The notice will be published in the Herald and also placed on roads lead- g to the town from all directions.

Dr. Griswold further states that the notice is intended simply as a precautionary measure People are bt to forget the experience of nast idemice and probably few persons Berlin have any distinct remem- ce of the epidemic in this town d vicinity only nine years ago, but Doctor Griswold remembers ft and has a very vivid recollection of the fourteen cases he attended at that time and has no desire for a repeti- tion of the experience.

It tests the endurance of those at home and at the front, and it is natural that ill feeling and discontent | should develop. “This situation is, being abused by irresponsible individ- uals who wish to mislead labor into resorting to measures which are not in the slightest degree adapted to re- lieve the burden but rather to increase it. An attempt is being made, through anonymous leaflets which have been circulating for several months among members of the party and of unioas, to’ sow hatred and distrust against the deputies chosen by the workmen themselves. The charge launched against these men, who for years have stood at the head of the organ- ization of German labor classes, is that they are sacrificing socialist principles, have disregarded decisions of German socialist party conventions and inter- national congresses, have perpatrated party treason, etc. “Such insinuations and abuse could be disregarded if labor simultaneously was not instigated to {ll-advised pro- ceedings and an unscrupulous propa- ganda conducted for strikes and mass actions for which the untons and the Bocialist party must disclaim all re- sponsibility. Whither must it lead if labor undertakes action which is or- ganized by Irresponsible individuals on their own account and without a proper purpose? The consequences must be borne by the individual par- ticipants, and nefther party nor unions can grant strike relief. “The organization of wage move- ments and strikes rests with the com- petent union committees and thoy are doing everything to emphasize the Justifiable demands of members of thelr organizations, Bxtraordinary difficultles are present in the distri- bution of the food supply, We have not failed to combat abuses exist- ing In this fleld with every means at our disposal, We have struggled un- ceasingly to tmprove the efficiency of | measures for the relief of the unem- and for the aid of the wives | played and widows of goldjers and the wounded, We must, however, refuse to resort te measures which are sure to fail, “Just now, when our brothers in uniforms en all fronis must withstand a mighty onslaught by the armles of our enemies and must make unde- scribable sacrifices and when just be- fore the harvest, the faed supply p: sents the greatest difficulties, eact thoughtless action may be fatal and abeve all r labor itself the se- verest blow. “Our most important task is to aid in the speedy coming of peace.

Well water forced the into the company’s pumping | plant at Mountain View will be served mains from water | to the townspeople for the balance of the summer, substituting for that liquid which for several days has been masquerading under the name aqua pura. As the results of numer- ous complaints against the vile-smel- ling and unpalatable water, Superin- tendent J. N. McKernan erday shut off the reservoir supply and put the pumps in operation. As the mains still hold a consider- able quantity of the reservoir water, | the residents are getting a mixture that is not as yet delectable. It will { probably be a day or two at least be- | fore the unsavory water is cleared out | of the pipes. After that the service | 5 is expected to be entirely satisfactor) Reports of the analysis made last that the vegetable growth in the bot- reservoir which pollutes water would not develop sufft- ciently to cause any trouble for at least two weeks, according to En- gineer McKernan. The warm weather of the past few days, however, caused | the plants to ripen quickly and as a consequence scores of complaints have been heard since Monday. The water has been almost chocolate in color and has a distinctive odor that is almost nauseating. Chemists claim that the water is harmless, however, and that the taste and odor is caused by an oil which | emanates from the growth at the bot- ! tom of the lake. As has been the case since the wells were driven, the company will have its pumps operating during the day- time, and it is thought that the pres- sure will be sufficiently high to, force enough water into the standpipe | | on the top of the mountain to supply | | the | the town during the night. | Superintendent McKernan intends | to use a sulphate of:copper solution | in the reservoir to kill the vegetable | growth in order that the reservoir | supply may be resorted to in case of | | emergency. | The well water is pure and clear as | crystal, and by the time that water ot ned from the reservoir is forced from the dead ends es will he vastly improved pumps been started earlier fewer complaints company would be favor. the servi Had the there would and the in more be water | popular | Youngz Farmer's Success.

Connecticut peaches, the growers report, should be ripe and ready to market by the first of August. Their appearance at this time indicates that it will be at least three weeks before they will be ready to pick. Complain About Lights.

Many things hitherto expressly declared exempt from seiz- ure are now made absolute contra- band. The most striking addition to the | new list is “all salable securities and | commercial paper.” | The following articles also Machines and machine tools, lathes, wire, mineral oils, many talllc and chemical products, chemicals for poisonous gases, cotton and other tex- It tile raw materials, yarns, rubber and raw hides. o8- planes and parts of aeroplanes, | barbed wire, wire shears, binoculars, chronometers and nautical and ar- tillery instruments are transferred from the relative to the absolute con- traband list.
