GREAT INCREASE
IN PUMPJAPACITY
CLEANING WATER MAIN
ADDS TO EFFICIENCY.
Official Test and Comparison
Show Marvelous Advantage
of Oloaning.
An official test, made by Manager
Park Woodward and several mombers
of the water board, of the city pumps
Friday proved to greatly surpaoa oven
the expectations of those heartily In fa
vor of having the large main from the
river to the reservoir cleaned.
The contract signed by Dr. Whitney,
of the Hudson Contracting Company,
before work of cleaning the pipe was
commenced, stated that the pumps
must, after the cleaning, be able to
lift their guaranteed capacity. The test
easily broke all previous records In
the number of gallons of water lifted
by the pumps.
The two old 10,000,000 gallon pumps
which, when they were tried ten years
ago, lifted IS,374,140 gallons In twenty-
four hours, with the same pressure, 115
pounds, pumped 21,946,240 gallons, or
an Increase of 2,572,006 gallons, Friday.
When tested July 6, 1005, these'
pumps lifted 16,044.000 gallons. Re
tire cleaning the pipe the new 20,000,-
000 pump only pumped 11,380.000 gal
lons In twenty-four hours. Friday It
pumped under the same pressure. 110
KMinds, 17,020,000, an Increase of
>,040,000.
The work of cleaning the main cost
117,500, while It would havo cost $165,-
1100 to lay pipe giving the same In
crease. Manager Woodward stoutly
held out against all opposition that tho
cleaning of the pipe would be a suc
cess and the accuracy of his belief has
brought sit others to his way of think
ing.
WOMAN SEEKS DEATH
WITH JOISOM DOSE
After brooding ovor some remark
made to her by her husband, Mrs. C.
II. Raldwln. of 106 West Alexander
street, early Friday night swallowed an
overdoee of morphine In an effort to
end her life.
She was later discovered In her
room In a semi-conscious state. Dr.
J. L. McDaniel was summoned, and,
after working with her tor some time,
succeeded In getting her out of danger.
As soon as she revived, Mrs. Baldwin
declared abe had taken no poison, but
had poured the morphine out tn the
yard. She later stated, with a smile,
that she told this In an effort to throw
the doctor off the track and give the
poison a chance to take effect.
Mrs. Baldwin haa been III for some
time and It Is thought the condition of
her health caused her to become de
spondent. She ts said to have been in
an III humor all day Friday, brought
on by a remark of her husband. She
was reported Saturday as rapidly im

Of Paramount Importance.
While nil of this Is true, nnd clearly
foretells continued and convincing
prosperity for our grand old common
wealth, still the subject of paramount
Importance to any and all munlvlpali
ties—the one, perhaps, most often neg
lectod, but ttw chief factor In the pro-
Illation of Individual happiness and ar
terial prosperity—le municipal sanlta
tlon.
Without proper sanitary regulation*
the health of a community must suf
fer. ’ Without health, happiness ' be
comes Impossible and prosperity Im
probable. Sanitary science offers t<
every community the only safe and
permanent foundation upon which to
>utld a great city or-town. No people
can flourish and prosper where disease
and death have unbridled sway.
The highest duty that can be Impos
ed upon any form or grad* of govern
ment Is to protect and safeguard the
health and llvt* of Its cltlxen*. There
fore, aside from the plain duty that all
governments owe the people they gov
era, municipal sanitation become* i
necessity, os the principal agent In the
material advancement and commercial
prosperity of m community.
Factor In Civilization.
Municipal sanitation Is a prime fac
tor In modern civilization. It has been
made to mean anything from dlggln
a ditch to building a crematory, and
has an Unlimited flcld for labor. In
viting and Important alike to the
masses nnd the classes. Yet, a prop
er definition Is easy. Municipal sani
tation means simply the prevention of
all preventable diseases. This would'
be Ideal municipal sanitation.
