PURE WATER PROBLEM

There were some interesting discus
sions last week before the health de-
partnent of the Woman's Club, which
enforced the importance Of the imme-
date installation Of some form Of Al
tration Of the water supply Of the city.
It is true the city government is work
ing toward providing Il chlcrinlzing
plant, and while that process may
give US water free from disease
germs. it will still be OF the same old
unclarifed consistency. The we'll Ill
tration system which has been en-
dorsed by the most competent authori-
ties will not only give Us al uncon-
taminated article. but also clear wa
ter. The obvious advantages of the well
system and its relative cheapnesS have
been pointed out by The Inte!ligencer
time and again. 1t would be by far the
better and more economical system,
meeting all the domestic and indus
trial requirements.
The urge for pure water supply is
given some emphasis by the statement
Of the city health director. DR.. Viii
liams, who points out that there were
200 cases of typhoid fever in Wheel
Ing during the past year, resulting in
seventeen deaths-lircs lost, that, as
he says, should have been saved. Truly
the economic question involved is no
less important than that Of mortality
the waste occasioned by the sick
ness, which caused a cumulative ex-
pense Of nearly S15O.0Q0. a sum that
would have borne nearly three-fourths
OF the cost OF installing the we'll sys-
tenn Of pure water supply.
It Is encouraging to see the ener-
setic women of the city taking hold
OF this matter They can AZ least ac-
complIsh a great deal in the way Of
arousing public sentiment on this vital
problem. one that Intimately concerns
the welfare. health and happiness Of
the entire community.

FOR A GREAT CAUSE

Tomorrow evening one Of the most
appealing campaigns which has yet
addressed itself to the liberal purse OF
Wheeling will be inaugurated. II Is
the campaign for 4 fund for the Asso-
c1ated Charities and the View Point
Tuberculosis Sanitarium. which was
postponed from an earlier date set for
It. This campaign has not only the
sanction, but the hearty commentator
Of tho committee on public benevQ-
lences, which was established to pre-
vent any imposition on the people. Its
authorization Of the campaign is suf-
flctent guarantee Of the actual needs
OF these two great public oenefactors,
the one administering to the suffering
poor and the other engaged in saving
lives that otherwise would be lost
through neglect.
The View Point Sanitarium IS one
Of the most worthy objects the public
has been asked TO contribute to. It's
work in the past in saving to useful
citizenship many who were afflicted
with the dread disease speaks most
eloqnently for its economic value 10
the community. = Ii needs more room
for the treatment of patients and more
money for tho uokeen OF the SAM
tarium. 1t is true tina; il has been
given some aid by the county. but
more funds are needed. not on.% -
keep 1t. open. but for additional quar-
tiers for the accommodation Of the Il
f1icted. And il would be we'll 10 re-
member that it is just as patriotic to
(sustain our home charities Il, it is 10
contribute to the nations ne IDS of the
hour.

The Liherty bond Is n govern
ment bond---as good bond as the
government has ever issued. Just
as safe, just as reliable.
Don't forget this.
Nor that In all its history the
government has never defaulted ono
of It's Doatls. There Is no better
security Gil Garth. Il Is as good as
a greenback, 30 far as its safety Is
concerned.
It pays you four percent interest
annually just as much Is you can
get for your greeEbacE ut any cav
ings bank. And It's face value Will
mover shrink.
There have been times when gov
eminent bonds went below par, inst
az in recent months Liberty Bonds
have sold below par. But there
never was any valid reason way
they should have done SO.
And they never stayed there so
very long at a time.
Since the war of 1879 there has
never been as Issue of United
States bonds that failed to go above
par. Sonic dropped below for o TIME
but they always rose again.
Five percent bonds due In 1906
sold ut 1877 in 1863.
Six percent bonds due In 1881 sold
at l23 in 1879.

And the day Is coming whom these
Liberty bonds will sell above par.
Where the government bonds went
below par, there was always just
one reason. Someone needed money
quickly. In order TO get II bonds
were offered on tho market 1or
whatever price they would bring.
This usually happened In tight mo-
ney periods. With normal cond.
tionr they went back to normal
values.
Loss IS impossible upon govern

these bonds arc all the wealth OF
nation, something more than $780,
900 ooo, 900. Every dollar Of this
wealth can be taxed by the govern
