of penetrating substances impervious

WATER SUPPLY ON FARMS
Can Be Made Safe il the Proper
Precautions Are Taken.

Two out of every five wells on an
average, says f. A. Stewart, of the
agricultural engineering division at
University Farm, are dangerous to
use. In one case the number of i'm
pure wells was even a. per cent. "If
your well is a dug WE'LL" Mr.. Stewart
says. there is only about one chance
out of feur that the water is fit to
use
"The water may be cool and clear,
but there may be hidden in it thou
sands of dangerous bacteria to each
spoonful. Typhoid fever and many
other diseases are easily contracted
from contaminated water.
Your water supply can be made
safe from pollution. Why not do 1t
this summer? There are many
homes where a five-dollar bill and a
little work will protect the water
from pollution.

still, cement curbing. The walls

SOFT-WATER SUPPLY

For Farm Homes Available BY Con-
structing Concrete Cisterns.
A cistern is one of the most i'm
portant improvements of the farm
home. Soft water makes the work
more satisfactory.
'Tf the house is already built"
says II. b. White, of the agricultural
engineering division at Minnesota
University Farm, "a round cistern is
usually located where the down
spout and suction pipes will easily
reach it, The round cistern should
be eight feet in diameter and about
ten feet deep below the tapered por-
ton.
"In building a new farmhouse it is
often desirable to locate the cistern
in the basement. If it can be built
in a corner, then construction of
forms for a concrete cistern is
simple.

against the inside of the foundation

pansion and contractor. The shape

Built at the time the basement is
constructed, the material required
will be "A sacks of cement, three

penditure of money when the con-
venience and satisfaction of having
an abundance of soft water near at
hand is considered"

TWo-SW0RD MEN OF JAPAN
With Their Disbanding, Comparatively
Few Years Ago, the Secret Of
Blademaking Disappeared.

As late as 1868 there were some
100000 crossword men In Japan. high
ly trained fighters attached to the
mobiles Of the land in bands ranging
from two or three, to an, entire army.
When the revolution came the work
of the two-sword men was done. the

the strength of the blade carriers was
needed at plOw and bench.

Using Waste 0as.

Much of our natural gas In this

are too far from Industrial centers or
their output too small. This Is par

has been studying the possibilities Of
utilizing this waste gas for the pro-
duction of chloroform and other chem

RAPIDLY CUTTING DEATH RATE
With the Spread Of knowledge, Man,
Diseases Are Practically 6econ-
lnp a Negligible Quantity.

Conducted by the Health Guide. United

There are q few diseases of which
we have learned, not only the cause
but also the ways and means by which
the disease germs are conveyed from
one person, to another, or through thu
medium. of insects TO humans. Where
these conditions have been preventable
and such action has been taken as wal
necessary to prevent them. the afore
said diseases have. become negligible
quantity.
The discovery of vaccine as a pre-
ventive of smallpox, and the intelligent
application OF this knowledge. has
robbed that disease Of Its terrors.
The knowledge that certain
species of mosquito. the stagomyia. Is
10 blame for the transmission of yellow
fever, and the practical application OF
this knowledge. has. for the most part
stamped out this disease.
The campaign against tuberculosiA
which has been more or less rigidly
carried out, has gently reduced the
mortality from this disease. The con-
troll Of our water supplies by filtration
and COLONIZATION. and of our milk sup
plies by rigid regulations requiring
clean milk. and the making Of that
milk bacteriologicaily clean by pas
teurization. has reduced our typhoid
