All drinking water should be tested In town or country frequently, as there are other impurities besides sewage which are quite as deadly, and every cistern of water Is liable to be a source of blood poisoning. Mice, rats and other pests must have water, and many a case of typhoid is set up by such as these falling into the cistern and remaining there for months in a decomposed state. To detect this im­ pure condition is very simple and un­ failing. Draw a tumbler of water at night, put a piece of white lump sugar into it and place It on tbe kitchen mantel shelf or anywhere that the temperature will not be under (50 de­ grees F. In the morning the water, if pure, will be perfectly clear. If contaminated by wwape or other im­ purities the water will be milky. This Is a simple and safe test, well known In chemistry.
