borne disease from our principal front.
At the outset Of the war the British
Royal Army Medical Corps declared in
Its mind all water supplies to be sus.
pect. They were held guilty of infec.
ton until they were proved to be In
nocent. A STOOL proof system Of max.
ing unwholesomc water safe by chlor-
ination was designed. Then all that
remained to be done was to provide
the machinery and chemicals and to
safeguard against carelessness. The
first wa a matter Of supplies, the
second Of discipline. Both were equal
to the demand made upon them, and
on every front now the general rule
Is that the men are drinking safe va

Chloride Of lime was at FIRST the
standby for water publication. 1t is
efficacious, but water chlorinated with
1t Is not very nice. Now chlorine gas
has taken its place ut big water sup
ply points. 1t Is just as eficacious and
It does not taste the water to the same
extent. A simple test, in which a non.
commissioned officer Of every unit is
trained, tells how much chlorinatlon
water will need to make 1t safe. II
very heavy c%hlorination is needed. the
water after treatment can be dechlori.
mated and is left pure. The units wa.
ter cart with Its trained sanitary or.
derby has all the means of making wa.
ter wholesome. But the system is fol-
lowed where possible Of purifying a
main supply and issuing from that. In
case Of small isolated bodies Of men,
means Of water publication are provid.
ed In the shape Of tablets Of acid sui
phate Of soda. AL the old troublesome
water purifying schemes. such as can
dle-alters, which used to be constantly
breaking down, have been strapped.

THRIFT STAMPS WORN AS
BEAUTY SPOTS By GIRLS

Seattle, Wash.-Thrift stamps
as beauty spots IRE popular with
Seattle girls. Unlike other
beauty spots thrift stamps are
not taxed and draw interest all
the time.
Miss Eva Henderson Is the
first Seattle girl to start the fad
here. She generally wears her
thrift stamp pasted at On angle
on her forehead. Beauty spots
come under the general head Of
cosmetics" and Uncle Sam
collects q tax of so per cent on
cosmetics. But the thrift stamp
even as q beauty spot cannot be
taxed.

Of them are telephone girls, who have
earned the admiration Of all London
by their fearlessness In sticking to
their posts in the face Of imminent
danger from exploding bombs hurled
from German Zeppelins and airplanes.
Some Of those who are now wearing
medals are Lillian Ada Bostock, Flor

Florence Marie Cass, Ethel e: Hickey
and Bertha Florence Ester. These girls
have been pictured in the illustrated
papers Of London and have received

work no matter how many bombs are
falling about them.

Mr.. Requa denied reports that the
Government might take over the oil
fields and operate them. There Is lit
