Henryetta. Okla. April Is R-
Death came closer than was gener-
ally realized to the 10 miners trapped
by food waters for eight hours in
the old Wise coal mine near here
yesterday.
One Of the miners related today
how the breaking OF "gobway"
wall, built to control air circulation,
stopped the rise of the floor water
from Coal Creek. This wall gave
way under the rising water and per-
mitted drainage to lower parts of the
shaft, this saving the men who had
taken refuge on a higher level.
The trapped men We're brought to
the surface late yesterday through
the shaft Of another mine. They

ing that there was a connecting pas
sage between the two mines, went

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
-By DE-. g. "a. D. Reed

TUE season IL rapidly approach.
ing when, IL you live in the
country, you will be running the
greatest danger of typhoid fever.
This disease Is always at its
worst in rural districts in period
OF dlought. such as are expert
enced in the United States dur
ing the late summer and early
autumn.
This is because the water sup
ply ID lowest and consequently
more dangerous at that period.
Properly TO protect yourself and
family you must give careful at
tention to the water consumed
for domestic purposes.
Water for domestic use should
be clear, lustrous, odorless, color
less, wholesome, soft, neither
strongly acid nor alkaline. and its
temperature should be about 40
degrees F.. for general purposes.
II well-water varies much In
temperature. or If it is cloudy
after rain, there are good grounds
TOR suspecting that the well Is
admitting water from the surface
or near 1t, and steps should be
taken at once to stop what may
be a fatal source of pollution.
Surface water near q farm or
dwelling contains all manner of
filth. and TO drink 1t is to court
death.
In the meantime, danger can be
largely averted by boiling or by
chlorination. Germs in water can
be killed by boiling 1t for not less
than Is minutes.
COLONIZATION Is a less desirable
metod. It may be done as fol-
ows: Make a stock solution with
three level teaspoonfuls Of chlor-
ide Of lime in one quart of water
and shake thoroughly. Add one
teaspoonful of this solution to
every two gallons Of water, stir
well, and allow to stand for 20
minutes, when the water will be
fit to drink. The stock solution
will remain active for about two
weeks If it Is kept properly stop
pered in a cool, dark place.
Here are a few rough and ready
tests for rural residents who
rarely see a sanitary inspector or
a county health officer. Water
that has practically no smell in
the bucket may betray itself
when shaken or heated, and de-
velop the characteristic smell of
earth, mould, sulphur, fish or
sewage.
A green tint shows pollution by
vegetation. Brown or yellow show
organic impurity, lie. contamina.
ton by animal or vegetable ma.
terial.
In order to determine whether
a well is being polluted by a
neighboring cess-pool or drinking
pond, make barrel-full of brine
with 100 to 200 pounds OF salt,
and pour the lot into the sus.
pected source. Collect a sample
of the well-water before this test,
and other samples, one, six,
twelve, twenty.four, or forty
eight hours after pouring in the
brine. If these samples taste
salty, the well Is dangerous. Even
IL they do not they should never
theless be sent to the health Of.
ficer or the nearest analyst for
testing.
The sediment left by water
should be heated in a small porce.
lain dish over a spirit flame until
it is completely evaporated. If 1t
blackens or chars, it contains or.
ganic matter.
Some Of the diseases, other
than typhoid, that are caused by
contaminated water are dysen.
terry, diarrhea, cholera and Ger.