Very many cause* operate to retard
and prevent the attainment of the Ideal,
but the nearer we approach It the bet
ter w# meat our obligations to the peo
ple, and the greater the protection to
he public health. The drat and chief
step In the prevention of preventable
diseases Is thorough municipal cleanll-
We are aroused to activity and ap
prehension when some well known tn-
ensety Infectious disease Invades our
city, and w* Isolate and vaccinate. We
prescribe drugs and puncture with
serums; we screen our houses, kill
mosquitoes and quarantine In most
cose* of this kind. We usually act .In
haste without adequate preparation nr
proper organization, and do many wise
and a great many foolish things. On-
the other hand, when certain diseases
which the public do not acknowledge
to be Infectious, decimates our towns,
cltle* and villages, It I* the custom to
do absolutely nothlt
Tuberculosis Worse
Tuberculosis kills Its hundreds where
yellow fever slays Its tens, and typhoid
’ever sends more victims to the grave
In one year than smallpox doe* In a
decade.
Epidemics, while dangerous, are not
nearly so deadly as the Infectious <11*.
esses we have In Our respective locall.
ties. Vaccination to prevent smallpox
Is proper and necessary, but not a whit
more so than the destruction of the
mosquito by screening of your house,
to avoid malaria.
It waa said that the chief agent In
the prevention of preventable diseases
was municipal cleanliness. Sanitary
cleanliness ts unknown and Impossible
without a properly organised competent
local board of health.
You cannot depend on a state board
of health; It I* too far away. Its ap-
Munlclpa! sanitation is a
prime factor In modern civili
zation.
It simply means the preven
tion of all preventable diseases.
Tuberculosis kills Its hun
dreds where yellow fever slays
Its tens and typhoid fever sends
mors victims to the grave In ohe
year than smallpox does In a
decade.
Every Incorporated township
should Immediately organize a
local board of health.
First duty of health boards
Is to see that drinking water Is
pure. Bolling Is safest and
best.
Closed sewer Is brat means
of ^sewerage and they should
empty below the source of water
supply.
Cleanliness and pure water
for rows are Imperative to se
cure pure milk. No stagnant
water should be allowed.
People must realize necessity
for new methods In municipal
sanitation.

i'unction mostly advisory. A county
board will not meet the exacting re
quirements of municipal sanitation, be
cause conditions are so essentially dif
ferent. A condition which might be
sanitary In th* county would b* dan
gerous to health In the city.
Local Boards of Health.
Every Incorporated township should
Immediately organise a local board of
health. No department of city govern
ment la more necessary and none so
Important to the public health. Put
yaur beat cltlxana on the board, which
should always Include one or more
physicians. The education and Incli
nation of a physician peculiarly lit* him
for this kind of work. Laymen, while
honest and earnest, have proven fail
ures os health officer*. Be a* liberal
aa your means will afford to your
health board, llowaver willing and
competent they may be, they can make
no sanitary reforms without the expen
diture of money.
If the public health Is worth any
thing, then th* board must have the
proper morel, legal and financial sup
port necessary to safeguard th* earn*.
With an organised board of health,
the way* and means furnished munici
pal sanitary cleanliness can be accom
plished, and In no other way.
Pur# Drinking Water.
The first duty of any health board I*
i see that the drinking water I* pure.
In the large elite* modern filter plants
solve this problem, with reasonable
tfely.
The bent filter plants will entirely re-
move turbidity and from 45 to *4 per
Cent of bacteria from drinking water.
And so long as th* plant ts kept In per
fect order danger to th* public health
from this source Is reduced to a mini
mum. __
it Is latha smaller towns where lU:tr have' U* With board 'audits h-'.uih
plants are found to be too expensive
that th* greatest danger from contami
nated water Is found. Here etansa]
vigilance Is the price of health nml life.
It Is not enough to see that the main
stream which supplies the drinking
water Is uncontntnlnated. but that all
streams feeding It are likewise kept
pure and wholuoma.
Cause of Typhoid Fever.
The Infection df water produces more
typhoid fever than all other couscb
combined. The town of Plymouth, Pa,
directly traced 1,200 cases of this much
dreaded fever to a single cose on the
banks of one of the streams that fur
nished Its water supply.
