 Slot machines have not been in evidence in Waterbury in many months, while pin-games and similar games were banned last winter and have been missing since that time The old-fashioned "bell' machines have not been in the city for more than a year, and an attempt to bring in new streamlined slot ma chinese but which still paid in cash) was quickly checked by the authori- ties.
 Forgotten Games
 Horse race betting in Waterbury ended last fall. Policy, another popu- lar gambling pastime, is also out of existence, and has been for some time.
 Lieut.. Patrick Moylan and other members of the vice squad have been issuing the warnings tp storekeepers about the punchboards. The boards have been making their appearance in grocery stores, drug stores, news and cigar stores, taverns and other types of establishments, but are now on the way out.

 Springs For Water
Waterburians Still Wary of Drinking City Water;
 Authorities Vouch for Purity of "COlOred Aqua"

Apparently distrustful of the purity of city water, due to its pecu- liar coloring or unaware that the local health authorities have vouch- ed for it, hundreds of Waterburians are focking to nearby wells and springs and obtaining daily their supply. Particularly are scores anx- ious to obtain sufficient quantities for drinking water.
 In statement to the Democrat Monday evening Health Officcr Dr. Edward J. Godfrey assured the pub lie that the water serviced by the city was absolutely o. K. and un- contaminated by recent storms. De- spite this guarantee, however, and, the fact that the water is carefully checked and analysed daily and purified the parade to the wells and springs continue.
 Incidentally the following state- ment is not only timely, but rather significant:
 Typhoid Fever
 The annual toll of typhoid fever, dysentery and other ills arising from vacationists drinking unsafe water has already started, reports the American Water Works Association.
 The 1888 season starts of with 40 cases of typhoid fever contracted by vacationists drinking well water at roadside stand in Indiana. The well had been contaminated by a broken sewer only five feet from the well. In various areas many cases of dysentery, intestinal flu" and Summer complaint" are reported occurring from the use of impure water.
 Vacation joys may be followed by unpleasant ills if impure water is drunk by vacationists in their travels, warns the association, point ing out that the purity of water cannot be detected by ase or clarity. Germs are tasteless, odorless and in- visible.
 Posted
 In several states 1t is now com pulsory for wells and other water sources for tourists use to be eX- amined periodically and placards are posted to show that the sup ply is safe. Even in those states where such examinations of water are not mandatory, any roadside stand or resort should, for its own protection, make sure that its water supply is free from contamination.
 So great has been the progress of American cities in safeguarding their water supplies against con- tamination that many city dwellers do not realize that water as it oc- CUTS in naure may be impure.
 The average city water is much safer than that found in brooks, springs and wells in the country, for the purity of city water is con- stantly supervised by trained and skilled men. That is evidenced by the fact that in the past 20 years deaths from typhoid fever in the principal American cities have dropped from more than 20 to less than one per 100000 population an- nually. Water purihcation is chiefly responsible for that remarkable progress. If the purity of all water supplies was properly safeguarded, typhoid would disappear from the

Australian Camel Patrol

The Australian government
maintains its own breeding and
training stations for camels. The
two greatest fences in the world
one that bars the pestilential rab-
bits from entering the great
wheat belt of Western Australia,
the other erected against wild
dogs and rabbits along the border
of New South Wales and South
Australia-are both maintained by
government camel patrols.
Today in Australia, in a country
as large as the United States,
camels stand as an important
means Of transportation in the
arid and semi-arid central and
western areas and, in some re-
mote areas, are the only means Of
transportation at all.
Imported from India originally
with their Afghan breeders and
handlers, camels were introduced
to Australia as soon as the dryness
of the interior became known. Spe-
cial beasts and picked men were
ferried from India, for instance,
for the benefit of the famous ex-
plorers, Burke and Wills, who
crossed from Melbourne on the
south coast to the Gulf of Carpen-
TARA on the north as early as
1860. And in 1886 camels were
imported for all general service,
and in general service they remain
today. - A. R. Wetjen in Globe
Magazine.
