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.

As soon as she revived, Mrs. Baldwin declared abe had taken no poison, but had poured the morphine out tn the yard.

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. NEW GAS PLANT OFFERS ILLUMINATION AT RATE OF 80 CENTS.

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? Every township In oUr state should bnrt tornoy N'apl sin a lions fide Atlanta will hare a competitor to the pfliiy which Itoiv holds the monopoly on n.
