about the pumps.
Sterilization
All new wells must be considered as
contaminated This does not mean
that the ground water is polluted but
that the workmen in handling the
material and in digging the well, carried
in contamination with their hands and
tools and on their shoes. If the well
is properly constructed it is now time
to sterilize it with some form of
chlorine solution like chlorinated lime
and other chlorine solutions used in
washing beverage glasses and milk bot
ties. Wash down the walls of the well
with the solution and pour some down
through the pump Allow it to stand
some time before pumping out the
chlorine tasting water. After this, the
well cover must not be opened.
If you have constructed your well as
above prescribed you are now ready for
test on the water. If the construction
has not been of the materials and type
of construction as stated and if the
well has not been properly located, a
test means nothing and it is a waste
of time. The sample can not be taken
in any type of container. In brief you
must have well properly located which
permits no other water to enter it ex-
cept through the bottom; solid cover
and a pump with stuffing box. Then
you may call for bottle at the lab
oratory which has been washed anG
rinsed under distilled water and ster-
ilized by baking for a half day. The
spout of the pump must be famed with
alcohol before taking a sample.
Information is frequently asked il
water from certain lakes is fit to drink
All water supplies exposed to the all
must be considered unsafe from a
strictly sanitary aspect. Lakes are fit
to swim in but you are not expected
to drink of them while bathing and
WATERFRONT DISEASES enter only by way
of the mouth.
1t is true that you may use water
from well not as rigidly constructed
from a sanitary angle as above stated
for years, and not contract any disease.
The ground waters in general are pure
as they are in the ground, but the
people living about the well and using
it are the source of pollution. The
greater the number of users, the greater
the potential danger. Everything can
go along fine even with faulty con-
structed well until carrier comes along
and contaminates by way of the faulty
construction and the results will be
disastrous as happened at a nearby
c. c. G. camp few years ago. The
water supplies of municipalities are
rigidly guarded by local and state
governments, and are seldom source
of disease. Typhoid and other water
born diseases show up primarily in va
cation season and you can see the
reason for yourself.

BEST DONE IN FALL.

From now on until almost mid
September is the most advantageous
time to seed the lawn, says L. E.
Longley, University Farm horticulturist,
in a publication of the Minnesota Agri-
cultural Extension Service.
Though the kind of grass used, the
and climate affect time for seeding,
fall is better from this standpoint
grass grows well and most weeds do not.
However, if seeding is delayed much
after September 10, grass usually will
not get good start and winter injury
will result
The publication is Special Bulletin
100, Making the Home Lawn" and it
may be obtained free of charge from a
county extension agent, or from the
Bulletin Office, University Farm, St.
Paul. 1t will be valuable aid, since it
discusses completely the preparation of
the SOIL kind of seed to use and other
points important in making the lawn.

 She stood still in the center of the room, her arms filled with clothes she had just taken from the closet. Who would it be? Who could it be, but Sybil? And now she did not want to talk to Sybil. She did not want to ex- plain, to plead with her for un- derstanding. She coul6 not feel safe with her secret locked in Sybtl's breast. For Sybil could not remain true to trust; her eyes were too cold, too uncom- promising. She might promise, she might pledge, but she would keep the secret only as long as it suited her to do so.
 Joan tried to shut her ears to the phones insistent ringing. She would not answer it.
 It was not Sybil Hendry, how ever For Sybil, at that moment, was pacing up and down her own rose and silver boudoir. waiting impatiently for the call she had put through to Philip in Chicago.
 Twenty minutes later, her bro- thers voice came to her across the miles.
 Hello, Philip. Any news in Chicago?"
 Not a thing" His tone was discouraging. "This is wild goose chase, Syb. The girl worked with Ward & Cleaver, all right. I checked on that Got good re- ports on her, too. She lived at a girls club - the old matron even remembered her there. But be- yond that, I'm stuck"

 T hope it will. At any rate you're getting closer to facts"
 Philip, have you enough money?"
 Enough to get me to Seattle. I'll wire you from there."
