"Old Oaken Bucket'' Put on Blacklist

Montgomery, August 26.-Special) The "old oaken bucket" is not sani- tary and no longer stands in tho good graces of health authorities. The Alabama state board of health said so today in a bulletin on private wells and how to secure a safe sup ply of water, which is ready for dis tributlon.
 The health department told of the various types of wells and pumps and made suggestions regarding the best methods of obtaining supply of pure water. Under the head of "re- quirements for a safe we'll" the board of health said:
 ''1. It should be located preferably 50 to 100 feet from any toilet. 2. it should be on higher grounc than tho toilet. 3. It should be banked so that no surface water can drain into 1t. f. No water should be allowed to fall or drip back into it."
 Suggestions were made as fol- lows
 T. Only wells with pumps which do not require primins are safe; tts old oaken bucket is not sanitary. 2. The well must be of water tighc construction above the ground and for five or ten feet below the ground surface. 8. The ground must slope away from the well. i. The we'll covering must be water tight"
