Cistern Filters Do Not Remove
Germs.
Cisterns that are' properly con
structed and receive rain water
from roofs generally afford water of
good sanitary quality, but if water
of doubtful quality is stored in cis
terns the supply is of course not
safe for domestic use. Filters used
in connection with cisterns are of
value in making the water clear but
are generally of no value in remov
ing disease germs. Many cisterns
are divided into two parts by a
brick wall, the water being admit
ted into one compartment and
drawn from the other. In such cis
terns the water passes through the
brick and in that way is improved
in clearness and color, but not gen
erally in sanitary quality. (U. S.

And Get the Light
One of the smallest performances
in the country is pulled off when
an American lad halts an American
citizens and asks for a match to
light a cigarette with -and gets the
match - DeKalb County Herald.
Why Not Take in a Few More?
Congress, is about to impeach a
federal judge. Why not make it
two or three? There are others
who have been invariably deciding
against the people under circum
stances that lend suspicion, to state
it mildly Henry County Demo
crat. Uncle Joe Thou ;ht it an Accident.
"Uncle" Joe Cannon is figuring on
running for Congress again. Uncle
Joe has become so used to run
ning things his own way that he
evidently believes that the blow
that struck him last fall was an ac
cident instead of a well-directed
effort on the part of his constitu

St, Joseph Democrats Sensible.
St. Joseph Democrats showed
sense in keeping out of the factori
al fight which culminated in an at
tempt by one Republican faction to
"recall" a Republican mayor. The
Democrats simply climbed into the
attic and encouragingly yelled:
'Go in Betsy, go in B'ar." And
Betsy and the B'ar went in Henry

What John A. Logan Said.
South Carolina's governor says:
"I wouldn't appoint no man to noth
ing that didn't vote for Blease." The
elegant grammar of Mr. Blease re

Gen. John A. Logan: "We never
speak as we pass by: nie . to Jim
Blaine, nor he to I. Kansas City

The Boston Transcript remarks

money to waste on Missouri roads.

Senator Reed'a Apt Comment.
"It seems to me unwise," declar
ed Senator Reed, "that ' with busi
ness tied up because of the fact that
it is waiting for the bill ' to pass
that we. should stop to discuss
humming birds. I wonder why we
don't stop sometimes to talk about
tens of thousands of persons who
live along the edge of want I won
der why we do not stop to protect
the pauper child. I wonder why we
cannot take a little time from the
songster of the field for the song
ster of the cradle and give some
thonght to the babe reared in pov
erty and crime. We should be per
forming a better task for humify."
