Wise women ar e replenishing their Winter Wardrobes with telllnp effect for many a lovely danolng frock, or fascinating-gown or luxurious eya- nlnsr wraps may be plckod u p at as tonishingly low prices. 1 have noticed prominent women buying, not out dress, but many, the styles are un usually good and very exclusive. At this season at entertaining many of us have already displayed our ne w frocks to our friends—at dances or dinners—so this salo comes oppor tunely Just as we are desiring another track or wrap, and will save you very nearly half of what you would pi« for the same stunning garments at tho brglnnlnpr of the season. If you are contemplating a fur purchase be tween now and Christmas don't by any means overlook those at Malson Maurlre—especially the very popular blue fox sets and the Seal Coats.

Y., is a well which caused THIRTY-FOUR CASES of TYPHOID fever during the pnst summer. The well in question is close to a pubbc hitching shed, where farmers whp drive in from the surrounding country put up their horses, so that great many people drink from it. There, is a small building near by, and in April last a toilet VBB installed in this building. The drain from the toilet ran within two feet of the well, and AN OPEN- IMG WAS LEFT INTO THE BRAIN to carry off surplus water pumped from the well. This opening was in such a position that a large flow in the pipes might back up and FORCE SEWAGE THROUGH TH13 SOIL FROM DRAIN TO WELL. Early in May, a few weeks after this drain was laid, typhoid cases begun to occur. There were thirty-three cases in all between May and the middle of July, all among users of the well water. Some wero mpmhers of tho family of the man who owned the well. Some were i lnldron who came to visit this family. Two were high school girls, one wns n nuul carrier, and several were passersby from out of town, who -lopped of the well for a DRINK OF COOL WATER on their way. As soon as the outbreak was traced to its source the well was ordered • Irweil. and the outbreak stopped There was just one man WHO ®-\KW MORE THAN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. He said ill tln« talk about the water was nonsense, and he drank from the well alter it hud bren ordered closed. He promptly CAME DOWN WITH TilMinill FEVER. The ftinner must usually rely on a well for his drinking water, and mnny wells give water of excellent quality. This Waterloo case, how- fyi-r. reminder that a well which is NOT PROPERLY PRO TECTED may be a serious source of danger. I'nliiiung-watter may get into a well in two different ways—through the soil, us in this Waterloo case, or from the surface of the ground by twistiing in at the top. In order to avoid the first danger the well should hi* plai -i 'd AS FAR AS POSSIBLE from drains and privies. It should ncypr bp between such sources of pollution and the nearest stream or pond because the underground water usually moves TOWARD streams and ponds. Pollution from the top is probably more common than pollution ihrough the ground. If a well is loosely covered so that surface wash from the bnrnvard gets into it, it is really not a well at all, but a LITTLE BARNYARD POND. In order to avoid this danger the well should have a curb rising well above the snrfuce of the ground and a TIGHT wooden or concrete COVER. It is an excellent plan to have the sides of the well for two feet or so down made tight by brick and mortar or concrete, so that nothing can get into the well without being WELL FILTERED through the soil. Srmdy soil is the safest soil for a well, because sand is an excellent FILTERING AGENT for taking out bacteria. The farmer can protect hia own well and. make, it safe, but it is al ways a risk to drink from a casual roadside well, which may be like tie Last week won a busy one at t'.ie Gedney Farm Hotel as the 'holidays were marked by many activities.
