PROTECTION OF PRIVATE
WATER SUPPLIES
-
lly GEORGIA STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
Due to the unprecedented water famine many people have been forced
to obtain drinking water from shallow wells and springs, In adarge num-.
ber of examinations of well and spring waters over a period of six years,
we have found that water obtained from the large majority of these types
•fif supplies is polluted and dangerous to use for drinking purposes, The
following recommendations are given so that any person drinking water j
^the from questionable sources can protect themselves against pollution that
water may contain.
.First Method: Boiling all water used for drinking and washing raw
vegetables five minutes. (This does not mean that the water is to be simply
heated, but means it must actually boil.> The flat taste resulting may be
partially removed by pouring the water from one vessel into another several
times, or by adding a pinch of salt. I
Second Method: A larger body of water may be sterilized, as the entire
well, by the use of Calcium Hypochlorite, commonly known as chloride of
lime, chlorinated lime, or bleaching powder. (Builders lime has no effect on
sterilizing water.) Purchase this chemical at any drug store in sniafl tin
cans. A fresh supply should be obtained because the chemical deteriorates
somewhat upon standing. '
Add one ounce of chloride of lime for each 1,000 gallons of water to
be treated. If scales are not available take a moderately heaping table
gaoonful of chloride of lime, which weighs approximately one ounce. The
amount of water present in a circular well or cistern can be determined
from the following table: j

Rub up the dry powder with a small amount of water to make a ifhin
paste, taking care to break up all lumps, and stir this paste into a bucket
of water This had best be done out-of-doors to avoid the chlorine fumes
which evolved. Pour the contents of the bucket into the well and f
are
oossible agitate the water with a clean board to insure thorough mixing,
This should be done in the evening so the water can stand over night, j
The water next morning may have a taste of chlorine which is not in any

pumped out. Any process of sterilization is- at best only a temporary
and immediate steps should be taken to reconstruct the well so
measure,
that it will be protected against further contamination.
Third Method: For sterilizing small quantities of water with chloride
A of lime, rub up a moderately heaping teaspoonful of the chemical with a
( small amount of water in the manner indicated above and add sufficient
water to make a pint. Of this solution use one tablespoonful for each ■
ten gallons of water to be treater, or 36 drops to the gallon. i
Fourth Method: The U. S. Army Corps has found that two drops of
ordinary tincture of iodine (7',) added to a quart of water will destroy
all disease germs and render the water safe for drinking purposes in one
half hour. This method has proved very effective in experimental work
done by the Georgia State Board of Health.
.V Smiling Through"
We love an optimist. Don’t you?
Mention has been made in these
columns, as in all daily papers, of
the distressing effects of withering
drought in much of the Southeast. It
has been particularly bad in the vi
cinity of Greenwood, S. C., where
farmers find that their year’s work
has come to naught and they face a
hard winter.
But the Greenwood Index-Journal
finds no occasion for the sheding of
vain tears. Conditions are bad, but
they could be worse, and something
can yet be done to retrieve disaster.
The Greenwood paper says:
“When it rains, and undoubtedly it
•will rain some day—it should be re
membered that the most important
thing before the farmer is to do some
thing to provide feed for his farm
1 AAimals.
“The outlook now is most gloomy.
No feed has been made nor can it he
made now in time to support stock
through the winter—unless some of
the cane crops come in for those who
have put in cane.
<* Feed will have to be bought for
next year’s crop and that is very dis¬
tressing. But the handicap may in
part be offset by sowing oats now.
We may have a hard winter, and
some of the weather men are predict¬
ing a hard winter. Grain is likely to
SOUTHERN WILL RUN LAST
FLORIDA EXCURSION SEPT. 5

The last excursion from Macon to
Florida this seazon has been arranged
by the Southern Railway System for
Saturday, September 5. Cheap rates
will apply to Jacksonville, Tampa,
St. Petersburg, Bradenton, Saraso

West Coast. Brunswick, Ga., comes
in for the lowest excursion fare of
$5, while the fare to Jacksonville

sown just as soon as the rain conies.
And there should be lots of it put in
this year.
That beats singing a dirge forty

rates will apply to Miami nor any
other resort of the East Coast of

tickets to that resort will be routed
only via Jacksonville and the Sea

Excursion trains will leave Macon

Selling Georgia to
It’s well to sell Georgia to
world,*’ but before we can
do so we must sell Georgi x to
gians. Editor Allen of the
Observer, is effectively doing this in
his community as is witnessed by the
following,
There is not another section that
has such climate, winter and summer.
There is not another section with
such evenly distributed and abundant
rainfall.
There is not another section where
lands are so cheap and so productive,
There is not another section that
produces so many for the cash crops,
There is opportunity in every acre
in Colquitt county.
It is a good place to live and work,
It is the Land of Opportunity for
the Man IV ho Works. s.” It really is
this,
The man who lives here and qjvns
land should highly prize his posses
sion, and he should hold to it anil
work to make it more productive and
more profitable.
The man who does not own land
here still has an opportunity to pos¬
sess a home and a farm at very rea
sonable prices and on attractive
terms.
Florida is a good- state to visit, and
for many it is a good place to live,
but the man who is born for a career
on the farm will find his opportunity
in Colquitt county.
The lands are productive, but
will be more productive. They are
demand. This is the commg
tural section.
When every man and woman, every
boy and girl believes in his state as
he should then we’ll witness
greatest advancement of our
and probity. whW. we

That “Damn Farce
A member of the appropriation
committee of the Georgia house of
representatives at a meeting a few
nights ago characterized the action
of the committee in appropriating
more money than the state can pos¬
sibly pay with its present income as !
a "damn farce."
I Intelligent people have often won-
1 dered why the legislature persists in
appropriating more money than the
i state can pay. Certainly there in no
I thing smart in such a procedure. It
is not common sense. It is not good
, business.
An outsider would naturally expect
the legislature to match income and
: outgo. If the state hasn’t the money,
and no prospect of getting it, it is
j certainly childish and to appropriate embarrass vast the
sums to burden
state.
This particular member of the ap¬
propriation committee spoke by the
record when he called it a “damn
farce.” A good many people have had
that idea for some time.—Jackson

Kicking One's Self to Death
If the man using the hammer on
the other fellow*^would think twice
before he delivers the blow he would
realize that every knock is a boost,
The fellow knocking his town and
those engaged in moving it forward
is hurting himself and his own busi
ness far more than he is the objects
of his wrath. You can’t build up by
tearing down.
Constructive criticism, with a heip
ing hand and a willing heart, is quite
another thing.
Pointing out the things that hinder
and, retard, with remedies that
cure or suggestions that will help,
is good and well, but destructive and
derogatory criticism is sand in the
bearings. No business institution can
succeed with half the force pulling
back. The same is true of a town, a
county, a state, a nation.
The man who is always finding
fault is w-rong himself, and is ren¬
dering himself a poor service that is
bound to bring him, soon or late,
adrift the shoals of disaster—Dalton
Citizen.
Truth is constantly getting in the
way of some people. That is probably
why it is crushed to earth so often.
