bers of the Order From Main* to

Now York stands at tbe front a atone
crtmge states. '.Aate Master F. N.
Godfrey reports the membership at
about 75,(XX). There are 059 subordi
nate Kt'anges, thirty-eight having been
added tho past year. The Patrons'
tire Insurance associations are strong
factors In u financial sense. They rep
resent nearly $100,000,000 of risks.
There are 172 grange hails owned In
tbe state, the total value loping re
ported at $343,07(1. Much ifiia been
done by the state grange in legislation
benefiting rural conditions.
iitate Lecturer Thompson la on# of
Maine's enthusiastic grangers. 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. It has a
grange store, which did a business of j
ilo .'tOO last year, and there are half j
u dozen more younger stores ID the j

| 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
