An official lest, matte by Manager
Park Woodward and several members
of the water board, of the city pumps
Friday flrovcd to greatly surpass even
the expectations of those heartily In-fa-
vt}r of having the large main from tbe
river to the reservoir dsaned.
The contract signed by Dr. Whitney,
of the Hudson Contracting Company,
before work of cleaning the pipe was
commenced, stated that tho pumps
must, after tho 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 gsllon pumps
which, when they were tried ten years
ago, lifted 10,374.140 gallons In twenty-
four hours, with tbe same pressure, 116
pounds, pumped 11,940,140 gallons, or
su Increase of 3,573,005 gallons, Friday.
When leafed July 6. 1005, these
pumps lifted 16,044,000 gallons. Be
fore cleaning the pipe the new 30,000,-
000 pump only pumped 11.800,000 gal
lons In twenty-tour hours. Friday It
pumped under ths same pressure, 110
pounds, 17,930,0<K>, tn Increase ot
5.940.000.
The work of cleaning ths main cost
$7,600, while It would have cost $165,-
000 to lay pipe giving the same in
crease. Manager Woodward stoutly
held out against sll opposition that the
cleaning ot the pipe would be a suc
cess and the accuracy of hla belief hat
brought all others to his way ot think

after working with her for aome time,

As soon as she revived, Mrs. Baldwin
declared she had taken no poison, but
had poured the morphine out In the
yard. She later staled, 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 has been III for some

8TRONG POINTS SHOWN
IN MORGAN PAPER.
IMPERATIVE NEED OF
EFFECTIVE SANITATION
Dr. J. B. Morgan's Powerful Pa
per Before the Municipal
League at Augusta.
Dr. J. B. Morgan, of Augusta, read
before the recent meeting of the Munf-
Ipal League, held In that city, an fn-
terentlng and Instructive pat>er on the
lircc.-ulty of sanitation In the smaller
cities and towns and tbe best methods
bringing It about. The paper
aroused earnest discussion and waa the
subject of a great deal cf comment.
The full text of the paper follows:
Mr. I'l-I H|.|.-nt an-1 Member* * * f He-
Laaguo: I thank you sincerely for the
genuine pleasure and useful Informa
tion derlveif from attending this meet
ing. Many subjects of vital Import
ance and universal Interest to every
municipality will be ably discussed and
elucidated at 'his session. The results
ur careful progressive delibera
tions cannot fall to be helpful to every
city, town and village In Georgia.
1 congratulate you on the splendid
fork done and the progressive plans
suggested for further Improvement In
municipal affairs. The material Inter
ests of our cities must of necessity
strldo to the forefront with such faith
ful, up to date officials In the lead.
Of Paramount Importance.
While all of I Ills is true, and clearly
foretells continued .and convincing
prosperity for our grand old common
wealth, still the subject of paramount
Importance to any and nil municipali
ties—the one, perhaps, most often neg
lected, but the chief factor In the pro
motion of Individual happiness and ma
terial prosperity—Is municipal sanita
tion.
without proper sanitary regulations
tho health of a community must suf
fer. With.ml health, happiness h.--
. "ini-' impossible and prosperity Im
probable. Sanitary (dance offers to
every community tbs only safe and
permanent foundation upon which to
build a gnat city or town. No people
ran flourish and prosper where disease
and death have unbridled sway.
The highest duty that can be Impos
ed upon nny form or grade of govern
ment Is to protect and safeguard the
health and lives of Its cltlxena. There
fore, aside from the plain duty that all
governments owe the people they gov
ern, municipal sanitation become* a
necessity, aa the principal agent In the
material advancement and commercial
prosperity of a community.
Factor In Civilization.
Municipal sanitation Is a prime fac
tor In modern civilization. It has J>een
made to mean anything from dlggtn
n ditch to building a crematory, and
hns an unlimited fleld for labor. In
viting and Imp..riant alike to the
massos and tho rlasses, Tet, a prop
er definition Is easy. Municipal sani
tation means simply the prevention of
all preventable disease*. This Would
be Ideal municipal sanitation.
Very many causes operate to retard
end prevent tho attainment of the Ideal,
but the nearer we approach U tha bet.
ter we mrdt our obligations to the peo.
pie, nnd the greater tho protection to
the public health. The flrst and chief
step In the prevention of preventable
diseases la thorough municipal cleanll
neas.
We are aroused to activity nnd ap
prehension when some-well known In
tensely Infectious disease Invades our
city, nnd we Isolate nnd vaccinate. W#
prescribe drugs nnd puncture with
serums: we screen our houaea, kill
mnaqultoea and quarantine In moat
rases of thla kind. We usually act In
haste without adequate preparation or
proper organization, and do many wl*e
and a great many fooltah things. On
the other hand, when certain diseases
which the public do not acknowledge
to be Infectious, decimates our towns,
cities and villages, ll la the custom to
do absolutely nothing.
Tuberculosis Wors* Than Yellow Jack.
Tuberculosis kills Its hundreds where
yellow fevef alaye Its tens, and typhoid
fever sends more victims to the grave
In one year than smallpox does In a
decade.
Epidemics, while dangerous, are not
nearly so deadly as the Infectious dls-
Mtses we have In our respective locali
ties. Vaccination to prevent smallpox
Is proper and necessary, but not a whit
more so than th* destruction of tha
mosquito by screening of your house,
to avoid malaria.
It waa said that the chief agent In
the prevention of preventable diseases
waa municipal cleanliness. Sanitary
cleanliness Is unknown and Impossible
without a properly organised competent
local board of health.
You cannot depend on a state board
of health; It la too far away. Its ap-
tropriatlon usually too limited and Its
'unction mostly advisory. A county
board will not meet th* exacting re
quirement* of municipal sanitation, be
cause conditions are so essentially dif
ferent. A condition which might be
sanitary In the county would be dan
gerous to health In the city.
Local Boards of Haalth.
Every Incorporated township ahould
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
your best cltlxena on tha board, which
ahould always include one or more
physician*. The education and Incli
nation of a physician peculiarly fits him
for this kind of work. Laymen, while
honeet and earnest have provan fail
ure* aa haalth officer*. Be aa liberal
aa your means will afford to your
health board. However willing and
competent they may be, they can make
no sanitary reforms without the expen
diture of money.
If the public health I* worth any
thing, then the board must have th*
proper moral, legal and financial sup
port necessary to safeguard the same.
With an organised board of health,
the ways and means furnished munici
pal sanitary cleanliness can b* accom
plished, and In no other way.
Pure Drinking Water.
The first duty of any health board Is
> see that thr drinking water le pure.
In the large cities modern Alter plants
solve this problem, with reasonable
safety.
The beat Alter plants will entirely re
move turbidity and from ft to 96 per
cent of bacteria from drinking water.
And so long as th* plant la kept In per
fect older danger to the public health
from this source Is reduced to a mini
mum.
It la In the smaller towns where Alter
Municipal sanitation is a
prim© 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 nnd typhoid fever sends
more victims to tho grave In one
year than smallpox does In a
decade.
Every incorporated towrnship
should Immediately organize* a
local board of health.
First duty of health boards
la to ae© that drinking water Is
pure. Bolling is safest and
beat.
Closed sewer Is best means
of sewerage and they should
empty below the source of water
supply.
Cleanliness * and pure water
for cows are Imperative to se- y
cure pure milk. No stagnant
water should be allowed.
People must realize necessity
for new methods In municipal
sanitation.

