More than 7596 of the people of
Georgia drink water of questionable
purity and much Of it is not fit for
human consumption, Dysentery,
diarhea and typhoid fever are in
many cases traceable directly to the
water supply, Authorities say that
so per cent of the human body is
water and the amount must be kept
up to this percentage if an Individual
is to have good health. The water
that is used for drinking is therefore
of prime Importance in preservinga
persons health and in the prevention
of disease. Less than rs percent OF
the people of this state drink water
that is tested for impurities and the
other IS percent are subjected to
the dangers of polluted drinking
water. All public water Surprises
should be tested at frequent intervals
for pollution and the city or the
water company Is responsible if pol.
luton occurs.

 writes to Wm. J. Boudreau and ter Try Murphy concerning his experien- ces. Dick left Anchorage last spring
 for Seattle en route to Siberia and
 his last letter written from Okhotsk Siberia, says:
 i Okhotsk, Siberia, Sep. 25, 1922.
 Dear Bill and Jerry:
 | We made our first landing on Si- berian soil yesterday morning at 6 | o'clock at a place called Alan, 250
 miles south of Okhotsk, eight days from Hakodate, Japan. Two days of that we spent in the midst of a ty- Lhcon; at least We had twenty-four hours of the worst and heaviest sea l ever witnessed before; a 100-mile
 gale. Mount Mckinley looks small compared to those rifles. They head
 ed the boat into the wind, held her
 there for twenty four hours under full steam, and she gained one mile.
 The next twelve hours she made twenty miles and after that il be- came calmer. We got into it just after we passed Saghalien island.
 Alan is very beautiful little cove; about twenty houses, five white people, fifteen or twenty white Russians. thirty or forty Ya- kutsh and Tangoos natives, and 250 troops, who live in tents. The Bolsheviks were within thirty miles of the place six weeks ago. The people were ready to flee to the mountains when a gunboat with 300 troops came in and the Bolshies went back. The people in that burg treated us royaly The Russian ! soldiers were very sociable. Several l of them came on board shook hands l and hunted whisky. The Japs did a big business in some kind of saki It is worth about 50 cents in Jap- an. They sold it to them at s2.50> 3 bottle. ..@.. !
 Met the governor, a very nice old , man. Had a long talk with him through an interpreter. He and sev-I eral others, including three Russians who spoke English, wanted us in the worst way to stop of at Alan and go down the bay fifty miles where they said there were good prospects. We would have done so.. but Al ! Winchel, one of our party left Hak- odate four days ahead of us for okhotsk (boat had only room for two passengers so Al and a fel- low named Burlington went on it. We could not get our freight on

when in power giving us an en-
barassing and compromising
four-power alliance that actually
binds the United States to send
our boys over seas to protect

peace by the sword.
q. For condenning Wilson for

then when in power putting on a
