CITY PHYSICIAN
DECLARES CITY,
WATER is "OKAY"

Answering numerous inquiries
as to the condition Of the city
water at present, City Physician
A. 7. Easterwood this morning
made an official announcement in
which he stated that the water
supply OF Ardmore does not show
infection. He declared that health
conditions here this summer are
far better than last summer. His
announcement in full follows
"As city health officer, 1 have
frequent inquiries as to the con-
dition Of the city's water supply.
AS the Ardmore water supply is
derived from Hickory creek, which
gets its water from a large noun
tain water shed and from springs,
and also part OF the supply from
the City Lake, which is boriered
by vegetation, and the water OF
our lake must be elassed as sur
face water, and naturally is ex.
pected to contain more or less
organic vegetable matter. / would
advise boiling the water used for
drinking purposes, or be treated
by hypochlorite OF lime as fol-
lows; Use one-half teaspoonful
OF this lime to one pint OF water
then use one teaspoonful Of this
mixture TO 10 gallons OF water,
or use thirty drops TO gallon
OF water. From a canvas OF the
physicians OF the city, I learn
OF but two cases OF typhoid fever,
one OF which came In already
infected. from the country. and
tho other case was an instance
due 10 local unsanitary condl.
tons. So. there is nothing to In.
dicate any infections coming
from the water. As a matter OF
fact,s We have had less sickness
this summer than usual. but rs
all Ardmore's water supply Is
derived from surface water. l
would advise that the pr~cau.
tions mentioned above. be taken
by each individual family.

KNOWLEDGE OF AMERICAN
INSTITUTIONS; Is BE-
FORE CONGRESS

Washington, Aug. 2.-Registration
Of aliens, provided for in legislation
urged by Secretary Davis, is for the
purpose Of protecting and guiding the
aliens themselves and is not designed
as a police system, said a statement
issued today by the department Of
labor. Expenditure of the money
taken in as fees for registration for
instructors for such foreigners as
need schooling is planned.
The alien" the statement said,
docs not want anything for nothing
and would be willing to pay the $40
fee in case Of adults and SO for wage
earners who are minors.
Under the proposed law, the bureau
Of naturalization would become the
bureau of citizenship and take on a
vastly broadened scope Of activity. y
1t would see that aliens were prop
erly distributed over the country,
avoiding congestion in the cities.
Among its other duties, the new
bureau Of citizenship would spread
knowledge Of our American institu-
tions," the statement said 1T would
begin a national campaign for abet-
ting the physical and moral we'll
being of our foreign.born population.
To this end, the new bureau would
undertake to protect the foreigner
from fraud and imposition. 1t viii
lrovide centers of information, where
persons Of patriotism and character
would offer guidance and advice.
Where possible, these advisers would
be themselves Of foreign extraction IN
order to offer real sympathy and
understanding.
In addition to the regular school
classes, meetings would be arranged
to bring newly arrived aliens into the
care Of local school representatives
and so quicken their acquaintance
with American customs, life institu'
tsons and forms OF government The
rublic school systems themselves
would be urged TO cooperate and have
special classes for adults.
The act before congress gives the
new bureau authority to appoint of.
ficers who shall have semi-judicial
power in preliminary naturalization
hearings. This will cut out much RED
tape and save time on the part OF
Judges. Under the new plan the
alien will not have to lose time from
work 10 await his turn in court, but
may apply at any time to federal
decentralization officers for, the pur'
pose.
