CITY WATER IS PURE,
SAYS CITY CHEMIST

Recent rains have not affected the
purity OF Memphis city water supply.
r. A. Mantel, city chemist and bac-
teriologist, stated Monday that the wa
ter 10 pure as the driven snow.
Persons who have been worried be-
cause OF the rusty or red color OF the
water at times need feel no uneasi-
ness regarding Impurities, according to
Mr.. Mantel. The red" is either ferrous
oxide or ferric hydroxide, better known,
perhaps, as iron. Present always in
Memphis water. the iron becomes Wis
ible TO the eye when the carbon diox-
ide, which has held 1t invisible, Is
freed. This process takes place when
the water is exposed to the air. The
exposure means the precipitation of
the iron and aus that rusty, look.
Anyone who dislikes to drink rusty
water can eliminate the unpleasant
ness by drawing water the night be-
fore they desire to use It. In the morn
ing the iron will have settled to the
bottom of the vessel and the top can
be poured off, free from the red.

In our opinion, and we are sure it
is the opinion of all law abiding citi-
zens, an officer that will not arrest
persons he knows to be violating the
law, is worse than no officer at all.
Officers have no right to play politics
or look over the lawlessness of their
friends. If two men violate the law
alike is it right to bother one and not
the other because he is the officers
friend? And again, if it is right to
let both go free because one is the
officers friend, what is the use of any
law at all?-Soperton News.
