturday, October 3. We
wish to- express to DR.. Lichtwardt
our deepest sympathy.

FLOWING WATER IN BEREA

Bcrca people lived many happy
years before we had any water
works. Each house had its well for
hard water and its cistern for soft
water. and sometimes in the sum
mer, we had TO borrow of one
another
The difficulties were greater in
our large dormitories, where hun
dreds Of young men and women had
to secure water for bathing, and
where the outcloscts were managed
by means Of dirt or dust.
II was a great thing when DR..
pearsons gave $4,000 for the water
works. These consist of ten re-
servoirs, located 200 feet higher
than Berea, from which the water
comes by natural pressure and with
very considerable force. To Dir.
Pearsons original gift, more has
been added, so that our Water
Works are now valued at above
100000 and sewers $4,000 more.
For nine months in the year the
supply is greater than Berea Col
lege and its students use, and we
ere able to share water with our
neighbors.
The Institution. however. has
never undertaken to furnish water
works for the village. A few hy-
drants have been placed at stra-
tegic points and one and another
neighbor has been connected with
the water works. but always with
the understanding that no full sup
ply is guaranteed. and that the per-
son subscribing for college water
is also to keep up a we'll and cistern
so as TO have supply Of water on
hand for the dry time which al
ways comes i'm the fall.
The dry time comes earlier and
more decidedly this year than
usual and it reveals the fact that
some people who have been receiv-
ing College water have neglected to
keep up their wells and cisterns.
Such people will suffer with all the
rest of us now.
II must be understood that the
only way in which Berea can have
water to drink and keep its face
clean the year round is by having
stores of water in cisterns near
every roof. We shall suffer this
year. Let us be ready next year
with our own cisterns and wells
so we shall never suffer again.
