as absurd as It once did,
We are using the same water today that
was used at the beginning of time. We
aren't running out of water, but we seem to
be running out of cernmon: sense as we
pollute the liquid at a tremendous rate.
With 20,000• chemicals on the market
now and 500 new ones introducedeach,
year, it's impossible to know what we're
drinking when we turn on the tap,
Herbicides on pasture lands draining, into.
lakes, rivers and streams is only one means
of pollution.
Some people dislike the taste of chlorine,.
but in many Cases, we shouldn't worry as:
much about the chemicals we know are in
the water as we should about the ones we
don't know.
While the development ' and use of
chemicals grow, concernedpeople are
searching for ways to protect themselves.

stop all of them. Bacteria collects inside the
filter, until the flow of water pushes some
of them through. Itis therefore essential to
watch the filter closely and to replace it

hills 'with its chimney smokin' and great-
grandpappy sitting on a rock out front with
a shotgun cradled in one arm and a jug of
moonshine under the other, you've got the
wrong idea,)
A gallon of distilled water sells for about
$1. An average smallfamily uses four
gallons a day for drinking and .cooking..$4 a

choosing to buy a home. distillery as an
economical alternative, A unit for an
average small family costs approximately
$400.
Some distilleries can be hooked intothe:

countertop µnits are more practical. Some
sophisticated machines cool the distilled
water, and a drink of cold purified water is.
always on tap. Of course, the more frills a
consumer wants the more he has to pay,
and most settle for a simple version of the
purifying system.
Ironic, isn't it? Manhas, to invent a
machine to purify the water, which he
polluted with the chemicals he developed
in the name of progress.

to determine the freshness of

Choosecobs that have fresh-
looking green outer husks

gets older, the silk will' start
to fall out: It isn't necessary
to peel back the .husk of the
