public water supplies because of carelessness or the lack of due diligence in the cation of safety measures This ment comes from Dr Isaac D lings state health director who points out in a bulletin issued recently that water borne epidemics are absolutely preventable and that a staff of sanitary engineers attached to the department of public health is ways available to local officials who desire assistance in connection with the construction modification or operation of water supply and age disposal plants borne epidemics used to be common and disastrous in said the director Now they are rare and more readily controlled but the high state of pollution in many of the lakes and rivers from which Illinois communities draw public supplies makes eternal vigilance and gent operation of water plants the price of safety Not knowing what to do or how to insure safety is small excuse for a local official charged with the supervision of public water supplies because all necessary in- formation

Fred to a running guard and speed boy played a whale of a game L rick took his place at forward but didn't go so good there and was re- placed by Cox in the second half Coxey showed a good eye for the