plants are found to be too expensive
that the greatest danger from contami
nated water Is fbund. Here eternal
vigilance is the price of health and life.
It Is not enough to see that the main
sr 11 -: 1111 which -upi.ll.s tho drinking
water Is uncontamlnated. but that ef
streams feeding it are likewise kept
pure and wholesome.
Cause of Typhoid Fever.
The Infection of water produce* more
typhoid fever than all other causes
combined. The town of Plymouth, Po.,
directly traced 1,200 cases of thla much
dreaded fever to a single case on the
banka of one of the streams that fur
nished Its water supply.
Well water may be cool and palat
able, but In many a village, town and
hamlet It Is as dangerous os dyna
mite, and as deadly as cholera. The
older the town the greater liability
of 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 of all sewerage, ill-flltra-
tlon and consequent contamination.
Should there be reasonable certainty,
or even strong suspicion, that the water
has become Infected, all used 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 Bourco of tnfee
tlon and correct It. If the water comes
from a well the well should be (Hied up
at once and the supply obtained else
where. Well water for drinking pur
poses must be like Caesar’s wife, stws
suspicion.
Various small Altering devices
household use are sanitary If carefully
cleaned each day. But boiling la safest
and beat, If there be danger In the
water. . •
Sewerage Must bs 8afs.
While It la Imperative for every
town and village to get rid of the sew
erage and garbage, they must be con
veyed to aome place where they can
not endanger the drinking water, not
only of the people, but tho milch cows
as well. Cows 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 pipe* of large sice being
employed for this purpose. This plan
Is rather expensive at ArsL but much
the cheapest In the long run. Wood
sewers, either open or closed, soon rot,
nnd leak, and not only produce bad
odors, but constant danger. They are
but one degree better than open
ditches. Sewers should empty at some
point below all the sources of the
water supply, aa far from the town as
practicable, and always, If possible. In
a free running body of water.

The cheapest way for a small town
to dispose of Its garbage Is to cart It to
a convenient dump pile, In the moat
unused part of tba suburbs, away from
any source of water supply, and there
burn It. Under no circumstances al
low It to accumulate In your back
yards, vacant lota, streets or on the
borders of the town. If you do It will
contaminate the atmosphere, breed
mosquitoes and produce disease.
Stagnant water la always Insanitary
and should never be allowed In a town
or-near It. Children will almost In
variably ilrlnk It, and milk cow* al
ways, besides, tt Is the natural breed
ing place of every variety of mosqui
to#*.
No municipal sanitation la complete
which fails to remdey this dangerous
evil. If tbe stagnant body of water
la large, drain It by ditches or sewers;
If email, either drain It, or cover It
regularly with kerosene. No better
disposition can be made of the ashes
of a town than to All these pools after
they have been drained.
To Sscur* Pur# Milk.
If we are to have pure milk for our
children, the aged and Invalids. It Is
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 th* ground to
afford free ventilation underneath.
Then thl* allows one to clean under the
house and keep tt sanitary. If possible
every house should be thoroughly
screened. This will prevent the en
trance of mosquitoes and Ales—the
two common carriers of disease. The
decreased expense for phyalcana and
medicines wttl pay for the screening
In a short time. If screens are too
expensive, then sleep under nets from
spring tilt frost.
While all of this Is necesary In mu-
nllcpal sanitation, tn order to prevent
disease, yet you can not accomplish It
In a day or week. Th# people have
to alt gradually and eatlentty be edu
cated up tn such methods.
Necessity for New Methods.
No advance can be expected In pub
lic affairs until the' people are brought
to realise th* 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 positvely proven
that smallpox can be prevented and
consumption cured, then would our
health authorities receive that In-
Auence and co-operation which their
office and works so richly merit?
Every township In ..ur state should ble re
have Its b* altli L—rd and its health I
