SANITARY WATER SUPPLY NECESSARY TO HEALTH, GOVERNMENT SAYS
Washington, Sept. 2.—The public Health Service warns that in providing a water supply great care should be taken to construct and operate the supply so that no disease agents may enter it.
"It is desirable that the water be clear and cool, that it have no objectionable odor or taste, and that it be free from any excess of mineral substances which make it hard and unsuitable for washing," the Health Service says.
In the same connection it is recommended that water systems be installed. Frequently farmers thereby have been able to eliminate pumping by hand or carrying water in and out of the house.