Well water may be cool nnd patat
able, but In many a village, town and
hamlet It' Is as dangerous as dyna
mite, and as deadly as cholera. Th*
older the town the greater llablllty
o( Infection to its well water. Spring
water also can easily become a fertile
source of typhld fever Infection. The
land above and on the sides of
spring—used to supply drinking water
—should be carefully protected from
the danger nf all sewerage, lll-flltra-
tlon and consequent contamination.
Should there be reasonable certainty,
or even strong suspicion, that the water
has become Infected, all ufced for drink
ing purposes from streams or springs
should be boiled until the water supply
has had time to purify Itself. In the
meantime seek for the source of Infec
tlon and correct It. If the water comes
from a xvell the well should be filled up
at once and the supply obtained else
where. Well water for drinking pu
poses must be like Caesar’s wife, abo-
suspicion.
Various small filtering devices for
household use are sanitary If carefully
cleaned each day. But boiling Is safest
and best. If there be danger In the
water.
Sewerage Must be 8afe.
While It Is Imperative for every
town and vlllaga to get rid of the sew
erage and garbage, they must be con
veyed to some place where they can
not endanger the drinking water, not
only of the people, but the milch cows
as well. Cow* drinking Infected water
can cause a widespread epidemic of
typhoid fever. The best method of
relieving a town of Its sewerage Is by
means of the closed sewer system.
Terra cotta pipes of large being
employed for this purpose. This plan
Is rather expensive at first, but much
the cheapest In th* long run. Wood
sewer*, either open or closed, soon rot,
and leak, and not only produce bad
odors, but constant danger. They are
but one degree better than open
ditches. Sewers should empty at som*
point bslow all th* sources of the
water supply, as far from th* town as
practicable, and always. If poaslbla.'ln
a free running body of water.
Burning- is Cheapest.
The cheapest way for a small town
to dispose of Its garbage Is to cart It to
a convenient dump pile, In th* mini
unused part of the euburbs, sway from
any source of water supply, and there
burn It. Under no circumstances al
low. It to accumulate In your back
yards, vacant lot*, street* or on the
border* of the town. If you do It will
contaminate the atmosphere, breed
mosquitoes and produce disease.
Stagnant water Is always Insanitary
and should never be nllowed In a town
or near It. (Children will almost In
variably drink It. and milk cowa al
ways, besides. It I* the natural bread
ing place of every variety of mosqul
toes.
No municipal sanitation Is complete
which falls to remdey this dangerous
evil. If the stagnant body of water
I* large, drain It by ditches or aewera;
If small, either drain It, or cover It
regularly with keroaene. No better
disposition can' be made of the ashes
of a town than to fill these pools after
they have been drained.
To 8»eur* Pur* Milk.
If we are to have pure milk for our
children, the aged and Invalids, It 14
necessary that all cow stalls and dai
ries shall be kept scrupulously clean
and the cows furnished pure drinking
water. No-hogs should be kept with
in the corporate limits of any city,
town or village. All houses should be
built high enough from the ground to
afford free ventilation underneath.
Then this allow* on* to dean under th*
house and keep It unitary. If possible
ever>- house should be thoroughly
acreened. This will prevent the en
trance of mosquitoes and files—th*
two gtmraon carriers of disease. The
decreased expense for physic*ns and
medicines will pay for the screening
In a short time. If screens are too
expensive, then sleep under nets from
spring till rroat.
V.’hlle all of this It Decenary In mu-
nilcpal sanitation. In onler to prevent
disease, yet you can not accomplish It
In a day or week. The people have
to alt gradually and s>allently be edu
cated up to such methods.
Necessity for New Methods.
No advance can be expected In pub
lic affairs until the people are brought
to realise the desirability and, there
fore, necessity, for changes In old and
well established rules and customs.
If communities could be brought to
understand that health officers and
health board have poattvely proven
that smallpox can be prevented and
consumption cured, then would our
health authorities receive that In-
fluence and co-operation which their
office and works so richly merit?
