Damn Easements

Damp Easements are often due
to improper backflling. When a
foundation is dug and later refilled,
rubbish is sometimes used in the
fill. Water running down the walls
OF the house collects in pools and
seeps through pores or cracks in
the walls and into the basement.
The remedy is to refill the trench
with clean, carefully packed dirt.
In extreme cases it may be neces-
sary to install tile drain at the
bottom of the trench to carry of
the water.

Wine From Milk

Many people interested in the welfare of agriculture
have been disturbed by the drinking wine spirits and
beer feeling that it tended to decrease the of dairy
products In short people who drank would be less
likely TO drink milk.
Now the chemurgists making wine from milk 1t
is produced from whey much of which is wasted.
Chemists have been trying for long time to devise
products to be made from whey. Clothing is already
achieved, and now less by accident, they have
stumbled the fact that sort of wine may also be
made from it.
This jumbes everything all up. for milk is more

SINFUL PRACTICES
Editor. The Times: The recent
letter condoning places Of sin,"
shows very shallow and foolish
reasoning. There Is no privi-
lodged class or necessity of sin
ming. Gods law still stands:
Thou shalt not commit adult
terry" Solomon said: But who
80 committeth adultery with a
woman lacked understanding;
he that doeth it destroyeth his
own soul" Prov. 6:32) There
is only one standard of living
for men and women. The pic
ture described. If reversed would
be dreadful but essentially no
worse.
A careless and licentious man
does not become wholesome by
later marrying a good woman,
and what parent would give a
noble daughter in marriage to
such an individual?
We are never too good to 70
the limit, to lift men out of the
mire or slippery places. but we
can never condone sin. There
are still many plain good men
and women who are SO by the
grace of God and by their own
honest endeavors. This is the
day we need to tie up with Dr.
vine inspiration, rugged stand
ards of glife. and to pull with all
our might, but 1t is worth while
and Is the abiding thrill and Joy
of life.
The conditions of our city are
deplorable. One need not be on
q committee or make night cru
sades to see and know that our
city is wide open. and that, with
the knowledge and consent Of
those who have been chosen to
enforce our laws. We are suf-
fering from too much politics.
1t is high time that the good
people of this city. who are still
in the large majority. rise. unit

and insist on respect for law
and order.
Sin is always sin and must
never become a matter Of bar

To do Ia To examine the house
to learn how the termites gain

feet then should be remedied
by raising the house or putting

After that It would seem ad-
visable to rip out the affected
boards and replace them.
