Pure Water Demanded
for Drinking
Purposes.

Water is always pure. We all speak
of impure water, but in reality this
term is incorrect. Water carries i'm
purities, but is itself always just water
nothing more and nothing less. All
the water that is exposed TO climatic
and material conditions is. gathering
impurities all the time. And nature
is continually separating the water
from these impurities by the simple
process of distillation. For old moth
or nature is one gigantic distilling
plant. --.
The vapor that rises from all water
exposed to the suns rays is pure
H2O except for the gases it may
carry, and it would still be pure
H2O, when it reaches your drinking
glass but for the foreign substances
picked up en- route.
EARTH is STILL.
1t is because of the natural distilla-
ton going on all the time-the evapor-
alton of the water from all over the
earth and returning to us in the
form of rain-that we have never
ending supply Of water.
Otherwise we would soon render all
the water on the earth unfit for
use.
Everybody wants water that is free
from foreign substances. For con-
venience OF expression we will call it
pure water.
Probably the first demand for pure
water is for drinking purposes.
PURE WATER.
What could be more delightful than
to have ones thirst quenched by a
glass Of absolutely pure water. And
what could be more revolving than to
be conscious of swallowing impurities
with your drinking water-impu'ties
that, il separated from the water,
would not be taken by the lowest type
Of animal.
In many lines of manufacture and
chemical operations, it is absolutely
necessary TO have water that has
been purified by the listillation pro-
cess. Nothing else will do.
Chemicals, dyes, beverages, ex-
tracts. ETC., must be made with dis
titled water If they are TO retain their
original quality. And such common
device as a storage battery absolutely
refuses TO continue operations on any
thing but distilled water.
FEDERATION METHOD.
There are three methods that at.
tempt the publication Of water-filr
tration, sterilization and distillafion.
81 Filtration as 6vcry5ffe knows, is d
straining process which is efficient es
far as it goes. Undoubtedly it ar

but those which are in solution are
not affected by the filter. To cite
a perfectly simple yet practical ex-
ample: If YOU passed lemonade
through a filter there would be no
particles Of lemon floating in the
liquid. If 1t was a very good filt.r
there would not even be he invisible
floating or suspended substances. The
filter would arrest them as the liquid
passed through. But no matter how
good the filter was. you would still
have lemonade. because the acids and
other soluble foreign substances have
the same consistency as the water, and
naturally they 60 wherever the water

Nourishing Meals Can Be

Men long ago learned that no bust
ness could be successfully run with
out the application of systematic bust
ness methods. They feel that women,
who have progressed in so many di'
rections. should be more ready to APP
ply to their own special activities the
methods which men have found good.
These methods have made for sue
cess in running everything masculine
from a carpenter-shop TO railroad.
Why not apply them to running a
home? Men claim that women do not
use their brains in conducting their
homework: that they get into a rut
and stay there, doing things as their
grandmothers did, instead OF tnking
advantage of the various improve
ments and aids which modern science
and invention have placed at their dis
posal.
BEST TOOLS.
The humblest artisan would not use
inferior tools in his shop. And no
wide-awake business man would equip
his office with makeshifts and get
along with them" just because, his
father and grandfather before him had
found them adequate TO their needs.
Yet many "a housewife does these
very things, in her home,. using left

a similar outworn type. :,
Our graridmothers were compelled
to do their own preserving, and spent
long hours of hard work and drudgery
in the doing Of it. Much of the food
they put up spoiled, because they

canneries all over the country have
taken over this labor. and are doing

methods and scientific discoveries.

LOOK ON THE OTHER SIDE

When a man buys a house he looks it over, front yard and
back yard, inside and out, cellar and attic.
When he buys an automobile he examines the chassis and
inspects the top, turns up the seat cushions and opens the motor
hood.
Nc woman would buy a piece of cloth, calico OF silk, without
turning it over and over, examining both sides with care and
caution.
There is a bottom and a top, an inside and outside, a right
side and a wrong side to everything.
We are mighty careful, in buying our rugs, Jul curtains,
our wall paper and our table linens, to look on both sides.
But in selecting our ideas and convictions, our beliefs and
principles, how many of us turn them over to examine the other
side! How many of us are content with the plausible, attractive
side that the salesman shows? How many of us stumble blndly
along unconcious than there is any other side than the side we
first looked upon? How many of us engage in heated controversy
to maintain that the side we see is the right side" when we
have in fact made no honest attempt to examine the other side?
The ability to examine both sides of a piece of mental goods
with tolerance and unprejudiced perception is a unacceptable
requisite of useful life, a successful life, indeed a happy life;
just as the ability to distinguish between the right side and the
wrong side of a piece of cloth, marks the alert, thrifty, tranquil
housewife.
We may depend upon it that there are two sides to every
question. And we cannot be sure that we have the right side
until w have examined the other.

LETTING THE WORLD KNOW

Newspaper advertising is an accurate barometer of the pro-
and enterprise of the community. The. enterprise
of the individual merchant may also be measured by the exten,
sveness and quality of the newspaper advertising. The pros
perity of the community depends upon the prosperity of its
business and the prosperity of any business depends in great
part upon advertising.
Merchants long ago learned the wisdom of inviting the buy.
ing public into their stores. From the merchants experience
have learned the value of inviting strangers to visit
them. Through advertising the merchants and communities
have succeeded in attracting buyers and visitors.
To succeed in business one must have more than just some
thing to sell. He must let the buying public know what he has
for sale. Here again the community has learned something from
the merchant and invites new citizens by apprising them of what
it has to offer.
the secrets of advertising. The city or town seeking to expanc
its business and increase its population does not confine itself
to praising one of its many civic achievements or institutions
1t advertises them all. So the business man knows that, while
his small ad in the newspaper will be read and bring him its
share of new business, the large display advertisement will
bring him more buyers.

