Practeally all the farms in Geor
gia, are supplied with water from
shallow wells. Tliia class of water
is very liable-to serious contamina
tion from sewerage and refuse ani
mal matter since the wells are al
ways located in the vicinity of
dwellings.
Absolutely pure water is neve'
found in nature impurities in natur
al water being derived from solid
liouid and gasous' material with
which it comes in contact. Tne
composition of well water varies in
very wide limits even wwhen the
waters are derived from the ■ same
peological formation, due to the
fact that the water percolates
ground which is saturated to a
greater or less extent with animal
and vegetable matter. Soils have
considerable -oxidising power for
this organic matter and i,t general
ly happens that it is entirely de
stroyed before reaching the well.
A lot of nitrates or ammonia in
well water is evidence that the wri
er has previously been in contaf t
“with organic matter.
A chemist analysis of water to
gether with a bacteriological exam
ination will determine whether it is
suitable for domestic purposes. The
bacteriological xamination is impor
tant where there has been sickness
in a community and espcially where
typhoid exists as this bacillus eas
ily gains access of water supplier-

is not as quickly accomplished a.i
pome people imagine. Boiling wat

99 per cent of all baeteial life and
fhe remainder is harmless..

Advrtising is to the businss world
what fertilizer is to the farmin':
world. It costs money to advertise.
-but the use of both pays big div
idends in the long run.
A great many people have the (»r-
roneous idea that only “big b isi-
i ess” should advertise—that it do *-
n’t pay the butcher, the baker, ot
\he candlestick-maker in the small
town to set his wares before the
Public through the medium of ihe
printed paper.
But (to use a popular slang x-
pression) this idea is all wrong, »?•
< ar all wrong.
As a mater of fact the public likes
to read attractivly worded attention
compelling advertisements. • This
is a part of the psychology of hu
man nature. Also the public li\»*s
progressiveness. And when a firm
a merchant or an individual ad /(.•:-
tises it is certainly a sign of pro-
gressiveness. When John Smith or
William Green or Sam Black adver

TYPHOID FEVER
The people of Georga have been
righting typhoid fever during the
past month and a half moi j earn
estly than ever before. Tin Stale
Loard of Health through the uovs-
japi*s and the physicians wuraed
r ! the citizens of the sta o that ty
phoid fefver threatened to fie quite
scrieue unless certain pro witiooary
ninsures be instituted; naincry v§-
cciuation and better sanitation.
Much activity was noted alona
these lirtes. In one county the conn
ty Health officer was able to secure
the installation of 500 sanitary pri
vies during the month of June. l-
so large quantities of typhoid vac
cine have been adminisjered by tne
health officers and physicians since
the publication of these warnings.
During the month of June the state
Board of Health Labratory filled or
ders for vaccine- to the amount *.»f
85000 c. c. or injections. A large
number of orders however were not
filled because of the inadequacy of
the supply of vaccine and also funds
for employing the necessary help t.*
manufacture the vaccine.
If any one wwishes to serure lae
cine free from the Inhibitory during
the present typhoid season it would
he well to place the order at once ns
there is such a demand until it n >w
ppears that some of the “eleve iMi
l our” orders cannot be filled.
LEAVE THEM ALONE
On all sides there are heard pro
tests against nny legislation toward
the possible discontinuane of the dis
trict agricultural schools..
The trouble with Georgia is not,
too many schools but too fesv.
With more schools, better informa
tion, and the spread of knowledge to
s ll classes of people will come a bet
ter understanding of the problems of
the day and less prejudice in public
affairs..
With greater, acquaintance with
be world and its methods, with mt-
ters of agriculture and finance, our
people will be in position to make
greater fortunes and to put a fur
gieater income in'the state treasury.
To abolish any schools, would be
l ke destroying a vast orchard a -p'
vi two before it was to come to
t on—merely because it was occur; -

THE 08INCS OF
We don't know r who wrote it but
it is worth the time it takes to rend
it.
Consider the country Editor., lie
weareth purple and linen. His abode
is amongst the mansions of the rich.
His wife hath her limousine and her
first-born sporteth a racing car that
can hit her up in 40 flat..
I-o! all the people breaketh their
necks to hand him money. A chili is
horn unto the wife of o merchant in
the bazar.. The physician getteth 10
golden plunks. The editor wri.teth a
stick an a half and telleth the mul
titude that the child tippeth the beam
at nine pounds. Yes he lieth even as
5i centurion. And the proud father
gives him a Cromo.
Behold the young one roweth up
and graduateth. .And the editor put-
tm:l» into his paper a sw^ll n tier*.
Yea. « peach of a notice He t»!!etb
of the wisdom of the young woman
and of her exceeding comeliness.
I ike unto the roses of Sharon is she
and her kown is played up to beat the
hand. And the dressmaker getteth
two score and four iron~men. An.I
the ediov gets a note of thaims frmi
the S. G. G. *
The daughter goeth on a jour nay.
And the editor thoweth himself on a
story of a farewell party. It runnsth
a column solid. And the fair one to-
rnembereth from afar with a picture
postal card that costeth six ffor a jit
ney
Behold she returneth and the
young of the city fall down and 'wor
ship.. She picketh one and lo she
picketh a lemon but the editor calledh
In one iv£ uur most promising young
men and getteth" away wfth it. ’ And
tyhe send unto him a bid to the wed
ding feast and behold the bids a*r
fashioned by Montgomery-IIawba Jc
in a far city.
Flowers and long is the wedding
notice which the editor prlhteth. 'lh*
minister getteth 10 bones. The gromi
standeth the editor off foe a 12-
nonth subscription..
All flesh is grass and in time th*
wife is gathered unto the sod. The
minister getteth his hit. The edit ?
printeth notice,, two columns of obit
uary three lodge notices, a cubit of
poetry and a card of thanks. And he
forgetteth to read proof on ‘..lie head
and. the darned thing corneth out
‘Gone to Her Last Roasting Plajv.”
And all that are akin to the de
ceased junipeth on the editor with ex
ceeding great jumps. And they pull
cr.h out their ads and cancelleth their
suberiptions and then swing the
.hammer uunto the third and fourth
generations.

THIS IN HAS
Louisville, Ky—A 1921 tale of the
Jonah variety with the principals re
versed in their roles has just been
unfolded here..
N. C. Howington, 30 years old, an
electrical engineer was seized with
nausea. He retired with a feeling
much like that experienced by first-
timers on an ocean trip. He then suf
fered a severe coughing spell an dur
ing it coughed out a live fish about
four inches long and resembling a
perch.. The fish died a few moments
later..
But the puzzle of how Howerton
ever became possessed of the fish is
ere that neither he nor his physician
can answer.. Howerton has a theory
but is not sure of its plausibility.
“I did a lot of swimming when I
was a boy,” he says.. “Can i.t be pos
sible that I swallowed a small fish
and that it grew to its present size
in my stomach?”
The doctor shakes his head but.
then there is the evidence of the fioh
If Howerton’s theory is not the right
one, then how did the fish get there?
