DEPRECATES USE OF WELL WATER
PROF. E. H. S. BAILEY ISSUES A SIGNED STATEMENT.
Writes of Typhoid Situation and Recommends City Water for Drinking Purposes.
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, head of the department of chemistry, yesterday gave out the following signed statement concerning the typhoid fever situation.
Since so much has been said in regard to the danger in using well water in the city, a few words of explanation may be appropriate at this time. Both the chemistry department and the bacteriological department of the University have for years insisted that well waters in Lawrence are liable to be a source of danger. We must remember that a well is simply a hole in the ground, and it is often so related to the surface surroundings that surface drainage of all sorts has the opportunity of getting into it. Although the drainage of the sur face may be away from the well, the rock strata below may slope towards the wall. Besides this, water may percolate through the soil for some distance, and find its way into the well. There are sewers in many localities; but it should not be forgotten that they often leak, either on account of bad engineering, or from a crack in the earth in dry weather.
Another thing that should be remembered is that although the water of a well may at the present time give no indications that it is impure, yet later, if the conditions change or the channels which carry the water, become opened,filth may find its way into the well. On this account we say that we can never trust a well water in a thickly populated city.
The chemical analysis of the water in the vicinity of the ravine in West Lawrence, and the bacteriological examination of this same water show that these waters are not safe. There are other localities where we have proved that same thing to be true.
Some of them are very bad and should be immediately condemned and closed by the city authorities. It is a strange fact that when a water is of fine appearance and taste and is clear, the average citizen thinks it must necessarily be wholesome, while in reality, it is like a solution of prussie acid, simply liquid poison. It is true that such a water may be boiled for ten minutes and all injurious germs would be killed; but there is danger that the unboiled water may be used for domestic purposes about the house
The city water, it is true, is not always satisfactory in appearance or color. It should not be forgotten that this water is drawn from wells in the bottoms quite remote from a thickly populated section of the city. The chemical and bacteriological analysis of the water have been frequently made during the past month at the University and we have reasons to believe that it is much safer, as a source of supply, than any wells in the city. The city supply is not river water. The green color sometimes noticed is due to the presence of certain vegetable forms, known as algae; and the reddish color which is sometimes apparent when the water stands for sometime, is due to the presence of iron in the water, neither of these substances will produce disease.
From what has been said, then, it is evident that the newspapers and the physicians of the city are right in warning the people against the use of well water no matter how good it seems to be.

Four students were suspended from the University of Kansas for crooked work in school politics, and the suspension came upon recommendation of the student body. Many a Kansas politician has started his training in that line at the University, and a little purity in school politics has been needed there for a long time.—Eudora News.
