Ha says there are over 400 granges In the stale, and over 300 of them own their own grange balls, which range In value from $2,000 to jfti.OOO or more. A grange of 200 members Is almost cer tain to have its own hall, nud this gives a permanence to the grange movement that Is unquestionable. The grunge membership has increased from j 20,000 to £>4,000 in twelve years. The j larg. st. grange !n the state and per- ; baps In the United States Is Houlton grange, with 900 members.

I | FOR PURE WATERS 1 AND BETTER HEALTH j Health Commissioner Dixon's Great' Task I? to Reclaim the Water* of tie State From Pollution. HI DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE Sanitary Engineering Divitien of the Department of Health la Teaching Municipalities Efficient and Economical Method) of Drainage. A lamentable and tremendous amount of neetlleas suffering, sickness, expanse and death annually result from the wanton pollution of tho suchine of Pennsylvania atnong those individuals dependent upon thes# sources of supply for drinking water. Hundreds of communities hang in the balance and at any time may have an epidemic of typhoid fevor stalking through their midst and decimating their numbers. Hundreds of the young aoa best lives of the commonwealth ara aonually sacrificed to the unsani tary customs of sewage disposal. Poi ses materia! of human origin from public and private Institutions, sewers and privies are emptied into streams at points but abort distances above wa ter works intakes, and in a few hours thereafter are delivered through the wa'er pipes of public systems to many lur.osent and unsuspecting Individuals, who rest secure in the belief that the publio authorities, having in charge tJae furnishing of drinking water, and who are responsible for the purity ot ths water thus supplied, are faithfully performing their obligations. Publlu and prtvate corporations, bow aver, eveu when earnestly Inclined, : ate often limited In their powers to I pi event sewage contamination, of the i sources of water supply. : After years of affliction, and at a ( terrtao cost In human life, it has finally j #«wneu upon the people that a higher I authority tbao the municipality must grapple with the problem and afford a remedy. It is, therefore, of interest tc eveiy citizen of the commonwealth to know about the work that Health Commissioner Dixon Is doing to pre serve ibe purity of the waters of the state in fulfillment of the duty laid upen feint by the act of April 22, 1905. The enormity of the task U com prenended when one realises the fact that almost without an exception eveiy city, borough and municipality ; in Pennsylvania having a sewer ays | tern discharges Its filth into the most ; cobvanient nearby stream, regardless j of consequences to the user of that stream at some point below. Further, where there are no sew ers, privies ate almost universally lo cated on or near tho banks of natural water courses, which thus serve as epan sewers. By no known math* matlis is it possible to compute th« extent of evil, the misery, espouse, poverty, lifelong suffering and death which this custom entails; but it is s fa ot that a large amount of it all would be driven from the state if sanitary methods of sewage disposal wers adoptee It i* tbe privilege, as well as the duty of the State Health Commission at to bring about lust this result. No short sighted, vacillating and radical p®iiey could bo successful In such s gr**t undertaking. It will necessarily fee the work of years to undo the cus tout* of generations and establish uni verse) healthful conditions. Us auc ts*» m a measure depends upon ttat enlightenment and co-operation of the people. The stupidity and skepticism of * preoccupied and selfish populttcs l* a barrier to (juick results. Wher« the public conscience la quickened, voluntary reforms will be inaugurated and benefits will be at once secured In other cases the law will have to be invoked and enforced. Tbe Chief Engineer of the Depart ment, P. Herbert Snow, and his assis tants are now traversing every part oj the State, making examinations ol sewerage systems and water aupplini and collecting data with respect to tin ; quality of all of tbe waters In Pean | sylvuola. More than this is being done, i sources of pollution and menaees which can be abated at once are reported to the commissioner, and in many caaet i a request on bis part to the ownei | of the premises is sufficient to cause • a removal of the nuisance. Th* num ber of letters of encouragement and 1 co-operation in this kind of reform j received by the commissioner splendld | ly illustrates the willingness of the cit ! liens ot the state to do what is righk la a few cases owners wilfully refuse I Plttsfield, Mass., can have the meet , lng of the next Bay State grange If It can secuse sufficient hotel accammeda ' ttona.
