Super Colonization
Improves Water Taste

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 28.-CP-A new
method of eliminating the foul
odor and taste of drinking water
containing chlorine was described to-
day as so simple and inexpensive
it could be used anywhere.
It is even more interesting, said
Prof. Max Levine of Iowa State
college in paper before the So.
ciety of American Psychologists
because it represents "a complete
about face" from the old theory
that the more chlorine used to purify
the water the worse the taste.
The bad taste results more from
the lack Of sufficient chlorine thar
from its use in excessive quaint
ties, Levine explained.
He hailed Experimentation" as
the newest discovery in the water

"A little chlorine will exaggerate
the TASTE" he said, "but more of II

TO A. B. E.. BOARD
Wilson Resident Selected BY
Hoey To Replace F. Webb
Williams

RALEIGH, Dec. 2S.@RNGov-
ernor Hoey announced today the
resignation of F. Webb Williams
of Elizabeth City from the State
Board of Alcoholic control and the
appointment of A. Roy Moore OF
Wilson to fill his unexpired term.
Moore will serve until April %,
1912. He will take office Monday,
when the board will meet to be-
gin work on its 1871 list of al
coholic beverages to be sold in
the dispensaries.
Williams was a member of the
1885 and 1887 general assemblies
from Pasquotank County and was
again elected a representative this
year. He was first named to the
board for a two-year term in April,
1887. and was reappointed in 1889
for a three-year term.
The governor made public a tele-
gram in which Williams said, "In
accordance with our understanding
before the primary, I herewith
tender my resignation as a men,
Der of the State Board of Alcoholic
control. It has been a genuine
pleasure to serve in this capacity
during the administration of such
an able and fine Governor"
Hoey explained that he had told
Williams, while he was a can
didate for the House from Pas
quotank, that he need not resign
because he was running, but that
if he were elected he could quit
the office at any time before the
1871. general assembly meets.
The Governor said Moore was
a druggist and very active" in
Wilson civic affairs. He was per-
sonally a dry but probably voted
for icro1 stores" Hoey added.

been at war, with their governments
in exile or temporary capitals, can
only guess at their own losses. Only
Britain, Germany and Italy offer de-
tailed casualty figures, and these in
each case are disputed by their op'
%ponents.
In this modern total war, civilian
casualties swell the totals by scores,
even hundreds, of thousands. Bombs
fall on homes as often as military
targets. In Britain the war has
claimed more civilian dead a n d
wounded-59, 819-than the total of
dead, wounded and missing, but not
including prisoners, of army, navy
and air force-40,330
