Kenilworth Water. Bad. In the village of Kenilworth a $20,- 000 coagulation filter plant Is em ployed to treat the lake water. This plan g,ive satisfaction until recently, when, the tests of the water showed contamination. Dr. Stolp, village health head, caused a circular to be sent to all the villagers requesting the boiling of the water. "We merely want to take all the precaution we can against the possl bility of typhoid In Kenilworth," said Dr. Stolp. "There is not much alarm here, but since several case* of typhoid have been reported ln Bv anston, It behooves us to be careful In this village. There Is not a case of typhoid fever in Kenilworth today.' A story gained circulation that the sewage dumped Into the lake at Wau (kegan had caused the contamination of the lake water. However, there are several causes. Dr. Roome claims the recent stormy conditions ln the lake region to be tbe chief cause. The rough seas, have completely rtirred the water until "the germ-laden water is washed about the intakes of the various village water plants. The water supply in WHmette Is furnished by Evanston. Likewise, Glencoe residents receive their water from the Winnetka municipal plant, which is said to be one of the best equipped ot small plants along the north shore, Kenilworth is the only village which has its individual plant and does not supply other places. Regarding the disposal of sewage at Waukegan, George W. Faullin, the Evanston trustee of the sanitary -fasthiage district, has condemned the method used in the north shore town. "The -condition of the lake water *outh of Waukegan is a menace to every citizen of the north shore," said Mr. Paullln. "It is not improb- able that before the situation Is cleared up legal action will be. v taken against the Waukegan officials to pre- vent further pollution of the water •apply." Aside from the typhoid fever cases, Evanston is apparently free from con- tagion Just no.-w, according to Com- missioner of Health Roome. Only one case of scarlet fever has been ^Ported recently and one of chicken pox- This freedom from children's ffiMgw's ~ls' most unusual, '"..."'.T_^,_Zi; ntifl l)y his uppeui'uiieea with the most notable European and American or- nbestras, been recognized «>» one of ttif) ' world's great artists.

An injury to Fullback Brown, when Evanston academy had the pigskin on Wendell Phillips* one-yard line, pre- vented the Evanston preps from scor- ing In their game Saturday on North- western field. The final score wa? 14 to 0 in favor of the Chicago preps. Tbe game was well played and each team showed an inside knowledge of the game. During the first half both teams played evenly, neither being able to score. In the third quarter Koehler intercepted * forward pass and dashed twenty yards for the first scon. He then kicked goal. Then by a series of forward parses Wen- dell Phillips rushed the ball the full length oi the field, Sherman going over for the score. _â- " Near the close of the game Evans- ton carried the pigskin to the one- yard line. Fullback Brown was in- jured on a play, and with Mm out of the line-up. they could not •fj*"? tM ball the necessary twelve inches.

Respectfully, -.'y;;-** .~y:'.::. â- â-  p. Randlev. - "â- â- -'â- â- ::-- The Answer. .;:.-',:^-:"'-..-- The answer is supposed to be con- tained In the Issue of Sept. 28. Sev- eral correspondents have inquired by what arithmetical process the man- ager of the Hyde Park co-operative store figured profits as shown in last week's article on the co-operative venture. Some of them have submitted cal- culations . showing that tho figures quoted yield a deficit instead of a profit. Tbe explanation Is this: Tho store manager stated that the store did a business ^rTTTOOO per week. The correspondents who have written for information assume this to be gross sales, but the manager meant by "weekly business" the cost of the goods told, and that Is why in ht* figures the profit was computed upon the $1,000, instead of being extracted in the ordinary manner. .This la, of course, a mere subter- fuge. Any business man will bear me out that by tb* Wrm "business done" Is, meant goods sold, tad not goods bought. Bat, passing this by, let us consider the revised figures: $1,000 per week, plus *© per sary that they should titoroughiy un--^p . derstand tho principles, methods andâ- Â«'--v< details of the .work; which ,they.woujd^g 'g undertake,', ::v;; f'-M#3'l*^|^p'l'r'^ "In our country, those who wish' iO'mSM work for the public get out-and helpfgia. carry a ward, for the boss..