SHAKINGG HANDS

Since President Coolidge became President of the United
States in August, 1923, he has received over 100000 persons.
He has shaken hands with over 10000. The United States
Chamber of Commerce, approaching the fact that every hour
taken up in handshaking means just so much more of a burden
to the President, when received by him last week sent word to
the Executive Secretary that they would pay their respects to
the President but not shake hands, not desiring to add to the
physical strain under which he works every day, for it must be
recalled that the President is one of, if not the busiest man In
the United States. 1t is no uncommon thing for him to put in
IL to ID hours a day at his desk, and even while visiting different
sections of the country he carries with him stenographers and
other aids and transacts business on the train or at the hotel
in between time.
While the President has not voiced any desire to curtai
the handshaking which has become our great national habit
there are many of the Presidents friends and well wishers who
would be glad to see him relieved, in part at least, of the strain
to which he is subjected every day.

MAY HAVE CIVIL WAR MUSEUM

A movement has been put on foot to ask the next congress
to establish a Civil War museum in the Pension Office building
at Washington. The pension office is said to be the largest brick
building in the world and it was built as a memorial to the men
in the military and naval service of the United States. 1t is be-
.lieved that if the building is converted into a civil war museum
it will eventually become a repository for the uniforms, weapons
and relics of all the nations wars.
Daniel F. Brakeman was the last surviving veteran of the
Revolutionary war and he died at Freedom, N. Y, April 1869,
at the age of 1909 years and six months. The last survivor of
the War of 1912, Hiram Cronk, of Ava, N. Y, died in 1908, at
the age of LOS. The statisticians at the pension office say that
1T will be at least twenty-five years yet before the last survivor
of the Civil war passes away. Many officials believe that now is
the proper time to set aside a museum for the preservation OF
the traditions and inspiration written in part by the pension
applications on file in the bureau.

CODY TO HAVE GAS

Cody has every assurance at the present time that she is to
have gas in the near future. Natural gas, both for domestic
and commercial use, and in abundance. The city council is
setting on the lid with two companies asking for a franchise, and
petitioning the state board of utilities for certificates of con-
venience and necessity to operate in the Cody field. Prospects
never were brighter than now, with one of these petitioners the
Ohio Oil company, which has spent over two hundred thousand
dollars in the development of the Oregon basin oil field, and
which is in every way equipped to bring the commodity to Cody
with the utmost dispatch.
The piping of gas to Cody will add another resource to our
attractive little city, it will serve a s a greater convenience to
the housewife, and may possibly be a keen competitor of coal as
a heating utility during the winter months. Gas has become
looked upon as a necessity to the modern home, and Cody is
one of but two towns in the entire Basin without it. That the
Ohio company is willing to bring it to Cody will mean much to
the further development of the town.

CONSIDER THE HOME MAN

He is a banker, a merchant, or a contractor, or in some
other line of business.
He lives in Cody.
He knows you and you know him.
He buys from other dealers in the home town, or ought to,
for the needs of himself and his family. The money he thus
spends stays here.
He pays taxes, and supports the churches and gives to
charity, and is always handing it out" for some worthy local
cause.
His employees live here, and the money he pays them keeps
on circulating around among us.
He can not afford to overcharge, because he would soon
lose his trade if he did.
In every way he is an asset to the community-a conven-
fence and an actual benefit to you.

SENTIMENT IN BUSINESS

Were business confined always to the strict letter of the
contract, and were all that a man receives from his labor the
sum of money which can be tucked into an envelope, there
would be little happiness and no peace of mind in the world.
To be happy in his work, one must receive more than his wages
truly to be happy as an employer, one must pay more than can
be counted in money.
In the last analysis, the foundation of a successful business
is sentiment. When that is missing, loyalty jumps for the
largest offer-Edgar A. Guest.

NO E TO BURN

Each person who goes into a national forest to enjoy the
shade, the streams, the quiet and peace of Gods first temples,
should constitute himself a committee of one on prevention OF
destruction of trees. The American public is one of the greatest
offenders in forest destruction because of its carlessness with
fire. .
Matches are kept away from small children who have no
sense of responsibility. This should not be necessary in the
case of adults. One tree will make millions of matches, and

It takes some of US a long
time to understand clearly just
why the hardest way of doing
some things in golf in reality is
the easiest way to arrive at
the goal sought. Practice is
hard work, and it is doubly hard
when it is taken in all serious
ness. But it has been shown
that in one hour of practice the
player will hit perhaps fifty
times as many shots as he will
in a full round Of an 18-hole
course lin actua play.
Anyone can understand that
it is actually hitting the ball
forward that improves ones
playing. Therefore, one solid
week of diligent practice is
equal to a whole season of play
ing, measured by the improve
ment in the game of the player.
1t is difficult to get this mes
sage across to players, but l
can say that any one who tries
it will never regret having
done so.

est of all. his fine control when
the pinch was tightest has deserted

the fist fight Rommel had with a

Shibe Park a couple Of weeks back.
Ever since that night the fans have
been riding" him and roasting
him every time he appeared on the
field. He appears not to notice

of this which / recall is the case

took ten balls and started around

chipping the balls to some Of
the greens he would throw them
all back onto the fairway and
again chip them on. Then the
