chlorine in the qualification of water 1 have paid attention only to the gen. eral principles involved.
 Up until the year 1908 no progress had been made in the qualification ot water supplies by means of chemi- calls. Popular prejudice had stood in the way and effectually prevented progress in this direction. But in this year bleaching powder was added experimentally to the Boonton reser- voir which supplied Jersey City and it was found that remarkable reduc- tion in the number of bacteria usually found there was effected. Only small amount of the bleach had been used but the results were so noteworthy that the practice spread until today the addition of bleaching powder or some other similar disinfectant is wellnigh universal.
 Bleaching powder is as it's name in- dicates a powder which is used in the bleaching of cotton and linen cloth which in it's original state is not pure white. It is manufactured by pass ing the gaseous element chlorine into a room which has slacked lime spread out in it on perforated shelves. It is soluble in water to the ex- tent of one part in 20 of water.
 The powder has the formula Gael

CITY WATER TREATMENT
Ky Introduction of Chlorine is Dis cussed in Interesting Article by
 Prof. NJ. ]. McHenry.

Responding to request made by the Log Cabin Democrat. Prof. M. J. McHenry of Hendrix College, city chemist, has prepared an interesting article which is published below on xhe use of chlorine in the qualification of water The municipal water plant about two months ago placed an order for equipment for treating the city water with chlorine, and some of the apparatus has been received, but oth- CT parts of it have been delayed in shipment. It is planned to install the ehlorination device as soon as possible. Prof. McHenry's article follows:

f(OCD. Ca stands for the element cal cium, Cl for the element chlorine, and 70 for the element oxygen. It is only the oxygen that has anything to do with the qualification of the water When the bleach is dissolved in the water it interacts with the carbonlc acid (dissolved carbon dioXide) al- ways found there, forming calcium carbonate and hypochlorous acid
 (HOCD. This hypochlorous acid is very unstable and breaks down into hydrochloric acid (HCD and oxygen. This free oxygen is more active than ordinary atmospheric oxygen and de stroys the germs. The hydrochlorlc acid interacts with the calcium car bonate formed, giving calcium chloride as the final by-product of the action. Calcium chloride is entirely harmless and imparts no taste to the water; it merely adds a little hardness to the water.
 The action of the bleach is selective, and fortunately so. It destroys the pathogenic bacteria, such as bacillum typhous and the cholera spirillum, much more readily than it does the harmless types. But in any event it will bring the bacterial count down to negligible quantity.
 Sometimes it happens that a dis agreeable taste is imparted to the water if there is much organic matter present and an excess of the bleach is added. This, however, is not a common occurrence. Experiment will show in each case what must be done, and little if any trouble need be expected from this source.
 The addition of bleaching powder to water is commonly called ''chlorina- tion." The same results may be ob- tained by adding the element chlorine in liquid form to the water. Upon being added to the water it inter- acts with it to form hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid. As before, the acid breaks down into hydrochloric acid and oxygen, which does the work of sterilization. The hydrochloric acid interacts with car bonates and bicarbonates normally found in most waters, forming calcium chloride. Thus the by-product is the same as in the case of the bleaching powder The cost of applying liquid chlorine as compared to bleaching powder is roughly two to one. The cost in either case is insignificant to the immunity given from various communicable diseases.

Rail Bonds Yielding 6 Per Cent.

QueSton-Will you kindly suggest SOW
era long term railroad bonds of high
grade to net about per cent? What
would you suggest as best investments for
woman for $4,000, to net about per
cent? Are the Pittsburgh &, Lake Eric "a
per cent equipment trust certificates high
grade ?--Miss H. S.
Answer--The best grades of long
term railroad bonds do not yield 6
per cent at present. But there are
some good issues, we'll secured, which
return that rate. Among them are
western Pacific first per cent, 1916;
Central Of Georgia consolidated 5 per
cent, 1915; Kansas City Southern first
: per cent, 1850; New Orleans Terminal
l1rst q per cent. 1858; Manhattan Rail
way first per cent. 1890. If 1886 is
not too near at hand, we suggest the
Denver Rio Grande first per cent
and Az per cent. These bonds are
very we'll secured and the fact that the
road is to be sold to satisfy a iudc-
ment does not in our opinion impair
the security of the issue. The yields
are I45 per cent and 7.60 per cent
respectively. The railroad equipment
issues are one Of the best forms of
lnvestments procurabe. in our opinion.
They do not, however, run long, al
though the Grand Trunk of Canada

almost per cent and are guaranteed

Unscttling influences were again ap-

and selling pressure at the opening
caused losses in many issues, ranging
from fraction or point in the lower

lifted after offerings had been absorbed
on the lower level and shorts covered,
this resulting in slight rally.
Liquidation of longs to gain funds in

given as the main reason for the pres

Standard Oil and Steel Preferred
Oucstion-WiI you kindly advise an old
subscriber which you prefer aH perma
nont Investment. United states steel pre-

scy preferred Pr. NJ.
Answer-Wc find very little to choose
between Standard Oil of New Jersey
preferred and United States Steel pre-
ferred. Both have good dividend rec
ords, Standard Oil perhaps the better.
On the other hand, United States Steel
preferred may not be called, whereas
Standard iOil preferred may be called
at 115 at any time three years after

to favor United States Steel preferred

has been a very popular trysting
place, and recently it has become so
much so that it amounts to a public

daily take it for granted that the
parents of these young girls are ig-
norant of this.
Many times business men cannot
get to desk to look over or assert
their mail because the room is all
taken by these counting characters.
l see many girls whose mothers
would not approve of this if they
only knew it. You should remember
that this office is public place
where all classes of humanity are
allowed to come, and not suitable
place for your girls to hang around.
1t is the duty of the clerks to treat
every one who calls for mail with
proper courtesy, and know this has
been done during my incumbency,
but many whose mail is delivered. or
who never receive any mail will
hang around In the lobby for hours.
This building is equipped with all
the modern conveniences. such as
