MRS. J.. G. BROWN
THOSE near sighted anti -suffragists
who argue that woman's place is in. the
home forget that this would be a sorry
sort of a world if women held to that
position.. The patrons of Public School
No. 6 in Salem Township can tell you
that.. This school had a man principal
until the war called the men-to the
colors.. Mrs. J. G. Brown, of Weeksville.
R. F. D. 1, then and there was persuad
ed to take over the school.. .Her place
was in her home, but the, community
needed herand she gave herself to the
school last winter.. Last fall the school
committee and the county superinten
dent again found themselves in a predi
cament, the school term hard upon them
and no principal available. .Again Mrs.
Brown took the school and is making a
splendid record.. In addition to her
school duties she' keeps house and finds
time to look after her husband and
three small children.. Last summer she
had a garden and a cotton patch.. She
put up 200 quarts of vegetables from
her garden and sold $100 worth of cot
ton, investing the money from the cot
ton in War Savings Stamps. She is
active in ever social and patriotic
movement in her community. One
play whifh she staged netted $30 for
Red Cross work. Recently she and he
assistant, Miss Stillman,. gave a box
supper which realized $67.16 with which
to buy a globe, a dictionary, pictures,
charts, curtains, etc. for the school;

If you suspected that the water you
drink was mixed with teachings from
the manure pile and was full of wrig
gling bacteria, what would you do a
bout it? The thought is bad enough,
water is the same as taking a mild dose
of poison, due to the presence of de
caying organic matter and also to the
activities o'f the bacteria. Not only may
the water be poisonous, but the bacter
ia themselves are very likely to be of
such a specie that they would be able
p cause typhoid, dysentary, or other
forms of sickness.
The reality may be found in many
North Carolina wells or cisterns, be
cause of overlooked or neglected con
tamination in the source of supply.
This is the time of the year when re
pairs -may be most conveniently made
to both welf or cistern, and a pure
supply of water assured for use dur
ing the summer. '
Pur water is clear, absolutely with
out vaste or odor, and when freshly
drawn, sparkles. If the water used for
drinking purposes has either a smell
or taste, something is wrong and that
something should be attended to AT
ONCE. The "At Once" part of the
program is emphasized in order" that
future cases of sickness may.be avoid
ed. Even if the water is apparently in
good shape, a thorough examination
should be made to be sure that there
are n crevices through which an out
side contamination might enter.
A well is merely a reservoir for the
storage of underground water, just as
a cistern is a reservoir for storing rain
water. If surface, or polluted water
gst:3 into either of them, the whole
supply is contaminated and its use
for drinking purposes becomes a dan
gerous practice.
Avoid such a condition of affairs by
repairing all possible "leaks in and about
the well of cistern. The well curbing
should be cemented on the outside from
a point three feet below the ground
level, to the top and earth banked
against this in such a manner that all
surplus water will drain' away from
and not into the -well. The water should
be pumped off and all sediment remov
ed from the bottom and sides of well
or cistern. The cover should receive
careful attention to avoid a leak of any
kind. If the cover is made of wood, all
partially decayed planks should be re
moved, careful attention paid to the
fitting of cover on top of well to keep
out frogs and insects, and the crack
filled with some waterproof substance
asphalt or tar. .
