Does your city or town have a central source of water-supply? Where is it? 22. Visit the waterworks of your city or town and describe to the class how the water is obtained, how prepared for use, and how distributed to buildings. How can you prove that beverages are not real foods? 2. What is tea? What is coffee? What are chocolate and cocoa? 3.
To have lived in the house at all it must have been rebuilt, and even then nothing could have made it a cheerful place of residence. There was no water-supply that I could discover, unless half a dozen butts that took the drippings of the roof represented it. The orchard had long ago gone back to barbarism. It appeared that the place had been deserted for half a dozen years. I did not wonder.
Even with our present exceedingly imperfect systems, probably not more than between five and ten per cent of typhoid is transmitted in this way; and, if the water-supply were kept clean, this would practically disappear. Typhoid may not only be transmitted from the earth beneath and the water under the earth, but also from the heavens above, through the medium of flies and dust.
By what mishap or mismanagement the supply of food had fallen short there had been abundant opportunity for either we were never to learn; but concerning the water-supply and Falk's duplicity, we were very soon enlightened.

Disillusionment came later, as it does everywhere in the East, yet on that spring morning Khan Yunus, shining like an emerald, came as balm to eyes weary with the aching barrenness of the desert. The Turks had originally intended to hold the place, probably on account of its valuable water-supply, but thought better of it and retired to Gaza.

Now they've got all the street railroads in their pocket they want the water-supply too but you know that as well as I do. Fact is, they've got to have it; and there's where you and I come in." Mr. Spragg thrust his hands in his waistcoat arm-holes and turned his eyes back to the window.
A due water-supply should be carried up to every story, and provided for the bathrooms, the wash-houses, and the kitchen. Every edifice in America is likely to be already furnished with means of warmth; and the soldiers are probably in no danger of shivering over the uncertain promise of stoves on the 18th of December.
In one corner stood a little camp bed, neatly made for the day; a table and a chair, of the cheapest species, occupied the middle of the floor, and on the hearth was an oil cooking-stove. 'It's wonderful how little one really wants, remarked Mr. Spicer, 'at all events in weather such as this. I find that I get along here very well indeed. The only expense I had was for the water-supply.
Felix de los Rios and four others of the Cuban army, carrying sealed dispatches from the Cuban government to Señor T. Estrada Palma, of the New York junta. The U.
