flushing of the mains be tried in the
districts where tastes and odors occur
in the water. This practice is suggest
ed for trial over a short period of
time to determine its effectiveness in
eliminating this taste and odor from
the water. BY determining the length
of time between the re-occurrence of
taste in the water in different dis
tricts, it may be possible to work out
a system of flushing to relieve the
districts most affected, and to aban-
don the present system of flushing
the entire system once month.
- Conclusion
"The field survey shows conditions
which are satisfactory from a sani-
tary point of view, and in the analy-
teal results indications of contamina-
ton, having any sanitary signi-
ficance, were not found on this date.
This water supply is considered safe
for public consumption with the u.s.
ual reservations as stated on the at
tached sheet entitled Conformation
Relative to Water Supply Investiga-
tons"

Information Relative to Water Sup.
ply Investigations
''The field investigation of water
supply system comprises an inspec-
ton of the structural features of the
system which may effect the safety
and sanitary quality of the water TO,
domestic use. The investigation may
include the collection Of samples OF
water for archaeological, physical
and chemical analysis. The inspec-
ton Of the system is usually confined
to the source of supply, the location
ard construction of suction pipes
pumping apparatus, storage reser-
vas~s, etc. If the water is treated, an
Investigation is made of the y treat
naent plant.
Regulation No. POI, passed by
this Board reads:
"There shall be no physical
connection between water sup
ply systems that are safe for do
mestic use and those that are
unsafe for domestic USE"
These cross connections have been
found to be dangerous. Epidemics
have already occurred in Minnesota
and in many other parts of the coun-
try from such connections. The re.
sponsibility of locating and eliminat.
ing these cross connections in the
distribution, system rests with the
municipality, corporation, association
or individual responsible for the
supply. The statement contained in
this report to the effect that water
from this supply is considered safe TO,
public consumption is based on the
investigation of the system up to the
point where the water is delivered
under pressure into the distribution
system and is made with the under
standing that no such cross connec.
tons exist.-Minnesota State Boart

SANTA'S MAIL HEADQUARTERS

Santa Claus has established a
branch postoffice for his especial use
at the Boston Store where the little
tots of the community can mail their
letters, to him. Many letters have
been received but several of them are
unsigned making it impossible for
Santa to know who his little friends
are. The mail box at the Boston
will be kept open for another week
and all children writing St. Nick
must be careful and sign their
names to their letters.

are sensitive to light, though they
are not sufficiently developed to-
give images Of objects.
Many Breathe Air
Many snails, both land ana water
forms, breathe air, as the mammals
do. These are called the "pulmon-
ante" snails. Their lungs are simple
and saclike and are located about
the middle Of the body, nearer to the
head than to the tail. The breathing
pore opens and closes from time TO
time and can easily be seen on the
back near the head, a little to one
side. Snails which breathe in the
water are provided with delicate
fringes Of leaflike gills, like those of
the clam. the oyster, or the fish.
Over these gills pure water is kept
flowing and from this the blood takes
the oxygen. These snails, therefore,
do not need to come to the surface
to get air. The big marine or salt
water snails, like the whellcs and
wrinkles, which live on the bottom OF
TIC OSSeliif DlSdlAAo III Iiiio way
Snails multiply by laying eggs,
often in wonderful capsules. Those
that live on land hatch out directly
as little snails; but those that live in
the water come out Of the egg as
very minute creatures, which go
swimming freely through the water
by means Of numerous fine vibrat-
ing hairs C'cilia'D located at various
portions Of the body. Soon the lit
tie ciliated young, or larvae, settle
down, lose their ella, and develop
into snails.
Those that build shells add coil
after coil to their houses as they
grow, building it up from the front
door" as fast as they need more
room. Some Of the most beautiful
Of animal structures are the small
snail shells, especially those which
come to us from tropical waters.

RI ULL creatures you find the
Ih snails at first, and dismiss
II them as not worth your in
terest. But waitl Did you sknow
that snails have a highly developed
"homing" instinct by which they
find their way back to their hiding
places in the most wonderful and
mysterious way? Did you know that
a snail weighing less than half an
ounce has been known to drag more
than a pound of weight over table?
Did you know that If a snail loses
one of It's "eye,horns," 1t simply
grows another? Did you know that
a snail can crawl over the edge Of
the sharpest razor without cutting It,
self? These are just a few of the
interesting things about these queer
mollusks.
There are two great classes of
snails-those with shells and those
without. Those that live in shells
have coiled body which fits into
the coil of their shell; this shell they
carry about with them. Their bodies
are provided with strong muscles by
means Of which the body can be
withdrawn entirely within the shell
when danger threatens. Some snails
have a horny disk on the foot which
is just the size of the opening of
their shell. When the snail is fully
withdrawn within the shell tlds
horny disk just closes the opening,
and thus the soft body is completely
protected. Other snails seal up the
doors OF their houses with a Shiny
substance. which hardens, and in
this sealed up condition they can live
through a dry period which would
otherwise kill them.
No Shells
Some land snails, commonly called
slugs. have no shells, or only very
tiny scales, on their back. Their
bodies are soft, yet muscular and
tough, and are straight, not coiled
The common garden slugs are small
black, or dark brown, and less than
an inch in length when fully ex.
tended. Another species which is
becoming common is the great gray
slug" This is a handsome creature
being light gray marked with black
and often reaches a length of four
inches. 1t was brought into the
United States some time ago from
Europe. The sense of smell is very
delicate In slugs, and they are able
to detect the presence of food at
long distances. Some slugs are very
destructive to lettuce and cabbage
leaves, as well as to fallen fruit. In
Europe they are serious pests.
Snails live in salt water, in fresh
water, and on land. They feed most.
ly on plant material, though many
are flesh eaters. They cut or shred
their food to pieces by means Of a
peculiar ribbon-like apparatus in the
mouth, which is called the radula,

are located at the tips of the long
antennae, or tentacles. or at the

SHORTAGE of calves,

m SHORTAGE of calves, the
a first of the year at the
S local stock exchange. Is
predicted by Robert H., Drake of
johnson, Tibbs & Drake, livestock
dealers.
Whether the shortage will cause
price increase is problematical,"
said c. B. Gardner. another dealer.
The calf market is conducted from
day 20 day with no apparent general
trend. Urgent demand will boost
prices, but they soon return to the
previous level. On the other hand.
an over supply will cause a slump
in value and a shortage the follow
ing day will cause prices to Jump.
Most opinions on the trend of the
calf situation are based on the pre-
vious performance of the market.
SHORTAGE In the supply of
lA sheep and lambs is forecast
49, by Fred Higbee, a trader in
the sheep and lamb section OF the
local Livestock Exchange. 'The
prices on choice quality stuff will
be boosted as a result OF the small
supply" Higbee said.
How high the prices viii go can.
not be determined. Traders are OF
the opinion that choice bovines will
be expensive while the mediums will
probably remain steady and be
plentiful.
At the present time the farmers
are paying from SIS to $3.50 a
hundred weight for feeding lambs.
Their only chance for a profit Is in
bringing the lambs back to the
market and gaining a premium for
the extra weight at the same price.
If profit is shown at all It will be
without thought of labor cost.
M ACKERS anticipate an in
crease in the price of good
IL cattle for the next few
months. Cheap corn will allow the
farmer to feed his stock on grain.
Grain and hay fed stock are, as a
rule, of better quality than grass
fed ones. They dress better and the
packer can afford to pay more for
the additional quality.
At present the prices OF cattle arc
higher than usual. Low supply,
better quality, and an increased de-
mand cause the situation, cattle
traders say.
