to help them out. He did it by means
of dances. He founded the Silver Grays

Catholics, Methodsts and others-all
of his own parishioners-Luth
sought good time at dances. When
midnight came there was lull in the
dance. and while the players were get
ting their lunch he was granted permits
sion to talk to the dancers.
This is invariably his first step. He
gives them talk on the athletic side
of the development of man. He shows
that the pagan Egyptians always danced
at their religious ceremonies, and the
reason men want and need the dance
is that they arc satisfying q Godgiven
instinct of rhythm that is as necessary
as food to the physical body.
He proceeds by giving them exercises
to supplement such physical movements
as are not covered by the dance. He
uses all sorts of games, makes all stt

young and old why the modern dances

BOIL WATER FROM WELLS
BacterioIogist Gives Advice to Users
of Contaminated Water.

That the water from the wells on
the East side is contaminated on ac-
count of the recent flood and should
be boiled for a few days, is the advice
given by Miss Annetta Nicoll, city
bacteriologist.
The wells, should be cleaned or
chlorinated. The chlorine process may
be attained. says Miss Nicoll, by dis
solving eight or ten tablespoons of
chloride of lime and pouring it into
the well. The water will taste of the
chemical for a day or two but the eff
fects will die out rapidly. Miss Nicoll
will tast water in case of uncertainty.
Samples of the water will be called for
