dom Is satisfactory, and the presence
Of more or less polluting matter Is GER
tain, Often the carcasses of farm ami
mails are found therein. In thousands
of cases the domestic supply Is taken
directly from the irrigation bitches. In
other instances a %cistern, often without
a filter, is filled at such times AS the

reservoirs are necessary to collect and
store rainfall for the use Of stock, and
occasionally they are used as sources Of

Under favorable conditions, where
the basin is large and deep 90 feet or
morel, the bottom free of mud, muck,

ings clean, and the circulation good, the
quality Of surface water may improve
by long storage. However, these con-
ditions are seldom realized on the
farm, and the amount Of improvement
or publication is never certain.
The only safe course Is to avoid
drinking water from any surface source
unless such water has been purified
by filtration or steriliZed by boiling or
by chemicals. Prudence dictates, also,
that ice gathered from shallow. unclean
sources should not be brought in con-
tact with food and drinking water. 1t

The lawn at the side Of the Eldridges'

Of it. Several blocks one could hear

that had come to her In the quick and
questioning glances Of the other girls.
She had seen over Freddie's shoulder
as they turned and turned again, the
shy looks Of appraisal, his straight,
young figure, the graceful ease with
which he held her. She even had caught
a sour look or two from certain young
men who always thought of themselves
as leaders in the towns youngest
set" as quite in touch with all the
newest steps and poses.
Il won't want to leave here tomor-

nave parties like this often? Miss
Eldridge is a good hostess, isn't she?
And the place looks lovely. See down

it all pink and ~quivery under the
leaves? We don't have lawns and

Il don't suppose o do" agreed
the young lady. but then we girls
don't always have perfect partners to
dance with here in Mapleville."
The implication was flattering and
very plain. Freddie smiled happily,
And he noticed how white and even
were the little teeth between the sweet
lips that smiled back at him. He bent
nearer to her. And for quite ten min
utes his fascinated gaze did not leave
her face. He did not know that others
looked at them e~nviously. She did.
Nor did the knowledge take anything

broke the spell. Somebody moved to

He met her look upon him full. as
1t had been these many minutes. A
deepening anger that the other girl
should hold him so had dyed her cheeks
a hotter red. Her eyes were black
with the excitement of the music and
the chase; they seemed big, though
big they were not. Passion and youth
and health famed from her in a sort
of glory. Even to an older and a
wiser man she might have been just
o~verpowering, To Freddie:
Who's that girl?" he asked. His
voice came low and as though his
throat were suddenly tight or dry.
The little creature beside him moved
impatiently.

Successful parcel post marketing
Of butter requires that extreme care
be taken to insure the delivery of
a satisfactory product to the Gus
toners. The. following are a few of
the important considerations in
marketing butter successfully by
parcel post.
/, A uniformly high quality prod
uct should be produced.
,. 1t should be properly packed in
neat and attractive packages.
3, The shipping container used
should amply protect the butter
from deterioration and damage,
4, The packages should bear the
address of the sender and be prop
erly addressed to the customer.
