Choice Books For. Children .
If a child loves books at all, you can
hardly begin too early to instruct her
or him (there is no reason for always
saying "him") with really -valuable
books. The fine book sets a standard
of treatment for the .rest. If the child
has only cheap, flimsy volumes, "al
ways coming to pieces, a book will
seem to be worthy of no care, and the
library will not be valued. But a
choice work, beautifully' bound, is so
charming a possesskjn that it, will ben
sure of x respectful .treatment, and the
owner will come to see that a book
is, of may be, a matter Worth consid
eration. There are in second-hand
stores thousands of good bookjs that
cost no more than the poorly printed,
works, despised by all "who think

Copper Treatment of Water.
The public must not make the mis
take of imagining that the copper
treatment for destroying disease bac
teria in water supply systems Is de-,
signed to replace or supersede slow
sand and other efficient means of fil
tration now. employed. It is intended
to supplement these methods. Filtration
is usually effective, but many times
cannot be used. The method is so ex
pensive that the vast majority of
towns are obliged to do without it.
Again, there are many times when the
polluted water of a reservoir must be
purified at once. An epidemic is at
hand, and ttyere is no time for slow fil
tration. Then it is that Dr. Moore's
discovery helps us. By his method, in
a few hours we can thoroughly steri
lize the water, destroying every dan
gerous germ in It, and the process is
so cheap that every small town can
afford to adopt it Frr6m Gilbert H.
