EVERY LEA? PURE

A farmer friend has written to ask'
PURE WATER.
me if there is any way in which he;
may have the purity of his well tested.,
He wants to know if it is good water
for his family to drink, and is intelli-
gent enough to realize that the mere;
fact that it tastes all right is no
evidence.
My friend may secure a test of his
water through a commercial labora-
tory of the Provincial Department of
Health. It will be necessary for him
to secure from them an absolutely
sterile container in which he may mail.
them a sample. Their analysis will
tell him if it contains any appreciable
number of colon bacilli. If it does
not, he may consider it safe to drink
just at present. If it does he must
clean out his well. And that is about
the extent of his gain.
A much better way is to clean out
the well, and then put it in such con-
dition that it will be safe from con-
tamination. The test that he has made
simply tells him the condition of the
water at the time the sample is
taken. Contamination may occur
often.
Some of the faults about ordinary
farm wells that permit drinking water
to be contaminated are: (1) loose
curbing, allowing surface water to
run in; (2) leaky well platform, per-
mitting the filth that may have been
left upon the platform by manure -
covered shoes, or the droppings from
chickens, cows or other animals to be
washed down into the well; (3) dirty
well ropes; (4) the handling of well
bucket by dirty hands or depositing
It upon dirty surfaces.
These faults may be remedied and
this is a good time of the year to do
It. See that the inside of the well is
laid up in cement down to the water -
bearing portion. See that an impervi-
ous well curb extends at least ten
inches above the ground. Make the
cover absolutely tight, preferably us-
ing concrete. When the pump is in
place be careful to protect any space
that is left around it. With such a
well you will find no need of sending
water for analysis, provided that its
location is far enough away from the
privy and barns that it cannot be con-
taminated by underground seepage.
To disinfect a well against germ
pollution you may use chloride of lime,
commonly known as bleaching pow-
der. Be sure that it is fresh. Mix a
pound of the powder in a gallon of
water thoroughly, pour a portion into
the well and stir it by agitating the
water in any manner most convenient.

A man coming upstairs helped him

"What's up?" the man asked.
Hull glared at him, for the mo-

pushed the newcomer aside, opened
the door of the apartment opposite,
went in, and slammed it atter him.
The man who assisted him to rise
was dark and immaculately dressed.
"I judge Uncle James has been ex-
ercising," he murmured before he
took the next flight of stairs.
On the door of apartment 12 was a
legend in Old English engraved on a
calling card. It said: -
