Surface Water May Be Dangerous.

from au"t the e's State Water bacterioiogis1
cautions all persons using water
from wells to boil or disinfect it be-
fore drinking Recent rains, Miss
Zela Zentmire, water expert, de.
clares, have brought the level OF
the ground water abnormally, high
and even wells that are usually safe
are now in great danger of being
polluted"
Miss Zentmire states that the ma
jOrity of samples sent to the uni
verslty OF Iowa within the last two
weeks for examination are from
wells which are markedly effected by
heavy rains and often from wells
feet of the surface. The rains of
the last month have caused the water
to pass through the soil, too rapidly
or for too short a distance to insure
proper publication. II ground water
is not purified by passage through
the soil, it must be cleansed by artl-
fetal methods.
Miss Zentmire declares can not. be
expected to have taken place when
the depth is noticeably increased at
ter a heavy rain, when the water is
temporarily turbid after rains, or
when the level is SO high that pass
age through the ground may De Tor
a distance of less than ten feet.
To remove all danger the water
bacteriologist suggests that the wat
er be disinfected by chlorine or be
boiled five minutes. Even if samples
of water from such wells have been
sent to the state laboratories and
declared, after being tested, safe the
we'll might be made still polluted
temporarily and the water should
be artificially purified. One month
after the water has been tested and
declared safe would be a sufficient
time for the water to become badly
polluted under conditions of rainfall
and such as in the last few weeks.
Even wells in which the water is
not turbid after a rain are not nee
essarily safe. Physical evidences of
pollution are not always present. To
Judge the safety of any water sup
ply the water chemist must examine
the data sheet accompanying the
sample and assure herself that con-
ditiOns around the we'll are good,
she must analyze the water bacteriol-
ogically, and then must follow with
q chemical analysis which gives EVIL
dence of the condition of the water
in both the considered safe unless
every one of present and past.

Washington, Aug. 21,--Administra-

to obtain the ratification of the treaty
not only without amendments, but
without reservations, it was apparent,
today.
Senator Hitchcock disavowed Sen

themselves with separate interpreta-

He said that would be merely indi-
vidual action and declared that
President Wilson is as much against
reservations now as he ever had
been.
The administration senator's are
now trying to work out parliamentary
tactics that will force the reserya-
tions to a show down. If possible. It
is the desire Of the administration
senator's to force a vote squarely on
the issue of ratification or rejection
Of the peace pact. 1t is believed that
this action will obviate any reserva-
